I think I found something that half way explains Major and Minor
periods. In an article by Rick Taylor he says the following: "Just
calling the moon's overhead position "Major" strongly suggests it is
to be considered the best time to go that day, regardless of what
other influences may exist. " Does this mean that the Major period is
the moon overhead period and the minor period is the moon under
period? If so, what are the starting and stopping points? I can not
find that explained. Yes, some of articles say that the major is
about 1 1/2 hrs and the minor about 1 hr. but I haven't seen an
explanation as to how they determine the start and stop.

I have read several theories and find that every one of them are
confusing in that they introduce undefined terms. If you understand
the theory, I would like to correspond in order to clarify the theory.
