What is more fundamental to earthly time than the rotation of the earth and its orbit around the Sun. From there it follows that the cycles of the other planets may also be important. I don't see how any of this is arbitrary. Isn't it amazing, for example, that Jupiter's cycle is 12 years and there are 12 lunations in a year? The cycle of Uranus is 84 which is 12 x 7. There's also a subtle mathematical relationship between 12 and 7. 12 = 3 x 4, 7 = 3 + 4. You have to have eyes to see these patterns.

True. > From there it follows that the cycles of the other planets may also be important. Not particularly, no. > Isn't it amazing, for example, that Jupiter's cycle is 12 years and there are 12 lunations in a year? The cycle of Uranus is 84 which is 12 x 7. There's also a subtle mathematical relationship between 12 and 7. 12 = 3 x 4, 7 = 3 + 4. You have to have eyes to see these patterns. None of that is amazing in the slightest, and your base numerology won't make it amazing. You can find coincidences everywhere if your definitions are loose enough.
