Barbara Hand Clow on the Ninth Wave of the Mayan Calendar (March 9 - October 28, 2011)

In a previous post I discussed the Mayan Calendar and how we recently - in March - entered the very final phase of a large evolutionary cycle. This final phase vibrates 20 times faster than the phase before, which vibrated 20 times faster than the phase before that one etcetera, etcetera - and so during this very short time, from March until the end of October this year, we experience an evolution of consciousness as great as what we earlier in history took hundreds, or thousands of years to achieve!

So what is this about? According to Barbara Hand Clow and others, our solar system has been sailing in the Galactic Night during thousands and thousands of years, but is again entering the so called Photon belt. Our solar system will align with the Galactic Center, that mysterious powerful point from which the Mayan Calendar itself is said to emanate. At about the same time, we are experiencing an astrological age shift - we're moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. All the details and explanations about what these events are really about - us entering the Photon Belt, us aligning with the Galactic Center, and us entering the Age of Aquarius - are too many for one post... To sum up though, Barbara Hand Clow says that what we're evolving towards (and this is happening NOW!) is a re-awakening of our multidimensional nature and our knowledge of who we are - cosmic citizens - and a re-awakening of unity consciousness or oneness.

In the previous post I started out by writing about how strange everything has felt since we entered the Ninth Wave. The speed-up of time can really be felt. And Gaia is undergoing intense changes as well, which was clearly illustrated by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan, which happened at the same time that we entered the First Day of the Ninth Wave. Here's an interview with Barbara Hand Clow in four parts (you'll find a link to the next part of the interview after this first one's been played), where she speaks about this entrance into the Ninth Wave or Universal Underworld of the Mayan Calendar:

Clarity of Intention and Being In Time - The Mayan Calendar

It's been two and a half months since I last wrote here, and I feel like I've been in a completely different world during this time! I'm asking myself, Whatever happened? - and perhaps some of you are asking yourselves the same question. I'll try to discuss a bit of what it is that is happening with us all at this point in time and space, with the help of some very knowledgeable and intuitive people whome I've come to lean on and respect, two of them being Barbara Hand Clow and Carl Johan Calleman who have both written on the Mayan Calendar and how it seems to describe an evolution of the human consciousness.

I haven't written much about the Mayan Calendar in this blog. I have mentioned Barbara Hand Clow a few times (check out this post for more on Barbara's work on the New Moons, Solstices and Equinoxes, and this one to read about her work on Chiron), but I haven't actually elaborated on her work on the Mayan Calendar, which is built partly upon the research of biologist Carl Johan Calleman, and partly upon her own past life regressions and channelings. Calleman found that the Calendar represents a purposeful evolution of consciousness on Planet Earth (as a living being - Gaia - with her own role in Cosmos), where several cycles of time overlay each other: each representing a different evolutionary period with a special purpose; each vibrating at a rate 20 times higher than the "previous" one (which accounts for a sensation of time being sped up each time we enter a new cycle); and each ending at the same time: October 28, 2011 (this is the date Calleman uses for the end of the Mayan Calendar, not December 21, 2012 as most people believe).

We are approaching the simultaneous culmination of all these (nine) cycles of evolution on October 28 this year at the speed of lightning! On March 9 we entered the fastest vibrating of the cycles, or Underworlds as Calleman calls them - the Universal or Cosmic Underworld. This cycle vibrates 20 times faster than the previous cycle (the Galactic Underworld), which began in 1999. To gain some perspective of the extremely fast developing world we're living in now, though, I'd like you to know that the cycle before the Galactic (the Planetary Underworld) began in 1755, and yet another cycle back, the National Underworld began 3115 B.C! So we're evolving as much as a species during less than one year, in this period between March and October, as we as a species evolved during much larger cycles, earlier in history.

Here's a graphic illustration of the nine cycles of evolution (I know it says that the Universal began in February and not in March and I've seen different dates for this - but everyone seems to agree that the First Day of the Ninth Wave (each of the cycles consists of seven days and seven nights) began on March 9):

(click here to view larger image) When Barbara Hand Clow, who is an astrologer, came upon the works of Carl Johan Calleman, she wanted to test his hypothesis against astrology to see if she could find relevant correlations in the astrological constellations taking place at the time of the big shifts of the Calendar. She found that there were and had indeed been major astrological extraordinarities taking place in the heavens during these shifts - and for her that was "evidence" enough of the truth in Calleman's work. Much of the material she had earlier channelled from the Pleiadians started to make sense to her in a new way. This post is going to become much too long if I go into the details of Barbara's work, but in short she says that we, the human species, are evolving to (once again) becoming true cosmic "citizens" and knowing our origins as starseeds and multidimensional beings. This is what we have the potential for now that we're moving towards the end of the calendar. And the chaos of our times, which seems to have become even more intense since we entered the Ninth Wave or Universal Underworld this March, is a "natural" outcome of the old, 3D focussed world and its structures falling apart.

