Welcome to Nature's Calendar,

A brief History of Natures Calendar.
I first started connecting the solar cycle to as Stonehenge and the medicine wheel in 2006 and called it the Cosmic Wheel. I then made it into a Calendar and called it "The Aquarian Calendar" After many incarnations this evolution as "Natures Calendar" officially started at the end of the Mayan Calendar on Dec 21, 2012. Since then it has and has grown into many other manifestations such as Book, Cards, etc.
John Major Jenkins Author of "2012" History calls Natures- Calendar- Clock"Amazing,it is the grand unified theory wrapped into the seasonal solar cycle."
This Calendar-Clock is a scientific mandala mind tool that aligns with Solar Energy and combines the compass, the yearly cycle, the daily cycle, the human life cycle and natural growth cycle with the Christian cross, the Star of David, the yin yang symbol, medicine wheel, deck of playing cards, symbol of the Sun, the 12 zodiac signs and the color wheel. It is a mandala mind map, an ancient yearly cycle tool to help achieve goals and celebrate the Seasons as world Holidays.

~~~31 EQUINOX Holi-day~~~
The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the March equinox, which is often March 20, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.
Equinox means Equal Night and the X is a representation of the Earths plane crossing the Suns Plane X known as the letter Chi
In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands which form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ.Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas)
Plan a party to celebrate Equinox !

The Sun is directly above the Equator
The Equinox can fall on either the 20th or 21st. On the Gregorian Calendar..and could fall in the middle of the week. On Natures calendar the equinox will always be the day before the week-end or on the week-end. If we followed Natures Calendar, there would also be a Holi-day (day off) creating a 3 day week-end making it more easy to celebrate.

Center of the Wheel
~Center~ The center is the place you arive at after you have made the journey around the wheel. The wheel can represents cycles of any thing started and completed. It can be the daily cycle, the monthly cycle, the yearly cycle or some other cycle. It is the place of balance and power. Just like the center of the merry go round, it is the place of equilibrium where you do not get dizzy and out of balance. Balance is what we stive for because if you stay on the outside of the wheel you are constantly under the force of being thrown off. It is known that when engines or other rotating devices get out of balance, they will self destruct. We can use this knowedge as a metaphor in our lives. Here is a youtube Center of the Wheel that explain different symbolic aspects of the center. The center is the place where we transform and begin a new higher cycle.

The major improvements of the Natures Calendar-Clock are:
- Aligns with the Light Cycle Starts on the Northern Hemispheres Winter Solstice
- Months have more meaningful names. Months are named acording to their position in the growing cycle.
We use our past wisdom and knowledge and gain Vision (January) to inspire us to start again. We Plan (February) what Action (March) and steps to take. We move forward with our Hope (April) and prayers which Manifest (May) our dreams then Nurture (June) with efforts, which result in Growth (July) and prosper and blossom into the Result (August) and fruition that we can then Harvest (September) and Preserve (October) the abundance and rewards. We Reflect (November) on the past cycle and use the Wisdom (December) and knowledge gained to inspire yet another vision.

- Uses natural turning points as Holidays Solstices and Equinoxes are celebrated with additional Holidays at the quarters (although the time between the equinoxes and solstices is not exactly 90 days, this calendar is designed so that the holidays fall on or near the week-end of the holiday. This always allows for days off for the actual events. Spring Equinox is Earth Day, a day to help clean up and take care of the Earth. Summer Solstice is Sun Day, a day where the sun is celebrated for all it gives including light, Heat and Food..
Fall Equinox is Multi-Cultural Day, a day for parades down the street that showcase all of the various cultures that make up the world. It is also a day to show the diverse dance and dress and foods of various cultures.Winter Solstice is New Years Eve. It is a time to celebrate the return to the light. Of course in the southern hemisphere it is the opposite.
- Logical and rhymthical Each month is the same lenght of 30 days = 360days + 5 seasonal holidays.
- Predictable Does not change from year to year, Each month starts and ends on the same day and is the same every year.
- More closely Aligned with the Constellations The months are more closely correlate to the star constellations that can be seen at that time of year.
- Integrates the clock to Align with the Sun The clock face makes visible the relationship to the tropic of Capricorn and the tropic of Cancer and the prime meridian..
- Fractal like proportion The clock has 12 hours of 120 minutes which is more logical because then the The hours correspond to the minutes. for example 90 minutes after the hour is 9 O'clock. This reveals the repeating fractal like nesting nature of cycles.
- can be used for Fun and Games Can be used for Divination or other card and dice games.. It fits perfecty with the 6 and 6 of two dice to total 12 for all the months. It's four directions also correlates to the 4 suits of cards. It also fits with the 13 cards in each suit because of the center.
- Self help tool. Inspires self questioning and include mantra's for each month which can also be sang as songs.
- Sacred space/ ritual tool. Use it as a model and mind map to establish connection to the infinite mystery.

IIf you believe in evolution then you may believe that humans are continuing to evolve how we relate to the planet and each other. These relationships are controlled more than we realize by the structure of the calendar. Our current calendar was designed primarily for taxation and war and keeps us confused and locked in the illogic functioning of the past. Our calendar was developed in a time when you could be put to death for saying that the Earth went around the Sun. Every other aspect of our technological society advances except our calendar technology.

