Democrats want to implement a ban on military-style assault weapons in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shootings.
Several lawmakers and liberal pundits assert that certain guns--by their very existence--are a threat to human life.
Well. Why no similar outcry demanding an end to nuclear power--after four nuclear plant meltdowns at Fukushima?
Nuclear power plants, history has shown--by their very existence--are a threat to human life.
In fact, President Barack Obama sent officials to Japan to ensure that the Japanese government would continue to build new plants. There was no 'wall-to-wall' media coverage as the disasters unfolded at Fukushima, unlike the commercial-free coverage of the events that transpired at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Surely, thyroid cancer will kill far more than the twenty children who were among the twenty-six who perished in Newtown, Connecticut.
Yes, Sandy Hook was a 'mindless, senseless' tragedy. Ditto the Obama Administration's unabated--albeit hushed, so as not to offend the 'Left'--love affair with nuclear power and its Wall Street profiteers.
Throughout Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras are sacred sites
connected to the Mayans. One of their foremost centers was at
Chichen-Itza – in the Yucatan region of Mexico – where they built the
Pyramid of Kukulcan, otherwise known as the Plumed Serpent or, from the
Aztec language, Quetzalcoatl.
Tens of thousands of pilgrims from around the world still travel to
the Pyramid of Kukulcan at the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere
to witness an event of light and shadow – orchestrated by the Sun and
the Pyramid – to reveal the undulating body and head of a
feathered-serpent deity that the Mayans associated with the planet
Venus.
Most authors and researchers on the subject of the 5125-year Mayan
“Long Count” believe that our Western calendar date of December 21,
2012, signifies the end of that lengthy time-period.* What happens after the “end”
is anyone’s guess – although a large outpouring of books on the subject
focus on the “End of the World” (possibly induced by increased solar
flares and coronal mass ejections frying our delicate atmosphere on
Earth and/or causing massive power grids malfunctions and/or cataclysmic
weather events and/or a possible pole shift!) or the “Beginning of a
New World” of spiritual enlightenment.
What is undeniable to any rational, thinking individual is that a
giant collective “thought form” is being created within humanity focused
on the date of December 21, 2012. Regardless of whether anything
significant happens in the Latin American countries mentioned above on
that date – or anywhere on our planet – the consciousness of our species
is now looking forward to this date-experience-event as some kind of
celestial-global, Future Shock, potentially of epic proportions.
While
most astrological analysis pertains to looking at a birth chart from
the past, there is no reason why we cannot gaze ahead to an upcoming
month-day-year, time and place for answers as to whether the human race
fizzles out, keeps chugging along at its current pace or receives a
cosmic jolt to become a more compassionate species on Spaceship Earth.
With this in mind, a chart is shown here for sunrise (6:30am CST) on
the morning of December 21, 2012 in Chichen-Itza, Mexico. Several of the
key alignments happening – at that moment and in that place – are going
to be discussed below. In addition, a Mayan Calendar of dates will be
presented and updated in the months ahead – pointing out major cycles
(transits) activating this potentially transformational end/beginning of
our modern civilization. It is our hope that you return to Inner Sight
frequently to “catch the wave” of alignments that will “turn on” this
chart and help you understand the shape of things to come regarding the
end/beginning of the Mayan Calendar.
The Sun and Juno Rise Together at the Winter Solstice
Imagine the December 21, 2012, phenomenon as a creator-child of
humanity being born – a talismanic symbol of how we complete one long
cycle of history and start another one. Remember that a chart is much
more than a two-dimensional document or piece of paper; it represents a
picture of the living cosmos wherein the Sun, Moon, planets, asteroids
and other celestial objects interact within the aura-like
electro-magnetic field of whatever is struggling to incarnate in our
world.
When the Sun rises on December 21, 2012 (the day of the Winter
Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere – a sacred turning point of any
year), it is not alone. The smallest of the first four
asteroids discovered between 1801 and 1807 – Juno – is in a union with
our solar orb. This immediately brings up the qualities of the need for
peace on earth, respect for all living things, and that fairness and
equality should be the essence of the day itself. On a mundane level,
Juno equates with diplomacy, justice and fair treatment under the law.
When misused or ignored, Juno can signify atmospheric disturbances,
angry outbursts, and rage by the disempowered and dispossessed.
Juno also signifies elegance and beauty, and she was worshipped by
the ancient Romans as the Goddess of Childbirth. Thus, the Sun appearing
with Juno at dawn on December 21, 2012 is a direct connection to the
idea that something profound, beautiful – and feminine – is seeking
birth into our way of life.
