Easy-to-read explanation of Mayan astronomy, precession, the dark rift of the Milky Way and galactic alignment.

John Major Jenkins in conversation with Doghead Cola in mid-1999

Smelyakov has corrected the calculations of Jean Meuss and has calculated that it takes 39 years for the Sun to precess through the Galactic Equator...The alignment zone given for the era of the Great Celestial Conjunction is 1978-2017 with a midpoint of the conjunction in May 7 1998.

By John Major Jenkins. An overview of his books about the ancient Mayans, and the Galactic Alignment

In fact there is an alignment between the Sun and the Galactic Equator at the time of Winter Solstice, but it has already happened. It happened back in 1997 [21st December 1997 AD 14h 43m GMT].

The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator. This alignment occurs as a result of the precession of the equinoxes.

In our present time another Great Celestial Conjunction occurs after roughly 6500 year in between the years 1978-2017. This event coincides with the Maya Calender ending on the winter solstice of 2012. In this article we will demonstrate how the knowledge of the Great Celestial Conjunction is encoded in the Tarot.
