I don’t understand, the same ±1 day variation we have each year will stay the same? Do you mean the day of month? These are already spread out (20th, 21st, 22nd, and 21st, ±2).
So instead of the summer solstice being 21 June ±1, it will be month 6, day 4 ± 1 every year. (Assuming the year starts on what is now 1 Jan. (Spring is month 3 day 23, fall month 9, day 13, winter month 13 day 1).
Seasons are still 91.25 days, or ~13 weeks. That just now means 3 months one week instead of 3ish months.
The moon phase of 29.54 days won’t align, but it doesn’t now anyways. So instead of months with 2 moons, we’d get months with no moon. Might have to change “one in a blue moon” to “on a moonless occassion”. And imagine the killer party when day 0 or day 00 aligns with a full moon!
I shouldn’t have said tricky initially, I should have said annoying and clunky.
Make your year 12 metric weeks, and have the seasons start on the 1st of every third week. Way less clunky than the 1st of the 1st week, the second subweek of the third week, the third subweek of the 6th week, and 4th subweek of the 9th week.
