Progressed Lunar Phase

Progressed lunar phase is the normalized angular separation between progressed Moon and progressed Sun on the symbolic derived date. Scope is explicit.

Overview

Directed separation is 90°, the progressed first-quarter phase. This is the worked result for Progressed Lunar Phase; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Calculate both progressed longitudes under one progression key, map the 0°–360° separation to a declared phase scheme, and preserve exact boundary dates.

Definition and exact scope

Progressed lunar phase is the normalized angular separation between progressed Moon and progressed Sun on the symbolic derived date.

Calculation or decision rule

Calculate both progressed longitudes under one progression key, map the 0°–360° separation to a declared phase scheme, and preserve exact boundary dates. The receipt retains the chosen input record, reference frame, tolerance, and version, then identifies the first step where an independent recalculation diverges.

Worked case and illustrative near miss

progressed ☉ absolute longitude 100°; progressed ☽ 190°; same progression epoch. directed separation is 90°, the progressed first-quarter phase.

Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Using the unsigned 90° angle without checking direction and calling both quarter phases the same.

School, model, and context variants

Phase names are symbolic categories, not biological, financial, or relationship life-stage diagnoses.
