Answer from tractor manufacturing[newbie]
Friends! The most almost correct answer is from Grigory Chichikalo. The calendar repeat intervals are actually 6, 5, 6, and 11 years. I checked it using my day and month of birth.

Answer from chevron[active]
And as for me, all the answers are wrong. Recurrence occurs after 5, 6 and 11 years. But in a different order. There are 52 full weeks in a year. 52*7=364, and one (in a non-leap year) gives an offset by one day of the week. On leap days it shifts by two days. If it were not for leap years, the repetition would occur every 7 years. Here are leap years and give periods of 5 or 6 or 11 years.

Answer from Alexander III[guru]
I installed a calendar on my mobile 11 years ago, as Grigory Chichikalo said - everything is clear!

Answer from Alexey Khrustalev[active]
Petrovich has the most accurate answer. The calendar repeats itself completely after 28 years, I checked it myself
. A year consists of 52 weeks and 1 day (2 days in a leap year). Therefore, the repetition will be in 5 or 6 years, depending on how many leap years occur on these days after 52 weeks. Therefore, we multiply 7 days by 4 (3 simple years + 1 leap year) = 28. Personally, I thought so. If you don't believe me, find calendars on the Internet for 29 consecutive years (28 + 1 for the next cycle).

New Chronology of Egypt - I [with illustrations] Nosovsky Gleb Vladimirovich

5.5. "Astral Calendar". How often does the same horoscope repeat itself?

Let us tell you in more detail how the “astral calendar” works, which was used to record dates on the Egyptian zodiacs. As we have already said, the recording of the date on the Egyptian zodiacs consisted of indicating the places among the zodiacal constellations for all seven ancient planets (including the Sun and Moon).

The question may arise: are there enough possible ways of placing planets according to the signs of the Zodiac - that is, possible horoscopes - that they could be used to successfully set dates? Let's say - with an accuracy of one or two days.

Let's do a simple calculation. One year has an average of 365 and a quarter days. This means there are approximately 365 thousand days in a millennium. The historical period, illuminated by written documents, according to generally accepted chronology, lasts 5-6 thousand years. It is easy to calculate that about 2 million days have passed during this time. Is the number of possible horoscopes able to “serve” such a time interval? Wouldn't it turn out that there are so few different horoscopes that the same horoscope will, say, be repeated in the sky every 100-200 years? If this were indeed the case, then the dates recorded by horoscopes would be useless for the purposes of independent chronology. Because in this case it would not be difficult to find a date suitable for a given horoscope in almost any given century. By the way, it is precisely this kind of mistake that is made (among other things) when trying to confirm the Scaligerian chronology with the help of astronomical dating of the Sumerian tablets, or the Egyptian zodiacs, in the interpretation proposed by Egyptologists. See also section 2.5.

But let's return to the number of possible horoscopes. Fortunately, the situation with them is not at all as bad as it might seem at first glance. The number of possible horoscopes is enormous - it exceeds 3.5 million. This is quite sufficient for independent dating purposes.

In fact, let's carry out the following simple calculation. Let us remember that each of the seven planets can occupy any of the 12 constellations of the Zodiac. Thus, for each planet we have 12 possibilities. But at the same time, the inner planets - Venus and Mercury - cannot be too far from the Sun. Thus, Venus cannot deviate from the Sun by more than 48 degrees of arc, and Mercury cannot deviate from the Sun by more than 28 degrees. This means that if the position of the Sun in the Zodiac is fixed, then Venus can be no more than 2 zodiac signs away from the Sun, and Mercury can be no more than one sign away. Let us recall that one sign of the Zodiac occupies an average of 30 degrees of arc on the ecliptic.

In total, for Venus we get 5 possible signs of the Zodiac: the same sign as the Sun and 2 neighboring signs on each side. For Mercury, accordingly, there are 3 possible signs of the Zodiac with a fixed typical position of the Sun. The remaining planets can occupy arbitrary positions on the ecliptic, regardless of the position of the Sun and each other. Finally we get

12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 x 5 x 3 = 3,732,480 possible horoscopes.

If you do not strive for special accuracy and assume that the same horoscope remains in the sky for an average of about a day, then all that remains is to divide the resulting number by the number of days in a year and obtain the average period of repetition of horoscopes. Using any calculator, it is easy to calculate that it will be about 10 thousand years. In other words, if the distribution of horoscopes over time were completely chaotic, then each horoscope would be repeated in the sky on average only after 10 thousand years. But there is no complete chaos here. Therefore, a horoscope, having appeared once in the sky, is quite often repeated one or two more times over the next 1500-2000 years. Then, as a rule, it “disappears” again for tens of thousands of years.

