For details on how I reconstruct my calendar, see my page on the Anglo-Saxon Calendar. I will add a couple notes here, however.
This year only has twelve new moons between the previous December solstice and this year’s December solstice. Therefore, it will not be a leap year, and only have twelve lunar months. If you go by the Metonic Cycle, this year is year four of the Cycle. Leap years fall on years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19.
Each month begins on the young moon, when the first sliver of the moon is visible after the new moon. I estimate this for my calendar by adding 36 hours to the new moon’s time.

For clarification, when you say a month starts on a date, do you mean it starts at sunset on that date, or that the date is the first day of that month and started on the prior sunset?

It starts the night before, since the ‘day’ starts at sunset.

Interesting, although you understand there was no consensus amongst the different Germanic groups in Britain. They differed from each other as well as absorbing the native Brythonic customs.

There are probably many things that there was no consensus about among the Anglo-Saxon tribes. But since Bede’s calendar is the only attested calendar we have with no known competing model, I don’t really think we can really say with any kind of certainty that the calendar was one of the things in which there was no consensus.
