I think the critical date is June 10, 2012.
Everyone in my family knows that this is a Sunday, just 4 days after the interesting Transit of Venus.
Okay, I am not making this up. A few decades ago (some time in 70âs) when parental (not to mention aunties and uncles) pressure was high to find out exactly when I was planning to (finally) get married, - I mentioned the above date ( Sunday, June 10th 2012) Since everyone in my family knew I was very interested in astronomy (specially planetary motions â I had access to American Ephemeris and Nautical almanac â not to mention many years of Panchangs and had my own copy of Newcombâs tables (about 600pages of tables of sun, moon and all the planets)) my rational, I thought, would seem logical <!--emo&  --><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> After all the day is going to be a Sunday and just four days after the Transit of Venus (2004âs transit was not that convenient) <!--emo& --><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
(For the record, I found even more auspicious day to get married, but we do plan â if we are alive by then â to renew our vows on that Sunday).
Anyway coming back to:
<!--QuoteBegin-Raju+Apr 22 2007, 01:06 AM-->QUOTE(Raju @ Apr 22 2007, 01:06 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the <b>center</b>Â of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years.
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Isaac Asimov once ridiculed some popular pseudo scientific books which dealt with âage of Aquariusâ and its âsignificanceâ. The authors, of course, had no understanding of precession of equinoxes and making statements like above.
And I think the above authors absolutely have no understanding about what the above sentence implies mathematically. (IOW defined in mathematical precise terms) . Again exactly what is this âalignmentâ ? (Can some describe it in the terms of standard mathematical language?) You can always draw a straight line between any two points (Sun and center of Galaxy, for example) ⦠so what they are talking about and why it is a special event.
(I think I know what this is about â but let others take a stab at this)
(BTW, also if these these authors mean , what I think mean they mean, then event is not that "precise" Sun being about half a degree wide, at present too would eclipse the center of galaxy - rough calculations shows a period of about 20-30 years for this window which is spread around 2012)
P.S. Did any one here watch the Transit of Venus in 2004?

I did watch the transit of venus. Could see it as bright as a star.
Even mars came to the closest to Earth during that period.
That 20-30 year gap is actually a quarter of the precession cycle (72) year.
It is roughly 18 years. before and after 2012.
The change has started from 1994 to 2030.
Some say the period in 1980-2016

According to Srimad Bhagavatam - Kalki is destined to appear when the Sun, Moon and Jupiter together enters Pushya nakshatra ...it then goes to give the description of his birth etc.
This astrological phenomenon happens on 26/27th. July 2014 A.D. at 3:10 P. M. on a Sunday.

The convergence of the December solstice sun with Galactic Center:

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I think the critical date is June 10, 2012. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
the Mayans measured the 'Precession of the Equinoxes' from the Winter Solstice instead of the Spring Equinox. On 21/12/2012, the Solstice sun will align with the Dark Rift in the Milky Way (a black hole), which the Maya called the Mouth of the Crocodile, (or jaguar-toad); the Crocodile Tree being the Milky Way itself.

Kali yuga mentioned by Sanskrit scholars of the west
Prof. Dean Brown points out that most European languages can be traced back to a root language that is also related to Sanskrit - the sacred language of the ancient Vedic religions of India. Many English words actually have Sanskrit origins. Similarly, many Vedic religious concepts can also be found in Western culture. He discusses the fundamental idea of the Upanishads - that the essence of each individual, the atman, is identical to the whole universe, the principle of brahman. In this sense, the polytheistic traditions of India can be said to be monistic at their very core.

