at the end of each 52 year there was a period of 13 intercalary days, which served to bring the calendar into line this period was called the festival of the new fire. during the 5 days of the last nemontemi period of the last year in the 52 year cycle, all the fires were extinguished in the temples and homes, furniture, domestic utensils and statues of gods were broken and left in disarray around the home. on the last night of nemontemi the people were in fear of their lives because they believed that if the world was destroyed again it would be during this period. at midnight the temple priests lit the new fires and the people returned home to clean up the mess that they had left. for the whole of the 13 intercalary days the people celebrated their good fortune and breathed a sigh of relief. this was not an unlucky period in which to be born but as there are no day signs for this period it is impossible to give a more complete horoscope.
