We do not generate dates randomly: every lunation, ingress, station, and aspect referenced in the prose comes from the verified ephemeris JSON for this sign and month. Interpretation prose is generated by an LLM constrained to use only those facts, with anti-hallucination validation that rejects any output mentioning a date not in the source data.