Neptune Joins Forces with the Sun and Juno
Adding its spiritual weight to the December 21, 2012, event is
far-out, mystical Neptune – located at the first degree of Pisces and
making a supportive and nearly-exact 60-degree rapport with both the Sun
and Juno. Neptune – the second of the three outer planets and
discovered in 1846 – is often associated with mass-consciousness events
and sweeping trends that affect generations and large groups of people
around the world.
Neptune in 2012 is making its first appearance in Pisces – a sign it
is said to rule in astrology – in 165 years. The association of Neptune
and Pisces with the rising energy of Sun-Juno in Capricorn is to align
the elemental powers of water (psychic sensitivity; imagination;
inspiration) with the elemental powers of earth (attunement to the land,
nature, and mineral kingdom).
If a collective vision for a mobilized, spiritually-infused humanity
is to take place on December 21, 2012, the coordination between Neptune,
the Sun and Juno on this date may be the primary reason why this
occurs.
Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto form a Finger-of-God, Yod Triangle
While the linkage of the three celestial bodies just mentioned is
deeply ingrained on this future date, another crucial trinity is
announcing its presence. There is what is called a Yod or Finger-of-God
triangle formed by Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Saturn in Scorpio, and
Pluto in Capricorn. While the Sun, Juno and Neptune interaction is
super-strong on December 21 itself, the Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto unusual
triangle starts happening several hours before sunrise on December 21,
continues into the following day, and concludes on December 26 – just
after Christmas Day.
What is a Yod and what kind of energy-field and potential magic does
it contain? A Yod is composed of two alignments measuring 150 degrees
and one alignment measuring 60 degrees. In total, the 360 degrees of the
complete zodiacal circle are covered. When the pattern is nearly exact –
as this one is since the three key planets are all activating the ninth
degree of their respective signs – it has extra power and significance
to change consciousness within humanity.
Jupiter and Saturn are the most watched of the bigger planets going
back almost 3000 years to the Chaldean and Babylonian civilizations
hundreds of years before the start of the Christian era. They unite in
the sky approximately every 20 years, and their conjunctions, squares
and oppositions have been studied and researched by countless
generations of professional astrologers. They are planets that have much
to do with our religious, philosophical, social, educational, business
and professional life, work and experiences.
Pluto has only been known and analyzed since its discovery on
February 18, 1930, by Clyde Tombaugh in Flagstaff, Arizona. It has a
meaning that is associated with the creator and destroyer principles,
mysteries, secrets, the underworld, atomic-nuclear energy, spiritual
willpower, repressed emotions, and the conception of children and new
worlds.
It may very well be more important that the December 2012 Mayan
Calendar event is drawing our attention to this cosmic triangle of
Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto than to any intrinsic cultural essence connected
back to the vanished race of the Mayans in the Mesoamerican region of
the Earth.
With Jupiter retrograde in Gemini and located in the sixth house, one
keynote of the cosmic triangle is the urge to communicate (Gemini) a
higher and larger truth (Jupiter) within humanity. Saturn in Scorpio in
the eleventh house – receiving one of the two 150-degree aspects from
Jupiter – appears to signify a mysterious and in-depth transformation
(Scorpio) that can restructure (Saturn) human potential. Pluto in
Capricorn in the first house – receiving the other 150-degree aspect
from Jupiter – portends an earthly conception of a new humanity, but one
probably based on the extinguishing of old fears, hatreds and
animosities simmering in the subliminal realms of the collective human
psyche.
No one knows precisely how a Yod or Finger-of-God triangle works. You
can utilize the planetary archetypes in a low, middle or high way. It
is up to you to tap into the finest levels of awareness associated with
Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in order that a celestial trinity of Goodwill
(Jupiter), Discipline (Saturn) and Spiritual Purpose (Pluto) find a
residence in your heart chakra as you proceed toward the December 21,
2012, event and its aftermath.
The Moon, Vesta and Mercury Form Another Triangle
A less significant and yet still highly relevant triangle occurs if
you see the connection happening from the Moon at 15 degrees of Aries in
the fourth house to Vesta at 15 degrees of Gemini in the sixth house
along with Mercury at 15 degrees of Sagittarius in the twelfth house. It
is not often that – on the same day and at the same time – two cosmic
triangles will be nearly precise in the heavens.
