Does anyone know of a real chart similar to the format of the last panel? That might be a cool thing to link to. | Does anyone know of a real chart similar to the format of the last panel? That might be a cool thing to link to. | ||

I think this is primarily an astrology joke. Astrologers often use astronomical cycles (both real and made up) to "predict" future events or explain historic events. By having enough cycles, they can usually come up with results like "skinny jeans are always popular whenever the happy moon is in Pices and wet Mars is in the same Chinese zodiac as Mercury". | I think this is primarily an astrology joke.

:I figured it out; it turns out that I was simply wrong about how to calculate the length of a combined cycle. This [https://www.desmos.com/calculator/vaj4vapdul graph] shows that the two cycles would coincide every 400 days or so. Still can't figure out what "phase x distance" is meant to represent, though.

− | + | Do you suppose pointing "good" to the frowny part of the Lunar Mood cycle was intentional or an error? [[Special:Contributions/172.68.189.175|172.68.189.175]] 22:42, 6 July 2019 (UTC) | |
