Aquarian Calendar - Clock

Jump to: navigation, search

The Aquarian calendar-clock is a round symbolic, spiritual and scientific calendar that officially starts on the winter Solstice of December 21st, 2012 when the Mayan Calendar known as the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar ends..It is integrated into the design of The Celestial Center of Time and is a spiritual mind map for personal manifestation and alignment with the light of the Sun and Solar energy Consciousness. It isn'tt ment to replace the Gregorian calendar as a business and economic calendar. It will officially mark the beginning of the Age of Aquarius due to the movement of the Earths pole known as the precession of the equinoxes into the sign of Aquarius(although the exact date can not be pinpointed). The Aquarian celebrates the natural Holidays of the Solstices and Equinoxes and is designed based on the compass and sun cycle by solar engineer - artist Kelly Sabota- O'Donnell. It can also be displayed in a square form.

[edit] Description

The Aquarian calendar is a solar arithmetical calendar. It counts days as the basic unit of time, grouping them into years of 365 or 366 days; and repeats completely every 146,097 days, which fill 400 years. Of these 400 years, 303 (the "common years") have 365 days, and 97 (the leap years) have 366 days. This gives an average year length of exactly 365.2425 days, or 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds.

An Aquarian year is divided into twelve months of thirty days length each, extra days added quarterly for the Solstices and Equinoxes as Holidays outside of the weekday designation. An extra day is also added at the start of the cycle and the intercalary day in a leap year is known as a leap day has been moved from February 28 to the first weekend after the Summer Solstice.

[edit] Aquarian reform

Aquarian Calendar reform is designed to make the calendar more logical, motivational and in harmony with the natural rhythms of the growing cycle, light cycle and life cycle. The redesign of the Gregorian Calendar into the Aquarian Calendar is integrates the archaeoastronomy of pre-christian Newgrange, mithraeums, standing stones of Stonehenge and medicine wheels. The combining of the Aquarian Calendar - Clock with architecture is the blue print for the 3D virtual Crystal Dome.

The Aquarian calendar reforms are as follows:

The Aquarian Calendar introduces logic and rhythm because it starts the day after the Northern Hemispheres Winter Solstice. This is equivalent to midnight on a Day cycle.
Each month is the same length and starts and ends on the same day.
The calendar is perpetual and is the same every year so there is no need to buy another calendar every year.
Solstices and Equinoxes are set apart as natural, organic, celestial quarterly Holidays outside of the regular week. Although the Solstices and equinoxes are not exactly 90 days apart, they will still fall next to or on the week-end and provide time off of work to celebrate the Quartly Holiday.

The Aquarian Calendar offers itself as an inspirational tool. Months are renamed according to their position in the growing cycle, light cycle and life cycle.

The Aquarian Calendar months 1-12 makes a visible relationship to the Clock face hours 1-12 and to the minutes 10-120mins.. This is because the clock is reformed to have 12 hours of 120 minutes each and goes around the clock face once per day. This reveals the nested, fractal like relationship of the month to the day to the year because 1 has a relationship to 10min, 2-20min, 3-30min 4-40min, 5-50min 6-60min 7-70min 8-80min 9-90, 10-100, 11-110, 12-120.

The Aquarian Calendar also makes a visible relationship of the clock face to the path of the Sun. This is because the hands of the clock only go around the clock face one time. Therefore when the sun rises and sun sets for the Solstices and Equinoxes are marked on the outside circle of the clock face it also shows how the increase light pattern of the movement of the sun relate to the the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer. This design allows the meridian of the perpendicular sunlight to center and align with the 6 as the central axis rather than the repeating 12 on the 24 hour clock. Aquarian Calendar relates the every 30 degree local longnitude line to a time zone change and equates it to the meridian dividing Am and Pm.

[edit] History and Adoption

The Aquarian Calendar was inspired by an acrylic painting called cosmic mystery which was based on the Color Wheel integrated with the compass and the four directions.. Eventually this painting was revised into digital graphics which then went through several improvements to integrate religious symbolism and other circle related information.

In 2002, the associated computer graphic images were supported through magazine articles, workshops and presentations.. The adoption of the Aquarian Calendar as a mental mind map of higher consciousness to re-establish the Solistices and Equinoxes as natural, organic, celestial holidays started on the internet through the Conscious Revolution web page for The Sun Tribe newsletter and in social networking sites such as myspace (The Sun Tribe 2007) and the facebook group (The Aquarian Calendar2008). In Oct., 2009 youtube videos were developed to explain the image as a self help spritual teaching tool to connect with the natural cycle.

[edit] Difference between Gregorian and Aquarian calendar dates

Because of the ever shifting un rhythmic dates of the Gregorian Calendar, the easiest way to convert to the Aquarian Calendar date is to use a simple computer program that converts it based on the date of the winter Solstice date on the Gregorian Calendar. If the Gregorian Calendar had never existed, the Winter Solstice of the Sun would always act as the natural beginning and resetting every year..

[edit] Beginning of the year

The Aquarian calendar does not base the beginning of the year on any information that comes from past rulers or historical writings of man and instead bases the beginning of the year on the divine design as correlates with the compass and the daily cycle of light beginning on Midnight, which then agrees with the Winter Solstice as being the true beginning of the new year and the return of the light and beginning of the growing cycle.

[edit] Months of the year

An Aquarian year is divided into twelve months of thirty days length, with an extra days added for the Solstices and Equinoxes as Holidays outside of the week.

No.	Gregorian Name	Days	Aquarian Name	Days
1.	January	31	Vision	30
2.	February	28or29	Plan	30
3.	March	31	Action	30 + Spring Equinox Holiday
4.	April	30	Hope	30
5.	May	31	Manifest	30

9.	September	30	Harvest	30 + Fall Equinox
10.	October	31	Reflect	30
11.	November	30	Preserve	30
12.	December	31	Wisdom	30 + New Years Eve and (Winter Solstice/New Years Day)Holidays

Leap years add a 32nd day to Nurture, which normally has 30 days and the 1 Solstice Holiday.

The intercalary day in a leap year is known as a leap day has been moved from February 28 to the day after the Summer Solstice which is Nurture 32nd.

The Aquarian Calendar doe not connect the names of the months to dead rulers, specific gods of one culture or simple numbers. Instead the names of the months are named so that they form a progression by leading one on a round journey of personal transformation that also connects to the growing cycle and light cycle.

[edit] Week

The Aquarian Calendar week has a 6 day week cycle/ and is designed based on the 6 main colors of the light of the rainbow which can be drawn into a symbol of the three primary colors of Blue, Yellow, and Red with it's secondary colors of Green, Orange and Purple. This six sided shape is similar to the Star of David and Seal of Solomon. The names of the days are also named based on the Colors, beginning with Purpleday, Blueday, Greenday, Yellowday, Orangeday, Redday. Each month has 5 weeks of 6 days which form an even, predictable 30 day month which creates a rhythm that is easy to mentally align with.

[edit] Distribution of dates by day of the week

The Aquarian Calendar is the same every year and adjusts for the leap years the same as the Gregorian Calendar except the Leap day is placed the day after the Summer Solstice.

[edit] Accuracy

The Aquarian Calendar is as accurate as the Gregorian Calendar because it has evolved from the Gregorian Calendar. The Aquarian Calendar is an improvement because it has a predictable month length and recognizes the Solstices and Equinoxes as natural holidays and integrates with the clock face to align with the Sun.
