Each month is exactly 28 days grouped into four 7-day weeks. The days are not number-dated. This is because the months are evenly divided and the dates would never change. Therefore, the days are differentiated by calling them the "2nd Sunday of (MonthName)", the "4th Watersday of Plantings", etcetera.

Each year is composed of twelve months and four 7-day Festival weeks.

Measurement of Time:
The days are divided into 24 hours, with 8 phases of the day according to the position of the Sun (Sol) or the Moon (Orbis)in the sky. Each Phase of day is divided by three hours.

Phases;
PRE-DAWN (The 1st/8th of the DAY)
MORNING (The 2nd/8ths (or "START") of the DAY)
MID-MORNING (The 3rd/8ths of the DAY)
NOON (The 4th/8ths of the DAY)
AFTERNOON (The 5th/8ths of the DAY)