I chose to call this post Clarity of Intention and Being In Time because we really need to be very, very clear on who we are, why we're here and what our role is in this MAJOR cosmic event taking place right now. We cannot afford to put our heads in the sand and pretend everything is normal or that it soon will get back to normal. We have to step up to the plate and remember who we are. My purpose with this blog is, partly at least, to provide information about this huge shift we're going through, and I can help you align with your true purpose and understand your role and why you're here, via astrology.

Autumn Equinox and Harvest Moon

Dear readers,

I hope you've had an.... interesting autumn equinox and full moon! It was yesterday that the Sun moved into Libra, marking the entrance into the third part of the astrological year. The energies of this autumn equinox merge with the potent energies of the cardinal T-square of Saturn in early Libra (conjunct the equinox Sun) opposite Uranus and Jupiter retrograde in late Pisces (conjunct the full moon that was exact a few hours after the equinox), and T-squaring Pluto in early Capricorn! So you can understand the energies have been intense, and possibly you have felt this intensity in your physical and emotional bodies. For example, many people have reported of heavy headaches and increased body temperature during these last few days. There has also been an increase in solar activity during this time with great solar flares erupting on the Sun's surface. For sure this all affects us.

Mabon - the celtic autumnal equinox

In Barbara Hand Clow's astrological analysis for the Virgo New Moon, she says it is time we all find our path and follow it. We need to think deep and hard about who we are, why we're here and how we fit into the bigger scheme during these important, majestic times of human evolution. In line with this, the autumn equinox is also a time of evaluating where you're at, looking back to the intentions you set at the beginning of the astrological year; the spring equinox. What did you intend to manifest for this year, and how have things turned out? Have your intentions yet manifested? Should you give it a little bit more attention - perhaps things are just about to manifest and you simply need to put in some renewed focus and energy to make it happen? Or, as Barbara writes, some things have not manifested because they just don't really belong in your life as an authentic, ascending human. You can read her Astroflash here: http://www.handclow2012.com/astroflash.htm. You will find a lot of helpful insights in her text, that hopefully can provide input as you assess where you're at during this powerful autumn equinox of 2010!

Lots of love to you all!

Astrology, and of late, Chiron!

Astrology is pretty much what has brought me to where I am today. Astrology is such a great tool to grasp how you are a part of the bigger picture. Without it, I really would have been a very lost soul. Astrology helps me to understand where I'm coming from, where I'm at today, and where I'm heading to - by means of looking into what archetypal energies are at play in every moment.

Astrologically, what interests me the most are the outer planets: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. And most particulary; Chiron! Chiron is described by Barbara Hand Clow as a "transforming bridge between the inner and outer planets". It was discovered in 1977, at a time when, supposedly, there was a lot going on in the world that indicated new ways of understanding our consciousness (I wouldn't know, I was just a small child at that time ;D). Alternative healing methods is just one example.

In mythology, Chiron was a teacher, an initiator, a wounded healer, and not least a great astrologer. Chiron rules divination, initiation into "higher consciousness" (contact with the Higher Self or the divine), the pineal gland, crystals, ecology etc, according to Barbara Hand Clow in her excellent book Chiron: transforming bridge between the inner and outer planets. Chiron points to where different dimensions/realities intersect and thus to "holographic attunement"/dimensional attunement.

Just during the last few days, I've realised how much I've been influenced by Chiron lately. And I'm completely awed and amazed. Pluto is transiting the early degrees of Capricorn, has been trining my natal Chiron in Taurus in the 10th house, where also my progressed Midheaven is. I feel so much that I am in some sort of flow, with a heightened intuition (the pineal gland is connected to the third eye chakra), where the insights just keep coming, one thing leads me to another in a beautiful flow... Wanting to make the process visible to others by writing this blog could be the 10th house part of it.

So, dear readers, even if you don't have anything going on with your astrological Chiron right now, I still feel that he is of great importance in these particular times. In my understanding, evolving consciousness and dimensional attunement is pretty much what it's all about, right now.

Wish you love and joy,
Anna