<b>The hearts of people meet through music</b>
By Hamid Golpira
<i>Dutch documentary filmmaker Frank Scheffer, who is known for the documentaries he has made on some of the worldâs outstanding composers, is in Iran to participate in a program arranged by Iranâs literary monthly Bokhara entitled âAn Evening with Frank Schefferâ, which will be held in Tehran at the Iranian Artists Forum on Thursday.
During his stay in Iran, he also plans to conduct research for his next film, which will focus on the Tehran Symphony Orchestra and its conductor, Nader Mashayekhi.
Along with Scheffer, Osnabruck Orient Festival director Michael Dreyer has traveled to Iran to attend the event as well as to hold discussions with the Tehran Symphony Orchestra and the Tehran Conservatory of Music to arrange some performances at the German festival.
The Tehran Times interviewed Scheffer and Dreyer, along with Mashayekhi, at Tehranâs Vahdat Hall on April 23:</i>
Following are excerpts of the interview.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Q</b>: <i>How do you see the global interaction in the context of the Maya calendarâs 2012 end date? Itâs not just the Maya tradition. Everybody from various traditions is saying that something is going to happen in the next few years. What are your views on that?</i>
<b>Scheffer</b>: As a matter of fact I lived a number of years in Mexico. If there was one culture in the world which was able to catch the abstraction of time, it is the Maya. Better than any civilization anywhere else in the world ever. They were able to grab time. Time is the most abstract thing.
Now science recently discovered that time doesnât exist.
Letâs say this awareness was there already for a much longer time in different cultures. Letâs say this awareness was there in ancient Persian times, in ancient Chinese times. I would say Taoism, as such, is understanding this whole idea of quantum mechanics already 3000 years ago.
Nothing is as we perceive it.
The Mayan culture, in this sense, was able very accurately to observe nature. And they figured out that at this time when we are speaking, the magnetic fields of the sun would line up in such a way that the energy of the sun and the solar winds would be so strong that they would affect our Earth.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

The Nostradamus Code: World War III
Yep... I still remember the 2000 problem paranoia and predictions of complete disaster...
I can also tell about european curse of fourteenth year, especially for France... It had problems almost every fourteenth year of every century starting from 714 AD when muslims invaded the Frank Empire and ending in 1914 when WWI got started...
2014 is approaching...

