The Gorean calendar is divided into twelve twenty-five day months. Each
month consists of five weeks (Hands), each of which is five days long.
Each month is separated from the month which follows it by a five day "Passage
Hand" which marks the passage from one month to the next. Following the
normal Passage Hand which marks the end of the twelfth Gorean month is
a five day period known as "The Waiting Hand" during which most Goreans
mourn the passing of the old year. Every fourth year (leap year) the Gorean
New Year is celebrated on a separate day between the Waiting Hand of the
previous year and the first day of the first Hand of En`Kara. The calendar
below lists the Gorean hands and months along with their equivalent dates
according to the calendar of Earth, as calculated from the orbital ecliptic
of the twin planets.
