My new years resolution is to chalk my calendar full of important dates. Not only will I be adding to my calendar important dates concerning current events and elections I will also be adding celestial events.

Transit of Venus.

First observed and recorded by Darwin, the Transit of Venus is when Venus crosses the sun, it happens very rarely but also occurs in pairs.

en.wikipedia.org...
Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable astronomical phenomena. They occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years. The periodicity is a reflection of the fact that the orbital periods of Earth and Venus are close to 8:13 and 243:395 resonances.

Before 2004, the last pair of transits were in December 1874 and December 1882. The first of a pair of transits of Venus in the beginning of the 21st century took place on 8 June 2004 and the next will be on 6 June 2012. After 2012, subsequent transits of Venus will be in December 2117 and December 2125

My personal opinion. Dec 21 is a date in which the damage may have already been inflicted. It is a new beginning and not the end of the world. But historically it will mark a new beginning.

i can dig it.

also, if you're into the idea of studying transits, you should really look into the works of John Martineau & Jason Martineau, in "Quadrivium" & "Little Book Of Coincidences in the Solar System".

Here's a nice description of what i'm talking about

turns out "the music of the spheres" was a literal term.

Not to mention that it was observed by Charles Darwin.

The founder of evolution.

The Mayans took astronomical readings of Venus. That is the basis for Fuls reconsidering the correlation between the Gregorian calendar and the long count. I do not believe that the Mayans were able to observe or predict a transit.

The gods they connected to within predicted a shift in the ages, and the very same gods are coming back to us now. They are here now to assist the human consciousness into the golden age, and believe me; fear has nothing to do with it.

A shift in the ages? What is the source for this claim? Is there anything other than the modern claims of the new agers?

I concur.

It is somewhat of a novelty. But I am trying to keep this limited to factual information, not just mindless 2012 conjecture.
