Our Galaxy, The Mayan Culture & The Astronomy Of 2012
The mayans, their calendar, the galactic center and its relevance to 2012 and the End of the Mayan calendar is discussed. The Mayans, Our Galaxy & The Astronomy of 2012
Our Solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. The position of our solar system in our galaxy has a lot to do with the astronomy of 2012. The correlation between the end of the Mayan calendar and the unprecedented astronomical phenomena is not a coincidence.
As represented in the diagram below, the orientation of our solar system relative to the galactic plane is that it sets at a tilt of about 60 degrees perpendicular.
If you were to visualize a flat pancake, and then stick a quarter in the pancake at a 60 degree angle, the quarter represents our solar system and the pancake the plane of the Milky Way galaxy.
At two times each year, the earth orbit around the sun, crosses the galactic plane. Currently, Based on the procession of the equinoxes the Sun is changing directions in our sky (the solstice points mentioned above), At the exact same time that we are crossing the galactic plane.
This only happens once every 26,000 years, the length of procession.
Why is this so important?
The power of our solar system emanates fro the center of our galaxy in most mystical traditions. The Vedic people call this the “Vishnu Nabi” (Navel of Vishnu). Obviously the Mayans also found this to be important, with their entire calendar ending when these two points intersect.
Multi Zodiac Implications
As You can see on the diagram above, the Earth crosses the galactic plane two times each year. If we were riding on the edge of the quarter stuck inside the pancake, two times each year we would actually cross over the plane of the pancake (Galactic plane). As was said, those “crossover points” now correspond to first days of summer and winter. Not only those days, but at the exact moment. These are exact moments - one second the Sun in moving one direction in the sky (from Earth) the next second it is moving in another.
One of the most fascinating things I discovered is that these points are now corresponding to crucial sections on each zodiac. For those who are not astrologers or who do not understand astrology, I will explain the zodiac difference.
Vedic Astrology uses the zodiac that is accurate with the stars, the constellations in the sky. Western Astrology uses the zodiac that is accurate with the seasons, the solstice points and equinox points. Now, due to procession of the equinoxes, these two zodiacs are off by close to 24 degrees.
On December 21, 2012 (and on the first day of winter each year) we hit the degrees of Capricorn in “Western astrology”. This is because the most direct rays of the sun fall on the Tropic of Capricorn that day. The opposite this is the first day of summer, the most direct rays of the sun falls on the Tropic of Cancer. That is why Western astrologers call this the first day of summer, and the first day of the zodiac sign “Cancer”.
Yet, Those points have nothing to do with the zodiac signs, the actual stars in the sky that are behind the Sun, and whose energies are being referred to. The zodiac that is accurate with the stars in the sky is called a sidereal zodiac, it is the one used by Vedic astrologers. Vedic astrologers actually use the stars in the horoscope itself.
However, currently, as we pass through The solstice points, two very important points in each zodiac get activated. The winter solstice, as mentioned above, is the first degrees of “Capricorn” In Western astrology. Now the Summer solstice occurs, and we crossed the galactic plane, at the exact point where the Nakshatra of Ardra begins. The diagram to the left illustrates this. There was a time when the constellations and the seasons occurred simultaneously. Yet now, due to the procession, they no longer line up. Therefore, even though in Western astrology, the first day of winter happens on the first day of “Capricorn”, the actual stars of the constellation Sagittarius or what we see in the sky.
When We look at the constellation Sagittarius, we are looking back into the center of our galaxy.
Because of the way the Earth is turned, and the way our solar system is oriented toward the galactic plane, this constellation looks to us as it is represented below in the photograph.
