Cycle of the sun.
365 days of year and 64 hexagrams i-ching.

Cycle of the sun is an annual circle of solar movement which makes 365 days.
The book of Changes i-ching contains 64 hexagrams. Each hexagram is approximately 6 days of solar movement provided that four hexagrams correspond to days of solstices and equinoxes, and one day has no conformity with hexagrams of the Book of Changes. Namely to 1st, 2nd, 63rd, 64th hexagrams there correspond four days of solstices and equinoxes, and to other hexagrams there correspond 6 days of an annual solar cycle for everyone. Total to 64 hexagrams there correspond 364 days of solar movement, and one day has no conformity and refers to empty. To the empty day there corresponds date August, 31.
Per leap-years (bissextile years) two days of an annual solar cycle have no conformity with hexagrams of the Book of Changes i-ching and two days are empty. To these days there correspond dates February, 29 and August, 31.

scheme of annual movement of the sun or calendar cycle of one year Figure shows the scheme of annual movement of the sun or otherwise to tell a calendar cycle of one year.
December, 22nd is the beginning of winter and a winter solstice that is connected with 1st hexagram which symbolizes a winter condition of the nature.
March, 21st is the beginning of spring and a spring equinox that is connected with 64th hexagram which symbolizes a spring condition of the nature.
June, 21st is the beginning of summer and a summer solstice that is connected with 2nd hexagram which symbolizes a summer condition of the nature.
September, 23rd is the beginning of autumn and an autumn equinox that is connected with 63rd hexagram which symbolizes an autumn condition of the nature.

Thus annual cycle of the sun is made with four seasons.
To each season there corresponds one ring of hexagrams i-ching (ring of emotions) and there corresponds one quarter of the magic square. In detail information about the magic square look in conjectural game, and about rings of hexagrams i-ching look in circles of emotions.

To winter season there corresponds first quarter of the magic square and first ring of hexagrams.
To spring season there corresponds third quarter of the magic square and third ring of hexagrams.
To summer season there corresponds fourth quarter of the magic square and fourth ring of hexagrams.
To autumn season there corresponds second quarter of the magic square and second ring of hexagrams.
To each season there correspond 16 hexagrams among which one hexagram corresponds to day of a solstice or an equinox, and 15 hexagrams are connected to the six-day periods of appropriate season. Namely one hexagram determines the beginning of a season, and 15 hexagrams measure the six-day periods of this season.
The sequence of hexagrams during seasons corresponds to sequence in rings provided that the sequence in rings is read counter-clockwise. And also provided that numerical values of hexagrams are resulted in the figure above and in the calendar, that differs from serial numbers which are known in the Book of Changes i-ching.
For example, the winter season begins on December, 22nd that corresponds to hexagram i-ching with numerical value 1, and six days from December, 23rd till December, 28th correspond to hexagram i-ching with numerical value 63 and so on during a season everyone hexagram measures six days. Or the spring season begins on March, 21st that corresponds to hexagram i-ching with numerical value 42, and days from March, 17th till March, 23rd correspond to hexagram i-ching with numerical value 61.
Provided that hexagrams with numerical values 1 and 63 have serial numbers 1 and 14. And similarly hexagrams with numerical values 42 and 61 have serial numbers 64 and 33 if to look serial numbers in the Book of Changes i-ching.
In a similar way hexagrams i-ching are compared to calendar dates of one year in the offered solar calendar, and also calendar dates are compared to physiognomic symbols which correspond with hexagrams that allows to use the offered calendar together with the magic game board and magic playing cards for realization of predictions (divinations of card-reading). As the sequence hexagrams in the calendar is sequence of hexagrams in rings of physiognomic symbols, and rings are connected with the magic square of the magic game board. Namely it is possible to adhere realization of the predicted events to dates of the solar calendar cycle.
Or the offered calendar can be used for divinations of natural processes which are in dependence from movement of the sun. In particular it is possible to use for divinations of the weather phenomena. Namely hexagrams i-ching and physiognomic symbols in this case symbolize not emotional displays of human mentality but the natural phenomena (it is possible to speak about emotional conditions of the nature).
Also it is possible to use the offered calendar for divinations of agricultural periods which are directly connected with movement of the sun and conditions of the nature.
But it is necessary to consider that ratio of hexagrams i-ching with calendar dates are connected with sequence of hexagrams in rings (physiognomic or emotional rings), but configurations of rings can be different and consequently it is necessary to coordinate rings of hexagrams with real natural processes in that district for which divinations of natural phenomena are necessary. Namely it is necessary to coordinate rings with natural processes and weather phenomena which exist in concrete district. As a matter of fact configurations of hexagrams in rings can be coordinated with any physical natural phenomena of a life which occur within solar year if divinations of such phenomena are required.

In the end of this page it is necessary to tell that in the ancient world there were known calendars which consisted of 364 days that differs from 365 days of solar year but absolutely precisely corresponds with rings of hexagrams i-ching. In particular calendar of the Qumran religious community which existed in Palestin on coast of the Dead Sea.
The information about calendar of the Qumran religious community look on pages of other website: www.numeralgame.64g.ru/numtr/numtr7en.htm
Calendar the Qumran religious community consisted of 364 days, and has been divided into 4 seasons of 90 days and one day in the end of each season that is comparable to 4 rings of hexagrams i-ching. Namely 90 days correspond with 15 hexagrams if to everyone there correspond 6 days 15x6=90, and one hexagram corresponds with last day a season, and in aggregate 4 rings of hexagrams form the calendar duration of 364 days.
And also step pyramid of Kukulkan in Mexico was an original architectural calendar which consisted of 364 days that is comparable with hexagrams i-ching in rings. As each side of pyramid Kukulkan has 91 steps that is equal to quantity of days in four seasons 91x4=364. Namely to everyone hexagram i-ching there correspond 6 steps of pyramid Kukulkan that is possible to compare to 6 lines, and four hexagrams have ratio only with one step on each side of pyramid.
