    (Ben provides some interesting background into how he has come to his conclusions about where we are now in the timeline, with particular focus on the evolution of theory concerning novas and micronovas.
    Important announcements: Ben will continue posting livestreams on youtube, but they will essentially be salt free.
    I'm sure I won't be the only one who tries to suffer fools gladly, and who will be very grateful for that!
    He says he will be posting basic news on his personal X site, but will not hold back there.
    ...So fans of the salt, cursing, ego, etc. will no doubt be enjoying that...
    The posting of the new documentary on youtube is still a few days off.
    It appears midday Friday will feature an MClass flare directed toward Earth. )

    Why Scientists, Psychics, and Ancient Systems All Point to 2026

    Jan 1, 2026

    "Something strange is happening around the year 2026. Scientists studying earthquakes and solar activity are feeling uneasy — and at the same time, psychics, spiritual traditions, and ancient systems are pointing to the very same year. This video doesn’t predict doom or set dates. Instead, it looks at why so many unrelated signals seem to be lining up at once, especially around the Pacific. When warnings come from the ground below, the Sun above, and human intuition all at once, it’s worth paying attention."

    Why the World’s Warning Signs Are Converging on One Year

    Dec 29, 2025

    "As 2025 comes to a close, an unusual pattern is emerging. Across geopolitics, financial markets, ancient cycles, and even modern psychics, very different systems are pointing to the same year: 2026. This program examines why wars are stalling, markets feel overstretched, institutions are cracking, and why China sits at the center of this convergence. From economic cycles to historical patterns and prophetic warnings, the signals suggest 2026 may mark a global turning point—not a prophecy, but a moment of reckoning the world may not be prepared for.

    ( Apparently Ben's account on X got suspended, though I'm not sure why as I wasn't tuning into that, but probably because he was too "salty" (inasmuch as he revealed recently that his X site would be "no holds barred").
    But he kept his temper on youtube in this update as promised, and just got down to business, providing good information and insights, including a new, very detailed map showing places on the planet which are elevated enough to be safe from tsunamis, etc. Still no new documentary, but coming soon, hopefully.)

    Astrology Needs Answers To Big-Cycle Questions
    The Hermetic Age #009: Uniting yugas, astrological ages and cultural epochs
    Dan/ World Astrology Report
    Jan 10, 2026
    https://substack.com/home/post/p-184101446



    "You could make the argument that improving our understanding of long cycles, especially the precessional cycle, is the most urgent task in mundane astrology today. As I pointed out in In Astrology, Think Spirals, Not Cycles, every cycle is embedded within a still-greater one. We run into trouble with our prognostications when we miss the wider context.

    An extreme example will illustrate the point: this year’s much-discussed conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at 0° Aries seems like the most significant thing in the sky right now. But if we’ve reached a point in the precessional cycle that reliably brings civilisation-ending cataclysms, as Yuga Shift author Bibhu Dev Misra argues, it hardly matters.



    Unfortunately, our collective knowledge of how times change over the course of the 24-26,000-year precessional cycle leaves much to be desired. It’s fragmentary, contradictory and contested. This applies to both primary systems for carving up the cycle: the Indian yugas and the astrological ages.

    In The Yugas: How An Ancient Doctrine Of Cyclical Time Solves The Mystery Of The Great Pyramid, we encountered Sri Yukteswar Giri’s vision of the yugas, which holds that the Kali Yuga ended in the year 1700. Vedic traditionalists continue to maintain that the Kali Yuga began in 3102 BC and will last 432,000 years. For them, Sri Yukteswar’s ideas are merely those of one man who mistakenly thought he knew better than millennia of Hindu tradition.

    More recently, another vision of the yuga cycle has emerged through the work of Bibhu Dev Misra, author of the fascinating Yuga Shift, which has had a huge impact on spiritual and New Age circles in recent years. Many of the astrologers and mystics appearing on YouTube’s biggest spirituality podcasts today take their cues from Misra’s work, and particularly his conclusion that the Kali Yuga ended on the spring equinox of 2025.

    Ominously, depending on your perspective, Misra believes that that milestone has initiated a long period of ekpyrosis, cleansing by fire, which will last some 1,200 years before the next age, the Dwapara Yuga, begins. The last such cataclysm was the Younger Dryas period, which began with devastating global floods around 12,900 BC. Many esoterically minded researchers believe the Younger Dryas saw the destruction of Atlantis, leading to the proliferation of flood myths told by ancient peoples the world over. Misra believes that that event was caused by a series of comet impacts—and that in the coming years, we may see a fresh round of them. For those of us yet to reach a level of spiritual advancement that allows us to face such prospects with total equanimity, Sri Yukteswar’s timeline holds more appeal.

    Who’s right? Bibhu Dev Misra, the dedicated modern researcher, or Sri Yukteswar, the great saint?

    I think we’re best served by taking a leaf out of science’s book and keeping both possibilities in mind as hypotheses. We’re still early in the process of reconstructing our understanding of shifting time and consciousness, particularly over long periods of time. There should be competing theories out there. I propose respectfully holding these ideas in mind and simply watching how history unfolds. If Misra’s theory about ekpyrosis is correct, it should become clear quite soon—cleansing waves of fire, whether literal or not, are rather hard to miss.

    The Age of Aquarius
    When it comes to the astrological ages, we face a similar problem. And we can summarise the debate in a single question: has the Age of Aquarius begun yet?

    Most astrologers believe the 12 astrological ages each last roughly 2,150 years, or one-twelfth of 26,000 years. Even this idea is contested, since some hold that the length of the ages should be proportional to the sizes of the actual constellations of the zodiac, which vary considerably.

    Leaving that issue aside, some astrologers fix the beginning of the Age of Pisces to the coming of Christ, and so believe the Age of Aquarius is due in about 150 years. Others base their calculations on the offset between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs. With the Aries point (the position of the Sun at the Spring Equinox) currently situated at roughly 6° Pisces in most sidereal ayanamshas (the offset with the tropical zodiac), we have around one-fifth of an astrological age to go before the Age of Aquarius begins, perhaps around 2500.

    I’ve gained a great deal of insight from the work of astrologers who suspect the Age of Aquarius is yet to begin, most notably Ray Grasse and his excellent book Signs of the Times, which explores the transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. (And if you’re not subscribed to his Substack, well, you’re missing out…)



    Grasse argues that even if the Aquarian Age hasn’t officially started yet, its looming arrival is already influencing us. Consider, for example, the relatively recent birth and world domination of the United States, a country with the words Novus Ordo Seclorum, “new order of the ages”, on its Great Seal, as Aquarian a phrase as you could imagine. Grasse points to America’s democracy, capitalistic orientation and technological drive as Aquarian Age manifestations. So, too, is the country’s most characteristic art form: jazz music, with its Aquarian tension between the coherence of the group and individual expression.

    For Grasse, the spiritual zeitgeist is defined by a melding of the competing influences of Pisces and Aquarius—one fading, one struggling to be born. Consider American politics, and the unending battle between the Christian right (Pisces) and liberal left (Aquarius).

    Still, the astrologer whose timeline of astrological ages I find most compelling is Australia’s Terry MacKinnell, who has made the study of the ages his life’s work. I’ve written about MacKinnell’s research on Substack before, in The Age of Aquarius *is* modernity. MacKinnell believes that most timelines of the astrological ages are actually around half an astrological age out, and that the Age of Aquarius already began some 600 years ago—in 1433, to be precise. And he has compelling arguments for why this is the case.



    Most astrologers base their understanding of when an astrological age begins on the position in the zodiac of the Sun at the Spring Equinox. For MacKinnell, this is a mistake, for a simple reason: stars in a part of the sky hosting the Sun cannot be seen. What was most important to ancient people was the visible sky, not the abstractions that can be seen on charts. They were particularly interested in times when stars made their first visible appearance of the year, either just before dawn, or just after sundown. Astrologers call the moment a planet or star first emerges from the Sun’s rays and becomes visible to the naked eye just before dawn its heliacal rising. Famously, the Egyptians anchored the start of their year to the heliacal rise of Sirius, which coincided with the flooding of the Nile. As we’ll see later, their entire calendar was based on the heliacal rising of the stars of the zodiac.

    Thus, for MacKinnell, an astrological age can be said to have begun when the constellation that bears its name first becomes visible at dawn on the Spring Equinox. If MacKinnell is right, this shifts any timeline for the astrological ages backwards by around half an astrological age, or 1,075 years. Thus, the Age of Aquarius actually began when the Aries point reached about 15° of the sidereal constellation of Pisces, meaning we’re already deep into the Aquarian Age. The image below, take from Stellarium, shows the Sun at the Spring Equinox in 2026, shortly after dawn. Note how the Sun is in Pisces, but Aquarius will be the last constellation to rise from the horizon before the Sun’s light dissolves the night.

