December Solstice

This is an opportunity to harmonise our rhythms with the solar and lunar cycles and to utilise the powerful incoming energies available for personal and planetary healing on this special day.

The December Solstice will occur at 23:38 (or 11.38pm) GMT/UTC on December 21, 2010. It is also known as the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the southern hemisphere due to the seasonal differences.

What happens during the December Solstice?

The December solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, it is when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun.

On this date, all places above a latitude of 66.5 degrees north are now in darkness, while locations below a latitude of 66.5 degrees south receive 24 hours of daylight.

The sun is directly overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere during the December solstice. It also marks the longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours for those living south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Those living or travelling south from the Antarctic Circle towards the South Pole will see the midnight sun during this time of the year.

On the contrary, for an observer in the northern hemisphere, the December solstice marks the day of the year with the least hours of daylight for those living north of the Tropic of Cancer. Those living or traveling north of the Arctic Circle towards the North Pole will not be able to see the sun during this time of the year.

The Solstice was a special time for many ancient cultures, including the Incas, who celebrated a special festival to honor the sun god at the time of the December solstice. In the 16th century ceremonies were banned by the Roman Catholics in their bid to convert the Inca people to Christianity. A local group of Quecia Indians in Cusco, Peru, revived the festival in the 1950s. It is now a major festival that begins in Cusco and proceeds to an ancient amphitheater a few miles away.

Total Lunar Eclipse on 21 December 2010

A total lunar eclipse on December 21, 2010, will be the last eclipse of the year. This will be the second of two lunar eclipses in 2010. The last time a total lunar eclipse occurred was on February 21, 2008.

A total lunar eclipse takes place whenever the moon passes right through the Earth’s dark umbral shadow. This can only happen at full moon, which is when the moon has swung directly opposite the sun in our sky, in its monthly orbit of Earth. During this total lunar eclipse, the moon will be totally immersed in Earth’s shadow for 72 minutes. A partial eclipse lasting for nearly the same period of time will precede and follow the total eclipse. The entire eclipse from start to finish will last about 3.5 hours.

This December solstice eclipse is also the northernmost total lunar eclipse for several centuries. There won’t be a total lunar eclipse this far north on the sky’s dome until December 21, 2485.

That’s because this eclipse is happening almost simultaneously with the December solstice – which in 2010 occurs on December 21 – when the sun will be southernmost for this year. Remember, a totally eclipsed full moon has to lie exactly opposite the sun. The winter sun rides low to the south now, as it crosses the sky each day. So this December full moon is far to the north on the sky’s dome.

The global visibility of this lunar eclipse is shown in the diagram above.

An explanation of this diagram can be found here.

See this link for an animation showing the moon's passage through the earth's partial and full shadows in relation to Universal time, or the video clip below.



Where will the eclipse be visible?

The December 21 lunar eclipse will be visible to observers in North America and western South America.

Most of Europe and Africa experience moonset while the eclipse is in progress. Only northern Scandinavians can catch the entire event from Europe. The moon rises in the eclipse for observers in eastern Asia... The moon will be situated in the constellation Taurus, close to the border with Gemini, and near the most northerly point in the moon’s orbit at that time of the year.

When will the eclipse occur?

The eclipse’s total phase lasts for 72 minutes. The penumbral eclipse begins at 05:29:17 GMT/UTC and the partial eclipse starts at 06:32:37 gmt/UTC. The total eclipse begins at 07:40:47 GMT/UTC and the point of the greatest eclipse occurs at 08:16:57 GMT/UTC. The total eclipse ends at 08:53:08 GMT/UTC, followed by the end of the partial eclipse at 10:01:20 GMT/UTC. The penumbral eclipse ends at 11:04:31 GMT/UTC.

The following map shows the areas where the total eclipse will be visible:

Visibility of the total eclipse.

This map shows the position of the Moon (the cross in the centre) at the time of maximum eclipse. The darkened area sees the whole total eclipse; the pink areas to the right see only the beginning; and the blue areas on the left see the end. The moment of maximum eclipse will be visible from the darker pink and blue areas, and the whole of the darkened area.

The Maya Full Moon sacred site attunement for Machu Picchu, Peru


During our healing event, we will also tune in to the 27th Full Moon sacred site attunement of the Grand Maya Itza Council for the ancient Inca (and pre-Inca) sacred site of Machu Picchu in Peru.

The ruins of Machu Picchu are one of the most beautiful and enigmatic ancient sites in the world. While the Inca people erected hundreds of stone structures on the Andean mountain top from the early 1400's, legends, myths and archeological findings indicate that Machu Picchu (meaning 'Old Peak' in the Quechua language) was regarded as a sacred site from a far earlier time.

