My Gregorian-calendar birthday, May 4th, is coming up on Saturday.  
My Hebrew-calendar birthday, Nissan 29, is coming up on… also Saturday.

I don’t know how frequently the dates intersect like that, but the cycle linking the lunar and solar calendars takes nineteen years, so I’m guessing it’s not too often.
