1 = 1
The Babylonian Great Year ... also known as the Metonic cycle; a lunisolar calendar of approximately 19 years after which the lunar phases recur at the same time of the year.
So if there's a Full Moon, or perhaps an eclipse, at a certain time of the year, you can know that there will also be one on just about the exact same day 19 years later.
This reflects the cycle of the lunar nodes which return to the same sign every 19 years and indicate when eclipses happen.
The Babylonian Great Year consists of 12 years of 12 months and 7 years of 13 months.
19 years = 1
6,940 days = 1
= 1 cycle
The inner wheel marks off each of the 19 years while the outer wheel displays the number of months in each year. The black and white sections in the outer wheel show the years with 13 months (13 stripes), while the rainbow sections show the years with 12 months (2 rainbows per year). The 3 dots mark the 3rd year in the the Babylonian Great Year (moving clockwise).