"Whatever its origins, the Inca turned the site into a small but extraordinary city. Invisible from below and completely self-contained, surrounded by agricultural terraces sufficient to feed the population and watered by natural springs, Machu Picchu seems to have been utilized by the Inca as a secret ceremonial city. Two thousand feet above the rumbling Urubamba river, the cloud shrouded ruins have palaces, baths, temples, storage rooms and some 150 houses, all in a remarkable state of preservation. These structures, carved from the gray granite of the mountain top are wonders of both architectural and aesthetic genius.

"Many of the building blocks weigh 50 tons or more, yet are so precisely sculpted and fitted together with such exactitude that the mortarless joints will not permit the insertion of even a thin knife blade. Massive, multi-sided blocks were precisely fitted together in interlocking patterns in order to withstand the disastrous effects of earth quakes (in an earthquake, the stones on Inca terrace walls lock together, allowing the entire wall to simultaneously flex and cohere).

Detail of stone work at Machu Picchu

"Little is known of the social or religious use of the site during Inca times... One of Machu Picchu's primary functions was that of astronomical observatory. ...There is also an Intihuatana alignment with the December solstice (the summer solstice of the southern hemisphere), when at sunset the sun sinks behind Pumasillo (the Puma's claw), the most sacred mountain of the western Vilcabamba range, but the shrine itself is primarily equinoctial.

"Shamanic legends tell that when a sensitive person touches their forehead to the Intihuatana stone it opens their vision to the spirit world. Intihuatana stones were the supremely sacred objects of the Inca people and were systematically searched for and destroyed by the Spaniards. When the Intihuatana stone was broken at an Inca shrine, the Inca believed that the deities of the place died or departed. The Spaniards never found Machu Picchu, even though they suspected its existence, thus the Intihuatana stone and its resident spirits remain in their original position.

"The mountain top sanctuary fell into disuse and was abandoned some forty years after the Spanish took Cuzco in 1533. It must be noted, however, that Machu Picchu is known to have been a ceremonial site many centuries and even millennia before the Inca developed and already had existing structures that were used for astronomical observations and ceremonial functions..."

General info about the upcoming Solstice event

During the treatment process, each participant will receive healing on an individual level and as part of the group, and participants will also be anchoring the planetary healing energies in their part of the world, releasing disharmonic energy and receiving healing energy on a collective level.

We use a cutting-edge distant healing method known as Synchronization Harmonics, and for those who have never before experienced distant healing work, this is the ideal opportunity.

After each healing event, feedback and detailed reports about what came up during the treatment process for the group, as well as for the collective consciousness on a planetary level, are mailed to participants.

First-time participants should e-mail us their details and pics as soon as possible, and no later than midnight GMT/UTC on Monday, 20 December.

New Year Energies

31 December 2009 - 1 January 2010

The heavens are alive with the sound of music. Everything is extraordinary at this time, so I am including some of the most relevant info below about the astrological aspects over this New Year, and may we all be blessed during 2010. Happy New Year!

Full Moon, Blue Moon, Partial Lunar Eclipse

31 December 2009

" ...lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth and the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse... A partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a portion of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow." - Wikipedia

There will be a partial lunar eclipse on the night of 31 December, visible in parts of Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. It will not be visible in North America. Only a very small portion of the Moon will enter the darkest part of Earth's shadow, the umbra. Hence this eclipse will be difficult to observe even where it is visible. The eclipse will begin at 17:17 GMT/UTC, with mid-eclipse being at 19:23, and it will end at 19:52.

To view an excellent flash simulation of the movement of earth and the moon during this partial eclipse, please go to this link.

This image shows the view of the earth as viewed from the center of the moon at greatest eclipse. The partially eclipsed sun is visible above the north pole.

Blue Moon on New Year's Eve - once in two decades

From Carol Ann Ciocco:

"Everything we ever imagined, thought or felt is available now. This is chaos." - Christine Page on Chaos and Re-Creating Our Lives.

On Thursday December 31st, we will experience a Full Blue Moon at 11 degrees of Cancer/Capricorn (Moon in Cancer/Sun in Capricorn).

A Blue Moon occurs when two Full Moons occur in a calendar month. We call the second Full Moon the Blue Moon. A Blue Moon occurs roughly every 2.5 years.

This Thursday's Blue Moon is a bit more uncommon because it is happening on New Years Eve - a coincidence that happens only about once in every twenty years. So this particular Blue Moon is slightly more qualified than most for the saying: "once in a blue moon". And, as Susan Miller writes, "This eclipse might bring a 'once in a lifetime' event." It's the end of the first decade of the 21st century; and it seems the Lunar presence is putting a bit of an exclamation point on that transition.

