Cesidian calendar

New calendar conceived by Cesidio Tallini, and having 14 months. The calendar has generated other cultural offshoots like a Martian calendar, as well as a new astrology and astronomy. The Cesidian calendar is superior to the Gregorian calendar in many ways.

Week

There are 7 days in a Cesidian calendar week, as well as 2 irregular or special days:

Cesidian calendar week
Day of the Week	Abbreviation	Notes
Jeuday *	Φ	Pronounced "Jew-day", from the French jeudi + the English day. The French jeudi in turn comes from the Latin Jovis Dies, meaning "Jupiter's Day". Also known as "Messiah Day", it is the Cesidian Sabbath. In 2020 the Cesidian Sabbath will fall on Gregorian Thursdays.
Saturnday †	Χ	Day of Saturn	(first day of work)
Uranday	Δ	Day of Uranus	(day devoted to projects, inventions, high technology)
Neptunday ‡	Ψ	Day of Neptune	(day devoted to dreaming, prayer, contemplation)
Plutoday	Ρ	Day of Pluto	(day of sex or sharing, and day for honouring holy souls among the dead)
Mercuday	Μ	Day of Mercury	(day devoted to letter, article, or essay writing, to communications in general)
Venusday	Π	Day of Venus	(day devoted to beauty, harmony, love, affection, shopping and hedonism)
Earthday/Marsday	Τ/Γ	Irregular days: Earthday is the last day of the year, and Marsday is a Leap Year Day. Day of Earth, and Day of Mars. The first has the same symbolism as the popular environmental "Earthday", and the second is actually a day devoted to peace, not to war.

* Jeuday originally was "Juday", coming from the English Jupiter + day. It was changed to Jeuday on April 20, 2006 (P:06E2006), which comes from the French jeudi + the English day, on the suggestion of linguist Adalbert Kowal. He made the interesting observation that the French form for "Jupiter's Day" was better, since it alludes to the Ludi Romani, a religious festival in ancient Rome held to the honour of Jupiter, whose temple was dedicated on 13 September 509 BC. The French form of the word not only is a derivative of the Latin Jovis Dies ("Jupiter's Day"), but also alludes to the fact that "Jupiter's day" in Rome, jeudi in French, was a big dies ludi, a day when a great variety of state-funded entertainments that were available for all. This was clearly more suggestive of the Sabbath function of this day in the Cesidian calendar, and so the change to the French form of the word seemed more apt.
† Saturnday originally was "Saturday", but was changed to Saturnday on April 16, 2006 (J:02E2006) to differentiate it from the Gregorian day which also stands for the Sabbath of the Jews and several Christian sects. The Italian "sabato" and the Interlingua "sabbato" were also changed to differentiate the Cesidian second day of the week from the Jewish Sabbath ("Seventh Day" in Hebrew).
‡ Originally was "Neptuday", but was changed to Neptunday on July 13, 2005 (P:12H2005), thanks to an intelligent multilingual suggestion by Alberto Mardegan.

Months

The Cesidian Months, on the other hand, are 14:

* Montessori originally was "Muhammad", but month's name was changed to Montessori on December 2, 2005 (V:24M2005), through a calendar reform process. This became necessary to avoid serious problems that may have occurred through extensive Cesidian calendar use.

Years

The years are assumed to start on January 1 of the Gregorian calendar and the same year numbering system is used. This caused the Jeuday to occur on Sunday in 2006 and 2017.

* Jeuday originally was "Juday", "giovedì", and "jovedi" in English, Italian, and Interlingua respectively, but was changed to Jeuday, giudì, and jeudi on April 20, 2006 (P:06E2006) to the French form of the Jovis Dies ("Jupiter's Day") on the suggestion of linguist Adalbert Kowal, since this the French jeudi also alludes to "Jupiter's Day" being a dies ludi during Roman times, a day when a great variety of state-funded entertainments that were available for all. This was clearly more suggestive of the Sabbath function of this day in the Cesidian calendar, and so the change to the French form of the word seemed more apt. The English Jeuday and the Italian giudì are respectively Anglicised and Italianised forms of the French jeudi, while the Interlingua form jeudi, is straight from the French.

Use of Cesidian calendar today

Today the Cesidian calendar is used primarily by Cesidians.

Cesidians practise Cesidianism, which is not a religion. Cesidianism is an interdisciplinary set of concepts or thought patterns, including distinct and verified theories, research methods, postulates, and standards, so Cesidianism is a new paradigm in its own right. More precisely, Cesidianism is a spiritual, theological, legal, philosophical and scientific paradigm, while religions are mainly mythological, legal, and sometimes ethical paradigms, and unfortunately they exist primarily because they help, or assist, those in power — rarely actual aristocrats, because today these have degenerated into mere plutocrats.

The Cesidian calendar has also produced cultural offshoots, from a Martian calendar; to Bucksfanian astrology (a 14-sign tropical astrology system); to the Cyberterra Mean Time (CMT) format, which is a combination of Cesidian calendar date and "millidays" — similar to Swatch Internet Time. It should be noted that the Cyberterra Mean Time standard, on the other hand, is simply the UTC + 1 hour standard, with no daylight saving or summer time observed throughout the year.

There used to be a system of multi-faith holidays in use with the Cesidian calendar, but since certain aspects of Christianity were discovered to be complete fabrications, and thus no more respectable than Graeco-Roman pagan myths, currently only Cesidian holidays, fasts, and Homomessianic saint days are observed through the Cesidian calendar.

It should be noted that Cyberterra Mean Time (CMT) — unlike the Biel Mean Time (BMT) system which was proposed by the Swiss company Swatch — is actually based on the Cyberterra Meridian, a place whose GEO coordinates are 43°0'0" North and 15°0'0" East. This corresponds to an actual point on the Earth's surface, which despite being in the middle of the Adriatic Sea, has actually been visited in the past by humans.