This repetition of horoscopes is associated with the existence of pseudo-periods in the planetary configuration of the Solar System. That is, false periods, after which an approximate, already disturbed, repetition of the configuration of the Solar System occurs. One more time, the configuration is repeated in an even more distorted form. Such pseudo-periods usually do not work more than two or three times.

One of these pseudo-periods of 854 years was discovered by N.A. Morozov, and subsequently studied by N.S. Kellin and D.V. Denisenko in . N.A. Morozov wrote about this:

“Wanting to reduce numerical calculations as much as possible, my late employee in the astronomical department of the Lesgaft State Scientific Institute, M.A. Vilyev, found a period of 912.9 years for the same geocentric combinations of Jupiter and Saturn, and I then came to the conclusion that the best is the period of 854 years... We see that if the 854-year period of identical geo-heliocentric combinations of Saturn and Jupiter that I found was of significant accuracy and many thousands of years of invariance, all these series and triads would be repetitions of each other. But in fact, Saturn arrives at the same point in the sky not exactly after 854, but after 854.25 years, so that it is geocentrically behind by three degrees, and Jupiter arrives at the same point geocentrically after 854.05 years, so it is also behind by one and a half degrees in each subsequent episode. And vice versa, both of them show an advance if we count the series backwards... This cycle is also very interesting because new moons and the same phases of the Moon occur on average every 8 days, and Mars occupies a fairly close position to its previous position. In the same way, Venus and Mercury tend to stay here two or three times on the same side of the Sun, to the east or west of it. But to continue... such a calculation... for very long periods (at least for 10 periods, i.e. for 8500 years) would be imprudent,” vol. 6, pp. 706, 708.

N.S. Kellin and D.V. Denisenko further investigated this pseudo-period, found by N.A. Morozov, and found that from the point of view of an earthly observer, it sometimes works even in cases where the overall planetary configuration changes significantly. They wrote:

“In 854 years, Venus will make 1388 full revolutions around the Sun and about 70 degrees more, and Mercury will not reach its former place by about 40 degrees. And although these shifts are significantly greater than the corresponding displacements of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn (on average 21, -1.5 and -3 degrees, respectively), Mercury and Venus after 854 years may appear to an earthly observer not only in the same constellation, but practically at the same longitude, precisely because they move around the Sun closer than the Earth and therefore can be projected to the same point in the sky, even being in different parts of their orbit relative to the Sun.”

The presence of such pseudo-periods leads to the fact that many horoscopes, since they arose over the past 2-3 thousand years, can be repeated two or three times over a historical interval. From the point of view of astronomical dating, this leads to the very undesirable, but quite frequent occurrence of several solutions for the same horoscope throughout the historical period.

However, such decisions are still usually few- two or three, sometimes one or, on the contrary, four. Therefore, if, in addition to the horoscope, we have at least the slightest non-trivial astronomical information characterizing the desired date, then there will be only one complete solution. This is exactly the case with the Egyptian zodiacs.

On the other hand, from the above calculations it follows that a “taken from the head”, that is, a fictitious horoscope, as a rule, will have no solutions at all in the historical interval. The length of which is only 2-3 thousand years. After all, this is significantly less than the average time after which horoscopes are repeated.

All this means that the “astral calendar” of the Egyptian zodiacs is really capable of conveying to us “safe and sound” exact dates of ancient Egyptian history.

Apparently, the very idea of using the “astral calendar” to record funeral dates was connected precisely with its exceptional durability. In fact, this calendar, unlike any other calendar systems known to us, allows dates to be written without regard to any conventions of the current time. It does not depend either on the beginning of the reign of the emperor or on the beginning of any other era or calendar cycle. It does not even depend on the number system and the way numbers are written. In other words, it is not associated with anything that posterity could easily forget.

In fact, recording dates in such a calendar did not require any words or numbers. Everything was done using only pictures. The only thing you need to know to decipher such a date is the symbols of the zodiac constellations and the figures of the planets. And we must admit that the calculation of the “ancient” Egyptians that people would always remember these astronomical concepts, since the starry sky is eternal, was justified. Today we actually retain enough memories of ancient astronomy to decipher “astral” dates. These memories help us understand the ancient astronomical symbols on the Egyptian zodiacs.

So, fortunately, today we are indeed able, although not without some effort, to read the ancient "astral" Egyptian dates. And find out what time ancient Egypt dates back to.

