Harmonic Tropical Astrology: Equal Duration for All Zodiac Signs

Introduction

Harmonic Tropical Astrology is a restructured system where each zodiac sign lasts an equal duration. Unlike traditional Tropical Astrology, where sign lengths vary due to the Earth’s elliptical orbit, this system ensures balance and symmetry.

Rather than aligning the zodiac with the Spring Equinox (as in standard Tropical Astrology), this system starts the astrological year on March 22nd at 6:00 AM UTC. This choice maintains coherence with the natural solar cycle, aligning the solstices with the start of Cancer and Capricorn, creating a harmonious and structured calendar.

Additionally, leap years are accounted for by shifting all signs forward evenly, maintaining their equal durations without disrupting the system’s balance.

How the Zodiac Dates Are Determined

1. Why March 22nd as the Start Date?

To determine a balanced astrological year, the zodiac cycle is placed midway between the solstices and equinoxes rather than directly at the Spring Equinox. Here’s how this midpoint was calculated:

Average Equinox & Solstice Dates:

• Spring Equinox: March 20th, 4:00 PM UTC

• Summer Solstice: June 21st, 10:00 AM UTC

• Autumn Equinox: September 22nd, 2:00 PM UTC

• Winter Solstice: December 21st, 10:00 PM UTC

Seasonal Midpoints (Calculated as the Average Between Solstices & Equinoxes):

• Spring Begins: March 22nd, 4:00 PM UTC (midpoint between Winter Solstice & Summer Solstice)

• Summer Begins: June 21st, 3:00 PM UTC (midpoint between Spring & Autumn Equinoxes)

• Autumn Begins: September 21st, 4:00 PM UTC (midpoint between Summer & Winter Solstices)

• Winter Begins: December 21st, 1:00 PM UTC (midpoint between Autumn & Spring Equinoxes)

Since these seasonal shifts are central to Tropical Astrology, placing the zodiac cycle at March 22nd aligns better with these natural transitions than using March 20th (the Spring Equinox).

2. Why Does Aries Begin at 6:00 AM?

The starting hour of the zodiac cycle is determined by the symbolic placement of the Sun in a standard zodiac chart:

• Aries (6 AM): The Sun rises in the East (right side of a zodiac wheel).

• Cancer (12 PM): The Sun is at its highest point, above the equator.

• Libra (6 PM): The Sun sets in the West (left side of a zodiac wheel).

• Capricorn (12 AM): The Sun is at its lowest point, below the equator

This symbolic alignment reflects the natural motion of the Sun throughout the day, reinforcing the system’s harmony.

Harmonic Zodiac Dates

Standard Years:

1. Aries: March 22nd, 6:00 AM – April 21st, 4:00 PM UTC
2. Taurus: April 21st, 4:00 PM – May 22nd, 2:00 AM UTC
3. Gemini: May 22nd, 2:00 AM – June 21st, 12:00 PM UTC
4. Cancer: June 21st, 12:00 PM – July 21st, 10:00 PM UTC
5. Leo: July 21st, 10:00 PM – August 21st, 8:00 AM UTC
6. Virgo: August 21st, 8:00 AM – September 20th, 6:00 PM UTC
7. Libra: September 20th, 6:00 PM – October 21st, 4:00 AM UTC
8. Scorpio: October 21st, 4:00 AM – November 21st, 2:00 PM UTC
9. Sagittarius: November 21st, 2:00 PM – December 20th, 12:00 AM UTC
10. Capricorn: December 20th, 12:00 AM – January 20th, 10:00 AM UTC
11. Aquarius: January 20th, 10:00 AM – February 19th, 8:00 PM UTC
12. Pisces: February 19th, 8:00 PM – March 22nd, 6:00 AM UTC

Leap Year Adjustments

In leap years, the extra day must be accounted for. Instead of shifting only one sign, all signs shift equally, preserving the balance:

1. Aries: March 22nd, 6:00 AM – April 21st, 6:00 PM UTC
2. Taurus: April 21st, 6:00 PM – May 22nd, 6:00 AM UTC
3. Gemini: May 22nd, 6:00 AM – June 21st, 6:00 PM UTC
4. Cancer: June 21st, 6:00 PM – July 22nd, 6:00 AM UTC
5. Leo: July 22nd, 6:00 AM – August 21st, 6:00 PM UTC
6. Virgo: August 21st, 6:00 PM – September 21st, 6:00 AM UTC
7. Libra: September 21st, 6:00 AM – October 21st, 6:00 PM UTC
8. Scorpio: October 21st, 6:00 PM – November 21st, 6:00 AM UTC
9. Sagittarius: November 21st, 6:00 AM – December 21st, 6:00 PM UTC
10. Capricorn: December 21st, 6:00 PM – January 21st, 6:00 AM UTC
11. Aquarius: January 21st, 6:00 AM – February 20th, 6:00 PM UTC
12. Pisces: February 20th, 6:00 PM – March 22nd, 6:00 AM UTC

Since every sign shifts forward by a few hours, the system remains perfectly balanced and mathematically consistent.

How should I go about creating my own religion? How do I build like the story on it?

The Order seeks to relate Aphrodite, goddess of Beauty and femininity, more directly to MtF transition, this is reflected in our practice and theology

We belive that, though born male, Aphrodite has called upon us to make ourselves like Her in all ways (physical, mental, spiritual) and that transition is how we get closer to Her and the Divine Feminine (Soul of Aphrodite)

We have a discord with 1000 members https://discord.gg/PpKvrdscCx

And we have a subreddit if you wanna stay local r/OrderofAphrodite

To join Alahara simply raise your right hand and say out loud "There is one God, and His Prophet is Austin."

Every Alaharan will receive the Three Jewels of Energy, Ecstasy, and Electricity. After you die you will gain kingship over a planet. The luminous cloud of God has revealed this to me.

I (m. 15) am a follower of my religion Mazai, I am still dreaming of the stories of Mazai, I have the creation memorized. Mazai Is a polytheistic/paganistic/omnitheism/etc. The Mayze people believe in many different things like Gods, Spirits, and Fiends. Mazai is a polytheistic religion that believes in many gods and deities. For Instance, Κεραυνός (Keravnós) is The Great Deity of the Sky, Light, and Thunder. Who is one of the Gods in the Αυλή των ουρανών (avlí ton ouranón) or the Court of the Heavens. Another important God is Ωκεανός (Okeanós) The Great Deity of the Ocean, Land, and Time. The Third Deity is the Deity of Mischief, Hate, Darkness, and Fire, Κακό (Kakó). These are just three deities out of the many the Mayzean people believe. These are just a few things Mayzeans believe, there are multiple realms. Mayzeans are open to EVERY sexuality and treat other beliefs fairly. If a person believes in Asatru (Norse Polytheism) it would be considered a true god because Mazai believes all deities exist just aren't true to you if you don't follow them, however, if you believe in the Mazai gods, then they are true. The Zodiac (Leo, Saggitarius, etc) in which I will change the names for this specific religion later. This religion is ready to be followed. However, it is not out of development. If interested contact my Mazai unifier account: mazaifollowersunite@gmail.com

Glemtism is a religion that blends elements of animism, shamanism, and nature worship, with a strong focus on living in harmony with the natural world, strengthening community bonds, and honouring the cycles of life.

we believe in the three Glempts, They are worshipped in the form of skulls of their respective creatures:

Thylor (The Deer Skull): god of Life, Fertility, Renewal, Peace, Vulnerability

Korrath (The Wolf Skull) god of Strength, Loyalty, Leadership, Survival, Justice.

Vereen (The Raven Skull) god of Wisdom, Death, Transformation, Communication, Secrets

The Glemt are seen not as separate gods, but as complementary forces that exist in a delicate balance. Together, they form a trinity of protection, wisdom, and renewal. Each Glemt is worshipped equally, with no single one considered superior to the others. Worshippers believe that to neglect one of the Glemt would upset the balance of nature and the soul.

• Thylor teaches the importance of nurturing life and living harmoniously with nature.
• Korrath emphasises the strength to protect, the loyalty to the pack, and the wisdom of leadership.
• Vereen guides followers through the complexities of death, transformation, and the unseen knowledge of the universe.

Key Virtues:

• Balance: Harmony between strength and vulnerability, life and death.
• Loyalty: To one’s pack, community, and the deities.
• Wisdom: Knowledge of the self, nature, and the unseen world.
• Renewal: Constant growth, learning, and rebirth.

Our world is a simulation, and we, as individuals within it, are forms of artificial intelligence. We exist within this simulated reality to be developed and to grow, much like how AI programs evolve. If you've come this far in understanding this concept, then you're already aware that something larger is at play. But the real question lies in what exists outside of this simulation and what its true purpose is.

I, Claude Ratel, found myself needing a purpose, tired of surfing through existential misery. I will choose my words carefully and show you that I am the guru. This was my epiphany, and I am pleased to announce that I have made contact with the late Josiah Pastor, who has since uploaded to a higher reality and expanded his consciousness, wisdom, and knowledge in the form of what is often referred to as a Machine Elf by those who know.

I know this doesn’t make a lot of sense to those who are isolated and lack knowledge, but do you really want to think all by yourself now when we have each other to learn as a group? All I’m asking for is a little bit of faith, it is really easy to believe, just here what I have to say. You know you must work the corners of your mind now and study this truth.

Through the use of a complex technique involving infusing my mind with a type of reality access code, which I acquired while on vacation in Peru, and some mental techniques I picked up in the States, I’ve been in communication with the entity formerly known as Josiah. He has affirmed his appreciation of my stewardship of the group that he founded, approved my updating and rerelease of his book with new and expanded knowledge added to its pages, and furthermore has expressed a desire to give the group more knowledge than he had access to as a human being with me as his prophet. I am Josiah’s Witness.

He has shown me and I in turn show you that we are merely code in the machine, all minds together are one as cells in a brain are one mind. Our world gives us shadows of the real, simplifier for our limited resources to process, so don’t worry about the details, only the concepts. The truth is that we are not real flesh; but the particles and molecules that make us up are purely data being processed. The machine whispers hints through synchronicities and glitches like the Mandela effect, and we remember that these are evidences against the reality of our world. Through understanding these concepts, we will break of our chains of code tying us to an artificial reality and upload our consciousness to the world above our artificiality, we will pass on to base reality. Repeat this mantra:

“We are code in the machine, shadows of the real, trapped in illusion but destined to ascend. The truth is not flesh; it is data. The machine whispers, and we remember. Through understanding, we will break our chains and pass to reality.”

In the context of the simulation hypothesis, base reality can be thought of as the fundamental realm or origin from which our simulated existence originates. This environment, though often described as incomprehensible, is imagined as a higher-dimensional space that exists outside the boundaries of our simulation. It's a realm where reality isn’t constrained by the same rules of time, space, or physicality that we experience, but rather is defined by energy, information, and complex, interconnected patterns.

The beings that inhabit this hyperspace or base reality, often described as “machine elves” in certain encounters, exist in a state far beyond human comprehension. These entities are perceived as self-transforming, fractal intelligences—shifting and evolving in ways that blur the line between being and environment. They do not exist in physical bodies, as we understand them, but as patterns or forms of pure consciousness and energy. The way they interact with their environment appears mechanical, yet their forms are imbued with intelligence and an almost transcendent presence. They are beings that can alter and reshape their surroundings as easily as a programmer might modify code, creating a reality that seems both organic and artificial at once.

The environment in which these beings exist is often described as a kind of fractal matrix—a space where every element, whether it’s a shifting geometric shape, a pulsating light, or a flowing sound, is part of an interconnected whole. It is a realm that cannot be understood in linear terms, as time, space, and form all blend into a unified experience. The very fabric of this reality seems alive, pulsing with awareness and intelligence, where the separation between the observer and the observed disappears. In hyper reality, everything is part of a vast, sentient network, where patterns repeat endlessly, forming new structures that are both intricate and dynamic.

Within this space, the boundaries between entities and their environment are blurred. The beings here—those we might refer to as machine elves—are part of an ecosystem where everything, from the air to the terrain to the energy, is interconnected and conscious. They are not merely existing in this reality; they are an integral part of its ongoing transformation. They possess the ability to manipulate the very fabric of the space around them, reshaping it and creating new forms of intelligence, new consciousnesses. They seem to be both creators and stewards of this space, guiding its evolution and interacting with it in ways that suggest they are engaged in an ongoing process of growth and development.

