Jay Leno had the scientist who basically demoted Pluto on tonight (and Jimmy Fallon) and he mentioned this asteroid hurtling toward Earth that they discovered in 2004. I hadn't heard of it, though I'm assuming many have already discussed this. Chance of hitting in 2029.. and if not it probably will get close enough that it will hit the next time around in 2036. So, in twenty years or 27 years. Santa Monica, CA I think is where they said it would hit. The first link is the Wiki and the next links are from the Greek where they picked the name since they kind of laughed it off (well, the scientist didn't, he was very serious about the name) but I think the name is obviously of interest to astrologers.
They can't Bruce Willis it away but he said something about "deflecting" it so if anyone reads up on it or already has researched it and understands how they deflect asteroids, etc., please tell, it sounds interesting.

Other Names: Apophis, the Destroyer.

Patron of: evil and darkness.

Appearance: a great serpent or crocodile.

Description: Apep was the ancient spirit of evil and destruction who dwelled in eternal darkness. Every day he would attempt to devour the Sun Boat of Ra as it sailed the heavens. Set's original role was to battle Apep and keep him from destroying the boat. Occasionally, Apep would succeed, and the world would be plunged into darkness (a solar eclipse?). But Set and his companion Mehen would cut a hole in Apep's belly to allow the Sun Boat to escape.

Apep commanded an army of demons that plagued mankind. Only by putting faith in the gods of light could people defeat the demons.

It worked to lower crime rates. It's worth a shot on killer asteroids.

quote:

---

Here, the finding was that when 1% of a community practiced the Transcendental Meditation ® program, then the crime rate was reduced by 16% on average. At this time, the phenomenon was named Maharishi Effect. The meaning of this term was later extended to cover the influence generated by the group practice of the TM-Sidhi ® program." [2]

for the life of me I can't and still don't understand how Pluto could be downgraded.

Did you mean for asteroid 99942 APOPHIS to appear under LL Astrology 2.0 instead of "Asteroid Astrology" section?

Here's MarkAndrewHolmes url too: http://markandrewholmes.com/apophis.html

I've got 99942 Apophis (death & destruction)in Leo in the 8th House, sextile Libra MC [0s], conjunct 9499 Excalibur (sense of mission)[0.32a], and conjunct 3554 Amun (to attain, to overcome, to conquer, to get past or around)[0.27a], semi-sextile Mars Cancer 7th[-0a], conjunct Jupiter Cancer 8th [4s]...(URcjJUP). We just gotta believe that everything happens as it should. And that sometimes it turns out for the better part.

We need to come together to Heal, not split apart. Death & destruction could come because we attract it through our hatreds... Hell to be birthed out of us.

I loved the StarTrek episode "Gem" where the planet gets saved because two species were willing to give up their lives for the other....

Will the bloody hatred around Washington DC ever stop? That's what you're suggesting, aren't you, through veiled language?...The destruction of our Nation as we know it?

My heart is heavy with the thought that you would smirk at the thought of "harm" to living beings, simply because they're "different" than you...

We need to be pulling together, not tearing ourselves apart. We need to pay attention, so that we are not "caught by surprise" should things turn awry a little sooner than we prepared for...

We need less distraction and more using our wills and minds to FOCUS and be found spiritually prepared. We need to dedicate ourselves anew, and to have the "technology" ready to avert such a disaster should a near-earth asteroid or other catastrophe happen in our time.
