The long-form reference for Moon is being written.
The skeleton above is the reference: archetype, dignity table, rhythm, and keywords. Deeper sections — Moonthrough each sign, through each house, in aspect, in retrograde, and the common misreadings — are hand-written, not generated. They layer in as they’re finished.
