Comet C/2010 X1 Elenin, Discovery Chart, 2011 Dates, Nibiru, Planet X, Astrology.By Jamie
Elenin is a Great Comet, meaning that unlike the average one comet per year which is barely visible, Elenin will be particularly bright. It will be visible in October 2011. The tail of this comet is nearly 1 million km long and it takes nearly 12 thousand years to orbit the Sun.
It is expected that it’s trajectory will be unstable, being altered by the gravity of the inner planets [1].
This is because it will pass between Earth and the Sun. This highly elliptical and very long orbit is also why many are calling Elenin Planet X or Nibiru, the Planet Crosser. The last time Elenin visited us was about 9800 BC, the beginning of the Neolithic Age.
This was when we started farming, cultivating crops and domesticating animals. It was an evolutionary leap away from nomadic hunting and gathering, we began living together in small villages and built mud-brick, one-room round houses. We were still using stone tools and had not yet learned how to make pottery. This was also when we first built temples for worship.
Global sea levels were rising dramatically following the end of the last ice age. Throughout the history of astrology, the appearance of comets was a sign of upheaval for humanity, effecting agriculture and the weather. Comets were also seen as heralding the rise to power of an “agent”, a miltary or religious leader, or a reformer.
“When the place of perihelion is transited by Mars or the Sun, effects begin in earnest, the decree is implemented and arrangements change radically” [2]. The perihelion is the the point when the comet is nearest the Sun, so I’ll look at that and some other key dates during our close encounter with Elenin. First though, I’ll look at the discovery chart for clues to the nature of this comet. Comet C/2010 X1 Elenin was discovered by Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin on December 10, 2010 at the ISON-NM observatory near Mayhill in New Mexico, U.S.A. [3].
In the discovery chart below, the comet is at 01°24 Libra. So Elanin is square Mars by less than half a degree, we won’t find that interpretation in a text book, so I’ll guess it means this comet will give us an uncomfortable adrenalin rush. Mars is conjunct a star cluster in the arrow head of Sagittarius. This cluster is called Spiculum, Latin for spear. The Spiculum was used by Roman infantrymen as their main throwing javelin from 250 AD. Elenin square Mars in the tip of the spear, that sounds dangerous.
Marina found that Sun square Lilith “seems to create incredibly strong-willed, feisty individuals who take it upon themselves to become spokespeople for the disadvantaged or for gritty, dark issues that are disturbing for the public in some way.” Mercury conjunct Pluto reinforces the darker side of the message, a deep mystery to be solved, intense scrutiny and even a pathological compulsion to understand. We are drawn to it with Mercury and Pluto conjunct the North Node, and Mars in the stellium make this all the more alluring.The rise to power of an “agent” could well be military with that stellium, but also a religious or spiritual messenger with the North Node on another fixed star in the Bow of the Archer called Polis, which “shows up in a horoscope with almost the regal qualities of mighty Regulus. Only this star, Polis will indicate more of the high office in spiritual life, Pope, Iman, Archbishop” [4].
Pluto in there does make any agent sound like a reformer, strong message Mars Mercury. I also picked up a similar theme with the Jupiter Saturn Opposition at the end of March, “we could see the emergence of a voice which unifies the popular need for freedoms and change, with a spiritual message that sounds appealing, but which may have dangerous consequences. Perhaps even a female voice with Venus, Ceres and Lilith in on the action.”
Mercury and Pluto are on the June 2010 Lunar Eclipse degree, still in effect when Elenin was disovered. Marina wrote about this eclipse in Praying to Aliens (I’m not kidding). In the Elenin discovery chart, Mercury, Pluto, and the Lunar Eclipse are all on a fixed star in the Bow of Sagittarius called Kaus Australis, “Associated with the Goddess Istar (Ishtar, Inanna)” [5].
Inanna was the Sumerian goddess of sexual love, fertility, and warfare. This comet may well have the feminine goddess energy of Inanna, Venus is rising and sextile that stellium. The rising star is Syrma in the Virgin, relating to the “heavy personal responsibility which is implicit in the occult questing and acquisition of spiritual power..the ‘secret of life’ [reached though] a transcendental state of consciousness” [5].
There is definitely the dark goddess feel to this story, the rise of the matriarchy, the warrior priestess, Lilith Revolution.
Now to some important dates. “The comet came to opposition at 178° from the Sun on March 14 and will come to opposition again on November 22 at 175° from the Sun.” [1] That first opposition was just a few days after the Japan Earthquake, so late November is worth keeping an eye on. In the chart for that earthquake, Elenin was 27°38′ Virgo, opposite Uranus and Lilith, and making a grand square with the Lunar Nodes.
On September 10 2011 Elenin will make is perihelion, it’s closest appraoch to the Sun. “When the place of perihelion is transited by Mars or the Sun, effects begin in earnest, the decree is implemented and arrangements change radically” [2].
The place of the perihelion is 14°25 Libra. The Sun was there on October 8 2010, Mars on August 22 2010. Saturn is also retrograding over this degree, the dates being November 29 2010, March 28 and August 24 2011.
March 28 is also the date of the Jupiter Saturn opposition, a major turning point. At 14 Libra is the fixed star Algorab in the Crow.
The April 3 New Moon is opposite this degree. On October 8, Elenin will make its closest apparent pass to another comet called 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková.
On October 16 2011, Elenin will make its closest pass to our planet in it’s 12000 year orbit. I have started work on a Comet Elenin Ephemeris but have not yet calculated the positions for October.
