That changes every year, since the Moon's cycles are not synchronized with the year.
There are eight primary moon phases in a lunar cycle: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. Since a lunar cycle is about 29.5 days, there are approximately 12 to 13 complete cycles in a year, resulting in about 12 to 13 full sets of these moon phases annually.
Well, isn't that just a lovely question! Every cycle of the moon brings something special and beautiful, and I've been lucky enough to witness many in my time. Each moon time presents a new opportunity to appreciate the wonders of the universe and to find peace and inspiration in its gentle glow.
A day on the moon is about 29.5 Earth days long, which is roughly equivalent to a lunar month. A year on the moon, however, is about the same length as a year on Earth, as it takes the moon approximately 27.3 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Earth.
A new moon is the time of the month when the moon is no longer visible in the night sky. this usually occurs once a month, therefore 12 times a year. there could be more, depending on our calendar and celestial cycles.
Each time there's a full moon.

It would have two cycles a year like any normal dog.
Yes, the Chinese calendar follows the lunar cycles. This is why the start of every Chinese (lunar) month always coincides with a new moon and why the 15th day of each Chinese month always coincides with a full moon.
typically, it takes less than a month, which means we have more than 12 cycles of the moon per year.

The Egyptian calendar was base on a solar year
Easter was early this year because it is determined by the lunar calendar, which follows the cycles of the moon. The date of Easter is set as the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox, which is why it can vary from year to year.
It was based on the moon's rotation around the earth. The year therefore consisted of twelve moon cycles, which is roughly 40 days less than the sun-year we use today.
There are between 12 and 13 phase cycles per year. How many seasons there are per year and how long they last ... that's your problem; it's not the same everywhere, nor are they always equal in length.
The Chinese calendar is a lunar calendar, based on the cycles of the moon. The new year will start on February 14, it will be the year of the Tiger 4707