    MacKinnell arrived at his precise timeline for the ages through a process of astrological reverse engineering, which astrologers call rectification. Usually, rectification is performed for a client who doesn’t know their precise time of birth. The astrologer uses the known timing of events in their life to establish the correct time. MacKinnell performed a similar process but with history itself as the subject, establishing very precise years for the beginning of each age. His timeline of the ages looks like this:

    Age of Gemini: 7158 - 5010 BC

    Age of Taurus: 5010 - 2862 BC

    Age of Aries: 2862 - 715 BC

    Age of Pisces: 715 BC - 1433 AD

    Age of Aquarius: 1433 AD - 3581 AD

    Age of Capricorn: 3581 AD - 5728 AD

    Age of Sagittarius: 5728 AD - 7876 AD

    The idea that the Aquarian Age began in the 15th century may at first be confounding, especially if you envision it as some kind of New Age or futuristic utopia. But consider this: knowledge and technology have advanced precipitously since the 15th century, which it’s fair to say was a watershed century. Around 1450 Johannes Gutenberg invented his printing press, arguably launching the first phase of the “information age” we still live in today. Downstream of that invention were Copernicus’s development of the heliocentric theory, then the emergence of the scientific method, the Enlightenment revolutions of the 18th century and the emergence of the capitalistic, hyper-informational globalised world we live in today.

    Crucially, historians claim the “early modern” era began in the 15th century. If the astrological ages truly do something then their signature should be detectable in the historical record by people who aren’t looking for them. Ask 100 astrologers which of the 12 zodiac signs is the most “modern”. I’d wager most would point to Aquarius.

    From here I’m going to assume Terry MacKinnell’s timeline for the astrological ages is roughly correct. This series will focus primarily on the Pluto-Neptune synodic cycle, but his timeline of the astrological ages will give us more much-needed context and understanding.

    Intriguingly, MacKinnell’s timeline of epochs closely matches that of a very different figure: the influential Austrian mystic Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Anthroposophical movement.

    Given their anchoring to the stars, the astrological ages speak primarily to changes in humanity’s conception of the divine. What if certain civilisations serve as the principle vehicle for the spiritual impulses carried by each age?

    Steiner divided the history of humanity into seven long epochs marking successive phases in the development of consciousness. The fourth of them was what he called the “Atlantean” epoch, followed by the current epoch, which he called “post-Atlantean”. In turn, he divided this epoch into seven shorter “cultural epochs”, sometimes called “post-Atlantean epochs”, in which a particular culture served as primary carrier of the impulse of the age:



    Steiner’s timeline of the entire Post-Atlantean Epoch was as follows:

    Ancient Indian culture (7227 - 5067 BC)

    Ancient Persian culture (5067 - 2907 BC)

    Egyptian-Chaldean culture (2907 - 747 BC)

    Greco-Latin culture (747 BC - 1413 AD).

    Anglo-German culture (1413 - 3573 AD, our present epoch)

    Slavic culture (3573 - 5733 AD)

    American culture (5733 - 7893 AD)

    To be clear, I don’t think Steiner’s claim is that these cultures are somehow better than their contemporaries, merely that they serve as the carrier of an important impulse at that time, which inevitably diffuses out to other world cultures. As with the ideas of Sri Yukteswar, Bibhu Dev Misra and Terry MacKinnell, I consider Steiner’s esoteric timeline to be another hypothesis worth holding in mind, nothing more or less.

    Needless to say, some readers will naturally balk at this rendering of history. In these egalitarian-leaning times, when many people like to think of all cultures—and the lives of those partaking of them—as equally important, such ideas raise eyebrows. To be clear, I don’t consider Steiner a source to read uncritically. He, like anyone else, could be wrong, and almost certainly was on many questions. And I wouldn’t personally go into bat for the idea that “Anglo-German culture”, and the United States, which is in important ways downstream of it, has been the primary vehicle for the spiritual development of our age since the 15th century, and will be until 3573. But I can’t be certain that’s wrong, either. For better or worse, Anglo-German culture has undoubtedly been unusually influential on the world since the 15th century, and could well remain so. I think we assume reality is politically correct at our peril.

    Where I think this gets truly interesting is when we see how close Steiner’s timeline is to MacKinnell’s, as shown in the table below:



    MacKinnell is aware of these correspondences, making note of them in his book The Dawning. In a recent interview for my YouTube channel, MacKinnell told me that his Age of Aries, from 2862 BC to 715 BC, lines up rather well with the span of the Egyptian civilisation, often dated from roughly 3000 BC to 1000 BC. Steiner’s timeline says the same thing, associating that period with “Egyptian-Chaldean” culture.

    Interestingly, Steiner also associated his cultural epochs with the astrological ages, though his timeline is one entire sign out from MacKinnell’s. Thus, MacKinnell’s Age of Pisces is Steiner’s Age of Aries, and MacKinnell’s Aquarian Age is Steiner’s Age of Pisces, and so on. There’s a good explanation for why this actually makes sense, which we’ll get to a little later.