While it would be a vast undertaking to evolve our current calendar, we could begin by adopting Natures Calendar as an ideal and spiritual symbolic calendar that unifies religious symbols and promotes living in harmony with the natural cycle. or share and display Natures Calendar-Clock poster to help you achieve your visions and stimulate thought.

Temple of Time to see the vision of a physical building.
Natures Temple of Time unites the color wheel with sound, life cycle, growth cycle, solstices and Equinoxes and aligns with, celebrates and teaches about the Natures cycles. It also is a 3D model of Natures Calendar-Clock
The Temple of Time currently exists in the form of a 3D sketch up model, 3' model of the Temple of Time above an Infinity Mirror and a 12' diameter portable Hexagon tent with the decorated ceiling and colored walls surrounding a scale .
The creator / maker/ Artist Kelly O'Donnell's goal is to build a life size permenent Temple.

Why the Gregorian Calendar is F'...d up?,
With so much environmental destruction, it's time to reconnect man to the Natural cycles of the
Earth and Sun to raise consciousness of living in harmony with the environment.

Natures Calendar-Clock
(formerly the Aquarian Calendar)
Frequently Asked Questions.
Reforming the antiquated Gregorian calendar to
celebrate Natures Seasons as World Holidays

Why do we need to reform the calendar?
Because the Gregorian Calendar is disconnected with nature, it has lead to the degradation of our environment by not living in harmony with nature.

How does Natures Calendar-Clock connect us with nature?
Natures Calendar-Clock creates world Season Holidays on or near the Solstices and Equinoxes which are common to all the people of the Earth allowing all people to celebrate the Seasons.

Do Natures Calendar-Clock World Seasonal Holidays fall exactly on the Solstices and Equinoxes?
No because the Solstices and Equinoxes happen with in a 24 hour time period so they can happen with in two day periods.

If the world holidays don't fall exactly on the actual Solstice or Equinox Holiday what good would that be?
Because they will always fall on the Friday week-end or on the Holiday allowing them to be celebrated rather than the middle of the week.

Is this the New World Order?
No it is the Natural World Order that was in existence before man. How does celebrating the seasons help save the environment?
Celebrating the seasons increases the consciousness of the movement of the Earth and Sun alignments which is also aligning with Solar Energy.

How can aligning with the Solar Energy help save the Earth?
Just imagine if every house built had more windows on the Equator(sun side) of the house and few or no windows on the Pole sides of the house. We would use less resources, dig less West Virginia Mountain Tops, Cut down fewer trees for heat, import less oil for heat, which would result in less pollution and less need to go to war over oil.

Can't we connect to the Sun and Earths turning points with out reforming the calendar?
Yes but we haven't because our Gregorian Calendar has a shifting 14 year cycle which makes the Solstices and Equinoxes fall into the middle of the week sometimes so it is difficult to get people to gather because of the work week.

Why does the Gregorian Calendar have a shifting 14 year cycle?
Because it has random variable month lengths from 28 days to 31 days.Why does it have variable month lengths?
Because that is what Pope Gregory and his advisors decided. Why did they design it that way?
They may have wanted to discourage people from celebrating nature like the pagan people did at the time.

Are Pagans devil worshipers?
No the word Pagan means "country folk" not associated with the 3 major religions of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. It originally ment the ancient tribes of Europe before Christianization and also includes Native Americans.

Why did the Church want to discourage nature worship?
Because at the time they thought, the actual word of the Bible was the ultimate truth and they thought that the Earth was in the center of the Universe and flat..

Do they still think this way?
No in the year 2000 the Vatican finally gave a formal apology to Galileo for putting him under house arrest for teaching that the Earth went around the Sun and said they were mistaken in their interpretation of the Bible.But isn't the Bible the word of God?
The problem with the Bible is it has be interopretated, translated and edited by so many people at various times for various reasons that it is hard to know the truth. People such as Monk Giordano Bruno who also taught that the Earth went around the Sun, have been put to death for heresy due to misguided interpretations of the Bible.

Is this calendar against the word of God?
No. this calendar seeks to align people with the "Work of God" as evidence in the nature he created. This calendar seeks not to destroy religions but to incorporate religions with nature.

What proof is there that the Church wanted to discourage people from connecting with Nature?
Because the church incorporated the ancient pagan holidays and put their holidays near the natural Solstices and Equinoxes so the Pagans would make the transition to celebrate the Religion Holidays since they were compelled to or face heresey charges and witch accusations.

What evidence is there for the over taking of the Pagan Holidays.
Clues can be found in words. At the Northern Hemisphere's spring Equinox, the Earth is East of the Sun. that is why Easter is named Easter? The Sun's direct Rays "Pass Over" the Equator as in the Jewish term passover to name a few. In addition, Sunday means Sun-day not Sonday.

Are the religions bad for doing this?
No, religions have many good aspects but being separated from nature does not result in over all good.

What are the other benefits of Natures Calendar-Clock reform?
