Note that the symbol at the bottom right resembles the Synaptic Calendar‘s structure, and in the above example, represents the point of the Full Moon, when Earth stands fully between her and the Sun.

Calendar Reform: New Synaptic month

Month of Sagittarius

Today marks a new 28-day month on the reform Synaptic Calendar, the month of Sagittarius, and with this new month the attachment of Synaptic Calendar dates as a footer to all posts. These may be adjusted for accuracy as the system develops.

Today’s Synaptic Date:
(d/m/y/20)

Sunday 0.9.(7).(0)
the 1st day of the 10th month, Sagittarius.

*Day 0 is always a Sunday.
*Year (6) represents 6 years prior to the inception
* The (0) to the right of the year represents the 20-year period in which the day takes place. Again, it is counting down to the inception date of 0.0.0.0.

–Synaptic Date (d/m/y/20) — Sunday 0.9.(7).(0)

260-Day Calendar

Calendar Reform: 365- & 260-day patterns.

see gestation, time and health – updates pend!
tzolkin basics
mayan sacred calendar

260 days divide into:
13 x 20-day progression of symbolic Glyphs
20 x 13-day Fortnights
5 x 52-day Decks*
4 x 65-day Quarters**

(also 10 x 26 and 2 x 130)

*1 Deck = 52 Days = 4 x 13-day Fortnights
**1 Quarter = 65 Days = 5 x 13-Day Fortnights

Measuring the Leap Year Day by 260-days

given the ratio of Earth’s rotation about her axis to her orbit around the Sun (measured as the Tropical Year) as:
365.2421896698

Observing a Leap Year Day every 1058th-Day would measure the year as:
365.2422031

an intercalary Null Leap Year Day every 29 decks, or every 1508th day is a Null day.
The intercalary Leap Year Day is also observed on the 365-Day Calendar as a Null Day which falls between two consecutive weekdays.

A Null day counts as 1 day on the chronological count. It does not have a weekday, month or year number and falls between two consecutive days, whether measured by number or other symbol.

1508 days

= 29 decks
= 5 x 260 + 4 decks

= 53 months + 20 days
= 4 x 365 + 48 days

Recommendation: people born on a Null day may designate either the day before or the day after the Null day as their birthday, or they may choose to accept the Abyss, and celebrate their birthday on the Winter Solstice and every 29 Decks on the Null Day.

13-Months and 13-Score days.

The 260-day calendar’s progression of 20 glyphs provides a progressive pattern noticeable on the 365-Day calendar. It is precisely this interaction which tightens the weave of this system as a measure of a progressive measure of time.

First, each day is assigned a number, beginning with 1 through 13, then beginning again and repeating the progression.

Second, each days is also assigned a glyph, or symbol, according to a particular progression. There are several variations of these symbols and their order and attributation. Read from top-to-bottom, left-to-right beginning with Imix, then Ik, Akbal, Kan, Chicchan, Cimi, and so on.

Imix Dragon	Cimi Death	Chuwen Monkey	Cib Vulture
Ik Wind	Manik Deer	Eb Human	Caban Earth
Akbal Abyss	Lamat Rabbit	Ben Reed	Etznab Mirror
Kan Corn	Muluc Moon	Ix Jaguar	Cauac Storm
Chicchan Serpent	Ok Dog	Men Eagle	Ahau Sun

In the table above, the columns designate the chronological progression, and, the rows in the table above designate 5 Sub-Groups of 4 Glyphs each.

Third, the Leap Year Day must be observed off the calendar. Traditionally observed February 29th, it would be observed between February 28th and March 1st without a month or number assigned to it in order to allow the following progression of days to occur.

For the sake of example, say the first day of the 260-Day calendar, 1-Imix, falls on June 21 2000.

