Lunar Calendar as a gadget displaying the current as well as past and future information about the Moon s phases, signs, void-of-course periods, and how they are related to various day to day activities health, gardening, cutting hair etc. . On the attached diagram, Lunar Data is a binary file s containing compressed astronomical lunar data for a period of ten or maybe better twenty years. It is recorded in UTC and Converter adapts this information to the current time zone, date and time, as well as extracts the relevant bits of information. One of the Formatters, corresponding to the topic selected by the user, creates the output using the lunar data from the Converter as well as relevant textual interpretations from a separate text file s . This device can be implemented as a fridge magnet or a sort of picture frame but without requirements to high quality graphics of the latter. Its display can be easily monochrome. The main point is that the users could have it where they will be able to always see it like in the kitchen and that it should be as affordable as possible.

Very interesting. I think the device ought to display the year as well as day and month in view of being able to scroll through the calendar, to prevent confusion.
