The 12 Labours of Eyael

Nothing changes on New Year's Day” used to sing he who recently promised to throw himself off a cliff1, only to get his knickers in a knot before running for the hills just like all the other bloodified from the NWO. Nothing changes except the calendar.

As for the rest, we're off for another round of Roundabout, with the usual mumbo jumbo of traditional bloopers (although given the current level, the MSM may not have much to show that we haven't seen yet); of Pinocchio wishes (be careful not to hurt your eyes on this peak, forsooth, this peninsula that would make poor Cyrano speechless); of damned resolutions and sheepish suckers always kicking into the long grass.

Actually, the term 'calendar' is taken from Latin calendarium ('account book'), derived from calendae ('calends'), which means 'called out'. The Roman calends marked the first days of each new moon when debtors had to pay their debts. The Greeks never had calends, so I'll leave you to your own deductions (cross my heart, the pun was unintended). A very accommodating calendar indeed, with additional intercalary months, amended by priests in order to extend or shorten, as they saw fit, the period of rule of some consuls.

And guess what: 2025 begins with a New Moon (calend) in false Capricorn (tropical zodiac) and true Sagittarius (sidereal zodiac). In other words, an ultimate pitch-black night with Jupiter, ruler of this lunation, having just begun its second tug-of-war with Saturn on Christmas Eve. But we'll get back to this in a forthcoming post as part of the 12 Labours of Eyael.

The idea occurred to me while playing around with some funny filters on my phone. Twelve themed portraits for each month of the year. It appears that my feeling of nostalgia over the late Project Eklabugs2 may also have a lot to do with it. Although, this time, it'll be different as I'll be up and at it on my own. No jacks, but lots of diamonds in my spread as they're a girl's best friends. Diamonds are the equivalent of wands in traditional tarot and stand for, among other things, initiative and change. I never planned anything. I just went with the flow. Only I and no AI. Although I wouldn't mind like-minded bloggers to join me in my monthly diatribes.

Enjoy the odyssey!
