<\/a>Bruce Scofield<\/p><\/div>Nationally known astrologer and researcher Bruce Scofield will lecture \u201c2012 \u2013 We are here \u2013 Venus transit, Sunspots, and the Maya Madness!\u201d for the Astrological Society of Connecticut on Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 7:00 PM.<\/p>\n
Meticulous keepers of time, extraordinary observers of the movements of the planets, and inventive mathematicians, the Maya devised a system of astronomy that saw the cycles of the planets as interrelated. Their dark cosmology saw humans as fighting the lords of death to secure immortality. Their astrological system of prognostication was as regular and predictable as their calendar. <\/p>\n
This year\u2019s winter solstice, December 21, 2012, coincides with the end of the Maya long count calendar. Some take this to mean that the Maya predicted this day as the end of the world while others disagree. Also this year a rare transit of Venus across the face of the Sun correlates with anticipated peaks of sunspot activity.<\/p>\n
Given the astronomical basis of the “Mayan Calendar” what should we believe about the end of this cycle of the Maya long count calendar? Are these calendar and astronomical events meaningful and should we be prepared in any way?<\/p>\n
