With Yule right around the corner, I can't help but think that the current secular calendar is wrong. I've attempted to reconcile the calendar with astronomical markers. It's not perfect by any means but it feels better. Weeks and months are uneven since the earth's orbit is not a perfect circle; the sun is not even in the middle of earth's orbit. Weeks are roughly 7 days and months are roughly 30. A new week, month, and year begin at the winter solstice. Each subsequent quarter begins at the equinox or solstice and serves as anchors for the secular calendar.
Tell me what you think:
