Regardless of its much-disputed, quasi-historical origins,
"April Fool's Day" commences the (revised) Roman calendar
second month Aprilis, probably cognate to Aphrodite, but
certainly the second Roman calendar month which overlaps
the tropical month of Taurus, the inferior reign of Venus,
during which the Moon exalts (symbolized as the "horns" or
the prominent new crescent adorning the head of the Bull).
Similarly, realize that the calendar month of October was
so-named because it was (originally) designated to be the
eighth month of the Roman calendar year; hence Sept-ember,
Oct-ober, Nov-ember, Dec-ember, etc. Calendars were calcu-
lated, years in advance, in order that the second or third
week of each month would ingress or overlap the tropical-
zodiacal month of that same planetary rulership.
E.g., the surprise attack on the World Trade Center "9/11"
of 2001, would be 7/11, September being the seventh month
i.e. counting from Mars, the month of the vernal equinox.
Notably all Roman calendar months, with the lone exception
of February (called the month of the "infernal gods", time
for consulting the oracles regarding the forecast for wars,
crops, kings, etc.), assured at least one Full Moon by or
before the thirtieth day thereof, each month being thirty
or thirty-one days except February. This was for religious
purposes (the Gods of heaven being devoutly worshipped and
honored in ancient times--*unlike* today). And occasionally,
a "Blue Moon", in the modern sense defined as an infrequent
second Full Moon of any month except February, would light
up the night sky. But most months see only one Full Moon.
So the orthodox claim that the Roman calendar ignores the
Moon entirely is actually false; rather it's accommodating
of the Moon's synodic phases, just not dependent on them.
And while the Moon enjoys exaltation all during the calendar
month of April, though more precisely throughout the tropical
zodiacal month of Taurus, all during the same month, Ouranos,
(Rom. Uranus), the God of Earth's caelestial firmament, is
debilitate, meaning benign, facile, harmless, unconscious,
asleep at the wheel, so to speak. Hence, April's fools, the
sacrilegious, albeit for them unconsciously at best, imagine
themselves to have "carte blanche" to defy Ouranos en masse.
Ouranos is the God of the sermon or commandment "thou shalt
not bear false witness against thy neighbor". Thus, whether
anyone is consciously aware of this or not, it follows that
those who don't take God's Ten Commandments seriously would
deliberately concoct and spread lies, and disinformation, on
the first day of April, as if God's Universal Law is nothing
more than a "practical joke". These same irreverent heathens
do bear false witness, misinform, and mislead, all year long.
"non loqueris contra proximum
not you shall speak against the neighbor
tuum falsum testimonium"
of yours false testimony.--Exo 20:16