Three articles will be presented on the topic of life cycles: 7, 11 and 18 years. This is certainly important information for understanding the events that occur in a person’s life. And choosing the path he wants to go.
Human life is cyclical. The pattern of cyclicality applies to everything: events, relationships, health. Have you noticed that some situations recur with enviable consistency, after a certain time? And I would like to change some events. One loses his job or money over and over again, under similar conditions, another always marries unsuitable men, the third constantly becomes dependent on situations. This has its own laws. Today we will look at the law of the 7th cycle. We will do this through the prism of human development from the moment of birth to the culminating point - 7 years.
Seven years is a cycle of consciousness and self-identification. This means that before the age of seven, a person develops key concepts about his “I”. In S. Freud's psychoanalysis, up to the age of 7, a child goes through a number of phases that determine his further behavior and lay down the most important personality traits and ways of reacting. And you can’t argue with Freud here.
The seventh year is the outcome that defines our personality and shapes aspects of our identity, ideas about ourselves, our gender, our worth, relationships, potential, confidence, relationships, self-trust. The process that was formed in early childhood is ending. How we emerge from this cycle has a significant impact on our future. It is at this age that our relationships are formed - family, friendship, colleagues.
A common example: a child does not receive traditional maternal love with cordiality, tenderness, affection, admiration, and compassion. Relationships with the mother develop through a system of punishment: if you do something wrong, cause discomfort, you will be scolded. And now they “scold” him - this is an expression of love. As an adult, this person will do everything to get his version of “love.” He will cause pain, “play pranks” - he should be scolded. For him there is no tenderness, affection, care, “together under a blanket watching a movie with cocoa in hand,” “naked in the ocean at sunset holding hands,” “looking at the stars, hugging.” He expects punishment and does everything to get it. Naturally, the personal life of such a person cannot be happy, because we are as happy with others as we are happy within ourselves. An unhappy person will be unhappy with anyone.
This is how we attract events and people into our lives who will always reveal our traumas, because our goal is always to get rid of fear and pain and become free and, accordingly, happy.
People who grew up in a deficit of love cannot build full-fledged relationships, because love for them is anything: attention, scandal, encouragement, even punishment, but not what it really is.
There are many examples. And you need to understand this: after birth, the connection that is established between significant adults and the child is extremely important. Among other things, the character and attitude of the first significant adult forms a deep image of a higher power - God in a person’s life. If he is strict and punishing, then God is the same in man’s mind; if he is protective and supportive, then man builds his relationship with God in the same way.
The touch and love that surrounds the child is very important at this time. This is necessary for his physical and emotional development. This is the basis for trusting people, God, life and the ability to build meaningful close relationships, and at the same time set your own boundaries.
“If a mother does not give her son confidence and love, then, when he becomes an adult, he begins to take revenge. The scriptures say: “A mother can create God, or she can create a demon. She writes fate on her child's forehead." What a mother gives to a child in the first three years of life becomes the fundamental basis of his character. In the next four years, up to seven years, the second stage of influence occurs.
Many parents become not teachers, but a shelter, protection for the child. When parents act as a shield for a young person, his own protective body does not work.”
Yogi Bhajan, February 10, 1993

Every 7 years (7,14,21,28.....) our consciousness changes, our values change, we check the compass to make sure that we are moving in the direction that is our destiny. This brings big changes to our lives. And if we get rid of trauma over a period of time, clearing the subconscious, then we become the master of our life. Events no longer repeat themselves. This is called - a person has changed karma. Every seven years, new energy emerges to renew the lens through which we view life. After 7 years, it is difficult to live a false reality and ideals created in collusion by our subconscious, false ego and emotions. What we considered the absolute truth melts and dissolves like a mirage.
Our task is to go beyond the boundaries that contain the patterns that determine our actions and reactions based on traumatic experiences up to 7 years. And by directing efforts into fear, drama and trauma, release the energy that froze in childhood and is now a factor determining destructive behavior. We deserve all the best and there is no limit to this. By right of birth, we have everything: health, love, prosperity - all this comes from the light of our soul. And we need to remove from the subconscious everything that obscures and limits this light.
The crisis of the 7-year cycle also works in relationships. Every 7 years the union faces a test, as the time has come to reassess values. And if two people go through it relying on the light of the soul, compassion and love that it gives, then the union is preserved and moves on to a new stage of development, be it family, business or friendship.
We at Kundalini Yoga use rebirthing meditation aimed at healing this period. But you need to remember that all Kundalini Yoga practices work to cleanse the subconscious, and no matter what you do, it leads you along the path of conscious self-healing. Exercises prepare the body by clearing channels and meridians, moving psychic energy, meditation clears the mind and subconscious, and pranoyamas activate, collect and direct the energy that is necessary for change, for action.
In addition to rebirthing, the most effective are Gong and White Tantra, in the tradition of Kundalini Yoga.

