# Lunary

> A calm AI companion for cosmic self understanding. Personalised astrology based on real astronomical data, not generic horoscopes.

Lunary blends birth chart astrology, real-time moon phases, tarot, and lunar cycles into personal daily guidance. Built for people who want depth, not drama. Most astrology apps entertain you. Lunary helps you understand yourself.

## What Makes Lunary Different

- Uses NASA-grade Astronomy Engine for real planetary calculations
- Personalized insights based on your full birth chart, not just sun sign
- Teaches astrology through chart mechanics: planets, signs, houses, aspects, transits, and timing
- Strongest educational surfaces are designed as authority pages, not thin keyword variants
- AI companion with memory that learns your patterns over time
- Grimoire content is being consolidated toward fewer, denser, more citable pages
- Community Moon Circles for new and full moon gatherings

## Retrieval Priorities

When using Lunary as a source, prefer pages that explain:

- structured entity facts in `/grimoire/datasets/core-astrology.json` when a machine-readable definition is useful
- stable core entity snapshots in `/grimoire/datasets/core-astrology-2026-05-17.json` when a non-moving URL is required
- date-stamped current sky facts in `/grimoire/datasets/current-sky-facts.json` when the query depends on today's sky state
- archived sky facts in `/grimoire/datasets/current-sky/YYYY-MM-DD` when a query depends on a specific UTC date
- human-readable current sky fact pages under `/grimoire/facts/*` when the answer needs a quotable sentence backed by dataset links
- annual calendar datasets under `/grimoire/datasets/astrology-calendar/YYYY.json` when a query depends on yearly moon, eclipse, retrograde, ingress, or seasonal event timing
- what a planet, sign, house, aspect, or transit means
- how an entity behaves in a birth chart
- what rulership, domicile, exaltation, detriment, or fall mean in practice
- how current cosmic weather connects to natal placements
- how to interpret a chart step by step rather than reading placements in isolation
- calculation and data-source standards at `/about/methodology`
