Fireworks On the Sun and Shadows on Saturn
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 07/04/2025
A CME IS ABOUT TO HIT VENUS: Yesterday, the sun hurled a CME straight toward Venus. A NASA model predicts it will strike on July 4th. The impact will erode a small amount of Venus’s atmosphere, but there’s still plenty left, so no harm done.
A SHADOW FALLS ACROSS SATURN: Saturn is putting on a rare and subtle show: Titan’s shadow is drifting across the planet’s cloud tops, and we’re squarely in the middle of the season to see it. On July 2nd, Thomas Jorgenson of Neenah, WI, photographed the most recent transit:
“It was a solar eclipse on Saturn!” says Jorgenson. “I captured it using a classic Meade 10″ LX200 telescope.”
Titan shadow transits are rare. They happen only during Saturn’s equinoxes, which occur roughly every 15 years. That season has arrived. From May through early October 2025, backyard astronomers in the Americas can witness Titan’s inky shadow cross the ringed planet’s cloudtops.
Sky & Telescope’s excellent article on this topic gives a timetable of future transits:
These transits are slow-moving and surprisingly photogenic. Titan is the second-largest moon in the solar system, so it casts a shadow that’s darker and sharper than most observers expect.
The next transit is July 18th. Saturn will rise over the Americas around midnight, and be halfway up the sky when the shadow crosses the central meridian of Saturn’s disk.
Mayan Time and Synchronicity
Saturn (Latin: Sāturnus [saːˈtʊrnʊs]) is a character in Roman mythology, described as a god of time, generation, dissolution, abundance, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal and liberation. Saturn’s mythological reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace.
A prophecy foretold that Cronus would be overthrown by one of his own children, leading him to devour each of his offspring as they were born. A transit is a crossing that can represent the inevitable passage oftime and the cyclical nature of power and generations. Saturn’s transit, a 2.5-year period, is associated with lessons, limitations, and the destruction of the outdated. (Wipedia: Saturn Mythology)
Pray for the fledglings in Big Bear Valley, and everywhere else that will be subject to the explosions and air pollution (and, especially Jackie, Shadow, Sunny and Gizmo). Pray ftor all who are near to personal use of fireworks. In SE Kansas, it’s still okay to shoot them off in your yard. (2 cherry bombs on that one.)
Anything that comes from the Sun is bound to be a good thing. The Sun’s explosion toward Venus is Light hurled at the symbol of the Scion. (Signs are for the future.)

6 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA) – Day 6 of 13 of the 1 Reed/BEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in FREE CALCULATOR preserved on MayanMajix.com.
Galactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.
Flint/ETZNAB: Mirror of reality. As a struck flint, these persons are the divine sparks of intelligence. Flint’s innate abilities are utilized to discriminate emotions from fact. Flint persons stand tireless to protect, defend, or cure others by personal sacrifice. By courageously wielding the sword of truth, falsehoods are cut away. Flints, it was said, can receive information on inter-personal troubles or evil plots of others by reflecting in an obsidian mirror. Their valiant service as warriors of the truth must be impeccable or they will experience sufferings of accidents, misunderstandings and gossip.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend time in reflection and introspection.
Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA: Mirror, flint. Ability to discern deception and mirror it back to the other. A catalyst for change through this ability. When used properly, harmonic resonance can be the result. If you take on another’s issues through the mirror, the result will be anger, grief and misunderstanding of purpose. All issues will surface and be mirrored in this earth walk. Energy comparable for teaching, leader, philosopher, writer, observing the mass consciousness evolution in some manner.
