The All Peoples Calendar returns our sense of time-keeping & time-passing, from a conventional rectilinearity to time’s circular, spinning nature, while placing worldwide holidays and celebrations in one vision.

The 365 days and their dates follow along the circumference of the circle. Just within the circumference the moon phases move.

In the calendar’s center area, the two superposed jagged figures (one for a.m., one for p.m.) chart the minute of sunrise & sunset for each day, with 4 o’clock as center-point and 5, 6, 7 & 8 o’clock rings emanating concentrically outward. Tracing a line from any given date back to center-point will intersect with figures at the moment of sunrise and sunset for that day.

Planetary conjunctions and eclipses appear just outside the dates. The two large triangles with tips meeting at center-point and bases forming a tangent to the circle mark the solstices and equinoxes, dividing the year into the slightly unequal quadrants. The 12 astrological signs in their 30° sectors frame the page.

A calendar’s complexity comes from the 3 cycles of day, month and year that do not comprise an integral number, along with the astronomical cycles that are neither constant nor perfectly commensurable. The rotation speed of the earth on its axis is regular, but the speed of its elliptical orbit around the sun is not. Variable speed along an ellipse produces seasons of unequal lengths. The seasons themselves are caused by the earth’s 23.43° axial tilt, not by its varying distance from the sun along its elliptical path.

The common year of 2026 (365 days beginning on a Thursday) will also align with (+ 11) 2037, (+ 6) 2043, (+ 11) 2054, (+ 11) 2065, (+ 6) 2071, (+11) 2082, and so on.
