Maramataka

The Maramataka is a  a lunar calendar. It is a calendar based on the monthly cycles of the moon's phases, in contrast to solar calendars, whose annual cycles are based only directly on the solar year. The calendar is so helpful it tells you if it is good to go fishing, planting, going out or staying in.
