Human’s Closest Approach to the Sun
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is set to make a groundbreaking approach to the sun on December 24, 2024.
Traveling at a record-breaking speed of 430,000 mph (692,017.37 km/h), the spacecraft will become the closest human-made object to the sun, venturing just 3.8 million miles from its fiery surface.
This historic mission aims to “touch the sun,” uncovering secrets about the sun’s atmosphere and its effects on the Earth and solar system. The daring flyby on Christmas Eve is part of a final series of close approaches, pushing the boundaries of human exploration.
Navigating the Sun’s Intense Environment
The probe will cut through plumes of plasma rooted in the sun’s surface and may even pass through a solar eruption, akin to a surfer diving under a crashing wave. With the sun currently in its most turbulent phase of its 11-year cycle, the spacecraft will observe overlapping solar flares, providing scientists with up-close data on the chaotic workings of our star.

“This is one example of NASA’s bold missions, doing something that no one else has ever done before to answer longstanding questions about our universe,” said Arik Posner, Parker Solar Probe program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “We can’t wait to receive that first status update from the spacecraft and start receiving the science data in the coming weeks.”
Parker is now on course to fly just 3.8 million miles (around 6.1 million kilometers) from the surface of the Sun on Tuesday, Dec. 24, at 6:53 a.m. EST. During closest approach, or perihelion, mission operations will be out of contact with the spacecraft, and Parker will transmit another beacon tone on Friday, Dec. 27, to confirm its health following the close flyby.
“No human-made object has ever passed this close to a star, so Parker will truly be returning data from uncharted territory” said Nick Pinkine, Parker Solar Probe mission operations manager at APL. “We’re excited to hear back from the spacecraft when it swings back around the Sun.”

Mayan Time
8 Serpent/CHICCHAN is the Holy Observance of Serpentine Day, a celebration of the Consciousness of the Source of Divine Illumination. The symbol is correspondent with the Yod, which describes being “touched by God.” There’s a major synchronicity in the Mirror Reflection of the Above and the Below, when Human “touches back” tomorrow. Tomorrow is 9 Transformer/CIMI, a symbol of the Comforter. CIMI is the Sign of a Major Life Transition on the scale of life or death. CIMI the Comforter, Midwife, and Hospice Nurse is the Hand of the Holy Spirit that is always by our side. The once in our Human era’s exchange with the Sun is a Sign of Human Power. We’ll know the effects in about 3 Days, after the Parker Probe makes its pass around the Sun.
Serpent power is vital energy, the moving force, the instinct and desire for creativity, the trigger that sets off the action. It lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself.
The Yod is Truth shared by the Source that can’t be changed. God is the Divine Witness of Truth that can’t be changed, and the Word that bears its weight by the undeniable facts of a matter.


The Florentine Codex illustrates the Yod as Truth known by the Heart.
Yod is the Creator’s Truth that can’t be changed. Even the smallest letter of the Truth remains the same. The same symbol was represented by the Maya, the Egyptians, and the Hebrew letter.
Throughout history the Serpent has been a symbol of Divine Illumination, wisdom known beyond Human’s limit of discernment.

THE TRECENA OF FLINT/ETZNAB: TRUTH THAT SETS US FREE
My gift for the Tzolk’in round is the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in round. The “Field Guide” is available to download from a link on the 13-day Trecena Guide Page.
Tracking your thoughts during one 13-day trecena, you will see the synchronicity of Time, and an ascension as the answer to a prayer you hold as an Intention of thought from the beginning.
The Flint/ETZNAB trecena is part of Season 2, found in Volume 1.
NOTE: If you see repeating numbers, SacredScribes is a resource to check the meaning of Angel Numbers.
8 Serpent/CHICCHAN (Cherokee, Serpent/DO’TSI) – Day 8 of 13 in the 1 Flint/ETZNAB cycle of Truth from Above

The 7th Uinal of Balance
CORE DAYS: The 7th Uinal of the Tzolk’in represent the center column of 20-days, which carry the Intention of Balancing. In the Center we are returned to Unity. Our discernment of duality comes into balance. The Maya believed this to be the axis mundi – the center of the world that connects Heaven and Earth, where the four directions meet; where communication from lower realms may ascend to higher ones and blessings from higher realms may descend to the lower realm and disseminated to all. The Core Days may be experienced as a time of personal mystery where the crystalline structure is formed with the wings to fly.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eights carefully weighs all evidence to reach a balance of justice. Eight is the power of organization demonstrated in the statement ‘as above, so below,’ from simplicity to infinity, the energy of eight organizes all levels of creation, some eights are ‘neat freaks.’
Serpent/CHICCHAN: Movement and the creation of time. Sensual and dramatic, this sun sign embodies intense instinctual wisdom and creates a connection from Earth bound, to Heavenly aspirations. By sincere service to others, Serpent opens and expands its heart. Serpent aligns authority and the truth to bring justice that is quick and sure. Serpents are very adaptable, even fluid until trapped in a corner, and then they explode. Serpents, venomous temper poisons itself as well as others by creating resentful, suppressive and even destructive attitudes.
A GOOD DAY TO: Ask for fluidity and flexibility.
Cherokee, Serpent/DO’TSI: Serpent’s symbol is Constellation Serpens. Serpent people are Sky people who come to earth periodically as Educators. As above-So below, on Earth the Serpent is the roots of the tree of knowledge. Serpent power is vital energy, the moving force, the instinct and desire for creativity, the trigger that sets off the action. It lights the fuse that magnifies and explodes the life force itself. Knowledge, combining science, technology and psychology, plus spirituality are seeded on the planet through the descending Light of the Serpent.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this – I will keep an eye on space news to see how it unfolds!
Beautiful, Debra! I had never heard of Yod before!
Touched by the sun is a Carly Simon song that I sang once with a live band years ago, so that’s what I thought of while reading this. Merry Christmas!
The Yod is reflected in astrology as the quincunx, 150-degree angles of a 5 pointed star, and also the 5th point at the center of the cross (and center of the cube). I’m glad you mentioned it. I see the next quincunx alignment is Jan 2, 2025, 9:18 PM (CT); Sun 12, Capricorn 59, quincunx Jupiter 12, Gemini 59. The Catholic tradition celebrates the naming of Jesus the day after on January 3, 2025. “God made flesh” created the 3rd dimension of Spirit – the circle that’s a sphere and square that’s a cube. Thank you for raising the questions. I love Carly’s music. I wish I could have seen the live performance. 🙂
I’ll reshare/link to my performance again on my blog today, Debra. It was a healing performance! And some ladies told me so when we all broke bread afterwards in the big hall. The concert was held at a Unity church.
Wondrous to know all of this alignment! Wow!
Thank you! much love, Debra
