The solar year does not have a whole number of lunar months (it is about 365/29.5 = 12.37 lunations), so a lunisolar calendar must have a variable number of months per year. Regular years have 12 months, but embolismic years insert a 13th "intercalary" or "leap" month or "embolismic" month every second or third year.

The golden number, as ...
Within these tables, January 1 is always the first day of the year. The Gregorian calendar did not exist before October 15, 1582. Gregorian dates before that are proleptic , that is, using the Gregorian rules to reckon backward from October 15, 1582.
