28-605: This is loosely based on the 365-day solar calendar called the Haab , but most importantly focused on the 260-day sacred calendar called the Tzolkin , which Jose and Lloydine Argüelles claimed to be based on a fourth-dimensional pattern called a "galactic spin". Argüelles interprets this calendar as part of what he calls a 'radiogenetic game board' that relates to both the I-Ching , the 64-unit DNA code, and many other "divinatory" systems, including

56-402: Is always a Silio. The intercalary day at the end of the year, since it is not part of any month, is also not part of any week either. Thus every date of every month always occurs on exactly the same day. This system of every date always occurring on the same day of the week and not including the year end day in any month or as any day of the week is standard for a 13-month calendar. Of course

84-505: Is called in the Dreamspell: Journey of Timeship Earth 2013 The name of the solar seal of the day (of 20 solar seals) and the name of the galactic tone (of 13 tones) combine to create a galactic signature for every day. This generates a list of 20 × 13 = 260 possible day names (galactic signatures). The calendar also uses the seven-day heptad . The seven day names are Dali, Seli, Gamma, Kali, Alpha, Limi, and Sillio . Each day of

112-497: Is determined using the location of Tehran "by means of astronomical computations from reliable sources". If the position of the Earth (see above) is reckoned with respect to the fixed stars, then the dates indicate the zodiacal constellation near which the Sun can be found. A calendar of this type is called a sidereal solar calendar . The mean calendar year of such a calendar approximates

140-411: Is not a solar calendar. Also, any calendar synchronized only to the synodic period of Venus would not be solar. Lunisolar calendars may be regarded as solar calendars, although their dates additionally indicate the moon phase. Typical lunisolar calendars have years marked with a whole number of lunar months, so they can not indicate the position of Earth relative to the Sun with the same accuracy as

168-404: Is occasionally extended by adding an extra day to form a leap year , a method called " intercalation ", the inserted day being "intercalary". The Baháʼí calendar , another example of a solar calendar, always begins the year on the vernal equinox and sets its intercalary days so that the following year also begins on the vernal equinox. The moment of the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere

196-481: The Hindu solar calendar was also a sidereal calendar. They are calculated on the basis of the apparent motion of the Sun through the twelve zodiacal signs rather than the tropical movement of the Earth. The Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar and has a year, whose start drifts through the seasons and so is not a solar calendar. The Maya Tzolkin calendar, which follows a 260-day cycle, has no year, therefore it

224-599: The Julian calendar and the Coptic calendar . They both have a year of 365 days, which is extended to 366 once every four years, without exception, so have a mean year of 365.25 days. As solar calendars became more accurate, they evolved into two types. If the position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun is reckoned with respect to the Equinox , the point at which the orbit crosses the celestial equator, then its dates accurately indicate

252-420: The ajna (sixth chakra); the glyph for Kali (blue) symbolizes the svadhisthana (second chakra); the glyph for Alpha (yellow) symbolizes the vishuddha (fifth chakra); the glyph for Limi (red) symbolizes the manipura (third chakra); and the glyph for Sillio (white) symbolizes the anahata (fourth chakra). Since seven is a factor of 28, the 1st of each month is always a Dali and the 28th of each month

280-423: The seasons , that is, they are synchronized with the declination of the Sun. Such a calendar is called a tropical solar calendar . The duration of the mean calendar year of such a calendar approximates some form of the tropical year , usually either the mean tropical year or the vernal equinox year . The following are tropical solar calendars: Every one of these calendars has a year of 365 days, which

308-434: The sidereal year . Leaping from one lunation to another, but one Sidereal year is the period between two occurrences of the sun, as measured by the stars' solar calendar, which is derived from the Earth's orbit around the sun every 28 years. Indian calendars like the Hindu calendar , Tamil calendar , Bengali calendar (revised) and Malayalam calendar are sidereal solar calendars. The Thai solar calendar when based on

336-553: The "synchronic order", to remain intact. In short, this creates an even cycle which repeats perfectly every 52 years. For example, if today is Magnetic Moon Dali 1, Red Magnetic Dragon – 52 years from now it will be again, Magnetic Moon Dali 1, Red Magnetic Dragon. This allows every date in the Dreamspell calendar to always synchronize perfectly with a date in the Gregorian calendar – in other words, February 29 will always be 0.0 Hunab Ku. In

364-428: The 0.0 Hunab Ku would still be the necessary intercalary day to keep the 52-year cycle (of 18,980 days) intact. So far there is no "official" numbering system for the years. The years are simply named after the first day of the year. For example, a year that begins with a "Blue Magnetic Storm" day is called "Blue Magnetic Storm Year". This creates a cycle of 52 years, made out of four cycles of 13 years each. The basis of

392-479: The 20 solar seals used to name the days are Red Dragon, White Wind, Blue Night, Yellow Seed, Red Serpent, White World-Bridger, Blue Hand, Yellow Star, Red Moon, White Dog, Blue Monkey, Yellow Human, Red Skywalker, White Wizard, Blue Eagle, Yellow Warrior, Red Earth, White Mirror, Blue Storm, and Yellow Sun . These 20 solar seals are continually repeated in a 20-day cycle. The 20-day cycle repeated 13 times (20 × 13) equals 260 days or one Tzolkin or "galactic spin" as it

