The two other calendars that celebrate the heliacal rising of Sirius are the Coptic and Ethiopian calendars, although these days it is only symbollic.
There is a third calendar that was in use only for a few years, being the French revolution republican calendar, which although connected the years to the Equinox's, one of the months was called Vendemiaire (vintage) that started on September 11th.
One of my areas of my study has been a very aggressive asteroid called Juno, that seems highlighted during the change over from the Julian to the Gregorian Calendar, although wasnt studied at the time.
During the period between 4th to the 15th Oct. 1582 Juno was conjunct Sirius, and on the 1st Jan 1583 at midnight it is three degrees off the M.C.
I have no idea if this accounts for Juno's power that is displayed during the 20th and 21 century, to go back to previous centuries would be dubious in regards to accurate times, there are many eye witness reports and newspaper reports regarding events that happened in the 20th century, and i would like to start with the First World War.
There is an connection to Juno to the M.C. with the assassination of Arch-duke Ferdinand, that triggered W.W.1. a month later but i will come back to this later if needed.
Lets look at the telegram that started W.W.1. sent from Vienna, Austria at 11:10am. July 28th 1914, which hopefully will link to this web-site:-

If you make up a chart, you will find Juno at 22*57' Cancer and the M.C. at 22*19' Cancer.
It may seem strange to link Juno to a peace signing if it is aggressive, especially if Neptune the surrender planet is near the M.C. but you must remember that there was a burning resentment within the German people over the signing of the Armistice, more so than the second part of the surrender document being the signing of the treaty of Versailles.
This can be shown as when Hitler invaded France, he made the French sign their freedom away in the same Foche railway carriage, which the Germans signed their surrender in 1918.
The German signing of the Armistice document was to leave burning resentments that would cause another war two decades later.
Most historical documents usually put the time down of signing as 05:05am in the Foche railway carriage in Rethondes, France, 11th November 1918, although a couple of reports put time down as 05:10am.
Brady's Starlight has Rethondes at Lat. 49*N25', Long. 02*E57'.
At 05:05am., the Planet of Surrender, Neptune is 09*20' Leo., and the M.C. is at 06*21' Leo.....The trouble is Juno is at 06*46' Leo!
So far we have been looking at Juno on the M.C., but W.W.2 was different, Events with Juno were connected to the karma/I.C. area of German charts, but i dont think this is strange as 1939 was a resentful karma issue for Germany, as both wars are connected.
To find when W.W.2. kicked off is easy to find on the net.
"At 09:00am. on the morning of 3rd September 1939, Sir Neville Henderson, Britain's ambassador to Germany, delivered an ultimatum in Berlin, stating that if hostilities didnt stop in Poland by 11:00am, then a state of war would exist between Britain and Germany.
The Ultimatum came from London, but the aggression was coming from Berlin.
So perhaps we shouldnt be surprised if we make up a chart for Berlin that the I.C. is 22*41' Aquarius and Juno is 24*32' Aquarius.
I have plenty more charts on the two world wars, but feel the need to go on to recent events....i have plenty of charts involving Juno!
The symbol of Sirius/Blazing Star is a pentacle or pentagon,.....The Pentagon was attacked at 09:37am on 11th Sept. 2001, which is a date that some calendars celebrate the Sirius heliacal rising, although symbolic, and matches the ground breaking ceremony of the Pentagon.
As i have said i am liberal with all religions that are non-aggressive, and i am not pointing fingers at anyone, but can we not as astrologers just research the problems of our times without going mad?
At 09:37am on 11th Sept. 2001 you will find Juno at 26*43' Cancer, the M.C. is 25*53' Cancer....any comments?
