The mean number of days per month in the 30-year cycle is 29.53056 days, or 29d 12h 44m. Six months of 29 days and six with 30 days, plus 11 days of the leap years. (29 days × 6 months + 30 days × 6 months) × 30 years + 11 leap days = 10,631 days and 10,631 / 360 = 29.53056 (360 is number of months in 30 years).
