Sidereal vs. Geocentric Astrology?

There is a lot of controversy around the validity of certain systems of Astrology. Detractors of astrology claim that geo-centric astrology is totally inaccurate because the precession of the celestial sphere has caused the constellations to shift over time. So, when a geo-centered astrologer says, ‘Your Sun is in Pisces’, the constellation appearing behind the Sun may actually be Aquarius. As a result, because they do not understand the fabric or nature of the celestial sphere, they erroneously dismiss a valid science. Moreover, sidereal astrologers (eastern/Vedic astrologers) tend to dismiss geo-centric astrology for the same reasons.

Our ancient ancestors did not have this issue, and recognized both sidereal and geo-centric astrology as valid. As chronicled in The Book of Enoch, our Ancestors recognized 7 Heavens with 24 Gates. 12 gates belong to the Lower 3 Heavens (Geo-Centered realms); 12 Gates belonged to the Upper Four Heavens.

These 3 Lower Heavens are the:
-Atmosphere
-Ionosphere
-Luna-sphere (Space within Moon’s orbit)

The 4 Higher Heavens are:
-Solar System
-The Sirius Star System/Heaven’s Gate to Milky Way
-The Milky Way
-The Galactic Core

As far as our ancestors are concerned, sidereal astrology, also known as ‘star-centered’ astrology, studies the Earth from the lens of the celestial sphere. Because it is a grand lens, star-centered astrology was used to calculate the 2,160-year ages of the Earth (Precession of the Equinoxes), the rise and fall of nations, historical epochs, cataclysmic events, earth changes, etc. It was usually not applied to individual human experience. If it was, the Moon was given prominence over the Sun as primary luminary. The Moon signified the celestial clan the soul traveled with during this incarnation. This is the foundation of the Eastern astrological approach.

Earth-centered Astrology, (Geo-Centered) astrology, is based on the relationship between the ionosphere and the Sun. The energy bio-plasma that makes up the human soul comes from the ionic-plasma field that makes up the ionosphere. The ionosphere is ‘fixed’ around the Geosphere, meaning it does not shift over time. It is calibrated around solstices and equinoxes, when the Sun’s angular relationship with the planet changes. When the angular relationship changes, it activates certain fields within the ionosphere, thus giving people born during that time their ‘sign’. In Geo-centered astrology, the Sun is considered the primary luminary. Geo-centered astrology, because it is a microcosmic lens, was used by our ancestors to determine natal potential of individuals and forecast life experiences.

Because of this, even though it is counter-intuitive, geo-centric systems of astrology are better suited for celestial interpretations of individuals...

Mayan Time
December 21, 2012 is a significant day. It is the culmination of a 1,872,000-day cycle that was recorded by the ancient Maya of Central America. This 5,125-year account of time is credited with being one the most intricate - yet - accurate calendars extant. The Maya called their calendar Tzolkin; Tzol means ‘count’, and Kin means ‘days’. As stated, the total number of Kin in the Tzolkin is 1,872,000 Kin (Days). This is a powerful number full of harmonic integers, including 13, 20, 260, 360, 400, 5200, 7200, 144,000, and 93,600. Based on the harmonic interplay of these numbers within the 1,872,000 day Tzolkin, the Maya could tell exactly what time it is in terms of Earth’s cycles.

At its most basic level, the Mayan calendar is the interplay of two simultaneous counts: the Unial – a 20-day count of pictographic solar glyphs – within 13 numeric ‘galactic overtones’ of creation. . The Solar Glyphs represent the consciousness emanating from the Sun – Ahau Kines. The 13 Galactic Overtones represent the consciousness emanating from Hunab Ku – the Galactic Core. This Tzolkin count of 260 days (20 x 13 = 260) is used to identify the galactic signature of each day. This ‘galactic calendar’ does not correspond with a 365-day solar year, but is more in synch to the nine-month gestational period of embryonic humans. What is interesting about the Tzolkin is that one’s conception date and birth date can have the same galactic signature. However, whether one’s birth and conception signature are the same date or not, as one continues to grow and evolve after birth, the ‘galactic imprint’ encoded in the glyphs and tones synchronizes one with the planet, solar system, and entire galaxy. It appears to do it through programming/activating information in one’s DNA.

