I have two I've been hoarding for a month or so, as I got them in quick succession. But I have no idea what to do with them, as a POSI with decent stats in the 130-140-some range. What should I save them for?

I've only ever drawn three of the things in two years of playing Fallen London. They have never seemed "common enough" to me.

They are *too* common as long as your don't want them. Then they turn into masters of the hiding game.

Unfortunately, at 130-140 stats there's not too much useful to do with moods, I think - since anything you could do with a mood then you might as well just do later when your stats are 160-170.
The main use of moods is once you're levelcapped, to deal with stat checks and requirements that are still difficult or impossible. Things like Courier's Footprint (requires watchful 300), Impossible Theorem (Broad watchful 500 challenge) Poet Laureate (290 persuasive), or raising renown (keeps increasing in stat requirements, getting to 50 requires stat 300 but that isn't a cap).
At lower levels, just use them when you've got a bunch of actions and want to do something that isn't easy at your level. Expeditions maybe? Affair of the Box - don't remember what the stat check for that is? One of the PoSI item carousels?
You can always just save them until you're levelcapped at 200 and are aiming for some late-game things like that, but that might be a long time to hold two cards.

If you have high renown with a faction (likely society) and the skill challenges are getting difficult/impossible to attempt, I keep a mood card around to pass that challenge... though it is an awful shame that I've only found one good use for it aside from trying to make an impossible theorum at the University.

The Impossible theorum at the University is both really, really hard, expensive, and lethal. Best use I can think of for a mood card.

You can also go for SotC 21 or build up a lot of Someone is Coming and use a Shadowy Mood for +.45 EPA.

Personally, the best use I've gotten from mood cards is to clog up my deck for months at a time before being accidentally discarded. The only actually productive thing I've done with them was Courier's Footprint, and even then it took me two of them because I ran out of actions like 2CP away from SotC 21 and then forgot all about it for an hour.
