Lunisolar Truth
The purpose of tracking the sun is to know where the first visible crescent will appear. Through the year the sun rises and sets in differing locations. If the northern most and southern most positions of sunrise and sunset are marked, one will know where to look for the first visible crescent for each lunation throughout the year. The study of the wonderful calendar/clock that Yahuwah made at creation is a beautiful science.
The sun was made to mark the years and the days. The moon was to show the smaller divisions of the lunations (months) and weeks. Both work together in an orchestrated harmony to reveal the true Sabbath.
There are four points in time throughout the solar year when lunations may be adjusted to keep the seasons in their respective locations: Spring equinox, Summer solstice, Fall equinox and Winter solstice. The two solstices mark the furthest positions of the sun, both north and south. The Summer solstice (June 21) is the longest day of the year with the shortest night. The Winter solstice (December 21) is the shortest day of the year and has the longest night. The equinoxes (March 21 and September 21) mark the mid-point when day and night are equal in length.
The following diagram charts the pathway of the sun and moon at equinox and solstices.
Due to the tilt of the earth, the moon rise and set locations may be slightly further north and south than the furthest extremes of the sun’s rise and set points. However, marking the sun gives an approximate location for sighting the crescent moon from one’s own geographical location.
Following is a graphic showing a sun circle. Notice that in the Northern Hemisphere, during the summer the sun rises and sets in the northern sky. In winter, the sun rises and sets in the southern sky. The Southern Hemisphere is opposite. The outer stones are placed in position by sighting past the large center stone. The smaller inner stones are placed by the shadow cast by the larger outer stone at the highest point of the sun on the specific days: equinox or solstices.
A sun circle is a relatively easy-to-make structure. It does not need to be large or complicated. Any location with reasonably visible east and west horizons may be used. If you cannot place stones, notice markers already in place: fence posts, swing sets, trees at a distance, etc. With a written record, the approximate location for sighting the next visible crescent moon may be known.
An example of an ancient sun circle is Stonehenge in

Response to samuel khan Written by Fred Myers, August 18, 2010
We have come to learn that our Creator’s true Sabbaths rarely fall on SATYRday or SUNday and cannot be located using the pagan Gregorian calendar but only by using His true Luni-solar calendar. We have also seen that His specially appointed feast days and Sabbaths are to be perpetually observed – at least until heaven and earth pass away – and even beyond into eternity, when the New Moons and Sabbaths will continue with HIM in New Jerusalem - (Isaiah 66:22,23)
To make it as short as possible, here is a brief summary followed by much more details for expansion and study in our many presentations. Question. How do I find the true Sabbaths using the Luni-solar Calendar? Answer. When the first sliver of the new moon is seen in the western sky just after sunset, we know that the following day is the first day of the brand new MONTH or New Moon Day, which itself is a different category of Sabbath for our celebration. This 1st day (New Moon Sabbath) is NOT COUNTED as the first day of the first WEEK. We then count 6 working days, the last of which is ‘preparation day’, followed by the 7th day Sabbaths falling on the 8th, 15th, 22nd,and 29th. The one or two days, marked by the dark phase of the moon at the end of each month, are ‘Non Days’ which are NOT COUNTED. Once you know which day is New Moon day, you can mark it on the Gregorian Calendar, then mark off the following 4 Sabbaths. So if New Moon day is a Tuesday, you mark the next 4 Tuesdays as weekly Sabbaths. The next brand new month of the Luni-solar Calendar is then identified using the above method all over again, beginning with the next first sliver which will then be seen just after sunset on the 29th or the 30th of the Luni-solar Calendar. There can be 2 (but never 3) consecutive months of either 29 or 30 days. Each Luni-solar Month is brand new, with brand new weeks and brand new days - showing dependence upon our Creator Who will eventually make all things brand new! In order not to get confused, we must break away from the old idea of the enemy's Gregorian calendar with its endless cycle of unbroken weeks with pagan named days. To help you practice, go to WLC Home page > Resources > Printable Luni-solar Calendar and sign up at - http://www.crescentmoonwatch.org/nextnewmoon.htm That way you can look for the new moon yourself and report it to them each month.

It might all appear confusing at first but with a little practice it will all become like clockwork. Any decision we take to walk in truth will bring discomfort and possible dislocation in many areas of life, in a hostile world bent on moving in the opposite direction. Maybe even more so is to walk on the pathway of Creator's true Luni-solar Calendar. It can be a very lonely road, but by faith we must hold to His promise never to leave nor forsake us!

To brother Samuel Bhagyaraj Written by Matthias Michel, January 16, 2010
Hi brother Samuel,
please do not be offended, but I find your challenge very funny. I do not have to prove that our Saviour was crucified in 31 A.D. There is enough evidence that the weeks, sabbaths and months are determined by the moon. The moon was even created for our holy convocations (Psalm 104:19). So I do not have to prove any crucifiction date to prove the luni-solar calendar of our Creator. However, if you claim that you are following the bible and the bible ALONE, than you have to prove (at least for yourself) ONLY from the Word of Yahuwah that the saturday is the biblical sabbath. You cannot do this, can you? That is why you are hiding behind the bush and want to discuss the crucifiction year instead. I am very interested to see your prove from scripture ALONE that the day of saturn is the biblical sabbath. If you share your prove with me is 100% your choice. May Yahuwah bless you, Matthias

to bro.Matthias Michel... Written by Samuel Bhagyaraj Jer 33:3;Isa 65:24, January 15, 2010
Don't you have STARS IN GEN 1:14-16 ??
 why don't you make use of them to keep your Sabbath?? using the same conditions you mentioned, show me that Jesus was crucified in 31 AD... you are saying that in your country, Sunday is the 7th day, but the Moon too doesn't follow a regular pattern in all the countries... note this thing...

Astronomy is not the same as astrology Written by Matthias Michel, January 11, 2010
Please read what Yahushua said about following the traditions of men.
Can you please tell me how you find the 7th day sabbath by ONLY using the Word of Yahuwah without observing sun and moon (read Gen_1:14-16, Ps_104:19, Ps_81:3). Remember, you are only allowed to use the bible, no dictionary or anything created only by men. By the way in the country where I live the 7th day is sunday.
