THE CIRCUIT of the DRAGON NEMESIS’ SUPPOSED ELLIPTICAL ORBIT Great Signs in the Heavens by Luis B THE CIRCUIT OF THE DRAGON NEMESIS’ SUPPOSED ELLIPTICAL ORBIT Great Signs in the Heavens by Luis B. Vega [email protected] www.PostScripts.org for online PDF illustrations in Chart section ‘Then another Sign appeared in Heaven: a huge Red Dragon with 7 heads, 1o horns, and 7 royal crowns on his heads. His tail swept a .33 of the stars from the sky, tossing them to the Earth. And the Dragon stood before the Woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as He was born.’ –Revelation 12:3-5 Nemesis is believed to have a ‘comet’ like elliptical orbit. Based on some models, this 2nd sun has been coming from the region of Centaurus and from under the Ecliptic. It is supposed to have a counter-clockwise direction from the rest of the planets in the Solar System. Zecharia Sitchin was the first to present the thesis that this Nemesis 2nd sun has a comet-like elliptical orbit around the Sun because it is a binary system of stars. The frequency Sitchin determined was that of a 3600 year or 1 Shar duration. Other researchers more recently like that of Gill Broussard has proposed an alternative but compelling orbit of approximately 360 years. There is another possible misunderstanding as the Sumerians referred to the passing of Nibiru on a ‘yearly’ cycle, being a year or Shar of 1 cycle of 3600 years. The context of this comprehension depends on whose year? Nonetheless, the 2nd sun is supposed to orbit the Sun on a ‘yearly’ bases. Again, the supposition of what is not known or fully understood is cause to interpret and extrapolate a natural inclination to try and explain the ancient context of a there and then. The definition of the Planet of the Crossing notion comes from the Red Dwarf sun or Black Sun that is configured to appear like a ‘cross’ in the sky from Earth’s perspective. This configuration is attributed to the Nemesis having 7 satellites or planets at various orbits as understood by the ancient cultures. As to where it is currently, it is a matter of debate. There are those that speculate that the trajectory of the Planet X system is coming from the South Pole below the Ecliptic and then up and over the Sun. For such reasons various infrared telescopes both in space and on the southern latitudes have been constructed. One of the most notable ones is the one in the South Pole. It would stand to reason to have such telescopes aimed at the southern skies as the incoming star system would be seen best from this vantage point. The reason being also is that a Red Dwarf sun is in essence a failed sun that did not ‘ignite’ and has shrunk to a condensed mass that absorbs light. It is hard to detect and thus is often also referred to as the Black Sun. 1 The Clues to the Circuit This study suggests that the trajectory of Nemesis has a path or trajectory that loops around the Stargates of the Cosmos. Based on this assumption, the trajectory model when placed against the zodiac presents a very interesting path. The following is a proposed circuit of Nemesis with its elliptical orbit pattern. The clues will be pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle as only certain pieces of information can be assessed based on what is public information and researched already. The piecing together of what could be the elliptical orbit of the 2nd sun of the Solar System is circumstantial at best. As of now, there has been no real assertion of what that the orbit is or will be. Perhaps the space and intelligent agencies of the world do know as does the Vatican that is also tracking Nemesis with its L.U.C.I.F.E.R. infrared telescope. A tapestry will be configured using the Cosmos as the canvas backdrop. The various pieces will be place and explained to configure the overall speculative orbit of the Red Dragon. To start off with, the Ecliptic line will be the center piece and delineation of the canvas. At either side of the Cosmos for the purposes of illustration will be the 2 Celestial Gates of the Heavens and identified. These are the Golden Gate in the south and the Silver Gate in the North. The border line of the Zodiac occurs in the middle of the Canvas, in the West direction. The beginning of the Zodiac or Mazzaroth starts with Virgo and end or concluded with Leo. According to the research of E.W. Bullinger, the Mazzaroth is in itself a tapestry of the Gospel message written in the Stars. This is the ‘Silent Witness’ that the Apostle Paul refers to as a witness in the book of Romans. This witness is against a rebellion human race that seeks only excuses for believing that a ‘god’ or Creator cannot possibly exist, nor that He is a moral and just one that requires accountability for one’s actions. This depiction of the Cosmic canvas will be from the perspective of viewing it from Earth. Of interest, this rendition of the Cosmic canvas has the Celestial Meridian as a perfect circle. Although this Cosmic canvas is 2 dimensional, realize that the rendering of the elliptical orbit of Nemesis is 3 dimensional at best and will only and can only approximate a schematic drawing on such a chart. From this point on, now that the parameters of the Cosmic canvas have been established, one will piece together the various clues as researched from ancient depictions, innuendoes, occult texts, and supposed scientific references. As the elliptical path of Nemesis, or the 2nd sun which is believed to be a Red Dwarf has a counterclockwise orientation, the illustrated pieces to be composed onto the Cosmic canvas will start on the northern side that is the right side with the Silver Gate. A major piece of evidence comes from the ancient renderings of Egyptian depictions or the Apis bull or Taurus. They are always signified by a red disc orb in-between the horns of Taurus. Many believe that this signifies the Sun as it does travel on the Ecliptic in- between the horns of Taurus. Thus it is natural to suppose that the Egyptians referenced this astrological motif as a ‘god’. 2 The Silver Gate Much of the ancient Egyptian carvings, artistic reliefs and paintings, this disc is not concerning the Sun as in the center of the present day Solar System. This study strongly suggests that it is in fact the depiction of Nemesis, the Red Dwarf that the ancient cultures revered as the Destroyer, the Judge, the Red Dragon, etc. This is why the Sumerians depicted Nemesis with weights and measures. The subsequent clue comes in the form of the major Star of Taurus, that of Aldebaran. It is called the Bull’s Eye. In other occultic renderings, it is associated with the Eye of the Beast, as in the Dark Lord, Lucifer. Another major clue to Nemesis’ possible having an elliptical orbit is in the constellation of Orion. He is one of the 2 Guardians of the Galaxy that is as a sentinel over the Silver Gate. He is depicted below the Ecliptic as opposed to Ophiuchus at the Golden Gate guarding it above the Ecliptic. There are 2 major clues in this celestial motif. The first has to do with the edge of the outstretched arm of Orion. In various depictions of Orion, he either has a bow and arrow or holding an animal as if about to clobber it. The other clue has to do with the angle of the supposed orbit. The same angle would parallel that of the 3 famous belt stars of Orion. Many other researchers have studied and concluded that the Giza pyramid complex does mirror this star alignment. This theory goes back to the first researchers of such things as Robert Duvall. There does appear to be a ‘serpentine’ encrypted nuance to the Pyramid’s configuration and sacred geometry. The last clue of Orion has to do with the impressive Horseshoe Nebula. Many believe it should be in fact, the Dragon Nebula instead. As one plots these various points onto the Cosmic canvas based on an elliptical path, the subsequent point that has had some inferences to possible Nemesis sightings occurs in Canis Major. The trajectory of the elliptical path would follow along the star Sirius, or the Dog Star. In the occult, Sirius is identified with a star portal and the Queen of Heaven, which is Isis or Diana among many others. The subsequent point on the orbital path of Nemesis has had some inferences to possible sightings occurring in the constellation of Centaur. This is where the Southern Cross is situated and the star Rigil Kent is set. It is one of the brightest stars in the known Universe. The elliptical trajectory passes right through the Southern Cross that to those ascribing Nemesis as an agent of judgment see this as a corresponding alignment. Also, it has been stated in various conspiratorial discussions that in previous scientific arguments and speculations of its position, it was thought to be in this region when the notion of a Planet X was first discussed publically. This was back in the 1950s when NASA and other U.S. government intelligent agencies started to seriously explore this Nemesis phenomenon. This was over 50 years ago but many who were living at that time speculated that their present generation had ‘nothing to worry about’ as 50 years seemed like an eternity in comparison to the present day.

