There are 12, one for each lunar month. When there’s a 13th moon (it happens every few years because the lunar month has ~30 days, hence a lunar year is ~360 days), the second moon in a calendar month is called a blue moon. It gets a little trickier because in some years there are Februaries without moon and I think there can be 2 calendar months with 2 moons.
