An objective reckoning for the Biblical calendar -updated
From 8/6/2011 this is my 'best guess' reckoning for the moons of the year. Please feel free to tear shreds off it, with evidence of course ;)
Background assumptions
This proposed calendar reckoning assumes that YHWH's new moons and moedim are based on objective and not subjective realities, depending not on observation of barley or the zodiac or the esoteric rulings of man or imprecise calculation systems, but on precise astronomical realities; (which may have been revealed to prophet or priest, but are not dependent on revelation or on observation and/or calculation and/or man's decree, but on…) objective reality. Observation, calculation and/or decree are accurate only to the extent that they reflect the precise astronomical realities... and revelation from YHWH would always be accurate, of course! -whensoever He did indeed answer.
This reckoning is based totally on the relative positions of sun, moon and earth.
It is beautifully simple, but I'll try not to fall too in love with it ;)
1. The Full Moon Night occurs between the 14th day and the 15th day of each month.
[By 'Full Moon Night' I mean the night in Jerusalem (whose solar midnight moment is) closest to the Astronomical Full Moon moment. Solar midnight data can be found here, and full moon times can be found here.]
2. The first Full Moon Night after the Spring Equinox Day belongs to the 1st month of a year.
[By 'Spring Equinox Day' I mean the daytime in Jerusalem (whose solar noon moment is) closest to the (northward)spring equinox. The (northward)spring equinox times can be found here under 'March Equinox', and solar noon times can be found here.]
3. There is no third rule.

Lily Portion for Today: Monday January 15
Mothers! Your children can accept whatever Elohiym has brought about in their lives without really knowing how it works.; in fact, they will certainly not know how it works until they have accepted it. (Prayer: Adonai Elohiym, we all know that we will never have all the answers, but we realise that we can hold onto You and that Your love for us will never fail, amein)

These 3 verses are so important to me that I even made a bookmark of it: https://social.ttn.place/post/....35045_bookmark-num-6