This belt is considered special because it is where the sun, the moon, and the planets all move. The word zodiac means “circle of figures” or “circle of life”. As the earth revolves around the sun, different parts of the sky become visible. Each month, one of the 12 constellations show up above the horizon in the east and disappears below the horizon in the west. If you are born under a particular sign, the constellation it is named for can’t be seen at night. Instead, the sun is passing through it around that time of year making it a daytime constellation that you can’t see!

  • Astronomy for Kids - Leo
    Astronomy for Kids - Leo The Lion Leo is another companion to Orion in our night sky. You can easily find Leo any Leo Map time that Orion is visible by looking East of the Great Hunter. Although Leo is not as large as Orion, it's distinctive shape makes it very easy to pick out. If you click on the link for the map of Leo on the right, you will notice that the outline of the lion's head and the triangle formed by the stars in the lion's hindquarters are two very distinctive shapes that make this constellation very easy to spot. A map of Leo. Regulus - the Heart of the Lion The largest and brightest star in Leo is Regulus. This large blue star shines brightly as the heart of the lion. Although not a giant star, Regulus is still over five times as large as our Sun. A small telescope will show you that Regulus is part of what is called a "binary system". Binary stars are stars that have one or more companions that orbit around the largest star in the group, much like the planets orbit around our Sun.

Aries rules the first house, and the head (in medical astrology). The keywords are ‘I Am’. AQUARIUS The 11th sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the water bearer and of the element of air. Aquarius rules the 11th house, and the lower legs. The Keywords are ‘I Know’. ASCENDANT The first angle of the chart, and the rising sign. This house describes how a person looks, according to the characteristics of the rising sign. ASPECT Angles made by the planets in relation to each other in the natal chart. Planets in aspect to each other work in harmony with good aspects, or create tension with difficult aspects. ASTEROIDS Minor planets, mostly found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Some of these, such as Juno, Pallas and Vesta, are used by astrologers to ‘fine tune’ a natal chart. AXIS The polarity of the MC/IC and the Ascendant/Descendant. These angles are the main areas of life - career and home, and personality and relationships. Planets placed at these angles have extra power in the chart. B BENEFIC A planet or aspect that is beneficial - Venus and Jupiter are said to be beneficial planets and the sextile and trine are beneficial aspects.
