Real Moon technologies

This page exposes separate computational and historical profiles rather than one generic lunar calendar. Similar counts are not treated as proof of a shared tradition; unresolved conventions remain closed.

Moon Technology Constitution V1

One physical Moon — several explicitly selected technologies

Astronomical authority is fixed first. Only then may the selected tradition derive its permitted values. Modern OmenHall, Ptolemy, tithi, and moonrise-based lunar days are never merged into a pseudo-historical system.

Astronomical Moon

live

astronomical-calculation · none

Authority: Astronomy Engine 2.1.19; a Moon-specific JPL regression acceptance is required before external release.

Algorithm: Geocentric coordinates, distance, phase angle, illumination, exact quarter events; local horizon only with explicit coordinates.

Boundary: No symbolic interpretation may mutate astronomical facts.

OmenHall Modern — 30 Lunation Stages

live

omenhall-authored · none

Authority: OmenHall-authored system; not a historical tradition.

Algorithm: The actual time interval between two consecutive exact new moons is divided into 30 equal temporal stages.

Boundary: Symbols and practices are labeled modern/authored; they are not called traditional lunar days.

Moonrise-based 30 lunar days — Globa 2006 profile

calculator-ready

modern-published-school · explicit-observer

Authority: Published procedure: new moon → first local moonrise → successive local moonrises → next new moon.

Algorithm: Boundaries depend on observer coordinates; day 30 can be short or absent.

Boundary: Only the calculation profile is enabled. Copyrighted book interpretations are not reproduced; antiquity claims are not treated as established provenance.

Ptolemy — Lunar Condition, Tetrabiblos I

calculator-ready

historical-source-bound · none

Authority: Tetrabiblos I: qualities of four lunation sections, Moon domicile in Cancer, exaltation in Taurus and depression in Scorpio.

Algorithm: Tropical sign + phase-angle quarter; only rules attested by the selected source profile.

Boundary: Historical astrological doctrine is presented as historical doctrine, not scientifically proven lunar influence; modern Moon-sign personality meanings are not mixed in.

Panchāṅga Foundation — Tithi

calculator-ready

source-bound-calculation · none

Authority: A tithi is defined by a 12° increase of lunar longitude relative to solar longitude; 30 tithis form a lunation.

Algorithm: Current tithi, paksha, and exact angular boundaries are calculated. Sunrise civil-day assignment is not yet presented as a complete Panchāṅga.

Boundary: Nakshatra, yoga, and named karanas remain fail-closed until an explicit nirayana/ayanāṃśa authority and procedure are fixed.

Indian Nakshatra

fail-closed

research-boundary · none

Authority: Requires a separate sidereal/ayanāṃśa profile.

Algorithm: Not activated until the reference frame is source-fixed.

Boundary: Do not merge with Arabic manāzil or Chinese xiù.

Lunar Mansions Research Cabinet

research-only

research-boundary · none

Authority: Indian nakshatra, Arabic manāzil, and Chinese xiù are maintained as three independent corpora.

Algorithm: No generic 28-mansion table is created without source-bound reconciliation.

Boundary: A similar number of stations does not make the technologies identical.

Expert calculation passport for the current Moon

Provider: astronomy-engine 2.1.19

Frame: geocentric-true-ecliptic-of-date

Input UTC: 2026-09-24T04:30:12.878Z

Authority: moon-authority:oh1-6d7712c9078e437f

Longitude: 330.589587°

Latitude: 0.089377°

Distance: 390374 km

Motion: 12.7355°/day

This technical passport explains the calculation provenance; it is not an astrological interpretation by itself.

Nakshatra / yoga / named karana remain fail-closed.

Compare technologies at the same instant

Choose a calculation profile. The same UTC instant remains the physical authority; only the permitted derivation changes. Coordinates are requested only for a technology whose procedure actually depends on local Moon rises.

This profile does not require observer coordinates.

The workbench does not request browser geolocation or convert a timezone into coordinates. It is an expert calculation surface, not evidence of physical effects claimed by astrological doctrines.
