Calculate the lunar day, the special computer program. Because the changes from daylight occur at the level of the calculation days, the program will need to specify not only the date but also the time and also the geographical coordinates. This is especially important if you are building a lunar horoscope by time of birth. The system will give you data not only about the moon day, but the closest to the date of the new moon and the full moon, and the rising and setting of the moon in a particular period.

Find out day of the moon alone. The lunar cycle begins with the new moon, which you can fix yourself, and lasts for about 29 days. Thus, the fifth day after the new moon and will be the fifth day of the lunar cycle. But this calculation does not take into account that one day in the Gregorian calendar can fall on a two moon day. You can fix this, if you count the new day with the rising of the moon.

Note that the start date is in the lunar calendars. For example, in 2012 the Chinese year begins on 23 January in the Gregorian calendar.