As for me I'm 99% convinced that SOMETHING is gonna happen around then. Buggered if I know what though!
Pip Pip!
The Egyptian calandar also ends in 2012.
I'm not sure if I understand the last comment. Do you have some ideas about what may happen or are you saying that you have no idea, or do you just like the idea of being buggered?
The Nostradamus Code: World War III
The book gives no new information. However, the events are proceeding broadly as prophesized. The middle east situation and the global weather disruption will be more prominent as we proceed towards the end of the decade. Iran has a major role in WW-III but believe it or not, Russia will initiate WW-III and the middle eastern alliance will follow them into Europe. There is a prophecy (not of Nostradamus) that USA will have a (beautiful but cruel) woman president and she will rule cruelly in the days of a US Civil war. Watch Iran and Syria closely, as well as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, where regimes will be toppled before WW-III. There will first be a peace between Israel and Palestinians, with Palestine being granted statehood. So afterwards, oil will be discovered in the region and war will break out over it. As for Mabus, he is one person in the Balkans, whose death will lead to the Russian invasion of Europe. Before that however, relations between Russia and the west would be strained due to a war in the middle east. The death of Mabus would be the spark, leading to the war. According to some, Mabus would be Miroljub Labus, presently the Deputy PM of Serbia. Check out the site http://ww-iii.tripod.com which analyzes some prophecies of nostradamus with reference to other prophecies on similar events.
Dude, forget Nostradamus he's so last century's paranoia.
The Mayan Calendar is what's wigging people out now. Lot's of people think something is going to happen 21st December 2012ad when the Mayan Calendar ends. Google it.
Mel Gibson is rumoured to be making a movie about it, but that's probably just a rumour with no substance. There is a book out called The Orion Prophecy (or Mystery, can't recall) which is pretty scary.
The Christian fundamentalists who believe in the Rapture might actually be on to something - though not for the reasons they think or in the way they think. *g*
The Earths magnetic frequency has been rising for a while. Used to be 7.83hz (the Schuman Resonance) but it's getting higher and nobody knows why. At the same time the strength of the field is getting weaker. When it reaches Zero point things will get very interesting. The New Agers think we are going to be in a new dimension and everyone will be psychic and nice to each other (you know quantum physics right, and that everything is just vibrating energy fields? Anyway....) The more practical think earthquakes and other bad stuff and most of us will be wiped out and it starts all over again. Virtually every culture has it that THIS is the 'final age' of man and most of it seems to be tied into the Mayan Calendar.
Terence McKenna a contemporary of Timothy Leary wrote the Invisible Landscape before he was aware of the Mayan Calendar, and he'd developed what he called Timewave theory. He could accurately predict major events in human history which he called Novelty (and which I don't really understand)and he saw it all speeding up this century (natural disasters, inventions etc) then it came to a dead halt - 21st December 2012.
Or how about this: The author, Ruth Allen noted, âThe zenith meridian at Giza runs through Jupiter at the Hyades in Taurus. The metaphor for this alignment is that the kingdom (Jupiter) will be restored to Egypt (Taurus) at that precise moment. Thus, Osiris, the Bull of Egypt, will return from the dead at 22:18:13 on December 21, 2012. If these calculations can be backed up, they will have fulfilled the ancient prophecy. It will also prove that the Hall of Records is the stars. Remember one simple fact. Everything we are and everything we can know, is within the stars. That was the fundamental synoptic meaning of the Giza complex.â
For a tongue in cheek approach to 2012 with many links to explore, you could do worse than the site hosted by physicist Dan Sewell Ward. http://www.halexandria.org/dward415.htm
As for me I'm 99% convinced that SOMETHING is gonna happen around then. Buggered if I know what though!
