That's an interesting idea. So we have the autumn equinox on September 22 instead?

I haven't looked into how the calendar lines up with astronomical phenomena, so I can't comment on the validity of your modification, but it's worth looking into... I like it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

no autumn equinox on sep 22 - needs more work
the old wheel used the moon and 8, this one is apparently based on earth and uses 7?
it is all very new and confusing