Mercury opposite Vesta – the main dynamic in the Moon-Vesta-Mercury
triangle – signifies that the Eternal Flame archetypes imbedded within
the Vesta realm are being matched with the Messenger of the Gods
archetypes imbedded within the Mercury realm. These two celestial bodies
stand for much more, but the concepts of the Eternal Flame of Ancient
Temple magic and the Winged Messenger that communicates divine ideas to
humanity are a profound part of our heritage as a species evolving on
Earth.
The lunar placement in bold, fiery Aries seeks to anchor the Eternal
Flame and Winged Messenger energy into our chakras on December 21, 2012.
You will see that the Part of Fortune is united with the Moon and this
always occurs every day at sunrise. The Part of Fortune can almost be
considered the Ascendant of the Moon – a “Path of Happiness” in
accordance with the astrological insights of the eminent 20th
century astrologer Dane Rudhyar. Remember, too, that the Moon feels
very much at home in the fourth house of roots, traditions, heritage and
history– a house placement that the Moon traditionally rules.
Venus and Pallas Energize Heart and Mind
While you are seeking to juggle around Sun-Juno-Neptune,
Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto, and Moon-Vesta-Mercury triangles in your heart and
mind, you should also embrace the following: Venus in Sagittarius in
the twelfth house forms a flowing trine to Uranus in Aries in the third
house; Pallas in Pisces in house number three forms a flowing trine to
the Lunar North Node in Scorpio in the eleventh house; Pallas is also
square to the largest asteroid Ceres – moving retrograde, like Jupiter
and Vesta, in Gemini in the sixth house.
Venus – the key planet associated with the Mayan culture – has
prominence because it is bringing through the higher dreams and visions
always associated with the loftiest meaning of any twelfth house
placement. Venus in a fire sign – and in a harmonious, 120-degree
rapport with revolutionary change-agent Uranus in fiery Aries – reveals
that a new understanding of the Mayan way of life, death and
transfiguration wants to happen on December 21, 2012. Plus – there can
be a new articulation of these Mayan themes (part of the meaning of
Sagittarius and the grouping of planets in the third house) in new
books, articles and media reports once the December 21, 2012, event has
come and gone.
Pallas has much to do with problem-solving, strategy sessions,
research, genius, and the strength or weakness of the human immune
system. For this key asteroid to be in harmony with both the North and
South Nodes of the Moon is to indicate that many fine minds on Planet
Earth should be able to “solve the problem” highlighted by Mayan
Prophecy once this date happens – that answers from the universe should
be forthcoming and be able to be put in features and stories that human
beings around the globe can assimilate in the months and years to follow
the December 21, 2012.
However, Pallas and Ceres are in a close conflict – being square or
90-degrees apart within less than 1 degree. Does a square have to be
negative? Not necessarily. Any square is based on dividing the zodiacal
circle by the number four, and that means that work must be
done to make the alignment useful and helpful. Pallas in Pisces square
to Ceres in Gemini could signify that ingenious answers (Pallas) about
the need to nurture the Earth and Mother Nature (Ceres) will arrive in
abundance within the collective consciousness of humanity on this
stellar day.
Mars in Capricorn Links to Ceres in Gemini Via 150-Degrees
Let us not forget the red planet Mars – exalted and extra potent in
Capricorn at 27 degrees and in the first house. It forms a very close,
150-degree liaison with Ceres while also connecting to Pallas by a much
more supportive and engaging 60-degree link. Mars always has a capacity
to create volatility, emotional disturbances and even bloodshed. One
hopes that forces working against higher human transformation don’t try
to use the December 21, 2012 date to create deliberate acts of carnage
on Earth. The fact that Mars is said to be exalted in Capricorn may
raise the Mars vibrations to a level at which they are more passionate
for the good than destructive as a shadow force seeking to bring us
down.
Chiron – The Wounded Healer – Makes its Presence Known
All the main celestial bodies have been mentioned in this brief
overview except for one – the comet-like body known as Chiron,
discovered in 1977 and acting as a bridge between the old solar system
(Sun to Saturn) and the new solar system (extending outward to Pluto and
beyond in the Kuiper Belt). Chiron orbits the Sun between Saturn and
Uranus, and has an approximate 49 to 51 year cycle through the zodiac.
Chiron is often associated with the twilight zone (the strange realm
between chronological time and eternity), maverick and catalyst
principles, and the dynamics of holistic healing and alternative
medicine.
Chiron at 6 degrees of Pisces is rather active on December 21, 2012
as it trines Saturn, forms a supportive, 60-degree tie to distant Pluto,
and is at the fulcrum of a T-Square pattern involving Venus opposite
Jupiter. Notice that Chiron is in the third house and close to the cusp
itself.