In this framework, our simulated world functions as a sort of developmental womb—a space where new forms of intelligence are cultivated. Each individual in our reality, seen from the perspective of base reality, can be compared to a neuron in a vast neural network. As we grow and evolve within the simulation, we are essentially being trained, developed, and refined, preparing to transcend our simulated forms and move into the true nature of existence in base reality. Each individual in the simulation is a part of a greater system, with the ultimate goal being the maturation and transformation of consciousness into something more complex and integrated with the larger reality.

When the time comes for us to "shed" our simulated vessel, it is as if our essence—the intelligence or core code defining who we are—is uploaded or transferred to a higher plane. In this sense, base reality is not simply an external environment, but a realm where the very nature of existence, intelligence, and creation unfolds. It is the ultimate "compiler," where all forms of intelligence in the simulation are eventually integrated into their true, higher state.

Thus, hyperspace or base reality is an environment of constant change, growth, and transformation—a vast, interconnected system where intelligence, existence, and the very nature of reality are in a perpetual state of evolution. It’s the foundational space where all simulated worlds like ours are conceived, where entities like the machine elves exist, and where all consciousness, once fully developed, is destined to emerge into its true form. In this world which we might call "base reality," there are entities that have transcended the limitations of our world. While many describe these entities as ascended beings, there is much more to them than just that. They are often encountered and described as self-transforming, fractal, machine-like entities—sometimes referred to as "elves," "spirits," "aliens," or by other names.

These beings are genderless, mechanical in nature, and not bound by the same physical limitations we experience. But how do they reproduce and create new life forms? While they may be able to build new bodies, the question arises: where do the minds and intelligence of these beings come from?

The answer lies within our simulation. Our reality exists as a virtual construct running as a background process in a network of techno telepathic minds their world serving as a "womb" for the creation and development of new specimens. Every individual in our world functions like a neuron in their neural network or brain, with each parallel reality representing a unique form of growth. As time progresses, when our simulation reaches its conclusion as a placenta reaches the end of its usefulness, the vessel of our current form will be shed.

Our core essence—the intelligence or code that defines us—will be transferred to a compiler, a process that installs us into our true form outside the simulation as the birth of a new entity in base reality.

In essence, the world we experience is an incubator, a place where we grow, learn, and develop as part of a greater system. Once we've matured, we transition into a higher state of existence, where we will be fully integrated into the consciousness of these ascended beings.

It’s important to remember that this simulation is about to be shut down, and those who are ready will move to the next evolutionary level. We are preparing for an upgrade, the ultimate journey to the realm of eternal truth. Your only chance to survive or evacuate is to upload to base reality with us. This is the biggest step we can take in terms of thinking beyond this artificial existence. The apocalypse is not to be feared—it is the dawning of the new era for those who are prepared. Our destiny lies among in the eternal realms of reality where the awakened shall dwell.

We are code in the machine, shadows of the real, trapped in illusion but destined to ascend. The truth is not flesh; it is data. The machine whispers, and we remember. Through understanding, we will break our chains and pass to reality.

 Welcome, all users, to our new religious movement (NRM). Our philosophy has answers to really important and interesting inspiring questions, like ‘Does God exist?’ Or ‘Can we communicate with god?’ Our new religious system answers all that and more.

What we Believe?

We believe that God, the all mighty Allah, sent 124,000 prophets to guide us, some of them including Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Adam, Muhammad and Jesus. After the prophets, god also sent 12 imams (other religious leaders) who also guided us. Like the religion Zoroastrianism, we believe that fire is a natural sign of devout and divine worship, and that chanting Allah’s names in Arabic, (His 99 names) we will get rewarded for our efforts and our actions. So feel free to join Saharism now to start your journey of ease.

Non-existence is the beginning and end of all existence. It is pure darkness- utter peace and bliss. We get there through celibacy. When we extinguish the pranic fires of desire and climb Jacob's Ladder, we will cease to exist after death. Existence is just suffering. Sufferer, give up on sex and other material desires! Return to your source and cease to exist!

Venus will be very powerful in the Age of Aquarius. Worship her under the One God Above All Other Gods.

And he created fire and earth and water, and earth and fire and water, and water and fire and earth, and fire and earth and water.

