Actually, one of the features I missed from Planner mode is that planner would give you a couple of days notice when an entry was coming up in your diary.

I found that this could easily be emulated, (and it looks better and works nicer too) with a custom agenda command:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '(("f" "foo agenda"
          (agenda ""
                  ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Diary Next Week")
                   (org-agenda-ndays 7)          ; A weeks worth of lead time
                   (org-agenda-include-diary t)  ; I put all of my diary related stuff like Anniversaries in my diary \
                   (org-agenda-files nil)        ; you would need to change these if you use a file like Eiary.org
                   (org-agenda-show-all-dates nil) ; don't show days that have nothing
                   (org-agenda-use-time-grid nil))) ; don't show the timegrid for compactness.
             ...))))

Press M in the agenda, this is your fast route.

If you really want early and late warnings in the agenda display
itself, you would have to hack the function `diary-lunar-phases',
which is not too hard, I think.
