Eclipse and Lunation Transits
Lunation work compares a calculated New or Full Moon—and, separately, an eclipse—with natal positions and angles. Scope is explicit.
Overview
Node proximity supports eclipse classification and the natal Sun contact is 0°30′. This is the worked result for Eclipse and Lunation Transits; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Record exact phase time, Sun and Moon longitude, eclipse classification when applicable, contact orb, and whether a reliable natal angle is involved.

Definition and exact scope
Lunation work compares a calculated New or Full Moon—and, separately, an eclipse—with natal positions and angles.
Calculation or decision rule
Record exact phase time, Sun and Moon longitude, eclipse classification when applicable, contact orb, and whether a reliable natal angle is involved. 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
lunation 10°♈; lunar node 11°♈; natal ☉ 9°30′♈; declared eclipse and natal orbs. node proximity supports eclipse classification and the natal Sun contact is 0°30′.
Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Calling every new moon an eclipse without checking node proximity.
School, model, and context variants
An eclipse is an astronomical event, but claims that it causes a personal crisis are not established by calculating a natal contact.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate publishes Eclipse and Lunation Transits as an auditable knowledge reference and does not claim a dedicated calculator or generated result. Eclipse and Lunation Transits preserves contrary observations and uncertainty. It cannot replace consent, professional help, location research, or a person’s account.
