SUNSET UNDER THE HEAT DOME: A record-setting heat dome over the US West Coast is so extreme, it’s squashing the sun. Mila Zinkova recorded the phenomenon on March 17th from San Francisco, California
“The sun looked like a stack of pancakes,” says Zinkova.
This is caused by the onset of June temperatures while it is still March. Right now, the ocean is winter cold, while the air is summer hot. The mismatch sets up unusually strong temperature gradients and inversions, which refract the rays of the sun, bending the solar disk into strange shapes.
“Pancakes” are a sign of ducting. In an atmospheric duct, the air is sliced into layers of different temperature, with cold air sandwiched between warm air. The layers act like a wave guide. Very long ducts give the rare Novaya Zemlya effect with a whole shimmering stack of narrow stripes.
“I have seen quite a few Novaya Zemlya sunsets, but the one I saw on March 17 was special,” says Zinkova. “The refraction was so strong that the sunset was delayed for 14 minutes! At times, it felt as the universe was standing still.”
Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
By the Mayan Calendar 5 Earth/CABAN is the Celebration of the Divine Forces of Nature that send forth the Clarion Call to Green Pastures. CABAN is the Force that begins every Great Migration on Earth.
Tone 5 represents an Intention of Empowerment. In the 3rd uinal, the 3rd month, and the 20th Day, 33:20 is a symbol of the Master Teacher and Savior; 20 is the symbol of the Supreme Lord of Creation – in the lower place.
The Spring Equinox in the North is the Time to plant the Seed of Gratitude for the Harvest fulfilled at the Fall Equinox. The Truth is promised in the Word.
Galatians 6:7 KJV
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

5 Earth/CABAN (Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI) – Day 5 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 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural net workers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
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.
In a Sanctuary within, we can Express how we really feel.
Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI: Sign of movement, of perpetual motion, recycling, regeneration; environmentalists fighting for the underdog. Heron is mentally alert, rational, yet opinionated; has a great faith in people and in the divine plan, holding the magic of ministry, medicine, marketing and matchmaking; healing abilities, especially with crystals; negotiation and mediation energy. 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 Egyptian Phoenix. One Myth has it that a Beautiful Young Maiden (the Heron Spirit Bird) fell from the Tree of Life in the Sky Vault, & Found no Place to Land on the Primordial Sea. Turtle came to the Surface of the Water & gave her a Place to Land. She nested & Laid her Cosmic Egg, From which came all Life on Earth.” (Cherokee Astrology: Animal, Medicine in the Stars, Raven Hall)