Here is some good advice for the safe navigation of this touchy transition. "It is wise to keep gatherings intimate and safe. The eclipse comes with a caution to keep personal safety in mind; and if you're traveling, stay in the city where you're celebrating. Eclipses can bring sudden news, and in Cancer, it has to do with security, family, and for Americans, our national identity. Everyone may be seeking comfort, a sense of intimate connection, hominess." (Susan Miller)

In the Sign of Cancer - it's your party, cry if you want to

From Carol Ann Ciocco:

The rain-weeping and the sun burning twine together to make us grow. Keep your intelligence white-hot and your grief glistening, so your life will stay fresh. Cry easily like a little child. ~ Rumi

"This eclipse is linked to last summer's Total Solar Eclipse in Cancer (July 22, 2009). For many of us, that was an intense time.... This week's eclipse might bring resolution or culmination to things that occurred back in July. Take a moment to think back to that time.

"This moon actually does have a touch of the sad 'Blue Moon' quality described in the song of the same name; mainly because it is in the sign of Cancer, which is the most emotional of all of the signs. Plus, this is a Lunar eclipse which tends to tug on the emotions as well.

"Astrologically we say that the Moon is most at home in ('ruler' of) the sign of Cancer. So the Full Moon in Cancer is an extra good time to examine your emotions... The next step is to make sure you nurture yourself as much you nurture others... Coming just after the holidays, this Full Moon will surely illuminate how we spread ourselves too thin; doing things that maybe we don't even want to do, with no quiet time for our souls.

"You may find yourself crying under this eclipse (remember: the effects of an eclipse start at least 2 weeks beforehand). Deep sadness may be triggered by any number of internal or external events....

"As I have mentioned many times recently, letting go is key now. Between now and March we are preparing for intense transformation in the second half of the year...."

The Juno-Pluto-Saturn T-Square

December 24, 2009 through January 1, 2010

From Nick Anthony Fiorenza:

"The Juno-Pluto-Saturn T-square from 24 December 2009 to 1 January 2010 is the grand finale event of the recent several-month "restructuring of relationships" -a radical transition that has been occurring in relationships of all types, those of a personal nature, and those of business and politics. The grand finale of December 2009 occurs due to a dynamic T-square created by the asteroid Juno and the already occurring Saturn-Pluto square, which recently began in November 2009. The T-square will be initially triggered on the First Quarter Moon of December 24, 2009 as the Sun conjoins Pluto and the Moon conjoins Juno opposite Saturn. This will create a dynamic "external stimulus to action."

"The T-square will continue through the Gibbous Moon as Venus conjoins Pluto, and then through the Full Moon eclipse of December 31 and into the "day of realization" in the lunar cycle, which occurs just after the Full Moon, on January 1, 2010. A "T-square" is like a cross-bow, one that must fire. In this case it is Pluto that is firing right through the already occurring "restructuring of relationships." This finale creates an opening, one that demands we let go and live true to heart. With this heart-driven momentum, relationships will then move into a new octave of experience. Some will end, while others, more appropriate for the future, will begin; and some may just transform into a new octave of experience."

Sagittarius New Moon and this lunar cycle

December 16, 2009

From Barbara Hand Clow:

"It is the New Moon in Sagittarius, the time to consider our core beliefs in light of what is going on in the world. We are also living during the early days of Night Six of the Galactic Underworld, the darkness before the dawn....

"This year's New Moon in Sagittarius is closely conjunct the Milky Way Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. The Moon exactly conjuncts the Galactic Center four hours after the New Moon, which is followed by the Sun on December 18. The galactic aspects of this New Moon start during the New Moon and intensify over two days, which is great preparation for the high energy that will move in with the Winter Solstice. ...The period from this New Moon to the Winter Solstice is very mystical and healing, because Jupiter conjuncts Chiron for the last time on December 7 and Jupiter conjuncts Neptune for the last time right before the Solstice. Uranus going direct and Jupiter's last conjunctions to Chiron and Neptune are pulling in massive doses of higher consciousness forces from 6D and 8D down into 4D and 3D.

"...On the spiritual planes, lines are being drawn from the time of this New Moon through the Solstice. ...

"The New Moon and Venus, both in Sagittarius, closely sextile the Triple Conjunction-Chiron/Jupiter/Neptune in Aquarius-just when this potent conjunction rejoins as closely as it did during the summer. Going back to May-July 2009, Jupiter and Chiron caused us to access deep and ancient wounds, while Jupiter and Neptune so greatly expanded our spiritual boundaries that many of us felt insane. Now during this lunation, the Triple Conjunction challenges us to see our resonance with higher orders, higher dimensions. We can't get off the hook because we know the truth. If we are lazy and dishonest about Earth now, things will be created in our 3D world that will not be pleasant. If we have respect for our own progress, great events in 3D will give us even more information. Mars in Leo widely trines the New Moon and Venus, which will make it easier to assess our own failings and limitations...

