In the Armenian Sky the Day of the Vernal Equinox

March 20, 2021 is the day of the vernal equinox. In the Armenian sky, sunrise occurs exactly at 7:00, on the eastern side of the horizon (azimuth 90°). However, before dawn—exactly one hour before sunrise, at 6:00—at azimuth 98° and altitude +10°, the principal Alpha star of the constellation Aquarius, Sadalmelik, appears. In this era, it can be called the “Harbinger” or “Bringer of the Sun,” because it is precisely through highly accurate astronomical calculations that the beginning of the Age of Aquarius is demonstrated. Moreover, on that day and at that hour, Sadalmelik “appears” on the Tatev pillar, at the “eye” of the 63rd observatory of Carahunge, in the openings of the right window of Vorotnavank, and in the altar apertures of other Armenian centrally domed cross-shaped churches aligned with stellar orientations. This means that since time immemorial, Armenian cosmological thought possessed column-based macro-cosmology with such depth and precision that, for future generations, numerous star-aligned structures were established throughout the Armenian world. These structures, with great precision and astronomical responsibility, are capable of revealing once again the ancient, now-lost Armenian cosmic awareness—the “lost” breath, rhythm, tempo, and harmony of the Universe. Let us not digress. The next important event occurs at 13:00, when during its transit the Sun appears at the exact center of the cosmic cross—the coordinate grid—with declination 0 and altitude 0°. On that day, there is also another significant astronomical beginning: the start of the “Aghtark,” that is, the zodiacal cycle. I should also add that, in addition to astronomy, for years we have been observing the biological and bio-informational (biofield) changes on these astronomically and calendrically significant days, using various instruments—especially devices such as the “Bioscope” and “Speklaskop.” Each time, astronomical events are confirmed by fundamental bio-informational changes. Finally, one very important note: the vernal equinox, which is also the day marking the beginning of the “Aghtark,” should not be confused with the Armenian traditional calendar New Year, Navasard, which represents the fundamental point of time calculation with stellar (fixed) precision. Another important reminder: the Sun advances annually ahead of the stars by 11 minutes and 14 seconds and therefore is not a “stable” luminary for timekeeping. For this reason, all “solar” calendars have in fact been “moving” systems, accumulating surplus days over time and eventually falling out of use. As for the vernal equinox, due to the Sun’s “instability,” its date has varied across different periods—March 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and so on. In other words, if other crucial factors are not taken into account, adopting that day as the beginning of the year is, at the very least, a result of ignorance, as noted by the medieval calendrical scholar Hakob Ghrimetsi.