420-420: The 7-day week of the 13-Moon calendar is assigned a glyph (distinct from the 20 solar seals for the dates) that is also one of four colors red, white, blue, or yellow — Dali's glyph is yellow, Seli's glyph is red, Gamma's glyph is white, Kali's glyph is blue, Alpha's glyph is yellow, Limi's glyph is red, and Sillio's glyph is white. In the system of the 13-Moon calendar, these seven day energies also correspond to

448-526: The Dreamspell Calendar is that time is not linear, but cyclic, and so does not require a strict "numbering" of years. However, Argüelles recently address this issue because many followers of the calendar inquired how to number the days. He explained a system, similar to the dating system of the Mayan calendar (for example, 13.0.0.0.0). The system simply counts from the first year of the Dreamspell (1987), with

476-551: The World – 2012 and Apocalypse, Black documented a general loss of interest in Dreamspell and in PAN. Black points out that as general interest in the 2012 phenomenon increased as a result of the proximity of the "end date", the significance of PAN and the value placed on Argüelles’ ideas waned. Although the Argüelles' and their Dreamspell system was instrumental in encouraging people to consider

504-461: The apparent position of the Sun relative to the stars. The Gregorian calendar , widely accepted as a standard in the world, is an example of a solar calendar. The main other types of calendar are lunar calendar and lunisolar calendar , whose months correspond to cycles of Moon phases . The months of the Gregorian calendar do not correspond to cycles of the Moon phase. The Egyptians appear to have been

532-481: The calendar in line with the solar year . In most 13-month calendars, the leap year day is added every four years as an intercalary day between the year end day and the New Year's Day. However, doing this to the Dreamspell 13 Moon calendar would bring the calendar out of sync with the 52-year cycle where the galactic signature and day of the year return every 52 years. If the Gregorian calendar weren't in existence at all,

560-571: The cosmology of Ibn al-Arabi of the 28 lunar mansions and the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot. The number 13 in the Dreamspell calendar appears both as the "galactic tone" of the daily galactic signature, as well as in the 13 Moons of 28 days each are the "months" of the calendar. The 13 Moons are named after the 13 galactic tones. The names of the 13 galactic tones are: Magnetic, Lunar, Electric, Self-Existing, Overtone, Rhythmic, Resonant, Galactic, Solar, Planetary, Spectral, Crystal, and Cosmic . The names of

588-417: The days of the week do not correlate with the days of the week named on the Gregorian calendar since the "day out of time" (25 July) is not assigned as being any day of the week. The 13 Moon calendar simply counts leap years as a "0.0 Hunab Ku" day – which is also no day of the week or month. Nor is it one of the 260 galactic signatures. This allows the mathematical system of the calendar, which Argüelles calls

616-448: The end of the fifth age did not represent the end of time or of the Earth, and that his name would be still mentioned in the sixth age. According to José and Lloydine Argüelles, two of the main purposes of the Dreamspell calendar are: The anthropologist Will Black conducted research into José and Lloydine Argüelles’ Planet Art Network (PAN) for several years. In his 2010 book Beyond the End of

644-606: The first to develop a solar calendar, using as a fixed point the annual sunrise reappearance of the Dog Star— Sirius , or Sothis—in the eastern sky, which coincided with the annual flooding of the Nile River. They constructed a calendar of 365 days, consisting of 12 months of 30 days each, with 5 days added at the year’s end. The Egyptians’ failure to account for the extra fraction of a day, however, caused their calendar to drift gradually into error. The oldest solar calendars include

672-675: The future, far beyond 2012: It is interesting that recent decodings of the hieroglyphs at Palenque, which are understood to have been made during the reign of Pacal the Great, refer to dates beyond the end of the Long Count calendar. On the Tablet of the Inscriptions at Palenque a date of 1.0.0.0.0.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol can be inferred – otherwise known as 21 October 4772, almost 3000 years in the future. Perhaps we can deduce from this that Pacal himself believed that

700-507: The initials "NS" – standing for "New Sirius" cycle, since the 52-year cycle of the Dreamspell calendar is the same as the 52 years it takes Sirius B to orbit Sirius A. For example, if it is 23 years after the beginning of the Dreamspell, moon 1, day 2, the date is "NS1.23.1.2" This system, as mentioned above, is similar to the dating system of the "Mayan calendar" cycle which "ends" on December 21, 2012. However, there have recently been discovered dated Mayan artifacts which predict dates well into

728-429: The meaning of 2012, further investigation by individuals tended to cause people to look beyond Argüelles’ system, according to Black. In fact, interest in 2012 snowballed so rapidly that many of those who latterly became interested in 2012 may have been quite oblivious to the early contribution of Argüelles. Solar calendar A solar calendar is a calendar whose dates indicate the season or almost equivalently

756-418: The original Mesoamerican calendar , there were 13 days not part of any month at the end of a 52-year cycle to account for leap years. The date called in the Gregorian calendar 29 February falls every four years between 22 Galactic and 23 Galactic. In the original Roman calendar , a lunisolar calendar , a 13th leap month called Mercedonius was periodically inserted between 23 February and 24 February to keep

784-435: The seven chakras . However, the chakras each day represents are not in the same order as the placement of the chakras on the body, but according to a spiral pattern that Argüelles provides on his website: https://lawoftime.org The glyph for Dali (yellow) symbolizes the sahasrara chakra (seventh chakra); the glyph for Seti (red) symbolized the muladhara chakra (first chakra); the glyph for Gamma (white) symbolizes