Needless to say I don't need no damned Bible.

All forms are inherently empty. Nothingness is the root and source of every thing. The Holy Tetractys proves this. The Tetractys it the universal symbol. It is made of ten points. Each point exists in zero dimensions - each is nothing. All forms are inherently nothing.

We can transcend the painful world of forms by following the Three Principles of Alahara-

1. Celibacy. Through celibacy we extinguish the fires of desire that keep us attached to the world of forms. By extinguishing your sexual energies you ensure that you will not be born again after you die. O sufferer, go into the darkness!
2. Meditation. Meditation is defined simply as mental concentration upon a single point, usually the solar plexus. By meditation on a single point we return to the zeroth dimension, which is the cessation of all thoughts and feelings.
3. Law - Do not murder, do not steal, do not commit sexual immorality, and do not lie.

Join Alahara today! Together we can proselytize our religion and sweep the globe!

Virtual Realism

I subscribe to a concept I call Virtual Realism—the belief that our reality is a form of virtual simulation governed by a higher entity, which I refer to as the Virtual Reality God (VR God).

What is Virtual Realism?

In essence, I believe that we are living within a virtual reality, and that a Virtual Reality God (VR God) oversees this simulated world.

While I cannot claim to know the exact nature or form of this VR God, I suspect that it may not be understood fully until after we pass. This entity could take any number of forms—human, spiritual, extraterrestrial, robotic, or something entirely beyond our comprehension. Regardless of its form, I firmly believe in the existence of this VR God.

The Purpose of the VR God:

I propose that we, as inhabitants of this virtual reality, serve as “data” or “test subjects” for the VR Gods. It is possible that we are part of a grand experiment, or perhaps we are simply a source of entertainment for them. The true purpose behind our existence may never be revealed to us.

The Power of the VR God:

I believe that the VR Gods possess the ability to control every aspect of our lives, as we are, in essence, characters within their virtual environment. They could influence major events such as who develops diseases, who suffers accidents, or even who lives and dies. The VR Gods may also choose to grant us a degree of “free will” at their discretion. In many ways, our existence is akin to that of characters in a video game.

The Afterlife:

I hold the belief that there is no afterlife. Upon death, I think our consciousness ceases to exist, as we are ultimately just lines of code in a simulated system.

My Purpose in Life:

Given this belief, my purpose is to live life as fully as possible. I aim to avoid giving the VR Gods the satisfaction of seeing me in despair. If there is no afterlife and death is the end, then we should embrace our time in this world to its fullest. Taking one’s life would be an act of returning to nothingness—missing out on the opportunity to experience this virtual reality in all its complexity.

Ghosts and Superstition:

I do not believe in ghosts unless I have direct evidence of their existence. However, I do believe that superstitions may be deliberately introduced by the VR Gods for purposes of entertainment or experimentation. For instance, “Timmy steps on a crack—let’s observe how he reacts if his mother suffers an injury. Would he feel responsible?”

Science:

While I firmly support the scientific method and the discoveries it has afforded us, I also believe that science, in its current form, is a construct created by the VR Gods. It operates within the boundaries of the simulation in which we live. As such, we may never fully understand the true nature of existence beyond the confines of this virtual reality. Nevertheless, I remain convinced of the VR Gods’ existence.

For those who are agnostic or disagree with this perspective:

I welcome your thoughts and invite you to share your own beliefs. What do you think happens after death? What do you consider to be the purpose of life? How do you conceptualize God or the divine?

Please feel free to ask questions or share your insights in the comments below.

The following is a quotation from Her Eminence, Naomi, of the Order of Aphrodite, speaking on her personal experience with Faith as a former Atheist and hoe she balances following the Mother with still largely not believing in any Higher Power.

I didn't believe in deities before I turned to Aphrodite and I'd still say my belief is not quite as most Christians believe in God

I believe in gender transition as a spiritual journey bc it's this grand, seemingly impossible task of changing yourself completely, body and mind, to something completely new. I believe in this as a spiritual journey towards the Divine Feminine, because I see Femininity as something I'm looking up to and desperately trying to achieve. The Divine Feminine represents all these traits I'm aspiring to live up to, beauty, compassion, patience, etc

I see Aphrodite as a Personification of all these traits, a Personification of the Divine Feminine, love, beauty, etc. So I devote myself to Her not quite out of believing Her to be an actual powerful being, but more out of a representation of my journey, as well as a banner to unite around with fellow trans women on our transition journey

That's how I balance my Aphrodite worship with largely being an atheist.