For those using the Gregorian calendar, a major part of galactic synchronization involves re-orientating oneself to a more natural time/space reference. The Western time-space reference is a linear experience defined by money, not by nature. In fact, the Latin roots for ‘calendar’ means ‘time to collect debt’. The frequency of this artificial time is 60:60:24/7:29?30?31?:12:365. This frequency of time is experienced as ‘the rat race’, the ‘grind’, the ‘9-to-5-365’, ‘The Hustle’, ‘Time is Money; ‘Babylon’ etc., etc. Almost universally, people who are operating at this frequency are experiencing a strange phenomenon: time is accelerating. There seems to be less and less time in a day as time and events speed by. This is resulting in less productivity, more stress, and significantly less time to commit to achieving personal goals.

The Mayan calendar is a gift to assist in reestablishing a healthy, natural time/space reference point. 13:20 Galactic:Solar space/time orientation is an important tool to help one survive the inevitable Earth changes associated with December 21, 2012 and beyond.

The Long Count
That date – December 21, 2012 is the end of the Mayan Long Count. The Maya interwove into the 260 day Tzolk a 360-Kin galactic:solar year, which is called a Tun, to organize larger ages of time within the Tzolkin.

1 Tun equals 360 Kin (18 Unials x 20 Kin)
A count of 7200 Kin (20 Tun) was called a Katun.
400 Tun (20 Katuns) equaled 144,000 Kin, and is called a Baktun.

Within the Tzolkin, there are:
-1,872,000 Kin (days);
-93,600 Unial (20 day glyph count)
-5200 Tun (360 day year);
-260 Katun (20 Tun/7200 day cycles)
-13 Baktun (400 Tun/144,00 day cycles)

The ‘Long Count’ date of the Tzolkin is written:
Baktun (0-13).Katun (0-19).Tun (0-19).Unial (0-17). Kin (0-19)

The calendar rolls like an odometer –
Once 20 Kin have been counted (an Ahau day), the glyph rotation returns to IMIX – the first Mayan glyph - and one is added to the number of Unial (a twenty day glyph cycle).

Once 18 Unial have expired, that count returns to zero and one is added to the number Tun (18 Unial x 20 Kin = 360 Kin = 1 Tun).

Once 20 Tun have been counted, that number returns to zero and one is added to the number of Katun (20 x 360 Kin = 7200 Kin = 1 Katun).

Once 20 Katun have passed, that number returns to zero and one is added to the number of Baktun (20 x 7200 Kin = 144,000 Kin = 1 Baktun)

Once 13 Baktun expire, the Mayan Tzolkin is ‘out of time’.

The beginning date of the Tzolkin is:
August 11, 3114 BCE – 0:0:0:0:0 – 4 Ahau – Self-Existing Solar Mind - Day 0
The 1,872,00 count of days culminates:
December 21, 2012 AD – 13:0:0:0:0. – 4 Ahau – Self-Existing Solar Mind – Day 1,872,000

The Long Count as of 7/07/07 is – 12.19.14.8.6– 12 Cimi– Crystalline World bridger – Day #1,870,006

The Mayan Mission – Galactic Synchronization
The purpose of the Mayan calendar is simple: To chart the dates of Galactic Synchronization for humanity, the planet, and solar system. The Mayan calendar is not a solar calendar, lunar calendar, but a galactic calendar that allows one on planet earth to know what time it is in relation to galactic movement. Most importantly, it identifies the time and space when our solar system is going to receive an abundance of life-force consciousness from the Heart of our Galaxy.

Blessings from HUNAB KU
Our solar system is in the ‘outer reaches’ of a spiral galaxy, which we call the Milky Way. We are located in the outer-reaches in that as a solar system, we are far away from the galactic core, or center of our galaxy. Astronomers estimate that our Solar System is 26,000 light-years from the galactic core. At the center of our galaxy is a Black Star called the Galactic Core. The galactic core cannot be seen or detected directly, because the gravity of this Black Star is so powerful, not even light can escape the pull. However, based on the extreme gravity it exerts, this undetectable structure is estimated to be about 1010 solar masses (10,000,000,000 times larger and heavier than our Sun). The gravitational pull is so forceful; it holds the shape of the entire galaxy in its place. From the galactic core, which is located at 26 degrees Sagittarius from Earth’s vantage point, a major stream of life-force consciousness comes to our solar system. The Mayan called this Black Star Hunab Ku – The One Giver of Measure and Movement.

Surrounding the Black Star Galactic Core in a disc-like shape is a massive cloud of ionized (energized) hydrogen. This illuminated nebulae contains at least four ‘globular clusters’ – galactic star-clouds that give birth to stars. These stellar nurseries contain millions of young gaseous stars. This whole region – the disc of ionized hydrogen containing the globular clusters – rotates around the galactic core very rapidly in relation to the rest of the galaxy. As the globular cluster-clouds are rotated around, stars and gas are ejected due to the centrifugal force. The ejection is similar to the patterns of ejected water a rotating sprinkler makes.

Over billions of years, the ejected gas and stars form spiral patterns of galactic formations emanating from the galactic core. These spiral arms are what we see as the Milky Way, a streak of illuminated space in the Southern Heavens. The spiral arms are composed of ionized hydrogen and stars like our Sun. The Maya say the Life-Force Consciousness of Hunab Ku travels to our system through the galactic spiral arms that spin out from the galactic core and define the shape of our galaxy. The Maya called these streams of life-force consciousness Kuxan-Suum. Kuxan Suum are galactic portals, or regions of the heavens where streams of life-force consciousness travel from the galactic core to the earth through the milky way. The most important Kuxan Suum – Galactic portals – are probably located in the early degrees (around 0-7.5 degrees) of all of the mutable signs (Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Gemini).

In the early regions of Gemini and Sagittarius flow the actual Milky Way. The Cloudy trail of stardust is brightest 4 and 7 degrees Sagittarius, where the galactic equator is centered. This is the most direct portal to Via Lactae in the direction flowing toward the galactic core. The Milky way is dimmer in the region of 7 degrees Gemini as that direction is the flow of the galactic equator as it extends away from the core, out into the regions of outer-darkness (extra-galactic space). The portals that are in the signs of Virgo and Pisces are created by the fact that the Galactic Magnetic Poles rest along the axis of 4 degrees Pisces (South galactic pole) / Virgo (North galactic Pole) on the ecliptic. The Maya considered these regions of space Kuxan Suum - the galactic pathways and portals to and from Hunab-Ku.

Recognizing that the Precession of the Equinox Sunrise is a retrograde movement; the position of the galactic south pole in the early degrees of Pisces is significant. For it indicates starting in 1998 and continuing through 2012, the Equinox Sunrise (The day the Sun rises and sets directly over the Equator), the Sun will be directly in line with the magnetic pole of the galactic core. This is because the Precession of the Equinoxes is a backward motion. Around 0 AD, the late degrees (27-30) of Pisces was on the Eastern Horizon during the Equinox Sunrise. 2000+ years later, the early degrees of Pisces (and the galactic magnetic poles as well) are on the Eastern horizon. This alignment calls for galactic synchronization of all on the planet.

Moreover, on December 21, 2012 - the Winter Solstice, the Southern most path of the Sun will be in exact conjunction with the Galactic Equator. The plane of the galaxy, the most populated stellar region and the heart of the Milky Way, will be aligned with the Southern-most position of the Sun. The ecliptic takes this Southern dip as the rotational wobble of the Earth creates the phenomenon of Season change. Because of Precession, the path of the Sun will be aligned with Kuxan Suum on this day, affirming that 12/21/2012 is a day of galactic alignment...
