The Alignment of the 2012 Astrology

On December 21, 2012, there will be a galactic alignment that happens very infrequently (about every 26,000 years). This is what I believe is the main mystique behind all the 2012 hype. Do not read this believing that I am a nay-sayer. It may indeed be indicative of change, and change we certainly need, but I do think the astrological alignment is the backbone of it all.

Basically, we need to consider ground zero for this event. John Major Jenkins believes this will be at Izapa, located in the Mexican state of Chiapas. It is here, upon the ancient Maya ball grounds that the the aliment really takes shape. One December 21, 2012, the Solstice sun will rise in unison with the galactic center of the Milky Way.

If one is to look at the position of the Izapa ball field, the alignment is astounding. This includes paying attention to where the monuments were erected and how they faced. When on the ball field and looking north (toward the Tacaná Volcano) one can see the Big Dipper rise (the pole star is considered the polar center to the Maya) and fall over this. Then there are six council seats on the court that look over to the initiate or shamans seat. This person sits facing the horizon of the December sun. All the elements will align perfectly from this vantage point.

This goes hand in hand with the Astrology characters the creation myth provides. The Big Dipper represents Seven Macaw. The Milky Way represents the Underworld. The December Solstice Sun represent Hunaphu. With the rise and fall of the Big Dipper, it relates to the taking down of Seven Macaw. With the meeting of the Milky Way and the Solstice sun, it is the resurrection of One Hunaphu. The Milky Way passes the alignment and the Sun remains shining through.