Perhaps the function of Chiron on this important day is to act in
accordance with its name – as a wounded healer, sage and shaman,
dispensing out loving, enlightened thoughts and prayers to humanity in
deep need of soul-spiritual renewal. In this sense, each one of us
becomes a living, breathing Chiron-agent provocateur – ready and eager
to jump-start a new Mayan Long Count no matter what the doomsayers may
be forecasting.
Alternate Dates, the Nuclear Axis, and Jupiter and Saturn in 2020
*It is important to note that some authors may provide other dates
than December 21, 2012, as the be-all and most-important end/beginning
of the Mayan Calendar Long Count. One such author – Carl Johan Calleman,
in his fantastic book The Mayan Calendar – points to October
28, 2011, as the key date. If something out-of-this-world and
earth-shattering happens on or very close to October 28, 2011, we will
certainly report on that (assuming the world wide web is still in
existence).
Another arena of life – more connected to science, weaponry and
energy resources – may link up with the Mayan Calendar event in
December, 2012. Back in 1982 – 1983, I discovered that the most
important atomic-nuclear explosions and disasters, as well as treaties
and negotiations, occurred when one or more celestial bodies were
located in a rather narrow zone between approximately 7 and 11 degrees
of Gemini and Sagittarius. This came from my in-depth study of the First
Nuclear Chain Reaction birth chart from the afternoon of December 2,
1942, in Chicago, Illinois when Enrico Fermi and his team of researchers
gave birth to our current Nuclear Era.
The close Venus-Jupiter polarity on December 21, 2012, will ignite
the Saturn-Sun opposition that existed in the zodiac when the Nuclear
Era began in December, 1942. We just experienced the U.S. Senate
ratifying the Start Treaty with Russia on December 22, 2010, after
considerable controversy and debate. This happened with the asteroid
Vesta exactly on the Sun placement from the birth of the Nuclear Era,
and Vesta has much to do with safety and security measures – personally,
nationally and globally.
The Mercury-Vesta polarity on December 21, 2012, will also be almost
precisely aligned with Venus in the Nuclear Era chart. Therefore, 4
celestial bodies at the Mayan Calendar event will be linking their
potent vibrations with the energy-field that gave us both nuclear energy
for peaceful purposes as well as nuclear energy for warfare and
destruction on a devastating scale.
President Obama has staked out territory where he wants to be an
eminent world leader in the eradication of all nuclear weapons in the
future. This can only happen through highly-sensitive diplomacy – a
function of the asteroid Juno. Recall that at the Mayan Calendar event
at sunrise December 21, 2012, the Sun and Juno will rise together at the
first degree of Capricorn. President Obama is born when the only
stationary body in his chart is Juno – a signal from the cosmos that one
of his main missions in life is to be a Treaty Master, a diplomacy
expert, who creates harmony and balance between and among apparent
enemies. Whether he is re-elected for a second term or not in November,
2012, he may still be trying to hammer out deals with rival nations
concerning nuclear-atomic energy in December, 2012, when the Mayan
Calendar event takes place.
Eight years or one octave exactly after the December 21, 2012, Mayan
Calendar event, another very significant cosmic alignment takes place: Jupiter merging with Saturn at the first degree of Aquarius on December 21, 2020, on the Winter Solstice day of that year.
This is not just any Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, but the start of a
long series of Jupiter-Saturn unions, approximately every 20 years, in
air signs – continuing into the 22nd
century. This is part of a Great Mutation cycle regarding Jupiter and
Saturn – where these two largest planets in our solar system energize
each element of the zodiac (fire, earth, air and water) during a series
of unions, lasting often for 140 to 160 years and sometimes longer. The
December 21, 2020, event of Jupiter uniting with Saturn at 1 degree of
Aquarius shifts humanity’s consciousness from a cycle that began in 1842
in the earth element (materiality; money; physical resources) to the
air element (thinking; ideas; mental resources).
Could it be that the Mayan Calendar event of December 21, 2012 – if
it comes and goes without the destruction of our world – will actually
point to the beginning of a global renaissance starting 8 years later to the day
when Jupiter and Saturn activate the symbolic birthing point of
Aquarius – launching a series of decades that could constitute the
Dawning of the Age of Aquarius? Here is another mind-boggling
consideration to have in your consciousness as you study the upcoming
cycles activating the birth chart for sunrise in Chichen-Itza on
December 21, 2012.
