[edit] Description
Natures Calendar-Clock 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.
Natures Calendar-Clocks 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] Calendar reform
Natures Calendar-Clock reform is designed to make the calendar and Clock 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 Natures Calendar-Clock 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 Temple of Time .
Natures Calendar-Clock reforms are as follows:
Natures Calendar-Clock introduces logic and rhythm because it starts the day after the Northern Hemispheres Winter Solstice. It is a reversed mirror image in the southern Hemisphere. The Winter Solstice of the Yearly cycle is the equivalent to midnight on a Day cycle Therefor Natures Calendar-Clock is a fractal of the daily cycle and can unite the Calendar with the Clock if the clock only went around once per day and each hour were 120 minutes. If each hour were 120 minutes you could then see the pattern of the yearly solstices and Equinoxes on the clock face and 30 minutes after would match the 3, 60 minutes after would match the 6 and so on, making telling time easier.
Each month of Natures Calendar-Clock 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 6 day 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. Seasonal Holidays can be celebrated world wide there by helping to create peace in the world.Natures Calendar-Clock offers itself as an inspirational tool. Months are renamed according to their position in the growing cycle, light cycle and life cycle.
Natures Calendar-Clock 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.Natures Calendar-Clock 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 noon and the central axis rather than the repeating 12 on the 24 hour clock. Natures Calendar-Clock 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 Natures Calendar-Clock was originally called the Aquarian Calendar. It was inspired by an acrylic painting called cosmic mystery that was inspired after attending the Gathering of Eagles which was based on the Color Wheel integrated with the compass and the four directions.. Eventually this painting was revised into digital graphics and integrated multiple religious symbolism and other circle related information.
In 2002, through integrating associated computer graphic images it was discovered that the Aquarian Calendar could also be integrated with clock reform and that they could both be based on nature. The name was then changed to Natures Calendar-Clock . It was supported through magazine articles, workshops and presentations. The adoption of the Natures Calendar-Clock 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 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 Natures calendar dates
Because of the ever shifting un rhythmic dates of the Gregorian Calendar, the easiest way to convert to tNatures Calendar-Clock 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.
Natures Calendar-Clock also matches a traditional round clock face by reforming the clock to 12 hours of 120minutes each, each minute is 120seconds long. This reveals the fractal pattern of times hours, minutes, and seconds and also matches the 12 months of the year.
[edit] Beginning of the year
Natures Calendar-Clock 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
Natures Calendar-Clock 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 | Natures Calendar Name |

| 1. | January | 31 | Vision | 30 |
| 2. | February | 28or29 | Plan | 30 |
| 3. | March | 31 | Action | 30 + 1 Spring Equinox World Holiday |
| 4. | April | 30 | Hope | 30 |
| 5. | May | 31 | Manifest | 30 |
| 6. | June | 30 | Nurture | 30 + 1 Summer Solstice World Holiday and 1 leapday every 4 years |

| 11. | November | 30 | Preserve | 30 |
| 12. | December | 31 | Wisdom | 30 + 1 New Years Eve and 1(Winter Solstice/New Years Day)World 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.
Natures Calendar-Clock does 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
[edit] Distribution of dates by day of the week
Natures Calendar-Clock 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
Natures Calendar-Clock 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.

[edit] Day of week
Natures Calendar-Clock days of the week are always the same for each month and each year. The Extra days are the New Years Eve, Solstices, Equinoxes or Leap Holidays.
