APOPHIS IS COMING–A FRIDAY THE 13TH COUNTDOWN: When astronomers discovered asteroid Apophis in 2004, they felt a jolt of fear. Early calculations gave it a 1-in-37 chance of hitting Earth on April 13, 2029–then the highest impact probability ever for a sizable asteroid. Naturally, it would arrive on Friday the 13th.
Years and thousands of observations later, we know that Apophis will miss, but by so little that watching it will feel like a close call. The 340-meter space rock will slice through Earth’s shell of geosynchronous satellites so close that 2 billion people will be able to see it with their naked eyes.
Days may not be the best unit for this kind of countdown. Instead, let us count the Friday the 13ths. There are only four left–and the last one is the flyby itself.
Friday the 13th #1 (Nov. 13, 2026): Nobody can see Apophis. The asteroid has been hiding in the sun’s glare since 2021. NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft is chasing the asteroid, and the European Space Agency is building a probe of its own, named Ramses.
Friday the 13th #2 (Aug. 13, 2027): Telescopes on Earth have just found Apophis again–a faint magnitude-21 speck. Ramses and Japan’s DESTINY+ probe are in final testing.
Friday the 13th #3 (Oct. 13, 2028): The chase is on! Ramses and DESTINY+ launched together on a Japanese H3 rocket in April 2028. At least three spacecraft are now converging on Apophis.
Friday the 13th #4 (April 13, 2029): Apophis arrives. Cruising alongside the asteroid, Ramses will release two CubeSats–one will try to land–while DESTINY+ may zip past for a close-up of its own. Earth’s gravity will have a powerful effect on Apophis, bending its orbit and possibly causing quakes and landslides on the asteroid’s surface. OSIRIS-APEX arrives two months later to survey the aftermath.
During the flyby, sky watchers on the nightside of Earth (Europe, Africa, and western Asia) will be able to look up and see Apophis shining like a star of magnitude 3.1. That’s about as bright as stars in the Big Dipper. Moving 42 degrees per hour (the width of a full Moon every minute), Apophis will visibly drift against the background stars, a sight no human has ever seen without a telescope.
Stay tuned for a close call.

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
The meaning of a Sign is created by the story we attach to the Symbol. The evil one cast an illusion that 13 is an unlucky number. The Maya discerned the 13 as a symbol of Intention and the Truth of Answered Prayers. Christians celebrate “Good” Friday. We can CHOOSE the story we attach to a symbol. We can choose a Divine Meaning or go along with the evil one.
When you look for a Meaning of Divine Trinity, the Holy Spirit will never forget and that’s what we’ll be reminded of when we see it.
We’re Ascending to Higher Ground. We can start to choose the meanings of the Signs we see by what God would want us to remember when we see it. If we keep following the Son, by the Time the next Friday 13th comes, we’ll count it all for Joy.
NASA Science: The Future of Apophis
When Apophis was discovered in 2004, it appeared the asteroid could potentially impact Earth in the coming decades. Astronomers closely tracked the asteroid, and now NASA is confident that there is no risk of Apophis impacting our planet for at least 100 years.
100 Years was once a symbol of the distant future. Now, it doesn’t feel very comforting.
As long as I can remember in the 7 decades I’ve been around, we expected our children to be more successful than we were. Generations rose above the limitations of their parents. Now 100 years means – my grandchildren’s children’s Time and Place. And, now the vision of the future is that every generation will have a harder time than the one that came before.
That can be a Bad Sign or a Good Sign if we stand in Faith that Human’s downfall was never God’s plan.
Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV
22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The Book of Lamentations is the Human story of lost hope by the Realization of Human failure. The chapter bemoans every consequence of Sin that bears on our heart. The 3rd chapter reminds us of the Faith that is restored with every Sunrise. That is God’s plan that has never failed. God revealed himself through Miracles that were carried out by the Son.
The 3rd Day by God’s order is always the Sign of a Miracle. April 13, 2029 is about 3 years from today.

12 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee, Turtle/DAK’SI I’SB) – Day 12 of 13 of the 1 Dog/OC trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Free Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 12: Twelve is a gift of great capacity of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.
Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.
A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.
Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB: Turtle Island; direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan is the Cosmic Hearth. Turtle is the Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle. Totem-Dragon. The energy to understand all things sacred; creation energy, connection for visions, to learn the mysteries of the Universal Knowledge. The dragon carries the source energy of life, revered in ancient cultures for power and wisdom.
