[lojban-beginners] Re: Dates

I did some research.  I thought there were 13 sun
signs.  Turns out, there are actually only 12.  I
thought there were 13 because there are 13 lunar
months in a solar year.  A lunar month is roughly 28
days.  A solar year is roughly 365.  This gives you 13
lunar months (roughly).  I thought that was the basis
for building the Zodiac.  That was the basis for
building the Tarot, and thus our poker deck.

I did some more research.  Seems the 12 sun signs were
made by dividing the sky into 30 degree houses for the
signs.

Sorry for the confusion, I was wrong.  In which case,
feel free to name the months after the signs of the
Zodiac.  Now I must warn you that the calendar has not
been corrected for "drift" in a very long time. 
That's why the solar new year, Yule (a new year's
celebration), and January 1, do not coincide.

I never got an answer as to how I should put the
weekday in the same statment as the date.
