The year begins on the Winter Solstice. The year is divided into 5 seasons of 73 days. There are 9 days in a week, named after the nine planets in our Solar System (Pluto is included)

Benefits of the calendar, as highlighted by the website:
The day number each of the equinoxes and solstices lands on the calendar in relation to the length of the month is similar to the percentage of the year completed up to that point.
For instance, the Summer Solstice, marking the middle of the year, is also in the middle of the month Summer.
Season | % of year complete | % of month complete |
Spring | 25% | 17/73 = 23.2% |
Summer | 50% | 37/73 = 50.06% |
Autumn | 75% | 57/73 = 78.1% |
Winter | 100% | 73/73 = 100% |
