SATURN IS EXPERIENCING THE OPPOSITION EFFECT: On Oct. 4th, Saturn will be at opposition–directly opposite the sun in the sky. Opposition does something marvelous to Saturn’s rings. It causes them to brighten dramatically.
The phenomenon is called “The Opposition Effect,” and Maximilian-Vlad Teodorescu of Magurele, Romania, caught it in action:
The much-anticipated cosmic event — the nova of T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), the “Blaze Star” (SETI Institute Cosmic Cataclysms program)
News from a round before… NASA, Jun 06, 2024: NASA, Global Astronomers Await Rare Nova Explosion, an event that repeats itself every 80 years. Some researchers say, the nova event could occur by September 2024.
Astronomers are still waiting. The forecast was updated to March 2025, then November 2025. A new star is expected to appear in the Northern Crown (Corona Borealis). It could still “could happen any day” since 2024. When the new star reappears it will shine as bright as Polaris, the North Star.
The Star of Bethlehem was a cosmic event. Astronomers and theologians are still debating the source. Some suggest it may have been a nova (an exploding star) or a comet.
Astronomers often hypothesize that the biblical star wasn’t a single star at all, but rather a rare, bright alignment of planets. A famous pairing of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation Pisces occurred around 7 B.C., while an incredibly bright alignment of Venus and Jupiter occurred in 2 B.C. (Astronomy.com)
We’re called to watch for the Signs Above and Below that the Day of the Lord is near.
Matthew 24:36 KJV
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Earth wasn’t complete until it was was given its place and set into perpetual motion. It’s orbit around the Sun is an integral part of Earth’s identity. Human was set into motion on Earth. Movement is a Sign of Life. The Maya tracked the orbits of all heavenly bodies that circle the Sun. Human’s orbit was defined by our gestation cycle of 260 Days. The Divine Order established in the womb repeats itself every 260 Days.
The Tzolk’in tracks each orbit by the divine order established in the beginning. We complete the creation of a lifetime by the Creator’s cycle of 7. The first 7 years completed our childhood. The second 7 years completed our adolescent life. The third 7 years marked the completion of an adult Human Being. By 21 years of age our frontal lobe offers the capability of discernment of the Truth, beyond the tangible limits of our 5 senses.
Matthew 26:41 KJV
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
The Harvest Moon is the Sign of our Highest Ascension. Jesus predicted the future. He said that the disciples would be scattered, even as they declared their Faith.
Matthew 26:33 KJV
33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [g]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”
34 Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And so said all the disciples.
Jesus called for the Apostles to watch and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. Now, as it was before, we are called to watch and pray without ceasing.
This is a special Harvest Moon. The Moon will appear to be Full for 3 Days.
“The equinox gives the Harvest Moon a special power: It rises near sunset for several nights in a row.” (Spaceweather.com, 09/26/2026 explains it.) It’s closer to the equinox than usual: only 3.7 days later. The Harvest Moon can land as far as 15 days from the equinox. In the last decade, only 2018 (2.0 days) and 2021 (1.8 days) came closer than 2026.
Last year’s Harvest Moon was also special as it fell at its farthest extreme, 15 days after the equinox. In 2025 the Harvest Moon peaked on the night of October 6, 2025, cresting fully at 11:48 p.m. ET (3:48 UTC on October 7). It was a Supermoon—the first of four consecutive supermoons in late 2025—appearing roughly 14% larger and 30% brighter than a standard full moon. So did stargazers see Saturn shining close to the moon during the peak nights. (EarthSky.org)
Saturn was considered the Ancient Sun that Ruled by the Law of the Old Testament. The Christ Spirit is symbolized by Venus as the One who fulfilled the Law and replaced it by the Commandment to Love.

THE BEST HARVEST MOON IN FIVE YEARS: There’s something special about this weekend’s full Moon. It’s a Harvest Moon–closer to the autumnal equinox than any other full Moon of the past 5 years.
Acts 27:29 KJV
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Anchoring from the bow (front) is standard practice to let a ship ride out a storm. Maritime historians have noted that dropping anchors from the stern was a brilliant tactical decision. By anchoring from the stern, the front of the ship remained pointed toward the shore until daylight came. When morning came, they simply had to cut the anchor lines, raise the front sail, and let the wind drive them safely to shore.
Chaos is the Sign of a Major Change in progress. We can weather the storm by anchoring our vessel to face into Source of Light that will reveal the Truth and the Way. When morning comes we will be in position to see clearly.

EQUINOX AURORAS: Last night was a great example of the Russell-McPherron Effect at work. There was no geomagnetic storm, yet many observers witnessed auroras anyway. John David McKinnon photographed this bright green curtain over Four Mile Lake, Alberta, Canada:

Exodus 20:3-5 KJV
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
God had a plan for our creation. Love is the Force of Light that Gives us a Reason for Living.
Genesis 1: 11-13 KJV
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

AURORAS LOVE EQUINOXES: Autumn begins this week, and so does aurora season. The northern autumnal equinox is today, Sept. 22nd. That is the cue for Arctic lights to switch on.
The reason is the Russell-McPherron effect. In 1973, UCLA researchers Christopher Russell and Robert McPherron figured out why geomagnetic activity has seasons. During the days and weeks around equinoxes, Earth’s tilt lines up our planet’s magnetic field with the sun’s, and the two fields connect. This creates pathways and portals in the magnetosphere where solar wind can enter.
