Our Earth reaches the point of Equinox in our dance with the Sun at 2124 UTC on 20 March 2023, which will be 1424 Pacific Time (or 2:24pm) and 1724 Eastern Time (or 5:24pm) in North America, and which will already be 21 March in parts of the world East of Western and Central Europe and West of the International Date Line.
It is the Spring Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere, and the Fall Equinox for the Southern.
The ancient system which forms the foundation for the world's Star Myths from every inhabited continent and island of our globe imbues the heavenly cycles with esoteric significance, and the seasonal cycle of our annual dance with the Sun forms one of the most central of the cycles incorporated metaphorically into the ancient myths.
In that cycle, the "crossing points" of the two Equinoxes are invested with tremendous importance, having to do with our "plunge down" into this incarnate life and our "crossing upwards" into spirit. I follow the analysis of Alvin Boyd Kuhn on this subject and agree with him on most points regarding the significance of this annual cycle and the four critical points of Summer Solstice, Fall Equinox, Winter Solstice, and Spring Equinox.
The ancient monuments of the world often incorporate solar alignments and special indicators which mark some or all of the great stations of the year (Equinoxes and Solstices), as do the passage mounds of Ireland and the great megalithic stones of Stonehenge. On the island of Malta, the temple of Mnajdra (shown above) is aligned to the Equinoxes, and also incorporates features to mark the Solstices. The massive work involved in the mounds of Ireland or the circles at Stonehenge or the cyclopian walls of Mnajdra and the other monuments on Malta go far beyond anything needed for simply "telling the seasons" or "knowing when to plant crops."
The complex at Mnajdra is very old, possibly dating back to 3600 BC (or BCE) -- more than 5600 years ago -- and yet its alignments remain intact to this day. As I have pointed out long ago in my first book, the ongoing alignments of these very ancient sites demonstrate that "continental drift" has not been going on at the rate that the conventional proponents of tectonics argue that everything is drifting.
I discuss some flaws in the current model of tectonics in earlier posts on this blog, as well as in a video I made a couple years ago which discusses a radically different model for the mechanics of our solar system from the Keplerian model that we are all taught in school (YouTube has added a helpful caution that "flat earth" is erroneous -- ignoring the fact that I have never argued for a flat earth and have in fact provided abundant evidence which anyone can examine in order to understand that we are not on a flat earth).
It is a good time to watch this video again, as we reach this important point in our Earth-Sun dance:
At this time of Equinox, I wish all who are reading this blessing and healing and a new start.
