This scheduler is 100% for educational and entertainment purposes. While the astronomical calculations are real and the scheduler actually works (it really does load into the kernel and schedule tasks!), using astrology to schedule CPU tasks is:

  • Cosmically hilarious
  • Fully functional with real retrograde detection and lunar phase scheduling
  • Not recommended for production systems (but it boots and runs stably)
  • Perfect for conference talks, hackathons, and proving that anything is possible