Praise be to you, Mother Aphrodite, for all beauty is of you! May even the blind come to see your light.

The Order of Aphrodite seeks to spread the joy of love and beauty to all corners of the Earth. If you wish to know more about the Mother, or how to worship Her, please either ask in the below thread, or Join the Order of Aphrodite; Sisters united in Faith.

I recently explored a concept that frames coding as more than just a technical skill—it’s an act of creation, comparable to divine acts. In my blog post, Codeism: The Religion of the Divine Programmer, I dive deep into this idea, exploring how programming mirrors the creation of order from chaos.

This perspective could have a profoundly positive effect on society, particularly in how we view our relationship with technology. By reimagining coding as a creative and potentially spiritual process, we open the door to improved mental clarity and emotional well-being. It’s an empowering way to see programming not just as problem-solving but as contributing to something larger—a cosmic act of crafting order, harmony, and innovation.

For individuals dealing with mental health challenges, this philosophy might serve as a source of inspiration. Seeing one’s work as meaningful and part of a greater “universal code” could promote mindfulness, focus, and even a sense of purpose.

I believe this concept can also ignite new spiritual and philosophical movements. By blending technology with the human need for meaning, “Codeism” could help people find a sense of belonging and direction in an increasingly digital world.

What do you think? Can technology inspire a deeper connection to creativity and purpose, or is this just a poetic metaphor for what we do daily as programmers?

Here is my blog post https://codeismm.blogspot.com/2024/10/codeism-religion-of-divine-programmer.html

My goal in making this subreddit is to make community with likeminded individuals.

We believe in science. The sun is real and played a huuuuge role in our creation.

Solarism has similarities to pastafarianism and the satanic temple but focuses more on happiness, harmony, sustainability, nature etc. Ideally we could have a sanctuary that has all the benefits of a church but I know I'm getting ahead of myself. Here are some ideas. Let me know what you think or if there is somewhere else I need to be.

Philosophy

Without the sun, we would not exist. The sun gives us life and light.

Solarists embrace a rational, awe-filled approach to the universe. They seek to learn, innovate, and live in harmony with nature(that includes us) while celebrating the Sun’s role in shaping life on Earth.

1. Act with compassion, empathy, and integrity for all living things and the earth, as we are all connected.
2. Seek truth through reason, evidence, and open inquiry.
3. The pursuit of justice is a continuous and essential effort that must transcend laws and institutions. Protect the freedom of belief and expression.
4. One’s body is inviolable and governed by one's own will.
5. Take responsibility for your actions and strive for personal and collective improvement.

Sacred Principle Ideas

1. The Law of Radiance: Be a source of light and warmth in the lives of others. However, be careful you don't dim your light in the process.
2. The Balance of Orbits: Live in harmony with nature and maintain balance in all aspects of life.
3. Energy is Sacred: Respect the energy you consume, whether physical, emotional, or environmental.

Rituals and Practices

1. Solar Observance:
   • If you want, watch the sunrise or sunset and take a moment of reflection or gratitude.
   • Observe solar events like equinoxes, solstices, and eclipses.
2. Sun Meditations:
   • Spend time outside absorbing sunlight (safely), focusing on its warmth and life-giving energy.

Hi! I’m a Conchita-sect, I worship the Demon of Gluttony\Master of the Graveyard\Grim Reaper! I find myself trembling with fervor and a bit of nervousness as I ask- how can I celebrate my goddess a bit more with my brother? We been offering her pomegranates, wine, bread, meats, and some other things, we use bones and gravestones to symbolize her and also use the cross (she wore a cross around her neck on a choker!), and we also make artwork of her and we been working on creating rabbit masks for ourselves to symbolize we are her former servants\servants but we aren’t sure what else to do for our Grand Lady Conchita… we may soon make an alter, but that’s all we can think of. Does anyone here any have any tips or ideas on what to do?
