For a relatively easy way to work this out on your own, get a listing of the dates of the new moons for the year you are interested in. By our system, the following years have a full lunation for Beth: 2001, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2015, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2025, 2028. If you are in one of these years, Beth begins on the new moon following the Winter Solstice, and the months follow in sequence from there. If you are not in one of those years, Beth is shortened to share a lunation with Ruis: The first day of Beth is the day after the Winter Solstice, regardless of where in the moon phase you are. After that,