This Solar Eclipse on August 11, 1999 at 11:11am over Tintangel, England was considered by many in the occult to be the literal "seeding moment for the spiritual birth of the New Aquarian Messiah. It is the representative or rebirth of the Arthur archetype." The final and some say most startling piece of evidence relating the Eclipse to King Arthur is the star Arcturus, as it rose precisely to its highest point during mid-eclipse in 1999." Arcturus is known as the Star(s) of Satan [see 7th paragraph here]. Also mentioned was Angol (the Demon Star) and its relation to Prince William the future king, born of the Serpent. Still another site about the 11:11 phenomena stated "The Omen on Aug. 11th, 1999 is taking place right in front of of Leo (Christ), on the 222nd day of the year and exactly 144 days before year 2000. Nine months after, on May 5 2000, a conjunction of planets formed a 'New Star of Bethlehem' made with a single strand of planets aligned in a row." More interesting than that was the way those same planets were perfectly aligned in the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Ring for they foretold the return of a King.* This King of Terror, or future King who will come from England, combined with the 11:11 symbology and its Eclipse was ultimately to send a powerful portent to Satanists, even knowledgeable (Gnostic) Christians, telling them their long awaited 'Aquarian Age' has finally arrived and their ancient King has been reborn, meaning the spirit of Antichrist, ('the King who was') has arisen, and is soon to go into the Son of Perdition as prophesied.
Just as Christ has His 12 disciples who were as '12 Astrological Planets revolving around their central Sun,' - the Antichrist will also have his 12 Zodiacal personages placing him at center. These are his Ten subordinate Kings (or Knights), along with his False Prophet (11) and that of his Mother Goddess (12) which only adds to the Satanic interpretion of Revelation chapter 12 seen above which depicts a Woman having 12 stars above her head (...'and the Stars spell out your name..."; 12 lines to make D-I-A-N-A) who bears a Child who is to 'rule all nations'. Interestingly, the omen in Revelation 12 will literally play itself out in the western skies over Israel on March 29, 2006 during a Total Solar Eclipse of the Sun, with Virgo ('Woman clothed with the Sun, Moon under her feet') having in her belly the planet Venus (Child) with Mars (Red Dragon) seemingly awaiting nearby. It should prove interesting. "11 months after the August 11 1999 Solar Eclipse [again 11-11] brought us to the Eclipse on July 1, 2000, and what should have been the 39th birthday of Princess Diana. One year and one month after the alignment of the planets on May 5th 2000, brought us to the Druid Summer Solstice on June 21, 2001, Prince William's day of birth. On that same day there was a uniquely bright corona within the Solar Eclipse over Africa, which 'coincidentally,' William was visting at the time during part of his holiday gap year. (something even more startling and reminiscent of this event was a few months earlier, while Prince William was in Chile, came the dark shadow from a Solar Eclipse cast there). In addition to these events on June 21 2001, there were also a number of giant solar flares striking the earth as well as a comet called Linear C/2001 A2 burning through the sky, all on the same day.
Exactly one year later saw a day very much like the 1999 King Arthur Solar Eclipse, Mars [The Red Dragon] was shining front and center very bright in the early morning sky, it being closer to earth that it had been in several decades, and was placed in the constellation of the Sceptre [the Sword]. Later in the day was a news report citing a 'killer' near-earth asteroid having just missed our planet - coming within 1/3 of the distance between earth and the moon. Scientists later said had that struck earth, we would already be living in a very different world already. Again, all these strange events seem to happen around Prince William's day of birth or on other renown pagan 'holy days' within the Satanic calendar. Not since the omen by way of a comet cutting through the constellation of Cassiopeia (the Queen) in 1997 that seemingly foretold the death of Princess Diana (which occurred five short months later), have we seen so much esoteric meaning all relating to this most unique (Moon) mother and son (Sun) combination, and strange as it may sound, William Arthur was born under the three water signs in cusp (exactly matching Nostradamus' Century One Quatrain 50 prophecy as well as the Bible's Daniel 7:25). William like his mother was born under the Astrological sign of Cancer. Many of the Occult astrological signs and their encoded numerics are pointing to a single event in (future) time which mirrors an ancient Mayan calendar found in the Americas. The Occult symbol of the Ouroboros, depicting a 'Serpent of Light' (Dragon-Lucifer) residing in the heavens and eating its own tail, adorns many New Age and Satanic material of late. The symbol has its literal roots in scientific astronomy as the Milky Way, viewed at galactic central point (near Sagittarius), is seen as a Serpent seemingly eating its own tail. Occultists believe that when we reach Solar alignment with the head of the Serpent destroying itself, there will be a catastrophic change upon earth. The symbol known as the Suntelia Aion depicts our Sun rising out of the mouth of Ouroboros, which is to occur on the Winter Solstice in December 2012, the exact same date the ancient Mayan calendar ends.

