STAR CALENDAR CALCULATOR app for iPhone and iPad

The star calendar calculator is the first app of its kind that allows the user to easily convert dates between a 364 day calendar and the traditional Gregorian calendar. The star calendar calculator also displays an easy to use clockface that allows the user to track the year, month, day and hour at a glance.


The 364 day calendar is produced by removing one day out of the year, which is regarded as a rest day or ‘day out of time’. With this day removed from the calendar system, the year becomes evenly divisible. 364 is divisible by 13 months producing 28 day months of 4 weeks of 7 days. This exact division, with no remaining days, unlike the Gregorian calendar of varying month lengths, produces and easy to follow calendar that brings the user back into alignment with natural time of the sun, moon and stars.


The 364 day calendar has an affinity to the heavenly sphere. The stars rotate 364 revolutions per 365 days of the year. The stars rotation is approximately 4 mins slower per day than the suns to complete its circular daily cycle. The accumulative effect throughout the course of an entire year, is that the star rotation is one full 360 degree turn less that the suns 365 day cycle. It’s this differential in cycle speeds that gives the movement precessional movement of the stars in relation to the sun. The 364 day calendar recognizes the 364 revolutions of the celestial sphere per 365 days of the year.


The 364 day calendar, unlike the Gregorian calendar starts it year on the 1st of April in Gregorian terms. Start of the year being the at the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.


The 364 day calendar has one more trick up its sleeve, and that is the days of the week don’t shift. In the 365 day calendar the days in relation to the months shift. This is because the Gregorian months are not divisible by the 7 days of the week. For example the 30 days of September cannot be evenly divided by 7. The month will have two days remaining. This means that the start of the month is a Sunday then the month will not end on a Saturday to start the next month on a Sunday, but rather the month will end on a Monday, causing the next month to start on a Tuesday. Thus the start of the month and the day are not in sync.


The 364 day calendar is evenly divisible by the 7 day week and the shifting days do not occur. The start of the month for every month will always be a Sunday, the start of the week will always Sunday. The days become fixed and static so that events can be locked from year to year, making the year far easier to track and understand in relation to the past years events. In summary its far easier to track repeating cycles of time.


The 364 day calendar has a special relationship to the human body, specifically the hands. There are 14 divisions on each of the hands (phalanges), thus the two hands equal 28, each division of the hands can be regarded as a day and the two hands equal 1 month (28 days).


The Star Calendar Calculator has an easy to use clock face, that has 3 hands. Each had tells of a different cycle of time. The First hand shows the daily cycle of Day (24 hours), the Second hand shows the day of the week in relation to the month (28 Days), the Third Hand shows the week in relation to the year (52 weeks).


The dial also has markers to show the 360 degrees in the circle. The full circle is the full year. The approximate dates for the equinoxes and solstices are at 0’, 90’, 180’ and 270’.


The Star Calendar Calculator aims to expand into other calendars so that the cycles of time can be tracked multiple ways, and also expand as an educational resource for understanding time and its relationship to the natural world.
