Hi,

Can anyone recommend a programme to generate sunrise/sunset and moon phase
times for me to import into Outlook 2003. My timezone is GMT (London, UK)

Thanks.
 
For Lunar phases, check http://www.calendar-updates.com. For your other
request, check google.com.

There is a good program World Clock. Do not know about export but it
can even place the day/night wallpaper on your desktop.

Just curious. What do you use the Moon phases for? I know that many
people ask it but never understood what for.
Thanks.

To check for when that increased wooliness and tooth elongation is scheduled
to happen so we can safely shut ourselves in a cage for the duration of the
full moon and not eat our friends. ;)

No, I just like to know - just the same way most pocket diaries indicate the
phase of the moon. Actually the thing I'm most interested in is
sunrise/sunset, which actually has practical uses for me. However I cannot
find anything, anywhere, that calculates the times for my location and then
sets them up in a vcs or pst file. I'm amazed, surely someone somewhere has
done this...

On www.calendar-updates.com I'd found that already but they do not cover
European time zones.

Where do I go to learn how to create/edit my own pst/vcs files so I can do
it myself from the raw data (which I can calculate or get from an almanac)?

Thanks again.
 
Try exporting a month or two of your calendar to an .xls file and examine
the result in Excel. It'll give you an idea how easy it is to import your
custom data. Also have a look at
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html
to get data for your specific area.

A few Excel skills and you are there.

There's a wee problem with the hyperlink here. However, if you check the
Address Bar and remove anything after the 'com', you should get there.
 
In magic, different spells are done at different phases of the moon (or sun).
For example, if you wanted to INCREASE your wealth, you'd do your first spell
just after the New Moon and finish at the Full Moon. But if you wanted to
DECREASE or REMOVE the warts on your hand, you'd start just after the Full
Moon and finish at the New Moon. Maybe the same applies in business and other
fields of human endeavour!

It's not as unreasonable an idea as it might seem. Maybe human beings *are*
affected by the light and other energies pouring from the moon. In the days
when humans were hunter-gatherers, moonlight could sometimes be relevant,
even though humans are mainly daylight-oriented. Many women, and even some
men, say that moon phases affect their mood.

Of course, if you were in the military, New Moon would be the best time for
a night attack because the light would be minimum and the enemy would be less
likely to see you coming.

I hope that helps.

Sorry, but the moon generates no energies. The light the moon "gives off"
is simply reflected sunlight and is insignificant when compared with the
energy received from the sun itself. The only effect that the moon can have
is due to the force of gravity (think "tides") and that, for a single human
being) is nearly incalculable, let along measurable.

There's no scientific evidence of this.
 
Many Eastern/religious calendars are based on "Lunar Year" instead of "Solar
Year". Hindu and Buddhist, just to name two. There are many.
 
Outlook includes alternate calendars that are based on the lunar year and as
long as you know which phase is on which day of the lunar month, you can use
one as a secondary calendar. You'll have numbers 1 -28 on the right each
day and will need to think about the phase the number represents.

Outlook doesn't do sunrise and sunsets, in part because it is very specific
to your lat and long.
http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2008/20081020.htm has a list of some
weather icals - I thought one gave sunrise and sunsets, but apparently I
have a bad memory. :)

http://icalshare.com/ or calendar-updates.com might have moon phase but
probably not sunrise/sunset, except for major cities. If you live in the
fargo area,
http://iparrizar.mnstate.edu/~juan/classes/astr104/observing/astro_info.php
has sunrise/sunsets.

if you are near a coast, http://www.mobilegeographics.com:81/ has tides and
sunrise/sunset (world wide)

FWIW, a windows utility is often better for this because it can be
configured for your lat and long.
