My Lucky Stars and the Spaceweather

I was up early and it dawned on me there was still time to catch Venus and Jupiter with clear skies. The photo was take with an iphone camera (a basic model more than 4 years old). I have a street lamp at my curb, so I had to venture down the street to avoid the glare. In the enlarged photo, you can see other planets in the parade. I didn’t have a tripod, so it was double-lucky to get this clear of a shot. The beauty in-person was stunning!

 

It was harder to catch a clear shot of the Moon. At least I captured it in the “blue hour.” I wasn’t expecting the nearby planet, which may be Saturn, based on the lineup shown in the following illustration.

THE PERSEID METEOR SHOWER–NOW! The Perseid meteor shower is peaking as Earth moves through a stream of debris from giant Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Step outside after midnight and watch for bright, fast fireballs streaking from the constellation Perseus. Don’t worry if you don’t know where Perseus is; the meteors can appear anywhere in the sky. Enjoy the show!

SPIRALING ROCKET EXHAUST: Not everything in the sky last night was a Perseid meteor. Many observers in the eastern USA saw this instead:

“This caught my eye as I was looking for Perseid meteors after sunset on Aug. 12th,” says photographer Patrick Nixon of Purgittsville, West Virginia. “It started in the the Big Dipper and moved downward toward western PA or eastern OH.”

Minutes later, the same spiral was widely observed in Pennsylvania, New York, and Wisconsin.

This is probably a fuel dump linked to a Vulcan Centaur rocket launched from Cape Canaveral by the United Launch Alliance (ULA). Carrying two satellites on behalf of the U.S. military, the rocket lifted off at 8:56 p.m. EDT on Aug. 12th (0056 GMT on Aug. 13th). When multiple satellites are deployed from a single rocket, the rocket sometimes spins to help the payloads go in different directions. That could account for the spiral shape of the exhaust.

A SUNSPOT WITHIN A SUNSPOT? Sunspot 4172 looks like an ordinary sunspot group. However, data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory reveals something different–a possible sunspot within a sunspot.

This is a magnetic map of the sunspot group. The expected polarity of a sunspot in the sun’s northern hemisphere is . Indeed, sunspot 4172 has that polarity. But it also has a knot of reversed polarity, , embedded within it. (Note the circled region in the animation, above.) Is this a strange mish-mash of opposite polarity sunspots? If so, it is unstable and likely to explode.

NOTE: If 4172 does explode, it’s positioned in the earth-directed strike zone.

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity

7 Flint/ETZNAB is a Day to expect the unexpected and to see the Truth clearly (Tone 7). I’m claiming my “lucky stars” are a sign that whatever Truth arrives like a bolt out of the blue, will be good news. (It’s all good, if we choose to see it that way.)  In the trecena of Road/EB, the Truth revealed is a Collective Experience the whole world can see. And – we’re just getting started. It’s Time for Reflection and Introspection – NOT time to tell people what we REALLY think, without thinking about it more than once or twice. Flint/ETZNAB holds a “testy” energy and everyone feels it. The Truth apart from our emotions becomes clear by the end of the day. You don’t have to answer on Flint, if someone tests you. The Answer is written on your face. (Flint is aka the Mirror and the answer lies within, by what you already witnessed, but didn’t see before.)

We have nothing to dread. God goes before, and follows behind.

PRAYERS FROM THE FIFTH WATCH 

The LORD is our Divine Witness who sees and hears everything, and Knows the Truth. 

Matthew 24:42-44 NIV
42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

TRECENA OF ROAD/EB: HUMAN’S  ROAD TO DESTINY

The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.

It only takes 13 days to see how Faith is always raised to Knowing the Truth of Answered Prayers. You only have to track your thoughts. Record the matters on your mind in a journal to see how your perspective is changed by a Divine Order of Thoughts.

Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.

Road/EB is the 2nd trecena of the 2nd season of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1. There’s something more to see when you discern the meaning of Time for yourself. The meaning of time is revealed by the thoughts on your mind.

NOTE: Tone 1 reflects the 1st Light of Divine Inspiration as the “legend” of this chapter of Time. If you forget where you are, return to Tone 1 to see the “First Light” of Divine Inspiration for this climb of Faith.

7 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA) – Day 7 of 13 of the 1 Road/EB Trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU. His wisdom and Free Tzolk’in calculator is preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 7: Reflective. Seven stands as a mirror to divide light and dark and to reflect all that is and is not. Seven is associated with the source of creation and the flow of Divine Will. With a keen sense of ethics, Seven establishes purpose to current and future goals.

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 TO: Spend time in reflection and introspection.

Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA: Opener of the Way, a creator, innovator, stretches the mind to outside limits of capabilities. Changes the static to the dynamic.  Brings about change, often through separation and destruction.  Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash. Flint is the transformer that brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.
