An unnamed '''{{w|lunisolar calendar}}''' was created in 2019 by {{tok|[[jan Kala]]}}.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20191125115251/https://www.reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/dr378j/lunisolar_calendar_for_toki_pona_done/</ref> It is designed to be tied to specific and observable cycles, specifically the {{w|season}}s and the {{w|phases of the moon}}. Notably, this [[calendar system]] discourages the use of fixed compounds, and users are encouraged to use whatever words they deem appropriate for describing the seasons and moon phases. ({{tok|jan Kala}} used specific compounds in their original post, and for the purposes of this article the same compounds shall be used.) |

The epoch is the first new moon after the spring equinox of 2001, [[History|the year |
The {{w|epoch}} is the first {{w|new moon}} after the spring equinox of 2001, [[History|the year Toki Pona was initially published]]. Each year begins on or near the spring equinox. There are twelve months in a year, alternating between 29 and 30 days long. In a four-season climate, these months may be called {{tp|[[mun]] [[open]] [[pi]] [[tenpo]] [[kasi]]}}, {{tp|mun [[awen]] pi tenpo kasi}}, {{tp|mun [[pini]] pi tenpo kasi}}, {{tp|mun open pi tenpo [[seli]]}}, {{tp|mun awen pi tenpo seli}}, {{tp|mun pini pi tenpo seli}}, {{tp|mun open pi tenpo [[pan]]}}, {{tp|mun awen pi tenpo pan}}, {{tp|mun pini pi tenpo pan}}, {{tp|mun open pi tenpo [[lete]]}}, {{tp|mun awen pi tenpo lete}}, and {{tp|mun pini pi tenpo lete}}. An {{w|intercalary month}} ({{tp|mun [[namako]]}}), lasting 30 days, is added every second, fifth, and seventh year in an eight-year cycle. |

Days of the month correspond to phases of the moon. Each month begins with a new moon ({{tp|mun len}}), then progresses to the waxing crescent ({{tp|mun lili kama}}), then the first quarter ({{tp|mun kipisi open}}), then the waxing gibbous ({{tp|mun suli kama}}), then the full moon ({{tp|mun suli}}), then the waning gibbous ({{tp|mun suli tawa}}), then the last quarter ({{tp|mun kipisi pini}}), then the waning crescent ({{tp|mun lili tawa}}).

Days of the month correspond to phases of the moon. Each month begins with a new moon ({{tp|mun [[len]]}}), then progresses to the {{w|waxing crescent}} ({{tp|mun [[lili]] [[kama]]}}), then the {{w|First quarter moon|first quarter}} ({{tp|mun [[kipisi]] open}}), then the {{w|waxing gibbous}} ({{tp|mun [[suli]] kama}}), then the {{w|full moon}} ({{tp|mun suli}}), then the {{w|waning gibbous}} ({{tp|mun suli [[tawa]]}}), then the {{w|Last quarter moon|last quarter}} ({{tp|mun kipisi pini}}), then the {{w|waning crescent}} ({{tp|mun lili tawa}}). These create periods of 3–5 days, and if more precision is required, the days of each phase may be numbered (e.g. {{tp|mun lili kama [[nanpa]] [[wan]]}}, {{tp|mun lili kama nanpa [[tu]]}}…). Each day begins when the sun sets. The new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter may be used to split the month up into weeks if so desired. |
