Our calanders are based on the time taken for the earth to orbit the sun (1 year) and the time taken for the earth to spin once on it's axis (1 day). The phases of the moon, or the moon orbiting the earth, doesn't really come into it, but it takes around 29 days for the moon to orbit us.

Does the luni solar calendar directly relate with the moon and the sun?
A purely solar calendar, such as the Gregorian calendar that is commonly used, has no connection to the cycles of the Moon, and is tied strictly to the solar year. Months are pretty much arbitrary. In a lunar calendar, the month always begins at the new moon, and dates always occur on the same phase of the Moon. A purely lunar calendar (such as the Islamic calendar) does not synchronize with the solar year at all. A luni-solar calendar such as the Hebrew calendar is primarily tied to the Moon, but also adds "leap months" periodically to maintain a rough match with the solar year.
