End of the World Dream Interpretation

End of World Dream Interpretation becomes vital during a time of great change. For example, with all the talk about 2012 and predictions of the end of the world  during the end of 2012, I was delighted to find The Complete Dream Book: Discover What Your Dreams Reveal About You and Your Life, which has a dream interpretation for “The End of the World” dreams.

Just in case you’ve recently had an end of the world dream and fear it may be a true prophecy, let me assure you that, according to author  Gillian Holloway, Ph. D., end of the world dreams are quite common.

Prediction 2012

I’m reading so many different predictions about 2012. Most of them sound pretty New Age soft and fuzzy. For example, what does it matter that supposedly the earth will line up with the Galactic Center on the Winter Solstice of 2012? Right now, the earth lines up with the center of the Milky Way three days before December 21. Do three days really matter that much?

The Mysterious Maya

The ancient Mayan civilization seems to have sprung up out of nowhere, similar to the ancient Egyptian civilization.  They had a calendar more accurate than the Europeans. They used the “zero” in their mathematical calculations. They built amazing pyramids. Then they abandoned their huge stone cities. The cities fell to ruin. Today, the modern Maya learn about the 2012 prediction from the work of archeologists. Where did their ancient knowledge come from? Where did it go?

Galactic Center is in 26 degrees Sagittarius

I just learned that the Galactic Center is in  26 degrees, 45 minutes of the constellation Sagittarius.

What does this mean?

1. Almost all the planets of the solar system, including the sun and moon, travel in a very narrow part of the sky called the ecliptic.

2. The ecliptic forms a circle of 360 degrees–half of it is not visible because that half is on the other side of the earth. As the earth turns, you can see the whole ecliptic.

3. The ecliptic is divided into 12 sections of 30 degrees each.

4. These 30-degree sections are represented by different constellations which are star clusters that happen to be in the very narrow band of the sky called the ecliptic.

5. These constellations are the signs of the zodiac.

6. That 30-degree section of the sky where the Sagittarius constellation is located is also the area of the sky where the center of the Milky Way galaxy is.

7. In Sagittarius, 26 degrees and 45 minutes into the section, is specifically where the galactic center is located.

Southern Cross Astronomical Society

I’ve been talking about all the things I’ve learned about the Galactic Center in Sagittarius. This information came through my association with amateur astronomers at the Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys.

If you’re interested in attending the Winter Star Party, you can learn more about it at the Southern Cross Astronomical Society (SCAS) web site. SCAS sponsors the event.

Most of the attendees bring a telescope, although the first year we attended, we went empty-handed to see if amateur astronomy appealed to us. Here’s a link to the SCAS site:

2012 Prediction – Sagittarius is the Archer

Yes, I know that the constellation Sagittarius is supposed to be an image of an archer, specifically a mythological human/animal mixture with the head and torso of a man and the body of a horse.

However, if you join the dots of the stars, you’ll see that the main part of the Sagittarius constellation really does look like a teapot.

Go figure. Whoever originally named Sagittarius must have had a good imagination or a good reason to call it “The Archer.”

Take a look at this great photo by Jerry Lodrigus, which I also linked to in the previous post. Just hold your cursor over the picture to see the image made by the stars in Sagittarius.

There is more to the constellation than the teapot, but the easy way to find Sagittarius in the sky is by looking for the teapot.

I guess the rest of the constellation are the legs of the horse and the archer’s arm and bow and arrow or something like that. It sure looks like a teapot with decorative ribbons attached to me.

2012 Prediction – Sagittarius Constellation

A great photo of Sagittarius and the Milky Way.

In this photo, you only have to hold your cursor over the image, and the dots will join themselves to form the teapot image. In this image, the teapot spout is facing the right.

In my previous post, “Prediction 2012 – Sagittarius Looks Like a Teaput,” the teapot spout is facing the left.
