The Mago Almanac Planner for Personal Journey enchants people and our societies to live with a sense of the natural timespace patterned by the luni-solar-menstrual rhythm in company with the earth’s song and dance. This is not a statement of poetic fancy unsupported by science or mathematics. We are invited to walk through the matrix of Sonic Numerology, the organizing force of Life. The Mago Almanac: 13 month 28 day Magoist Calendar returns calendric regularity to moderns. Calendric regularity is the very vision that unfolds the metamorphic reality of WE/HERE/NOW. Unlike the 12 month irregular day calendar that modifies the natural rhythm to serve a particular artificial purpose, the Magoist Calendar guides human activities within the natural rhythm to harmonize the human world with the natural world. The Mago Almanac Planner is built to provide flesh to the bones of the Mago Almanac. As an extension of the latter, the Mago Almanac Planner partitions a year into the units of weeks and days and provides room for personal stories. The regularity of 28 days makes it possible to lay out 52 weeks and 364 days with one or two extra days seamlessly. The rhythm of nine numbers becomes transparent. Each day of a year is named accumulatively in order i.e. the 1st to 364th. Likewise, each week of a year is named accumulatively in order i.e. Week 1 to Week 52. Each day is indicated for the day's number, the moon phase, and/or 24 Seasonal Marks. Special days include such double dates as New Year (1st Moon 1st Day), double second (2nd Moon 2nd Day), double third (3rd Moon 3rd Day), and so forth. The Mago Almanac Planner makes it explicit the Double Ninth (9th Moon 9th day) overlaps, the 16th mark of 24 Seasonal Marks, Ipchu ( Entering Fall) or Lammas in the Northern Hemisphere. It illustrates that the day of Double Ninth is indeed the center point of a year! Also the interval of 24 Seasonal Marks is about every 15 days, whereas that of 8 Seasonal Marks is about every 45 days. Th
