[quote] At the moment we are in Vintagarious, the first month, and you will see that each day has the symbol for Aries. [/quote]
Then you have an error, because Vendemiaire doesn't roughly approximate Aries. Vendemiaire roughly approximates Libra. As for the nature of the French Republican Calendar's rough approximation of the ecliptic-months, due to its piling up its excess 5 or 6 says all at the end of the year, IL amply covered that in earlier posts. The Indian National Calendar does a much better job, when it gives 31 days to Taurus thru Virgo. The Indian National Calendar isn't a fixed calendar. No blank days & no periodic-error-increase due to a leapweek.
