... The equinoxes will only give you the count of half a year and not a year as per 17:12.
In years where you get 13 full-moons between summer solstices, you simply ignore the 13th moon and skip counting it and count only 12 as per 9:36. This realigns the year so that the first full-moon is always the one after the summer solstice.
Peace and best regards,
Ayman
What realigns the
year is not
full moons but man's choice of the day when the year should start.
For example the Christians who drew up their calendar have chosen Jesus Christ's birthday,
so muslims may choose the day when Prophet Muhammed migrated from Medina.
This is none of the business of the full moons because the year is not made up of full moons but months.
Full moons and months are different things.
The following are not months;
they are each a 12/13-full moon series between summer solstices:
--------1----------2-----3-------4-------5-------6-------7------8------9------10------11-----12-----13---

The 13th full moon of June 17, 2019 takes place in the series before summer solstice 2019
because it rises BEFORE summer solstice 2019.
The 12th full moon of June 05, 2020 takes place in the series before summer solstice 2020
because it rises BEFORE summer solstice 2020.
God has decided their place, so they stay where they are;
all which man has to do is abide by God's decision.
Man has no power, anyways, to
postpone a full moon;
neither does he have any power to
skip counting it.
Each full moon stays in the series where it belongs to and man lives it during its due time.
The number of full moons in series A is 13,
and the number of full moon in series B is 12;
This is God's truth, and man will acept it.
