The year 2012/2013 in a nutshell

The information of this formation is really amazing and a remarkable example of extreme precision. At a close look the formation contains many small details, that all have a meaning. The following picture summarizes the head-lines of this formation:

As later will be clarified, the white line of this image refers to the year 2012 from the 1st January until the 31st December. Apart from that, two circles refer to January and February, while this is followed by a period of 12 lunar months (353 days, yellow line), from the 1st March 2012 until the 16th February 2013 inclusive. The following picture gives a detailed explanation:

It’s very notable that the spikes of the lower left and lower right circles form a cross with the spikes of the 2 times 6 circles (marked blue) above it. As depicted underneath, the spikes are a representation of the sun-beams, while the cross is a symbolic representation of half moon: the sun and the moon form a cross in the zodiac. This lunar phase marks the beginning of a lunar month, each represented by the 12 circles with spikes. Note that the lunar month is about 29.5 days only, considerably shorter than the Gregorian calendar month. January and February have been depicted separately (left under) and don’t belong to these 12 lunar months. So this cycle starts on the 1st March 2012 and indeed the day of the 1st March 2012 precisely starts with a First Quarter Moon (half moon, waxing)! As the 60 days of January (31 days) and February (29 days) fairly good correspond with 2 lunar months, this is also true on the 1st January 2012.

Before explaining the significance of this 12 lunar months, I first go into the question why this cycle starts on the 1st March? The reason is that the 1st March actually is the beginning of the year! We can still notice this by the names of the months (Septem = 7, Octem = 8, Novem = 9 and Decem = 10) and by the fact that the leap-days are added to the “rest-month” February, but there is also a compelling reason for that from a calendrical point of view. This is related to the so called Metonic cycle. This is a cycle of 19 years which precisely equals 235 lunar months. However as the number of leap days in this period can vary from 3 to 5, the period is sometimes considerably shorter. Thanks to the shortened month February, this means that 235 – 1 = 234 lunar months still always fit in a period from the 1st March until the 31st January 19 years later. This is important as 234 = 2 x 9 x 13, while 9 and 13 are the numbers of divine creation; 13 months are to be considered as a “time-wave”. Generally, the first 12 lunar months of the last time-wave of the Metonic cycle are fairly good represented by the 12 calendar months (January until December), while the 13th lunar month that completes this cycle corresponds with January. The rest-month February that follows is a month “out of time” (it doesn’t belong to a time-wave) that completes the 19th solar year. This corresponds with the 235th lunar month, but can be 2 days shorter.

This means that the last Metonic cycle ends in February 2012, while the 1st March 2012 is the start of in this case only 12 lunar months instead of a Metonic cycle. The point that represents the end of this cycle on the 16th February 2013 has been depicted on exactly the same height as the beginning of this cycle on the 1st March 2012 (dotted line). Despite the fact, this period is less than a year, it represents a completed cycle and the end of this cycle even implies the end of the Gregorian calendar! In this case, the beginning and ending of each lunar month is determined by the day on which the lunar phase is a First Quarter Moon. The central line of “moons” of the formation represents the Gregorian calendar months. As the crop circle makers didn’t hand us a manual how to interpret this, there are 2 options:

1 The first “moon” simply follows the month January underneath (depicted black), which then represents the month February. In this case the upper most moon represents the month May. Above this month there is a horizontal line that represents the transition to new age. This makes sense as the 1st June is the true end-date of this age (see end_of_time ). As the period from the 1st March 2012 until the 1st June 2012 equals 3 months, the position of the sun on both dates exactly form a square. This relates to the square of the First Quarter Moon, as the position of the sun on the 1st June exactly equals the position of the moon on the 1st March. The 7 circles above this line represent the 7 remaining months (June until December) of the year.

2 The first “moon” follows the months January and February underneath the white dotted line and represents the month March (white). In this case the upper most moon represents the month June. However as the circles above the line represent a minimum of 6˝ months (2 circles are only partial), it’s more likely that this represents only the first half month of June. This fits, as the 14th June 2012 is the day of the recreation of the world. In that case the 6th month partly merges in the “spikes” to the left and right and these spikes get an additional meaning: Like the spikes of the other circles, these spikes refer to the lunar phase. As the upper most circle actually represents the dates of the 1st and the 14th June 2012, these spikes represent the lunar phases of these dates. To these dates also belong a point of time and it turns out that the yellow and purple lines perfectly match with the lunar phases on the given dates and times! On the 1st June the angle of 135° actually corresponds with the angle between the sun and the midpoint of the moon and Saturn on that day. On the 14th June, the angle of the lunar phase actually is 53.5°, while the angle of the formation is 58°. However this value corresponds with the angle between the moon and Neptune on the specified time. The reason that the crop circle makers referred to this angle is very probably due to the fact that 53.5° doesn’t correspond with any astrological aspect, while an angle of 58° still can be considered as a sextile (angle of 60°). Early on the day, during the heliacal rise of  Venus, Jupiter and the Pleiades, the lunar phase exactly corresponds with a sextile indeed and this is the actual harmonic relationship between the sun and moon on this day. Note that at a closer look the formation is not 100% symmetrical and it’s obvious that the (direct or indirect) accurate representation of the lunar phases on the dates and times are the reason for that!!!

