There are sixteen months made of up eight "moons" and eight "half-moons." | There are sixteen months made of up eight "moons" and eight "half-moons." Each long month begins at a zodiac point. The solstices and equinoxes also occur at zodiac points, and fall on the first day of the month. The cross-quarters (the mid-points between the solstices and equinoxes) fall at the middle point (15°) of their respective zodiac signs, which is also the first day of their months. The month names are traditionally Germanic, though the cross-quarters are named for the following season of which they are the mid-point. | ||