"The period between the Sagittarius New Moon and the Winter Solstice is the time to go into deep contemplation, a time to examine your ideals and how they are being expressed in the world. ... Float on your life raft, the creation of this lifetime, with confidence. The higher fields are moving in and transmuting reality, and soon during Day Seven, which opens in late October 2010, these changes will be visible..."

Mars and Mercury are in retrograde

From Carol Ann Ciocco:

"The backdrop of this New Year's Eve eclipse is the continuing Retrograde Saga. i.e. both Mars and Mercury are retrograde right now. The Ghosts of Christmas Past (and/or decades past) might walk through your wall on some nights as you lie sleeping in your bedchamber.

The Mind will review the actions of the Body over the past 2 years (and perhaps beyond) to discern whether those actions are in alignment with the true desires of the Heart and the mandates of the Soul.

Also, the Mars Retro effect (in play through March 10, 2010) is a time for recharging your batteries. Mars is our energy source, our power source. It is the engine in our car. Venus represents our heart's desire and Mars is how we go about getting it. Check out how that equation is playing out in your life. What is your heart's desire and how do you get (or not get) what you want?"

The Sirius-New Years Connection

At Midnight on New Year's Eve, we are directly 'downstream' from Sirius

From Carol Ann Ciocco:

"Around mid-night local time on New Year's Eve the triple star Sirius (the brightest fixed star in our sky) is found directly overhead on the mid-heaven infusing the earth with its starry energy. Because Sirius is the brightest star in our sky, in antiquity it was known as The Shining One or The Scorcher. The Egyptians called Sirius Isis and built their calendar around the rising and setting of this magnificent star. In addition, the Egyptians felt that Sirius could bring immortality to humans.

"Freya Owlsdottir shares this info about Sirius: "The Sirius system is directly "upstream" of our solar system within the galactic arm of our Milky Way Galaxy. Because of this, we now know that the polarized energies of Sirius do indeed wash over us. By coming directly towards us, Sirius creates an axis of rotation with Earth relative to the stellar background. Because of this, of all the stars in the sky, only the annual heliacal rising (meaning its visible rising just before the Sun) of Sirius exactly matches the length of our solar year, 365.25 days.

"Even today, unbeknownst to most of the people of the world, our New Years Eve celebration is a celebration of Sirius' presence directly overhead at midnight. Around January 1st, this midnight alignment marks the moment when the energies of Sirius most closely touch our lives in their most singular purity. Without knowing the hidden reason, we mark this midnight moment by jumping for joy as the rush of this vital connection surges through us.

"Sirius is a double or binary star, (the Dogon peoples of Africa have maintained for centuries the existence of not one, but two companions of Sirius, even long before astronomers were able to telescopically perceive the now-acknowledged companion known as Sirius B.) This companion to Sirius is a very dense and small star that, nonetheless, has immense impact on the rotational pattern of Sirius.

"In their dual gravitational pull upon one another, Sirius and its companion form a beautiful spiral dance. As they rotate relative to their respective gravitational fields, Sirius and Sirius B are observed to twist around each other in a helix-like spiral that has, over the course of its 50 year cycle, the expansive/contractive design of the Golden Proportion. The Golden Proportion is a geometric pattern that is evident in all natural forms, from the seed-heads of a sunflower to the relative proportions of our own bodies and the motions of hurricanes.

"Sirius imprints upon us a realignment of our own vibrational patterns, touched by the perfection of the Golden Proportion. If we have gone astray from our original DNA blueprint of balance and harmony - for instance through toxic food, air, thoughts etc. - the Sirian influence reestablishes balance and harmony within our Body/Mind/Soul. Out with the old, in with the new!" - Freya Owlsdottir

"The key word to describe Sirius energies is TRANSFORMATION. ...The Morphic Fields contain the blueprint for all physical form in its penultimate and perfect expression. This may be why the Egyptians linked Sirius with immortality, as Sirius holds the codes of perfection that exist in the 6th dimension...

"So, as the ball drops over Times Square, so does a blast of energy from Sirius, "The Shining One," for the creation of perfect and beautiful expressions on Earth. Allow Sirius-magic to infuse your new-beginning visualizations into form....

"To paraphrase "The Great Invocation": May Light and Love and Power restore the perfect plan on Earth.

The Year is Going, Let him go

Ring out the false, ring in the true

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go.

- Alfred Lord Tennyson
