A lunar day is 27.3 days and a solar cycle is 29 and change. So we'd be just off the lunar cycles. Like when you're sitting waiting for a turn lane signal to change and the person in front of you has a blinker that's just a tiny bit slower than yours.

Eventually, things settle at almost perfect ratios. Everything between creates some kind of friction.

So what I'm getting from this is that we need to push the Moon a bit further from the Earth, and pull the Earth a bit closer to the Sun.
