The autumn months of the french Republican Calendar !

Vendémiaire, the Month of Wine Harvests ; Brumaire, the Month of Mists ; Frimaire, the Month of Frost. If you’re a libra, Scorpio, or Sagittarius, you can check what a match for your birthday could be ! (The Calendar I’m making is perpetual, so I’ve taken liberties on matching the dates to those of our gregorian calendar, but depending on years and calculations the date correspondance would normally differ on a possible range of three days. The date range at the top of each page is the possible range of each month in the Gregorian calendar.)