Cyclicity - 28 years. Those. Every 28 years the calendar completely coincides.

28 years only for leap year. For a non-leap year, the next repetition is usually after 5 or 6 years (of course, if the resulting year is not a leap year itself).

By the way, yes. Non-leap - repeats after 6 years. I checked on that site 1977 and 1983 - exactly the same dates.

Wow... And I really hoped that even with my poverty I could save up an inheritance for my son :)
Is there some kind of system (regularity) when it’s 5 and when it’s 6?

21.05.2009, 14:11

Apparently, the previous message was misinformation. In cases where the calculations above would result in 5 years, one of these years will always be a leap year. Thus, a shift at 5 years is never observed. And 6 is only for years 4x+1 (like the above-mentioned 1977 or the current one, 2009).

Murashkina

21.05.2009, 14:14

In a normal year there are 365 days, i.e. 52 weeks and 1 day. In a leap year there are 52 weeks and 2 days. Therefore, if the year x is normal, then January 1 of the year x+1 will be shifted by 1 day relative to January 1 x. If year x is a leap year, then January 1 x+1 will be 2 days “later” than January 1 x.

So 5 or 6 will depend on how many leap years fit into that time period. If 1 - then 6, if 2 - then 5 (taking into account the fact that leap years occur once every four years, they can only occur 1 or 2 times). Around 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, etc. (i.e., years that are not leap years according to the Gregorian calendar, although they are divisible by 4), apparently it may turn out to be 7 years later (precisely because a leap year falls), but this is already exotic.

Thank you. I'll print it out for my son. For me, this is already part of the series, as the Spaniards say, lengua griega :)

Or maybe you can also give me an algorithm on how I can calculate how many times a year Friday the 13th happens? I read it once and forgot...

Nasturtium Petro

21.05.2009, 14:22

No, this algorithm does not work.
Enter 1978. It won’t work out in 5, 6, or 7 years. Only after 28 years.
1977 turned out to be a special year and was repeated exactly 6 years later.
This does not happen with other years.
We conclude that calendar dates repeat after 28 years (try it with any year, be it a leap year or an ordinary year, it always works).
I wonder if there is at least one more year, besides 1977, that will repeat itself in 6 years? I couldn't find it.

ZY I was born in a unique year!!!:support:

One fool (solnyshkoelena) can ask such a question that even a hundred wise men cannot answer...

Well, I'm not interested in this area. I just became curious. I went to a website where you can enter any year from 1971 to 2037. And at random I concluded that in 28 years, in any case, all the dates will coincide. But there are exceptions, like 1977.

21.05.2009, 15:08

Final result:
For year 4, the next one will be in 28 years.
For a 4x+1 year, the next one will be in 6 years.
For the year 4x+2 and 4x+3, the next similar one will be in 11 years.

If the indicated years lie in different centuries, and the “zero” year of the new century is not a leap year, then:
For years 100x+72 (as well as 100x + 76, 100x + 80, 100x + 84 and 100x+88) - the next one will be in 40 years (!). Here and below it is assumed that (x+1) is not divisible by 4.
For years 100x+90, 100x+91, 100x+92, 100x+96, 100x+97 and 100x+98 - the next one will be in 12 years.
For years 100x+94, 100x+95, 100x+99 and 100x + 100 - the next one will be in 6 years.

Few people already know that in 1929 the following dates were still considered non-working days:

Major religious holidays were still celebrated. However, by the end of the decade, the country had undergone enormous changes. The NEP was curtailed, industrialization and collectivization began. The calendar has also changed.

Almost all holidays were canceled and became simple working days. Not only religious holidays, but even the New Year were no longer celebrated. However, a few years later, Christmas was replaced by the New Year. At the same time, a new character appeared - Santa Claus.

If you miraculously preserved calendars for 2002, 1991, 1985, then you can use them in 2019.
In general, calendars almost completely coincide with each other by year exactly after 6, 11 or 28 years.

Years are divided into leap years and three non-leap years: pre-leap, post-leap and regular.
The calendar can completely coincide only in a cycle divisible by 4 (recurrence of leap years) + 7 (recurrence of the day of the week) + 12 - (recurrence of cycles according to the zodiac).