Chapter Four: The Time of Troubles
Crazed leader launches nuclear bombs on Mediterranean and Europe
(Century II, Quatrains 3 and 4)
During a period of continuing unrest, the leader of a Middle Eastern country will be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. He will go to the greatest lengths over the smallest things and will not hesitate to use the weapon because of his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.
One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast will be desperate for food and will eat the fish anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a region of dark-colored cliffs.
(Century III, Quatrain 83)
The nuclear weapon being dropped by one of the Middle Eastern countries will spark off yet another war on top of that war. European nations will try to interfere to diminish the threat to oil supplies. When the European countries try to interfere, the crazed leader will use the rest of his arsenal on Europe, most striking the Italian Peninsula.
The European Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and France, will be almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt. This leader is not the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the Antichrist to rise to power with little or no opposition.
Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts
(Century IV, Quatrain 67)
A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear and coincide with the time of great geological troubles, with earthquakes and volcanoes erupting and disrupting weather systems. This will cause widespread famines, droughts, and social upheavals in unexpected places. Nations that are considered prosperous and powerful, particularly western nations, will be weakened. They will be torn with civil strife and rioting as people migrate to areas that have water and can support crop-growing. The social upheaval and weakening of political structures will help the Antichrist come to power.
The United States in particular will be subject to serious natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and flooding, and flatten the nation from end to end, causing enormous conflict, despair, and misery. The US will be bankrupted attempting to deal with its disasters. Three other great nations will send aid to help the citizens survive.
(Century VIII, Quatrain 29)
Earth changes will take place that will help the Antichrist's drive for world conquest. In central Europe, southern Europe, and in the Middle East, around the eastern end of the Mediterranean, there will be severe floods. As a result of the disruption to local governments by the natural disasters, the Antichrist will move his troops in under the guise of helping the people restore civil order, but really use this as a device to take over countries, and to use the populations like slaves.
Serious economic problems will persist along with great social unrest, contributing to the ease with which the Antichrist can seize power. The frightened and hopeful populace will be vulnerable to his rhetoric. The Antichrist will use the disasters as opportunities to overthrow governments and sneak spies into a country. Martial law will be declared in many areas to stop rioting and looting. The Middle East, the source of his power, will not be as devastated as the rest of the world. He offers assistance to other countries trying to recover but he will eventually stab them in the back.
New World Order's teeth in the international power flow
(Century II, Quatrain 58)
During the time of the Antichrist a secretive, conspiratorial cabal are "pulling the strings" behind the scenes to manipulate world politics and economies for personal gain. These master puppeteers operate figureheads in many countries, governments, and the major world capitals. They are united but are very clever in disguising their influence. They hold positions that appear to be relatively minor, like advisors and under-secretaries and such, but are key positions of their power.
In the daytime they appear to be good, loyal, model citizens working for the same goals their governments are supposedly working for, but behind the scenes they band together and pool their information and contacts to work for their own ends. They do not appear to have any political power but they really have a firm grip on world affairs.
This secret organization has been in existence for several generations. Their existence is hinted in the family histories of the banking powers and money centers of the world. Only the families involved are aware. The cabal of leaders has been very slowly but surely building up a worldwide network of power, because they want to take over but stay behind the scenes. At first when the Antichrist comes along the leaders of the Cabal regard him as a new, dynamic, youthful leader from the Middle East they can use to unite the area and reign it into their realm of control. But the Antichrist ends up turning the tables on them.
Antichrist's rise to power in Middle East
(Century II, Quatrains 23 and 81)
The Antichrist will take over Iran by using a human decoy to trick the Iranian Ayatollah in power. This will involve the "yes men" and puppets of the Ayatollah's court. The Antichrist will first drive away internal supporters of the Ayatollah by starting a civil war. Then he will put forth a man as a leader, a man for Iranians loyal to the Ayatollah to concentrate their hate on. The man will be assassinated while Iran is being taken over, and his opponents will think they have foiled the overthrow of power by assassinating him. But they will find out later he was merely a decoy and that they played into the plans of the Antichrist.
The Antichrist will initially obtain power in his own sphere, Asia, and the Middle East. As he grows out of this arena, and into Europe, the next step will be into the Mediterranean, his area of strength. Because of his Middle Eastern heritage he will have already united North Africans, who are sympathetic to his cultural background, with his Asian and Middle Eastern conglomerate.
Fiasco from communication breakdown between two superpowers
(Century II, Quatrains 35 and 48)
Through a mistake, a breakdown in communications between two powerful countries will occur. The situation is a lot more complex than will appear on the surface. The leader involved will feel great regret about what happened and will want to continue his career and help correct the situation, to help make up for the adverse affects. The entire event will be viewed as a fiasco from both sides. It will have very harmful and even cataclysmic consequences.
Third world country leader creates strife
(Century III, Quatrain 60)
A "young dark man" will arise as a leader in a Third World country; his main goal is to unite the other Third World countries to do battle with the superpowers. The area of conflict will be in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, particularly around the Adriatic and the Caspian seas and Israel. No definite winner will emerge but the strife will help set the stage for the Antichrist. Many prophecies in the Bible refer to events in this region.
War game simulation by Britain in Europe leads to disaster
(Century II, Quatrain 2)
In a war-game maneuver involving Great Britain and European troops a malfunctioning computer will cause the "real-world" situation to play out instead of the simulation. As a result of the error actual defenses will be activated and real bombs will be dropped on the areas of the game and cause a tragic international incident.
