Luke 21:25 "And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars..."
For over a millennium Mankind has relied on the stars for celestial navigation, sidereal and tropical astrology, observational astronomy, and the making of calendars. The celestial events occurring this Fall are so important to the future of Mankind that thousands of years ago they were embedded in the mythology and storytelling of cultures worldwide in hopes that it's warnings will be heeded by future generations. This Fall we'll be witnessing some pretty amazing astrological events in the sky. Here is a short guide I put together to show you what to expect.
Keep your eyes to the sky!

Are all heading for close encounters with the Earth this Fall!
Sept 28 - Nov 24, 2011
or
Revelation 12:1-5
"A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman (constellation Virgo) clothed with the sun (the sun will be just below the horizon), with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars ("Coma Bernice's hair") on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth."
We have Virgo clothed with the Sun, the moon under her feet - and Venus, Saturn, Mercury and the Sun in her belly!!!
"Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon (Constellation Drago/Hydra) with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads.
The Constellation Drago, the Dragon, is posed above Virgo at this time, ready to snatch the child the minute it's born.
His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born.
The Draconid meteor shower begins Oct 8. The Draconids are expected to be intense this year with 10,000 meteors produced per hour.
The Draconids are named because it's meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Draco, the Dragon.
She gave birth to a son, a male child (Venus), who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter."
Actually, she gives birth to quadruplets!!!!
Here's the Birth Announcement -
Sept 17 - Virgo clothed with Sun starts/ birth pangs
Sept 26 - Sun-Elenin-Earth conjunction
Sept 28 - Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: ראש השנה)
(Feast of Trumpets) begins
Sept 30 - Virgo (moon under feet) Rosh Hashanah ends
Oct 4 - Virgo births Venus
Oct 7-8 - Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) begins/ Draconid meteor shower
Oct 9 - Virgo births Mercury
Oct 12-13 - Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות or סֻכּוֹת
) (Feast of Tabernacles) begins on the Shabbat
Oct 16 - Comet Elenin closest per Ephemeris
Oct 17 - Virgo births Sun
Oct 19 - Sukkot ends
Nov 1 Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان)
begins
Nov 11 - 11/11/11 Virgo births Saturn
Nov 25 Solar Eclipse
Nov 29 Ramadan ends
"And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
This positioning of Virgo and the moon occurred 26,000 years ago and it will occur in another 26,000 years if the earth endures and ... .
The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days."
Expect the American Rainbow Rapid Response (ARRR)g to be there in the desert to feed the multitudes.
During the latter part of September all hell will be breaking out medieval worldwide as
three days of darkness, the effect of the Sept 25 Mercury - Sun - Elenin Allurement, begins
Sept 26, 27, and ends on the 28th
If you believe the Hopi Prophesy then
C/2010 X1 (Comet Elenin) represents the Blue Kachina while
Asteroid YU55 represents the Red Kachina.
"In the Final days we will look up in our heavens and we will witness the return of the two brothers who helped create this world in the birthing time. Poganghoya is the guardian of our North Pole and his Brother Palongawhoya is the guardian of the South pole. In the final days the Blue Star Kachina will come to be with his nephews and they will return the Earth to its natural rotation which is counter clock wise."
- Dr. Robert Ghost Wolf
C/2010 X1 (Comet Elenin) and
Asteroid 2005 YU55 will cross the ecliptic and remains on the same gravitational plane as Earth on the anniversary of the World Trade Center/Pentagon attack -
9/11/11. In the Jewish Gematria the word "Elenin" is equal to 119, the reverse.
Asteroid 2005 YU55 will be 0.00217AU from the Earth and come between us and the Sun. It will be closest to the Moon at 0.00160AU.
Now here's the problem -
Asteroid 2005 YU55 overlaps with the Earth the following month on
November 8 through the 9th. Even if it misses us (and that is debatable) this places
C/2010 X1 (Comet Elenin) about 23 million miles on one side of the Earth and
Asteroid 2005 YU55 will be 202,000 miles on the other side of us. Can anyone spell "Tug-Of-War" between brothers Poganghoya and Palongawhoya??
The celestial light show in September may also be a preview of things to come in 2012. A brown dwarf star five times the size of Jupiter and nicknamed
Nemesis by NASA scientists could be responsible for throwing snowballs at us from the nearby Oort Cloud.
here are some snowballs heading our way:
1)
ASTEROID 2005 YU55 is closest to Earth on
November 9, 2011 at .0022AU.
YU55 is expected to cross between the orbit of the Moon and the Earth passing the Earth by only 200000 miles. It's position will form a triangle with the Earth and the Moon. The pull will be powerful enough to change
YU55's trajectory and degrade it's speed. The Sun will push the Earths magnetic shield away from the Sun. The Moon will be traveling thru it, and during the month of November if any solar activity is present, the asteroid may be significantly affected.
On November 8th
YU55 will be 202,000 miles from Earth.
On November 9th at 2pm, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will work with the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) to conduct a test - it's only a test - of the Emergency Broadcast System. They announced it so far in advance because they “want all partners and especially the public to be aware of this test, what it means, and have plenty of time to prepare.”

prepare for ...... what??????
2)
ASTEROID 2005 GO21 is closest to Earth on
June 22, 2012 at .442AU.
3)
ASTEROID 4179 TOUTATIS is closest to Earth on
December 12, 2012 at .0503AU.
Toutatis comes close to Earth again and is at its closest for exactly 4 days straight on
December 25, 26, 27, 28, 2016 at .207AU.
Toutatis is estimated to be 2.8 miles by 1.5 miles wide.
4)
ASTEROID 99942 APOPHIS is closest to Earth on
April 13, 2036 and will pass Earth within the orbits of geosynchronous communication satellites at 22600. Apophis caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 when initial observations indicated a small probability (up to 2.7%) that it would strike the Earth in 2029. Additional observations revealed the possibility that during the 2029 close encounter with Earth, Apophis would pass through a gravitational keyhole, a precise region in space no more than about a half-mile wide
that would set up a future impact on April 13, 2036.
Apophis is estimated to be
1050 feet in diameter.
5)
COMET 45P/HONDA is closest to Earth on
August 18, 2011 at .0766AU.
Honda comes close to Earth again on
February 13, 2016 at .0677AU (closer to Earth than in 2011). It's a periodic comet which follows an elliptical, five and a quarter years orbit around our Sun commencing from the Ophiuchus constellation at the Galactic Equator. This year, it will be the closest approach by a comet since
D/1770 L1 (Lexell) in 1770 and
C/1983 H1 (IRAS-Araki-Alcock) in 1983. With the exception of 1954 and 1990,
Comet 45P/Honda’s aphelion has become increasingly closer to earth.
0.59 AU from Earth on 1954 March 15
0.30 AU from Earth on 1969 August 11
0.23 AU from Earth on 1975 February 5
0.29 AU from Earth on 1990 August 1
0.17 AU from Earth on 1996 February 4
0.09 AU from Venus on 2006 June 4
0.06 AU from Earth on 2011 August 15
Comet 45P/Honda has passed in close proximity with Earth, Venus and Jupiter since it's discovery in 1948. Interestingly, when it passed Earth at 0.23AU on February 5, 1975, China had a 7.3 magnitude earthquake the day before on February 4, 1975.
Another interesting aspect of
45P/Honda is its forecasted flyby with Comet Elenin. They will cross path approximately around October 8.
Comet 45P/Honda is estimated to be 1 mile in diameter.
6)
COMET P/2006 T7 (LEVY) is closest to Earth on
January 7, 2012 at .453AU.
Levy comes close to Earth again and is at its closest for exactly 6 days straight on
April 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 2017 at 1.399AU.
Levy is estimated to be 1.2 miles in diameter.
COMET ELENIN
C/2010 X1 (Elenin) was discovered in December 2010 by Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin, using equipment at the International Scientific Optical Network's robotic observatory. From the beginning it became apparent that Comet Elenin was behaving oddly. C/2010 X1 (Elenin) is classified as a Hyperbolic Comet. Usually comets with a very long orbit (10000+ years) are not in the same ecliptic plane as our solar system's planets. They're random travelers coming in from any direction before being captured by our sun's gravity. C/2010 X1 (Elenin) is traveling on the very same elliptic plane as the Earth. This is highly unusual and possibly very dangerous because Elenin comes from beyond our solar system. Every other comet, including
Kohoutek, has come from within the Oort Cloud..
C/2010 X1 (Elenin) comes from so far away that its orbital path isn't even completed on the
JPL site!
.
Why is that a problem?
Comets are electric space capacitors. The evidence suggests that comets are highly negatively charged with respect to the Sun. As they rush toward the Sun, the voltage increases until at some point the comet nucleus begins discharging ionized atoms and molecules in a "cathode jet" of negatively charged dust. The reason Elenin is causing earthquakes whenever it aligns with the Earth and Sun is because Elenin has been in deep space for a very long time gathering electrons and building an enormous electrical field to feed to the sun. If Elenin is, as many scientists believe, a first time visitor to our solar system, then it means Elenin has picked up an incredible amount of electrons as it traveled the thousands of years through space it took to get here. The longer in space without discharging,
the more electricity is stored in the comet. When comets discharge their capacitance towards the Sun it generates a photon tail. The infrared signature for comet Elenin suggest the charge Elenin is carrying is so large that when the comet dumps its capacitance, the resulting photon flare up (comet tail) will engulf the Earth as the Earth passes through the tail. Passing though the tail will ionize all matter on the surface of the earth.
On September 24th 2011
C/2010 X1 (Elenin) will pass between the Earth and the Sun putting the Earth in the direct path of Elenin's photon blast with the Sun.The comet's tail (or coma), has exceed 100,000 km and will be pointed directly at us.
As a result of outgassing, comets leave a large trail of solid debris. When C/2010 X1 (Elenin) crosses Earth's path there are likely to be meteor showers as Earth passes through the trail of debris. The Perseid meteor shower occurs every year between August 9 and August 13, when Earth passes through the orbit of Comet Swift–Tuttle. Halley's comet is the source of the Orionid shower in October.
These meteor showers are experienced within comet tail debris that has already dispersed considerably during the time that it takes for the Earth to reach their locations and are the result of traveling through an area that has been crossed at right angles by the comets tail.
Comet Hale-Bop's elliptic took it in between Jupiter and Mars' elliptic plane at a cross angle but there has never been in Earth's history an observed comet traveling on our elliptic plane and in the same direction that we are traveling, as Comet Elenin does this Fall.
In the first 50 days of this year we've experienced everything under the sun and moon.
1) massive floods and sinkholes
2) over 200 earthquakes
3) snow storms and cyclones,
4) over 50 recently activated volcanoes
5) five million mysterious animal deaths.
If you look at the pattern of large earthquakes, magnitude 7 and upwards, appearing within about 24 -36 hours after a geomagnetic storm, the correlation between C/2010 X1 (Elenin) and our Sun is obvious. The March 11 Japan earthquake occurred a day after a long duration G1-level geomagnetic storm had begun. This storm lasted for three days from March 10 - 12, gaining a G2-level of intensity on March 11 (G5-level is the greatest or most severe storm rating.) The next geomagnetic storm occurred on April 6, 2011 when a G2-level storm was followed by four 7.4 earthquakes in Japan. On April 7 there were also two 6.4 earthquakes in Mexico. The third geomagnetic storm occurred on April 12, a G1-level and a 7.2 earthquake was recorded in Japan. The seismic reading went as high as 8.2 magnitude.
Every time we have had a G1-level geomagnetic storm since March 10, 2011 it has been followed by a large earthquake of at least a 7.2 magnitude.
The March 11, 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan that created the fatal tsunami and tilted the Earth off it's axis was also proceeded by the largest super flare recorded, an X1.5 level, on March 9, 2011. Most of the geomagnetic storms are a result of huge coronal high speed solar holes that were directed earthward. These storms are rare but have been increasing in numbers this year as the solar maximum continues to increase in its intensity. and especially as Comet Elenin continues to come ever closer to the interior of our solar system.

On October 15, 2010 John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, or OSTP, addressed the possibility of an Comet/Asteroid striking the Earth..
Section 80 of the National Aeronautics Space Administration Authorization Act of 2008
[PDF]
outlines plans for “(A) protecting the United States from a near-Earth object that is expected to collide with Earth."
Coincidently ..... or not .... Comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin) was “discovered” by amateur astronomer Leonid Elenin on December 10, 2010- 2 months AFTER the official White House letter was written.
Maybe the White House hired a psychic!
Dr. Mensur Omerbashich PHD, one of the world's top seismic scientists of Cornell University, recently published,
"Astronomical Alignments as the Cause of M6+ Seismicity." to possibly explain any future earthquakes associated with
Elenin's orbital conjecture with Earth.
Another interesting thing about Comet Elenin is that it transits only six zodiac signs: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, and Libra, spending most of its time/orbit in Leo and Cancer. Here is a brief and rough timeline summary of Comet Elenin in the signs
9704 BC? - 2006AD Leo (11,710 years?)

Desperate times calls for desperate measures!!
The real movie will begin on December 21, 2012
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
- Psalm 19
On Dec 21, 2012, at the end of both the Maya and Hindu calendar, the Earth will be in the constellation of Ophiuchus (pronounced Oh-fee-YOU-cuss) the 13th sign of the zodiac. Next to Ophiuchus in 2012 will be the constellation Sagittarius. In 2012 Sagittarius will point his arrow directly towards the galactic center, also known as the Leviathan or Dark Rift.
When a line is drawn from the tip of the Sagittarius' arrow to the end of Scorpio’s tail it passes directly through the center of the galaxy creating the “Divine Cross” with the Celestial Equator. At the same time the Divine Cross will intersect with the "Terrestrial Mundane Cross" formed by the equinoxes. When these two crosses align every 26,000 years (the last occurring in 10,500 B.C) they form an eight wheel spoke at the galactic center.
This eight wheel spoke represents the alignment of the Divine Cross "above" with the Terrestrial Mundane Cross "below" forming the hermetic maxim:
"As above, so below. As within, so without."
"I should explain perhaps why the eight spoke wheel is so important. In the sky there is a great cross that does not move, and its formed by the center of the galaxy and from the center point of our celestial equator to the southern point of the celestial equator, that's the divine cross. Down here on the ground we have the mundane cross that is formed by the angles between equinox and the solstice and so forth, so the eight armed cross, the eight rayed star, the 8 spoke wheel...all represents the alignment in space and time of the divine cross above and the terrestrial mundane cross below." - Edgar Cayce
Ophiuchus depicts a man crushing a serpent, tracing back to the ancient Egyptian mortal/god named Imhotep, who lived about 27 B.C. .
On October 17,1604 Johannes Kepler, a German mathematician, astrologer and astronomer began observing a supernova located right in the heel of Ophiuchus. The supernova lies about 13,000 light years away from Earth and happens to the last such object seen to explode in the Milky Way galaxy.
There are two solar eclipses in 2012 (
May 20 & November 13), the first will see the sun and moon conjuncting the Pleiades and in the second solar eclipse the sun and moon will conjunct the constellation Serpens, or serpent. Serpens is a constellation that is connected physically with Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. Ophiuchus was a famous healer and the serpent coils around his head and shoulders. These two eclipses in 2012 physically reflect the cosmic orobouros, which is the primordial serpent of eternity represented as a snake swallowing it’s own tail - the alpha & omega.
In the early 70s
Dennis and Terrence McKenna applied their knowledge of fractals to the 64 hexagrams of the I-Ching to arrive at the end date of 2012. The Indo-Tibetan belief that the current 'Kali Yuga' (the Age of Iron), the final and most negative of four evolutionary Yugic cycles corresponds with the end date of 2012. The Mayan calendar began with the Fifth Great Cycle in 3114 BC and will end on 21 December 2012 AD. The Hindu Kali Yuga calendar began on 18 February 3102 B.C. There is only a difference of 12 years between the Hindu's beginning of the Kali Yuga and the Mayan's beginning of the Fifth Great Cycle.
The Mayan's first prophecy talks about 'The Time of No-Time'. A period of 20 years, which they call a Katún. The last 20 years of the Sun's cycle of 5,125 years. This cycle is from 1992 - 2012.They predicted that during these times, solar winds would become more intense and could be seen on the Sun. This would be a time of great realization and great change for mankind. And it would be our own lack of preservation and contamination of the planet that would contribute to these changes. According to the Mayans, these changes would happen so that mankind comprehends how the universe works so we could advance to superior levels, leaving behind superficial materialism and liberating ourselves from suffering.
The Mayans say, that seven years after the start of Katún, which is to say 1999, we would enter a time of darkness which would force us to confront our own conduct. The say that this is the time when mankind will enter 'The Sacred Hall of Mirrors'. Where we will look at ourselves and analyze our behaviors with ourselves, with others, with nature and with the planet in which we live. A time in which all of humanity, by individual conscious decisions, decides to change and eliminate fear and lack of respect from all of our relationships. The Mayans prophesied that the start of this period would be marked by a solar eclipse on August 11, 1999, known to them as 13 Ahau, 8 Cauac. And would coincide with an unprecedented planetary alignment, the 'Grand Cross' alignment. This would be the last 13 years of the Katón period. The last opportunity for our civilization to realize the changes that are coming at the moment of our spiritual regeneration. LINK
Other cultures around the world have had similar mythos - the alchemists of Europe built the Cross of Hendaye to describe it. The Qero Indians of Peru call it the Pachakuti or the "Upside Down World" and the ancient Egyptians referred to it as the Zep Tepi or "The First Time."
"This is turning into a surrealistic nightmare!"
- Armageddon
Usually at this point in the narrative the sun rises, the drugs wear off, and the harsh morning light of reason chases away the crazy fearful fantasies you found yourself inhabiting the night before,
Astronomy is a SCIENCE, fer christ sake, and a normal, rational, and non-controversial SCIENCE at that.
The night sky ought to be represented by mundane navigational sky charts and constellations of boring old Greeks guys with hard-to-pronounce names,
not an epic battleground of bad omen comets and "game changer" asteroids hurling towards Earth.
Any wild hair up yer ass - like Nibiru and an "away team" of Anunnaki warriors riding shotgun on it's tail - was confined to SCIENCE FICTION, where it belonged, not science fact.
Most of the hapless bullshit written about Comet Elenin nowadays on the Internet are written BY idiots FOR idiots and neither would know a sextant from a bleedin' octant! These fools can't even plot their car's GPS device let alone plot the trajectory of a comet.
They can tell you the back story of every character in Star Wars but couldn't name you one constellation let alone point it out to you in the night sky.
Lord, save us from these internet fools.
Yet saying "nothing will happen" this Fall is ultimately trusting that the government is tell us the truth.
What does it matter now if men believe or no?
What is to come will come. And soon you too will stand aside,
To murmur in pity that my words were true.
- Cassandra, in Agamemnon by Aeschylus
This is a view outside my window. I use to tell my out-of-state friends that my apartment building was built over the Boulder creek.
