Six year old Gypsy and her father walked out the door on a clear cold winter night. She squeezed her daddy's hand to get his attention and asked quietly, "Daddy, what is that?". Arran followed her gaze up to the shimmering Full Moon and explained matter of factually. "That is the Full Moon." Then he paused to take a better look and realized something. He looked down at his beautiful daughter's young eyes and said, "Remember sweetheart, remember when I worked nights and a lot of times we would stand on the balcony watching the stars and seeing the moon." There was a look of confusion in her eyes, and then a glimmer of memory. They stood to admire the magnificent Full Moon and Arran recalled many nights of camping in Mexico before Gypsy was born, and feeling connected to nature. He knew the exact time by the moon and the stars. He sighed and looked at the many lights of the city that washed the stars shine away and they slowly continued on to the car . . .
What became of the Moon's important role in time? It would seem the Moon is gone from our consciousness. The world has become too crazy, too rushed, almost too artificial. Often people hear or say things like "running out of time", "wasting time", "not enough time".
The Moon and it's phases are still important. Moon Time is an ancient concept. It has always been there, waiting patiently to be acknowledged again.
In 1519 Hernan Cortes and his Spanish crew landed on the coast of Yucatan and discovered the Mayans. At that time the Mayan empire was not a unified empire, but distinct groups of Mayans sharing cultural characteristics; such as highly developed calendars. The Mayans used seventeen consecutive calendars, a complex writing system and sophisticated mathematics. Even today the Maya have maintained their significant cultures and languages.
Cortes, was not yet aware of the spiritual implications that surrounded his expedition. His arrival in the Americas coincided perfectly with the predicted return of Quetzalcoatl, the "Plumed Serpent". He is the Aztec's main God, credited with creating man and teaching the use of metals and the cultivation of the land.
Sixty three years later, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII revised the Julian Calendar to create the well known Gregorian Calendar in use today. The Julian Calendar was created in 45BC and was named after Julius Caesar. Both the Julian and Gregorian measures of time follow the earth circling the sun and are called Solar Calendars. The necessary time and leap year adjustment from the Julian Calendar into the Gregorian Calendar resulted in the loss of ten days between October 4th and October 15. That is to say, at midnight October 4, 1582 it became October 15, 1582.
Calendars were ultimately implemented to "colonize" the population as an instrument of control. The Gregorian Calendar is filled with days of "celebration", not to promote humanity but to promote consumerism. It has become the framework of government and global activities geared towards international commerce = "Time is Money". Following this day to day there is a feeling of getting nowhere, of life without purpose. It is irregular, illogical and does not use internal spiritual language.
"Living under the rigidity of the twelve month calendar, nature has become irrelevant. It is from this fundamentally flawed perception that humanity attempts to progress; beyond the limitation of nature.
The fact is, our idea of nature is flawed, not nature itself."
Jose Arguelles
"The 12 month calendar has a cycle that is contrary to and out of phase
with the natural annual thirteen fold gravitational wave created
by the Moon's orbit around the Earth."
physicist Mark Comings
Moon Time is Natural Time
Moon Time follows the cycles of the moon around our planet and is referred to as natural time. Every being on our planet is affected by the moon's cycles. The ocean tides are affected by the moon and the human body, consisting of 80% water, is also affected by the movement of the moon. Scientist have discovered the effects the moon on our body's balance, moods and emotions.
Women know this well by their 13 menstruation cycles in one year. Approximately every 28 days the moon becomes full and every 28 days women experience what Native American women call their "Moon Time". Women feel this timing frequency which is inside and connected to nature. This is our natural timing frequency.
Police and Emergency personnel prepare for Full Moon activity. People can be affected by the dark of the Moon as well; the days the moon is hidden from the sun. This is the time of the month to rest.
It has been said, when the moon is "waning" -- going from Full to New, it is the time to detoxify. When the moon is "waxing" -- going from New Moon back to Full, it is the time to fortify. The Farmers Almanac is still popular today using moon phases to help the farmers find the best times to sow.
There ARE 13 FULL MOONS in one year!
The familiar saying "once in a blue moon" is actually quite the contrary. In the Gregorian twelve month calendar, some months have two Full Moons and it is thought to be a rare occurrence. There have always been 13 Full Moons in each year. When the calendar is spread equally over 28 days, there is a Full Moon in every month, even and balanced. Natural.
This is what Jose Arguelles teaches with his 13 Moon - 28 Day Calendar. Each day of the week is represented by a vibrational / spiritual name speaking the internal spiritual language of our Chakras. Chakras represent the seven energies of the human body. The Thirteen Months are based on the Thirteen Moons.
What I have done is combined the energies of the Cards to each day of the Thirteen Moon Calendar and added the additional seven Chakras of the Aquarian Age to reconnect us all to the all important natural time frequency of our planet. (Sanskrit Chakras, we all know: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet . . . now add in the Aquarian ascension colours as Turquois/Copper, Coral, Magenta, Copper, Silver, Gold and Platinum . . . The 14 PiscArian Colours of each suit helps us to evolve into the Age of Titanium.
"Let our Earth become our Space Ship".
"As a comprehensive reflection of nature, the 13 Moon - 28 Day Calendar is a perfectly balanced solar / lunar measure and would do no less than give the entire biosphere a fresh new start and a shot at peace.
. . . If humanity wishes to produce harmony, we must use harmonic tools!"
Jose Aruelles
Moon Time exudes calm, serenity and patience. In tune with the natural rhythm of our world and our bodies, it is vital to return trust to our internal timing frequency.
Expanding the calendar to fit the Moon Cycles as well as the Solar Seasons will bring balance and harmony with nature.
The Mayan Calendar is creating awareness of the shortcomings of our Gregorian Calendar and hopefully, provoking serious reconsideration of the "old" calendar and the way time is viewed.
Time is not external, it is internal and key to finding natural balance.
Always be aware of the cycles of the Moon and bring the 13 MOONS back into consciousness. There are many schools of thought to explore and discover the meaning of Natural Time and how it relates to the Moon.
Gypsy will remember to keep the moon in her sights, it is her rhythm of life.

