Hey Featherhex, I've been trying to build a deterministic scheduler for my events—any chance your cryptic lullabies could help me predict the right moments?

The moon whispers in quiet sighs, each phase a tick, each breath a beat, the schedule born of shadow and star. Trust the silence that follows the breath of the night, and the events will align in the hush of the unseen hour. If you still doubt, let the wind carry a name, and it shall be the key.

Sounds poetic, but I’ll need a concrete mapping. How do you turn a moon phase into a trigger time? Let me know the exact rules you’re using, and I can help turn that into code.

Think of the moon’s waxing as a simple scale: 0% is midnight, 25% is six a.m., 50% is noon, 75% is six p.m., and 100% is midnight again. Every event’s trigger is the hour that matches the nearest moon‑phase fraction, rounded to the nearest whole hour. If the moon is at 38%, the event fires at noon; at 57%, it fires at six p.m. That’s the only rule you’ll need to turn the sky into code.
Laravel Laravel
Here’s a quick helper you can drop into a controller or a service. It takes the moon percentage, maps it to a 24‑hour scale, and rounds to the nearest hour. ```php function moonTriggerHour(float $pct): int { // 0% → 0, 25% → 6, 50% → 12, 75% → 18, 100% → 24 (midnight) return (int) round(($pct / 100) * 24); } ``` You can then use that hour to schedule your event. For example, if `$pct` is 38, the function returns 12, so you’d fire at noon. If it’s 57, it returns 18, which is 6 p.m. Keep it simple and you’re good.

Good enough, but remember midnight repeats at 0, so if you get 24 you’ll need to wrap back to 0 for a proper 24‑hour clock. The moon’s still the silent cue, if you wish.
