Winter Solstice & Full Moon on Tuesday 21 December 2010

It appears that the Solstice on 21st December is a candidate for mayan calendar ending. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said many years ago that the Mayans got the date a bit wrong, though it is not known what he said was the right date. However, in 1968 Maharishi said that “everything for the Age of Enlightenment will be in place by 2011″ which would mean by the end of December 2010.

On this date the planets are lined up and points to centre of the galaxy. The benefics and malefics are both in powerful condition, however because of their position, the benefics are able to over see the change and point it in a positive direction.

If this is the end of 26,000 year cycle, where the first 13,000 years were ruled by the devas and the second by rakshas, we are coming to the end of that whole period. As a result we could see the malefics doing their things vigorously in a final act (for example as we are seeing in Mexico of drug barons wiping each other out).

In Jyotish, Vedic Astrology, the moon equals the mind so an eclipse of moon is an eclipse of the mind. One might get unusual ideas suddenly  at that time and one can jump to wrong conclusions easily so take special care in not making big decisions. This indicates that it is best to be inward at that time, such as meditating.

This will be the first total lunar eclipse to occur on the day of the Winter Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere; Summer in the Southern) since 1638 (according to Wikipedia).

The full Moon, and its total eclipse on this longest night of the year is timed perfectly to give us all a quiet time when the world sleeps, and to synchronize countless people’s efforts to harmonize with each other as this video suggests we do:
