I think I see now why your attempts failed. Emacs consults the variable
`calendar-holidays' - and only that, when marking holidays. When that
variable is initialized, the bindings of all the holiday-... variables
are appended. That means that changing any of these variables later
does not have an effect.
So what you want is to change or customize `calendar-holidays' I think,
e.g. by appending only some those holiday-... var values, or specifying
your own stuff etc. The variable should be bound to a list of holiday
style diary expressions, that's the only requirement.
You could also add the lunar phases there, but I don't think that would
allow you to change the color of the highlighting, you are limited to
one highlighting style.
Let me add: the code of calendar and diary is old, written in a style
that is ok but nobody would write it like that today. And it has not
been touched that much in the last years, probably because we also have
org-mode now (and the agenda views, which offer a super set of calendar
features). That means that the behavior is sometimes a bit more 70s
like than that of newer stuff.
I'm a fan of diary symbolic expressions. They allow you to specify
anything that Lisp allows, quite powerful. org-mode also supports using
them in time stamps or so.
Michael.
