it never was to be counted as one, and after the beginning or New moon, the first workday begins, and the seventh day will always be the eighth day. Just like in Isa 66:23 “from one Sabbath to another” that is eight days with six work days in between , same as from New Moon to Sabbath is the eight day, but is the seventh day after six work days, and the eight counting from the dark moon.
If you cannot accept this line of reasoning then let us look at one you might accept and that is if the sun and moon were created on the fourth workday, and that is when He established His calendar for days, and years, and for signs, and seasons. Would not it make sense for the heavenly calendar to reflect the previous three or four days? Example : the sun would reflect a forth work day of the year (from the Equinox) so the 1st creation year would have three hundred, and sixty five, and a quarter days in it the same as all the other years in the scripture instead of the 1st year having only three hundred, and sixty one days, or three hundred and sixty nine.
The sun would be in a forth work day position in the sky. The same with the moon especially if it was to be for appointments, as the word seasons suggests. It would reflect a forth work day moon, between a sliver and a half moon the same as in all the other moons that can be pinpointed in scripture.

Nowhere in the scriptures does it say YHWH created the Heavens and the Earth in six days. It does say for in six days YHWH made Heaven and Earth. The word made means advanced, not created. He worked, or advanced upon His creation for six days, and rested the seventh, which would be the eight from the creation, or dark moon.
For those who believe the Sun and moon was created on day four, here is something to consider. The word appointed in Psm- 104:19 “He appointed (or made) the moon for seasons (Feasts or Sabbaths) is the same word found in Gen. 1:14. where it says “ He made two great lights” When did He appoint the moon for Seasons? When you make someone captain of a team, or appoint them, it don’t mean they were not already there.
Remember you had evening and morning, evening and morning, evening and morning, before day four. You also had light, green things, night and day, creation of the Heavens, etc before He appointed the sun and moon for the calendar. Where do you think they were before He appointed them? In the Tanach, Stone edition, commentary by a well known Hebrew named Rashi comments on Gen-1:14 by saying “ The luminaries, which had been created on the first day, were set in place on the forth” there is no evidence what so ever to support the theory that the great lights were created on day four, but were appointed, or advanced upon for His calendar.
