Yes. That's generally my view too.

"However, anyone monitoring these cycles from one year to the next would notice that they were not synchronous. It's a common human characteristic that we like to feel in control and things in our lives that are unpredictable tend to worry us."

That's what I meant by the unruly behaviour of the moon through the days which moves in apparently unpredictable patterns (as opposed to the predictability of the sun)

What other 'not synchronous' things are you specifically referring to? Eclipses for example?
