There Was A Time When The Moon Did Not Exist In The Sky

moonV Archive – In ancient writings and traditions one can find proof of a time when the moon did not exist. Democretus and Anaxagoras mention that there was a time when no moon could be seen in the night skies. In describing the history of the Greek region of Arcadia, Aristotle writes that the Pelasgians lived in the area since very old times; at a time when the moon did not exist.

Apollonios from Rhodes mentions something similar; he talks about a time when not all of the celestial objects existed in the sky; before the time of Deucalion’s and Pyrra’s generation (before the cataclysm); when the moon did not exist and the only humans that existed were the Pelasgians living on the mountains of Arcadia (region in Greece). These inhabitants of Arcadia where also known as Proselenes (meaning “those that were before moon” in Greek). Continue reading

Astrology Forecast June 9–16 2019 – Big Dreams or Big Disappointments?

moonLorna Bevan – Without sugar coating it, the astrological weather is stormy. For many, it is going to be a week of challenges, roadblocks and delays. For others, opportunities to dream large, to be extra creative and to make a personal breakthrough. It all depends on which time-line you’ve chosen. The seismic window to Monday June 17th’s doozy of a Full Moon opens on Thursday, suggesting that feelings of pressure and stress will build.

There are multiple Sun/Mercury/Mars contacts with Neptune/Pluto/Saturn and the Nodes of Fate, so events will play out in your personal life as well as in the collective. The real volatility arises from both Mars and Mercury – both at maximum impact – conjuncting the Node of Fate and opposing Saturn/Pluto/karmic South Node of Fate right on the midpoint of the July 2 + 16th eclipses. This is a preview of coming “attractions” so pay attention to the issues that arise for you – they will intensify in the next 3 weeks to the eclipses.

A Last Quarter Moon of Awakening to Truth

moonLeslie Benson – The May 26th Last Quarter Moon is a subtle call to inspiration and higher consciousness as an intense lunation cycle of May draws to its conclusion. This final lunar phase is the time when the brilliant light of the Moon is three quarters of the way in its journey of ultimately fading back into darkness.

We symbolically see this as a time of letting go, surrendering and exhale. We find the Moon at 5º in watery nebulous Pisces making a square aspect to the Sun in quick-minded Gemini, AND, interestingly, completing a T-square with the asteroid Ceres in the expansive fires of Sagittarius. This paints a picture of dynamic tension that’s asking us to focus on what really nourishes us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and to let go of the things we reach for out of habit or addiction that don’t truly feed us.

Scientists Discover That Earth’s Atmosphere Extends Far Beyond The Moon

moonNiamh Harris – Scientists have discovered that the Earth’s atmosphere stretches much farther than previously thought and extends far beyond the Moon.

Using  data from over 20 years ago, a team of researchers measured just how far the outermost part of the atmosphere goes

The study was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics

RT reports: We now know that the atmosphere surrounding our planet stretches 630,000km (391,464 miles) away and is 50 times the diameter of Earth, thanks to the discovery and analysis of decades-old data by scientists at Russia’s Space Research Institute.

It means that the Moon is part of our atmosphere and not outside of it. In fact, it’s actually located right in the middle of our atmosphere, at an average distance of 384,400 kilometres (238,855 miles) from Earth. Continue reading
