Queen Millennia
Shin Taketori Monogatari Sennen Joó
Die Königin der Tausend Jahre
Toei Animation / manga basis: Reiji Matsumoto




The bible (and perhaps some other origins) read, that thousand human years are one divine year. Let's turn this around. Maybe these number are a picture and the symbol of thousand years is actually the many days in one human year. Maybe it's actually 365.2421589 - and maybe even far behind the point - days of the tropical year. This number doesn't seem perfect and it doesn't seem to be able to express the perfection of a deity. Therefore a 100 or a 1000 would be a more proper expression.

A solar year is a period of time. Not a thing. The queen time (female) of a solar year, according to traditions, can be not a day, but the night. Especially the longest night, today's christmas, originally sol invictus or last day of saturnalia festival, which is the night of the winter solstice. This night is allegorically considered as the birth of the sun, because from since the next morning the days will become longer and longer, until summer solstice.

That Queen Millennia resembles to Natascha*, her, who is born on christmas, is proven by her name Yukino. Japanese "Yuki" means snow or snowfall. Perhaps hence the meteorite shower in the picture. Besides, Yayoi is the name of the third month in some asiatic moon calendar, pisces by sun. Though, the number three gives us a clue to venus and Hajime with his telescope as a fishing rod, provides the least secret meaning of Tsaddi for The Star.

The black is the color of saturn, expressing also nescience and ignorance. Nescience is some sort of innocence. With ignorance it is a forced innocence. Black is opposed to white, the true innocence, as saturn is opposed to sun as the outermost traditional planet. Though, from at latest the sun itself you can't go more inward for more planets, while still some planets orbit us beyond saturn.

Yayoi's yellow hair is showing her fiery or fierce self-consciousness, forced by the thorned mars crown to follow the activities  that ascend on the hair's inner side from the mars colored sun below her left hand. Ecchi. Can only death break this vicious cycle?