The two would coincide chronologically as follows:

June 21 2000 = 1-Imix
June 22 2000 = 2-Ik
June 23 2000 = 3-Akbal
June 24 2000 = 4-Kan
June 25 2000 = 5-Chicchan
etc…

Given the first 5-glyph group as cited above, Imix – Cimi – Chuwen – Cib, and observing the same day from year to year, the two would coincide as follows:

June 21 2000 = 1-Imix
June 21 2001 = 2-Cimi
June 21 2002 = 3-Chuwen
June 21 2003 = 4-Cib
June 21 2004 = 5-Imix
June 21 2005 = 6-Cimi
etc…

then June 22 coincides with Ik – Manik – Eb – Caban, as:

June 22 2000 = 2-Ik
June 22 2001 = 3-Manik
June 22 2002 = 4-Eb
June 22 2003 = 5-Caban
etc…

Thus, any given day on a 365-day calendar will also have a 13-number and 4- glyph progression to mark the years.

Each day develops meaning from year to year, as it finds a place in a clearly mapped progression.

A link between the Earth’s motion and ice ages may provide a basis for calendrical measurement.

Astronomical Theory of Climate Change

Variations in Earth’s Orbit:
Axial Tilt – 22.5 – 24 degrees – 41, 000 years
(currently 23.4 degrees, decreasing)

Eccentricity of Orbit – 100, 000 year and 400, 000 year cycles

Precession – 22- 26, 000 years

Holocene and Geological Timelines

Calendar Reform: including longer measures of time

see also: Long Times

These are roughly the periods of Geological Time, as the results remain speculative. Given a certain degree of wiggle room with the time intervals (licentiousness refrained), what numberological system would best befit these Periods & Eras?

13 x 20 x 100 years = 26, 000 years = 1 estimated Precession of the Equinoxes

26, 000 years reflects the 13 x 20 days it takes for a human being to come to birth.

Can a similar reflection in time be made with the following delineations?

Replacing 64 Hexagrams
:the traditional I-Ching Hexagram structure: 6-lines, read from bottom to top, either solid or broken, representing Yang and yin respectively [the comparisons between the lines of the hexagrams and the Taoist yin & Yang are not universally compatible).

WIth 4096 Hexagrams
replacing the dual structure of 2 lines, the 4 colours yield a more complex series of images. In part, base 2 defines a line with 2 points.
4 points define a plane, the 4 directions N – E – W – S, with the 6 lines of the hexagram representing the vertical axis, from Earth to Heaven.

Pluto’s fall from Grace

It was only a matter of time

The International Astronomer’s Union (IAU) have refined their definition of planet such that Pluto no longer qualifies. After 76 years, Pluto has become a minor planet. Probably for the best, considering his role as the God of the Underworld in Roman mythology.

Other minor planets include Ceres in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and beyond Pluto we have Eris (with moon Disnomia), Haumea,  Makemake, Orcus, Quaoar, Ixion and Varuna.

Our Solar System now has  8 planets, including ours truly, instead of 9, as reflected in this Creation Myth.

The I-Ching, the Book of Changes, uses a binary system in which 8 is fundamentally important. It is also the most fortunate digit in Chinese numerology.

The IAU are also defining Precession and Nutation, as well as standardizing terminology, and means of communicating with the public.

Moon Periodicity

Faces of the Moon
See also: earthquakes and the moon, new corn moon, cycles of the moon.

In attempting to measure the Cycles of the Phases of the Moon, several longer scales of measure have been discovered. Curiously, the larger the span of time, the more accurate the measure, as if approaching a limit.

Metonic Cycle:
235 Lunations = 19 years = 6, 940 days

Calliptic Cycle:
940 lunations = 76 years = 27, 259 days

Hipparchic Cycle:
3, 760 lunations -1  day = 304 years -1 day = 111, 035 days

The Chinese Calendar inserts a 13th lunar month to account for the difference between the lunar year and the solar year, about 11 days.

Earthquakes and the Moon

Tremors and Lunacy – together at last!

Earthquakes are most likely to occur when the Moon crosses the Celestial Equator (the projection of Earth’s equator into space as a basis for a system of reference). They are most likely to occur in the Northern Hemisphere when the Moon rides high, and in the Southern Hemisphere when the Moon rides low (presumably from a Northern Hemispheric perspective).

For the remainder of Synaptic Year -7, or Gregorian 2006 CE, the times of risk are as follows:
