Chelsea's Notes on her trip to London for the eclipse - 11:11 stargate

"We all had such a magical time. Unfortunately I have no pictures. My camera did not fuction there. My video camera charge did not work either. I guess it was not meant to be.

Where do I begin. . . Diahann lives in the heart of Avebury Circle with the center right out side her back yard. It has a view of a recent Crop Circle out her back window - (the one with the 33 hexagons in it).

A few centuries ago the community built a reformist church from some of the Stones and tried to destroy the pagan ceremonial site which accounts for the homes being built there.

Sat the 7th, Diahann invited a few friends over to meet. We turned out to be a family re-united as we all got on so energetically perfect.

Sunday was her conference. She didn't tell me that she wanted me to open with the bowls. So I enlisted Donya from Calif. and Phillipe from Wales, my new brother to play the didjereedoo and the other bowls. We created an energetic setting for the day.

She asked me to talk about the Princeton, NJ. circle later that day as well. The whole day was a complete success for her and the Crop Circle community there in Wiltshire.

We traveled to all the local Sacred Sites and brought the bowls, Didjereedoo, flute and drums where ever we went.

Like the pied piper people showed and joined in. It seemed so magical to be in such revered a historical akasha energy, my soul soared with such intensity.

We visited the Long Barrows (Stone Caves and Tombs), Barbary Castle, slept on Silbury Hill, cried at the sight of Stone Henge, Glastonbury, the Chalice Well, The Tor where The Bowls rang out for miles.

Glastonbury Tor

Off to Wales to Merlin's Cave and in between managed to do an evening lecture on 11:11 the day before the Enormous Celebration of the Total Eclipse which the clouds blew away long enough for every one to see it concisely at 11:11 am - and a weekend intensive on Alcheny and Ascension through principles of Sacred Geometry and Sacred Sound.

A totally complete 11 days there and litte sleep. We did a lot of meandering in the stones in the wee hours doing the energy work.

The Eclipse was the Nexus for everyone - anticipation and completion of a new cycle."

For the first time since 1961, there were two Blue Moons in one year.

1999 had one in January and one in March. Meanwhile, the month of February didn't have a full moon.

The time between full moons is 29.5 days. Thus the month of February is shorter than the lunar cycle. If the first full moon of a year falls on January 1st or 2nd, there will always be two full moons in January, and two in March -- but none in February.

Actual 'blue colored' moons are rare, hence the expressions, 'once in a blue moon'.

The Seventh Sun - The Mayan Year of 10 Manik

Written by Aluna Joy Yaxk'in: Prophets Conference Newsletter Email

There appears to be a rapidly growing interest in the significance of the coming vernal equinox, March 21. According to the Maya, beginning March 15, 1999, a powerful gateway may be accessed by those who reach a place of attunement with universal - primordial energy. The events of this particular time are considered by a good many practitioners of Mayan astrology and astronomy to be precursors in the determination of which timeline creation will be launched into realization in the year 2012.

This Spring Equinox, first sunrise for the New Year (March 21, 1999) may very well be the turning point we have been waiting for. We can certainly feel the building pressure of transformation. Centered between two full moons, the entrance into the Maya New Year of 10 Manik will be a year of transformation, healing, and most of all, the ability to manifest our souls' desires. The two full moons, March 1 and March 31, will not happen again until 2018! This Mayan year will also take us into the Gregorian year of 2000. So now more that ever before, the universe is asking us to be of clear intent. We are going to manifest exactly what we have been preparing for. Do you know what YOU want to manifest for the next year and the next millennium? Now is the time to really know yourself and your heart.

Because of this auspicious time in our history, preparation is everything. What we experience will be in direct portion to the effort we put into creating Heaven on Earth.

The weeks heading up to the Equinox and the weeks following it are a very special time where our thoughts and souls' desire are empowered for the next year and the next 1000 years! How we spend the days just prior and the few days past Mayan New Year will be the anchor, the foundation stone for our next millennium.

We can look into the Mayan cycles to get a peak into what we might expect to see manifest in our lives with the entrance to a 10 Manik year.

First, the prelude to the Equinox is a powerful one. Lead in by ten portal days beginning on 2 CIMI (February 28). These intense days are a tune up prior to the Equinox and thin the veils between us and the manifesting force of the universe. On 4 IMIX (March 15), we enter the center twenty core days of the Mayan calendar. These twenty days are the aligning energy of Christ consciousness. It is a time we can manifest and embody the divine within and in our outer lives. Living in the Now is not only filled with grace, but is demanded of the universe. Core days linked with Spring Equinox is a powerful event to tap into to further our evolvement and awakening.

Rigoberto Itzep Chanchabac, a knowledgeable Mayan Quiche Elder, Priest and Day Keeper shares in his simple way, the importance of Spring Equinox and the Mayan Haab New Year.

"According to our experiences of the MAYA COSMOVISION, the time of the Equinox is the time of the astral commemoration when "Jun Wukub Ajp' IXbalam kij" descends into the underworld after his son who has beaten the owners of the underworld. We know very well that for the world or spiritual universe, there was a big battle before the spiritual, material world could take form. It was necessary, this big fight between the light and darkness. The Equinox is a signal that reminds us of that date for eternity, that moment, when the day has become longer than the nights. We know the New Year has arrived and is a day of commemoration for the Haab. We call this day Nim Luj A Wasil kij. It is the day our Grandfathers dreamed and expected to see the hero descend into the underworld, in a shape like a pyramid, with his head decorated with many feathers, with all the colors of the rainbow. That was the beginning of the light. Since then our ancestors have built temples in the pyramid shape and this was the beginning of the tradition of temple building. But today, almost nobody knows about this historical event."

Outlined in the book Mayan Pleiadian Cosmology, a Manik year will be a time to build and deepen relationships, but we are reminded to allow special time to be alone. In a Manik year we will be given space to heal the need for outer security and to finally realize that the only true security comes from within. When we learn to be comfortable with our own individuality and heal the need for outer security, the energy of Manik will open the world to us. World travel and embarking on bold new adventures will be in store for us. We will discover that Earth is our home - not just a state or country.

We will rediscover the joys of living simply, unencumbered with possessions and boundaries. Learning to release all material will lighten the load, freeing our spirit to roam new territory of the inner/outer worlds. We may desire to live unconventional lifestyles and have creative relationships, both business and personal.

Manik is peaceful, inspiring, and generous. Our heightened intuition will help us be more sensitive to the concerns of others. Service will be a key word this coming year. Manik will activate our visionary foresight, and help us to unquestionably follow our instincts, feelings and reasoning abilities, making it an awesome year to solve long standing problems with the environment, relationships, and government.

Manik is bold, and will not hesitate to confront a situation that is out of integrity. We will have no hesitation speaking our minds on controversial subjects, yet we will allow others their position on the issues. It will be a year where we can work together in harmony in spite of different opinions.

Building self-esteem, learning to complete projects, not just start them, could be issues prevalent this year. Less is more in a Manik year, so learn to pace yourself and not to take on too many projects at once. Use emotion and excitement to fuel your projects. This will help insure you have the energy to complete what you start. Pay close attention to distractions, as they may become key issues this year. We need to ask ourselves if we are using distractions to resist growth. Be open and shift your perspectives often.

Manik is a West year, the direction where light enters darkness. West is a calm and peaceful place of repose. It is where we lose our ego to merge with a greater whole. In a 10 year, spirit's intention becomes physical form. What the mind's eye sees will magically manifest. We can effortlessly collect whatever we need to create our vision. What is focused on is magically manifested, as long as we have direction and remain focused.



Chinese Astrology and the Lunar Calendar

Chinese astrology is unconcerned with the apparent movements of the sun and moon, but instead is based on the 60-year-cycle of the Chinese lunar calendar.

A lunar calendar consists of both the Gregorian and a lunar-solar calendar system. The latter divides a year into 12 months with each one divided into 29 and a half days.

Five cycles of 12 years each make up one complete calendar cycle of 60 years: the cycle of animal years leads to a 12-fold recurrence and the five elemental factors make up the 60 year cycle. Chinese astrology classifies people into 12 animal groups according to the year in which they were born.

The animals which represent the 12 Chinese zodiac signs (in order) are: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

During this sexagenary cycle, each animal sign, or earthly branch, is combined with the five Chinese "elements" -- wood, fire, metal, water and earth. Wood represents creativity and imagination; fire represents dynamism, energy and passion; metal signifies persistence and strength; water indicates sensitivity and persuasiveness and earth indicates stability, industry and practicality.

The elemental cycle lasts for five years, making 1999 the Year of the Wood Rabbit. In the next century, rabbit years will fall in the Western years of 2011 and 2023.

The origins of the 12 animals of Chinese astrology are unclear. One legend holds that Buddha invited all the earth's animals to a gathering before his final departure, and these 12 were the only animals that showed up. As a token of his appreciation, Buddha named a year after each of them in the order in which they arrived.

Another legend says the Jade Emperor held a race to determine the fastest animals. The Emperor had decided the first 12 animals to cross the chosen river would represent the 12 earthly branches that make up the cyclical order of years on the lunar calendar.

The ox agreed to let a cat and a rat -- both poor swimmers -- ride on its back during the race across the river. The rat pushed the cat into the water and sat next to the ox's ear throughout the course of the race. Right before the ox was about to make it to land, the rat jumped ashore and won the race, leaving his carrier, the ox, to place second. The cat did not place in the first 12, and it is unclear what became of it.
