Am I correct or not?

On which I walked on that fateful day, the moon is shining.

I don't really understand your dependent clause. Ironically, your "Depending on..." sentence is just fine.
The picnic was called off because of the weather forecast. Because of the weather forecast, the picnic was called of.
I'll go if you ask me. If you ask me, I will go.
Those are examples of using the comma as you describe.

Are you Neil Armstrong?
No, that doesn't work. "on which I walked that fateful day" says which moon.
Use that dependent, independent structure for clauses that start with if, because, although, etc.
