Did you know ...

... In one year the moon circles the earth 13 times?
... In the current global standard calendar, a month doesn't correspond to one natural cycle?

... The word "calendar" comes from the Roman word, "Calends", which was the name of the account book, the book recording monthly debts and bills to be paid?
... Time isn't money?

... September means seven, but is the ninth month?
... March is named for Mars, the Roman God of War?
... July and August are named for Julius and Augustus Caesar?

If today is Monday, June 1st,

what day of the week will July 1st be?

.... and August 1st?

......... what about November 1st?

If you were to build a house, wouldn't you use a ruler of equal measure?

The current twelve month calendar is made of months of unequal measure:
31 days is followed by 28 or 29 days, then 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, 31 days, 30 days and 31 days.

Every moon of the 13 moon calendar is exactly 28 days. This type of calendar, a 28 day-calendar, was actively supported by the International Chamber of Commerce in 1931. The calendar change was supported by people such as Eastman Kodak and Mahatma Gandhi.

The 28-day calendar makes accounting easier and means that any day will fall on the same day of the week, year-after-year.

Notice all the combinations above equal 29. This is just a part of its elegant beauty.

Although the intents of calendar reform were well-intentioned in the early 1900's, the people of the time knew little of the mathematical accuracy of the 28-day calendar.

A 13 Moon/28-day calendar is not a new idea. The Druids kept a "tree" calendar, a count of 13 moons of 28 days each, plus one day. The Incans, Mayans, ancient Egyptians, Polynesians, and the Lakota peoples are used a 28-day count.

It is called a Moon Calendar because it is based on the female 28-day menstruation cycle, which is also the average lunar length.

The measure of the moon from new moon to new moon is called the synodic cycle and is 29.5 days in length. However the sidereal lunar cycle which measures the moon from where it reappears in the same place in the sky is only 27.1 days in length. So 28 days is the average lunar cycle.

Each year, the 13 Moon Calendar remains constant. The first moon, or New Year's day, always begins on July 26.

The synchronization or New Year's day corresponds to the rising of the great star Sirius. This makes the 13 Moon Calendar a tool for harmonizing ourselves with the galaxy.
