Happy Julian/Gregorian Calendar New Year week everyone! I find the history of recording time fascinating. Throughout time we as humans have tried to come up with ways to standardize it. Our western calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to help fix Easter’s drift in the Julian calendar with its correlation to the Spring Equinox. Another fun fact is that the last European country to adopt the Gregorian calendar was Greece in 1923. That took 341 years. [more or less ;)] for the western countries to get on the same page. I find that the Islamic calendar much more intuitive since it’s lunar based, and I find day light savings time irritating antiquated. But the thing I love is that recording time is still a manner of perspective.
P.S. Remember signs that have * it’s a big week for you.
*Aries – The Tower- So the beginning and end of your year starts with The Tower. If there was ever a time when the Tower is appropriately timed is during the week of the New Year. The Tower’s lesson is the foundations of your life, morals, are in good shape but you need to tear down the old structures that are not working for you. So this week spend some time looking at what old habits are just not working anymore and make some new year resolutions to create some new structures in your life.
Taurus – Nine of Pentacles- This week the Nine of pentacles recommends for you to spend some time alone. If you can get just an hour or two off by yourself, you will find that this will not only reset your mind from the holidays but give you some insight into your new year goals.