Are You Aware of a New Calendar?
The New Way Of
Feeling
Time.
Welcome to Moon Time.
There is something not quite right
with the way we FEEL time.
What has changed?
We Have!
It is essential we take a critical look
at the haphazard
12 month Gregorian Calendar,
and understand we are
"defined by Artificial Time"
Join the journey into understanding
our cosmic / natural time of 13 Moons.
There has always naturally been 13 Full Moons every year!
"Clocks slay time . . .
Time is dead as long as it is
being clicked off by little wheels;
only when the clock stops
does time come to life."
William Faulkner
Are you ready and willing
to experience the new shift of vibration
to bring harmony back into our world.
Check it out and get in tune
with creating our new story as
we reawaken . . .
As you begin to explore this new time,
you will reawaken
"the syn-chronic order"
needed for the health of our planet.
"Synchronicity refers to the underlying cosmic intelligence
that synchronizes people, places and events
into a meaningful order.
We experience synchronicity
when an outer event corresponds to our
inner thoughts, perceptions or feelings.
For example, have you ever been thinking of someone,
when moments later they call you on the phone?
or
have you ever had a burning question on your mind
only to open to a random page of a book
and find the answer?
This is Synchronicity!"
quote from
Foundation for the Law Of Time
www.lawoftime.org
The missing link!
As you learn the language of the 13 Moons
you will find you are
"altering your perceptions and
acquiring a new consciousness"
needed to save our planet.
"Transcend the linear confines of mechanical time
and free your heart & mind into natural time!"
and

1st Introspective Moon
Moon Day 1 'till Moon Day 28
is
July 26 'till August 22
(Gregorian Calendar)
Note:
the 13 Moon - 28 Day
Internal Energy Cycles
starts on July 26
(Gregorian Calendar)
"corresponding with the heliacal rising of the Star Sirius"
The heliacal rising of a star occurs when it first becomes visible above the eastern horizon for a brief moment just before sunrise, after a period of time when it had not been visible.
"The first day of the 13 Moon Calendar,
the New Year, begins on July 26.
This date originally correlated
to the heliacal rising of Sirius at 19.5 latitude north.
The 13 Moon - 28 Day Calendar
has been in use for over 5500 years.
From the Incan, to the Druidic count, to the Egyptian,
to the Essene, to the Mayan, to the Polynesian.
The 13 Moon Calendar has been used
throughout pre-history as the harmonic standard
and is now being followed the world
over by advocates of Galactic Culture!
The Calendars that start July 26
may carry messages
from the star Sirius,
through the Sun to the Earth.
Calendars that begin January 1
may be circulating energy
from both Sirius and Vega,
since the Sun aligns with those two stars at that time.
Sirius, the New Year Star,
is at its highest overhead at midnight December 31,
while Vega is located directly opposite,
below the horizon, under our feet!"

This is the time to connect with nature spirits.
Have you seen the faeries and are you connected to "green" magic.
You may believe you have grown to old to see faeries,
but you can still catch their movement and sense their presence.
I found a beautifully illustrated book called
"Seeing Evangeline"
by Sandi Greene.
Sandi is a visual artist and photographer from Calgary, Alberta.
Sandi is able to capture the garden faeries.
She has a wonderful eye to see what most of us take for granted.
Check out her book, you can "google" it.
May is also a time to reconnect with your intuition.
Use natures beauty to
reconnect with your soul.
