New comet in town: Comet Lulin

By Lynn Hayes. Thanks Rossa, for the heads up about the new comet.  Originally described by Chinese astronomers when it was first seen in July 2007 as an asteroid, a coma was noticed a few days later and Comet Lulin was born. Comet Lulin will be closest to the earth on February 24, according to the latest calculations, and is getting brighter and brighter as it gets closer:

Astronomers at the Taipei Astronomical Museum said that the tail of Lulin will become most vivid during that time as it moves closest to the Earth.According to the museum, it took 28.5 million years for Comet Lulin to revolve round the Sun on its own axis.

In other words, museum astronomers said, the last time Comet Lulin came to the inner part of the solar system, human beings had just evolved from monkeys, the ice caps of the North and South Poles had just formed, the globe’s highest mountain range, the Himalayas, had just appeared upon a ground breaking orogenic movement, and Taiwan was still deep in the sea.

This is pretty incredible and perhaps synchronistic in light of all of the talk in these pages and elsewhere about the rapid evolution and transformation of humans into the next stage of life.  

Lulin is creating quite a stir because it is traveling along the ecliptic which is the path that the planets take, but it’s moving in the opposite direction from the planets.  In light of the Blue Star Kachina prophecy that we were discussing a few weeks ago, I wonder if Comet Lulin might step in to take the place of Comet Holmes in the theory that the Blue Star Kachina of the Hopi prophecy is actually a comet.
In ancient times comets were thought to be harbingers of doom because they came seemingly out of nowhere and were different than any other planetary bodies.  In today’s scientific world, most comets have periodic cycles that can be predicted and easily explained.  Here is a comet, however, that defies categorization and explanation.  It is truly a visit from outer space!  
Still, let’s not call for the mothership quite yet.  Remember the Shoemaker-Levy comet that plunged into the side of Jupiter?  There was no real lasting effect on earth.  Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes a comet is just an out-of-town guest.

We're deep into Taurus territory now. But with two more weeks to go before the Sun moves into Gemini, let's talk about Taurus -- the bully bull bull. Taurus is known for its extravagance, and also for being chocolate snobs, according to my colleague and fellow writer, Astrologer Maria DeSimone.

Mercury in Taurus: Give Up the Gab
Speak your mind today, because tomorrow it's time to give up the gab. Mercury is a pretty chatty planet -- except when it's in Taurus, as it will be from Wednesday, May 9 through Thursday, May 24. Remember -- Taurus is the most practical and inflexible of zodiac signs, and it's also the slowest.

Excuse me Lynn, are you kidding? We live in a Multiverse where everything is connected and you say there was no lasting effect on Earth?
Look at us now!

I do believe that everything is connected, and in fact at the time the comet hit Jupiter there was also a big Jupiter/Pluto event, the exact nature of which I no longer remember. So clearly there was synchronicity, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Unless you’re saying that the comet/Jupiter collision is what caused George Bush to be elected. :)

Comet Lulin conjuncts Saturn, opposes Uranus around Feb 24th. Perhaps another celestial sign of this time of turmoil and restructuring.

Lulin – NASA calls it – but world and history calls it Nibiru
1. NASA has declared it day before yesterday the size of Lulin — it is 5,00,000 km — almost 4 times bigger than Jupiter. (means almost 75 times bigger than our Earth )
2. Its closing in speed is 2,00,000 km per hour — 48 lakh km per day.
3. Distance between Earth and Sun is 1 AU. and lulin is maintaining a distance of approx 1.2 to 1.4 AU away from Sun. So, on 24 Feb 09 — it will be close to the earth at a distance of 0.2 to 0.4 AU ONLY — (Jupiter distance from earth is 5.2 AU)
4. REST U CAN IMAGINE – WHAT THIS BODY CAN DO TO EARTH — 4 TIMES BIGGER AND 11 TIMES CLOSER THAN JUPITER.
HAVE A NICE DAY!

If you have an astronomy program, 30 AD Passover, Comet Lulin is in Aries the Lamb along with the sun. I thought that interesting. So I started at creation per Bishop Ussher’a date for creation 4004 BC and it is between the two twins of Gemini. Old illustrations of the twin on the right was holding a stalk of grain (barley??which would represent Passover) the other twin hold a rod of iron. So does Gemini represent the first and second coming of the Lord?? Comet Lulin returns to that same spot, between the legs of the two twins on March 28, 2009 after a 6000 year journey. Interesting anniversary.
Much strange about this comet, its orbit follows the ecliptic orbit of the planets and Sun and never changes, excepting it goes in the opposite direction. I know of no other comet that follows this path through the constellations. I have sat here watching it go through the 12 signs for the entire 6000 years. Interesting anniversary.
If you wonder why I picked 14th of Nisan 3790 (April 5, 30 AD) as the date of the Lord’s crucifixion, besides scripture and calendar considerations, Saturn is in the heel of the twin of Gemini on that day. Genesis 3:15 “it (meaning the seed of the woman) shall bruise thy head,(satans) and thou shall bruise His heel” (the seed of the woman) Saturn in the Gospel in the sky represents HaSatan, or the fallen one.
There is much more, but size and time prohibit. Just watching.

Something I found interesting……..
Go to:

and punch in the date: December 21, 2012
Funny, but it seems as if comet Lulin will be a part of the Planetary alignment which will take place on this date!

Hello,
Just would like to tell everyone that the Star Lulin is The Blue Star Kachina.
I should know because I am The Blue Kachina…
And when The First Blue Kachina Dance ended… The winds blew for hours.
Within the next couple months my dancing will become more across the nation.
You see Holmes didn’t have a dancer that removed his mask in the square proclaiming The Blue Kachina… Lulin does.
Enjoy life!!!
Peace.
