The night stars fell – 11-12-1833

In the pre-dawn hours of November 12, 1833, the sky over North America seemed to explode with falling stars. Unlike anything anyone had ever seen before, and visible over the entire continent, an Illinois newspaper reported “the very heavens seemed ablaze.” An Alabama newspaper described “thousands of luminous bodies shooting across the firmament in every direction.” Observers in Boston estimated that there were over 72,000 “falling stars” visible per hour during the remarkable celestial storm.

The Lakota people were so amazed by the event that they reset their calendar to commemorate it. Joseph Smith, traveling with Mormon refugees, noted in his diary that it was surely a sign of the Second Coming. Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman, among many others, described seeing it. It became known as “The Night the Stars Fell.”

So, what was this amazing occurrence?

Many of those who witnessed it interpreted it as a sign of the Biblical end times, remembering words from the gospel of St. Mark: “And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.” But Yale astronomer Denison Olmsted sought a scientific explanation, and shortly afterwards he issued a call to the public—perhaps the first scientific crowd-sourced data gathering effort. At Olmsted’s request, newspapers across the country printed his call for data: “As the cause of ‘Falling Stars’ is not understood by meteorologists, it is desirable to collect all the facts attending this phenomenon, stated with as much precision as possible. The subscriber, therefore, requests to be informed of any particulars which were observed by others, respecting the time when it was first discovered, the position of the radiant point above mentioned, whether progressive or stationary, and of any other facts relative to the meteors.”

Olmsted published his conclusions the following year, the information he had received from lay observers having helped him draw new scientific conclusions in the study of meteors and meteor showers. He noted that the shower radiated from a point in the constellation Leo and speculated that it was caused by the earth passing through a cloud of space dust. The event, and the public’s fascination with it, caused a surge of interest in “citizen science” and significantly increased public scientific awareness.

Nowadays we know that every November the earth passes through the debris in the trail of a comet known as Tempel-Tuttle, causing the meteor showers we know as the Leonids. Impressive every year, every 33 year or so they are especially spectacular, although very rarely attaining the magnificence of the 1833 event.

The Leonid meteor showers are ongoing now and are expected to peak on November 18. But don’t expect a show like the one in 1833. This year at its peak the Leonids are expected to generate 15 “shooting stars” per hour.

November 12, 1833, one hundred eighty-nine years ago today, was “The Night the Stars Fell.”

I would venture to guess that since the valued

metals exist on this Asteroid , that all is being

done to redirect and salvage and profit , as

billionaire race to space , pointing to ego and greed .

Where to land ?

Unfortunately , I am aware of the mask , that

offer what is required until they feel powerful

all part of the plans to prosper ..

Boom , marriages are failing these power mongers

as veils are lifted …

I post this , laughing my head off at her very accurate

depiction of current energy ..I cannot share all that’s

recalibrating in my life , no fear as the unfolding

is confirmation and validation that ” Thy Will Is Done ”

and I know my worth and my will . I have support

and respect that has been building for 11 years

and yes I know I am in presence of many heavenly

bodies , and it’s my joy 💖 to share myself enough

to shine the light , the truth …their way is their

choice .

My fellow Pisces , I share my love 💕 and support

for you and pray for your restored energies and urge

you to rest and self nurture .

#11 is mentioned a lot , how exciting …Taking back

the magic of the number 11!

Eldest son , born 3/11 @ 11.11 and I seemed to be

the only one who had an awareness of the unique

timing my 1st born , a beautiful gift , an ” old soul”

to my 2/29 birthday , we were bonded oh high .

That was severed by psychiatry and a partner in

a state of distortion .

It’s being corrected , as Thy Will Is Done .

I have great faith and awareness born of many

influences that failed to take me from love and

peace .

Blessings & Peace ,

Magic ,Mystical , Walking & Talking Historians

It’s wisdom that is timeless as we strive to

exit negatives of past .

This morning I danced in a pj top and a sheet

and felt like my actress self as a young child.

With little furniture there is dance room and

I did and I felt renewed ..I am weary now

as I wash , dry , sort and hang cloths , much

to give away ..it’s exciting .

I was given new things , by a lady , goddess who

stole my heart with her compassionate nurture

and friendship ..So this new life is a reality .

I’m in a home to witness Mother Earth , in Spring and

Summer , having a taste of the worst of Winter

I learned a lot and my list increased of required

readiness items , lol .

But I’m good , ready for bath and bed after some

dinner .

Pay should hit and my $3.37 balance increases!

As my inheritance hits , I’m wisely manifesting

my dreams , many of childhood , many of our

sons …Beloved and never having to worry about home

or being unheard , I have such peace today , as

I am called on to aide many in abusive situations

that example the less concious , who in these

days , highlight the disparity in legal judgements .

Writing in , the lease …cannot sue company

Oh but that’s a very bad move ….

I have a suit that should be open, and it’s

clear what’s going on.

Talking legal is not fun..glad I have close and trusted

Heads Up Geo Magnetic Storms incoming


A heads up!As our nervous systems are fritzed by the incoming geo-magnetic storms, a reminder that this week, all 3 inner planets – Mercury/Venus/Mars -are changing signs together, scrambling our emotional and etheric fields. Mercury is very active, delivering messages from truth teller Pluto on January 4th, changing signs from Capricorn into Aquarius on January 8th then squaring Mars and Saturn.
I wrote on Sunday:” Expect more serious news and restrictions.” Well, as Trickster Mercury untangles and scythes through the sticky webs of what has been hidden, here it is in spades…..revelations, corruption, tighter lockdowns and more shocks to come.
Tomorrow, January 6th, Mars enters Taurus squaring Saturn and Jupiter as slippery deceptive Neptune squares the karmic Nodes of Fate. Volatile Uranus is preparing to station direct in Taurus on January 14th kicking up a storm and will conjunct warrior Mars on January 20th Inauguration Day….. expect an eruption of equally determined forces in dynamic conflict.
The polarities, divisions and splits between the New/Old, the Progressive/Reactionary, the Awake/Asleep are being intensified and exaggerated in the Aquarius/Taurus fixed sign standoff. Everything is opposite to how it seems as revolutionary Uranus is in traditional Taurus while status quo guardian Saturn is in progressive Aquarius. Neptune and the Nodes of Fate are creating smokescreens and a hall of mirrors.
Even in our 4D tribes, there are still so many making futile attempts to get back to how it used to be, so many still naïvely expecting that we can just wait for some sort of silver bullet. So much (understandable) impatience at the ongoing saturnian restrictions to our comfortable personal freedoms and casual entitlements, so many polarised into either conforming or rebelling social media camps. 
But in 2021 there is a brand-new agenda to be co-created which means we need to turn our faces towards the future. We are looking at a collapse in shared meaning of the stories/hypnosis/spells that supported the patriarchy – the end of centuries of patriarchal gaslighting. The old stories, which we had learnt to believe over our own knowing, have broken down.
There are no sides and no saviours.
Switch your B.S. detector on to a high setting – you’re going to need it.
Believe nothing except your own inner voice of truth. Shift out of 3D partisanship and the addictive drama of watching the decayed time lines self-delete. 
When you start to realise that transformation isn’t an adornment to your existing life, but its complete unravelling, everything changes.
New! You can’t outrun the lifting of the veils…… January 2021 is going to be a perfect storm as the new Aquarian frequency rolls in and not everyone will deal with it with grace, ease, honesty, sanity or stability.
