Comet Atlas, Taken by Shane Ocean on January 23, 2025 @ Whitsundays, Australia
A Fading Comet and Solar-stormy Weather for a Planetary Parade

COMET ATLAS THROUGH AN iPHONE: Although Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) continues to fade, it is still a wonderful sight in the evening skies of the southern hemisphere. “On Jan. 23rd, I saw it with my naked eye, and it looked great with binoculars,” reports Shane Ocean, who sends this photo from Whitsundays, Australia:
“This photo is a 10-second exposure with my iPhone Pro 15,” says Ocean.
Astronomers say the comet is now a 3rd magnitude object. That’s a far cry from its magnitude -4 peak when it passed by the sun on Jan. 13th, but still a naked-eye object and an easy target for modern cell-phone cameras. If you live in the southern hemisphere, step outside at sunset and take a look.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: A new NOAA model suggests that two CMEs could graze Earth’s magnetic field this weekend–the first on Jan. 24th and the second on Jan 25th. If both CMEs land a blow, their combined result could be a G1 (Minor) to G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm. This is a low-confidence forecast, but if it comes true, high-latitude sky watchers could see some beautiful auroras.
Daily Sun: 24 Jan 25

NOTE: Both sunspots are positioned in the “danger zone” where solar flares are directed to Earth along the course of the Sun’s rotational current (ie. the Parker Effect).
THE EVENING PLANET SHOW: Last night in Arizona, Jeremy Perez went outside to look for the tail of Comet ATLAS. Instead, “a planet lineup said, hey, how about us?” says Perez. “Because of how spread out the planets were, I made my first attempt at capturing a 180° overhead, horizon-to-horizon strip panorama.” Here it is:
“They’re pretty spread out, but worth a look — Saturn & Venus in the west after sundown, Jupiter roughly overhead, and Mars rising bright in the east. Neptune & Uranus are hiding in there too, but some star charts may be needed to pull them up in binoculars,” says Perez.
“That Zodiacal Light was a strong visual feature from astronomical twilight onward,” notes Perez. “There was also lots of red air glow compared to the greens I typically see.”
The planet lineup is visible from both hemispheres. Enjoy the show!

Mayan Time
1 Earth/CABAN is a cycle of Illumination where we are guided by our True North. The next 13 Days purify the Heart’s Intention. The Creator sends out a Clarion Call to know who we are becoming and moves us to Live with all our Heart. Earth/CABAN connects us to the Wisdom of the Ages as Light passed down through the generations. We are guided by the Hand of Divine Agency toward our Divine Justice on the Road to our Divine Destiny.
CABAN is the path of a Divine Migration of Spirit. All the planets are aligned for it by the Hand of God.

THE TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN: THE CLARION CALL TO OUR HEART
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 answer to a prayer guided by an Intention from the beginning.
The Earth/CABAN trecena is in Season 3, found in Volume 2.

Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.
Earth/Caban: Earth/Caban: Keeper of the garden of Earth. Profound synchronistic connections to Earth’s natural cycles and energies provide power of creations and memories of ancient wisdom. Earth persons help dispel bad intentions, habits and ideas. This makes them very good counselors and masters of all arts. Studious and intelligent, Earth persons endeavor to bring a flow of natural order to all aspects of life. Being connected to the dynamic forces of nature, Earth persons need much liberty to facilitate their expression of migration or the sending of long distance communications such as the whales, elephants, birds and many other creatures. Sometimes Earth’s delicate sensitivities are upset resulting in quakes of emotion even the display of volcanic temper.
A GOOD DAY/CYCLE TO: Give thanks to Mother Earth for all her gifts.
Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI: Sign of movement and perpetual motion, Heron is symbolized by Deneb, located in the Northern Cross beside the Milky Way. “The Northern Cross is the Tree of Life, Beside the Milky Way River & Perched atop is Guwi’ sguwi, the Cherokee Heron Spirit Bird, comparable to the Phoenix that rises from the ashes of the past.
