The name of the sixth month of the civil year and the twelfth month of the ecclesiastical year is Adar, which apparently means only Adar. On the first day of Adar, people were reminded to prepare to pay their temple offering. Adar corresponds in Jewish astrology to דגים (dagim, meaning “fish”) and to Pisces, whose nature is water. In 2026, 18 February is 1 Adar 5786. Other years are different. (Not to be confused with the leap month named Adar, which happens either after or before Adar.)