These long spikes have also been connected with the third and tenth lunar month. The 21st December 2012 is an important date as it completes the erection of the new world tree and this date marks the very start of the eleventh lunar month. When we draw a line parallel to the line at the top of the formation, we come out at a point in the formation that corresponds with the 5th May. This day is an important starting point as this is the bridge between the planetary alignment on the 5th May 2000 and the recreation of the world 40 days later (see “the erection of a new world tree” milkhill3 ). It must be noted that the real transformation period in the year 2012 is from the 20th May (solar eclipse and begin of time-wave) until the 21st December 2012. When a line is drawn from the point that represents this date, we come at a point that represents the 3rd April in the central line (black variant). This is very remarkable as this is the date on which a Venus-Pleiades-conjunction will occur. This happening indeed will be connected with the solar eclipse, as the solar eclipse will take place in a conjunction with the Pleiades! Also the line between the 5th May and the 21st December 2012 crosses a point in the central line that has a meaning, namely the 20th March or the beginning of spring. The beginning of spring and the winter-solstice clearly have been connected as the position of the sun on both dates forms a perfect cross in the zodiac.

The 2 circles that have partly been merged into the large circle at the top of the formation also have a meaning. When adding 47 days to the 31st December 2012, this is the 16th February and the end of the Gregorian calendar. When subtracting 47 days from this date this is the 14th November and that is the end of the year 1433 of the Islamic calendar and the end of this calendar.

Still a few questions have to be answered. What does the lower-right circle/spike represent? In this respect we have to be aware that the 12 lunar months precisely equal 13 so called draconic months: this is the period between two passages of the moon over the ecliptic. The points where the moon passes the ecliptic are called the lunar nodes and are important as these are the points where the lunar and solar eclipses can take place. These points also have an important spiritual meaning as they refer to our origin and destination. The meaning of this points is stressed by the fact that at the beginning and ending of this cycle of 12 lunar months / 13 draconic months the moon is conjunct the south node. This is also true during the solar eclipse of the 20th May 2012. During this period the south node is conjunct the Pleiades and this is important as we know from Maya-research amongst others that the Pleiades will guide us in new age. The conjunction with the south node means that mankind will totally reconnect with his true origin, free from ego and in connection with the guidance of the stars, especially the Pleiades. The following shows how the southern node passes the Pleiades during this cycle, while at the midpoint of this cycle – the 24 August 2012 – the south node and the Pleiades are exactly conjunct.

Begin and end of this cycle also are characterized by an exact conjunction of the moon with the south node (along with a First Quarter Moon). On the 24th August however, the moon is precise conjunct the north node opposite to the south node. Note that there is a perfect cross on this day and this day corresponds with the transition from the 6th to the 7th lunar month. In the formation this is also represented by a cross! On this day the bridge between the origin in connection with the Pleiades and the new destination of mankind (north node) is built.

Now we can also understand the meaning of the 13th month in the formation: this is a symbolical representation of the time-wave of 13 draconic months. Also the question why the spike of the 13th month right under has been twisted with 19 degrees (see above) can be answered, as the 19 degrees exactly equal the clockwise rotation of the south node during the period of 12 lunar months!! This is very compelling evidence that the interpretation of the 12 lunar months / 13 draconic months is correct!

But there are a few more indications that the description as given here is fully correct. A point of mayor importance is that on the day of the formation (29th July, 00:00 UCT), the lunar phase also was an exact First Quarter Moon! When multiplying day-number and month-number of the end-date of the Gregorian calendar (16th February 2013), we get 16 x 2 = 32. This number exactly equals the number of lunar months between the day of the formation and the start of the cycle on the 1st March 2012!! Note furthermore that this is the second formation within 5 days that refers to the end of the Gregorian calendar (see Smeathe ) and this is – as far as I know – the first time in the history of crop circle formations!