It is predictable and easy to get into rhythm with and incorporates many symbols.

Why is it good that it is predictable and rhythmical?
Imagine if our weeks were different length, there is no advantage to having random month lengths. Why would we want to create more confusion if we don't need to.

What Symbols does the Natures Calendar-Clock incorporate?
The cross of the Solstices and Equinoxes is revealed by the world Holidays and is also the symbol of the planet Earth and the seal of Solomon or Star of David is revealed in the Color wheel representing the light. It also contains a cube in the center of the Seal of Solomon. It also includes the Yin-Yang and I Ching.

Why is it good that the Natures Calendar-Clock incorporates these symbols?
Because the Cross also represents Christianity, the Star of David is a symbol of Judaism, the Cube is like the Cube of Mecca of Islam. The Yin- Yang and I Ching are related to Taoism, and Buddhism. It shows that all the symbols are actually part of Nature. It creates common unity rather than division.

Why is it good to find these symbols related to Time?
Because they are all part of the Map to the fundamental pattern of Nature that we can unify around rather than argue over.

Why do the numbers on the Natures Calendar-Clock go counter clock-wise?
The number of the clock can go either way because everything is relative depending upon where you observe it from., Counter clock-wise is prefered because it turns with the direction of the rotation of the Earth because when placed on the Equatorial facing wall, the numbers will match up with the apparent motion of the Sun.

What do you mean apparent motion of the Sun?
The Sun does not move in the sky...it only appears to move because of the daily rotation of the Earth and the yearly rotation around the Sun.

Why does the Natures Calendar-Clock only have 12 hours in a day?
Because it is more logical to have the same units of measurement for the yearly cycle and the daily cycle and then allows the clock and the calendar to be integrated.

How is it more logical?
Because a quarter after on the clock the big hand will point to 3 and it will be 30 min after the hour and also the same with 6 to 60min, 9 to 90min, 12 to 120 min.

How does Natures Calendar-Clockface integrate with the year?
The numbers 1-12 also represents the 1-12 months. It is just on a larger time scale.

Does Natures Calendar-Clock line up with the Zodiac signs?
There are two ways to refer to the star relationships. There is Tropical and Sidereal time. Natures Calendar-Clock more closely aligns to the Tropical definition of the Zodiac than does the Gregorian Calendar. The Gregorian does not currently line up with Tropical or Sidereal time.

Why does it more closely align with the Tropical?
Because the Tropical year divides the year into 12 equal parts and keeps the names of these houses or lunar mansions as they were in antiquity where as the sidereal houses move one degree approximately every 72 years with the procession of Equinoxes.(on side real time eventually Leo will be in the winter and everything continually moves) There for the Aquarian Calendar is based on the time of the seasonal turning points rather than the stars which will continually change due to the wobble of the Earths axis. Additionally the real constellations vary widely in size and the would not be divided up equally though out the year.

Are there other reasons why Natures Calendar-Clock face is more logical?
Yes you can visibly see the balanced patterns of the sun rises and sun sets of the day on the clock face.

Can you see the sunrise and sunset pattern on the 24 hour am /pm clock?
No because it goes around two times in a day it will not show the changing light pattern. For example it will apear to rise at six and set at six, on natures calendar it will make a semetrical butterfly pattern through out the year.

Why are the month names on the Natures Calendar-Clock different?
Because the names are more connected to the yearly light and life cycle.

What is wrong with the Gregorian calendar month names?
July and August are named after Julius and Augustus Caeser, and the Latin meaning of Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec mean 7,8,9,10 although they are our 9,10, 11, 12, month.

What are the benefits of the Natures Calendar-Clock four day work week?
It is better for decreasing the unemployment rate and giving more people jobs instead of over working some people and under employing others.

What are the benefits of the Natures Calendar-Clock 30 day months of 5 weeks of six days each?
The month always starts on the same day and ends on a week-end which makes it more predictable and logical.

What are the arguments against the Natures Calendar-Clock?
It would take some computer program updates but this could also help unemployment.

Why does this seem harder to understand?
Because your mind is like a computers operating system. You were downloaded with the software of the old Gregorian calendar in grade school. Children would find this much easier than learning the Gregorian system and current clock.

What are some of the steps to bring about the reformation of the Gregorian calendar?
The easist thing to do is to start having celebrations of the Seasons (although they will fall into the middle of the week sometimes). The second thing would be to tell others about Natures Calendar Clock; The Divine Design of Time.. The next step would be to get a petition signed and contact leaders in government to make the Seasons Holidays. Then lastly would be calendar reform.

How do you answer critics who say that this is a pie in the sky impossible idea?
Change has to start some where and the longest journey begins with a single step. In order for something to be, you must first imagine it. I also ask is, our current Gregorian calendar, developed in a time when you could be put to death for teaching that the earth went around the sun, the ultimate design?

How do you answer critics who say that a 6 day week is against the Bible?
The idea that the Earth went around the Sun was not supported by the Bible so the Bible is subject to interpretation. Why would God really care how long a week is because all weeks are man made and correspond to no celestial events. So dividing the months equally would make using the calendar easier.