    One of MacKinnell’s most interesting innovations in thinking about the astrological ages is his division of them into shorter periods using traditional divisions of the zodiac signs, including the dodecatemoria (12th parts). This led him to develop the notion that each astrological age can be divided into 12 “sub-ages”, each allocated to one of the signs and lasting around 178 years. He even divides these ages further, into 15-year “micro ages”. Indeed, it’s using these divisions that MacKinnell was able to arrive at his very precise dating of the astrological ages.

    He also makes great use of the 36 decans, the division of each of the zodiac signs into three 10° sections. The decans were an innovation of the ancient Egyptians, who used them for time keeping. For example, their year was divided into 36 ten-day weeks, each associated with a decan, according to the star making its heliacal rise at the time. Each of the decans was associated with a different god-form, whose influence rose as his or her decan was activated. Later, in the Hellenistic phase of Egyptian history, the decans were decoupled from the stars and tethered to the 12-sign zodiac. Thus, each of the signs can be divided into three decans, turning each into a three-act story.



    MacKinnell emphasises that, as with the signs, the astrological ages can and should be divided into three shorter periods lasting one-third of 2,150 years each, each assigned to the three signs of the same element. He calls these “Age-Decans”. For example, we’re currently living through the Libra Age-Decan of the Aquarian Age, one reason for the relative comfort of modern times and the rise of women. In 2149, the Gemini Age-Decan of the Age of Aquarius will begin, and then the Aquarian Age-Decan in 2865.

    If we divide MacKinnell’s Age of Aries into three, we get the Sagittarius Age-Decan (2862 - 2117 BC), the Leo Age-Decan (2117 - 1431 BC) and the Aries Age-Decan (1431 - 715 BC). Interestingly, they coincide rather well with the three kingdoms of ancient Egypt. The Old Kingdom (2700 - 2200 BC) coincides with the Sagittarius Age-Decan; the Middle Kingdom (2040 - 1782 BC) coincides with the Leo Age-Decan; and the New Kingdom (1570 - 1069 BC) coincides with the Aries Age-Decan. Ancient Egypt was exquisitely well connected to spiritual and magical undercurrents. It makes sense that such a civilisation would change form as the prevailing celestial influences shifted.

    When we consider the Age of Pisces, which MacKinnell dates from 715 BC to 1433 AD, we see something similar. His Piscean Age coincides remarkably well with the lifespan of the Roman civilisation.

    The Roman empire




    Rome was traditionally said to have been founded in 753 BC by Romulus, the son of the war god Mars and the Vestal virgin Rhea Silvia. This would have come at the very end of the Age of Aries, a time when, for MacKinnell, the influence of that sign, which is ruled by Mars, had reached its maximum.

    In 330 AD, almost exactly half way through the Age of Pisces, the Emperor Constantine established Constantinople as his new capital of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire became divided into Western and Eastern halves. Consider here the symbolism of Pisces: two fishes, linked by a cord.

    It’s notoriously difficult to settle on a single date for the fall of the Western Roman Empire, but the years 410, when Rome was sacked by the Visigoths, and 476, when the last Roman Emperor was deposed by the barbarian king Odoacer, are often cited. Either way, this places the fall at roughly half way through the Age of Pisces.

    The Eastern Roman Empire remained powerful for more than a millennium, eventually becoming known as the Byzantine Empire. It met its end with the fall of Constantinople on May the 25th, 1453, when the city was conquered by the forces of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II. As we’ll see later in The Hermetic Age, this geopolitical development would have massive spiritual consequences, and led, in a roundabout way, to the emergence of the modern world.

    Thus, the full span of the Roman Empire arguably takes us from 753 BC to 1453 AD, a period of 2,100 years, extremely close to the span of an astrological age. I consider this to be another piece of evidence that suggests MacKinnell’s astrological ages timeline is roughly correct. What’s more, Steiner linked this very period with “Greco-Latin” culture.

    The Abrahamic religions and the Age of Pisces
    MacKinnell’s timeline also tells an interesting spiritual story, for Rome had a critical role to play in the history of the Abrahamic faiths, especially that of Christianity. Christ’s disciples were fishermen, while Christ himself called himself a “fisher of men”. Early Christians identified themselves with the symbol of the fish. Still, the image of Pisces is two fishes joined by a thread. The Age of Pisces saw the emergence of what are today, by some distance, the two biggest religions in the world: Christianity and Islam, neither of which existed when the Age of Pisces began.

    Of course, Christianity and Islam are, along with Judaism, members of a triumvirate of Abrahamic religions. And when we divide the Age of Pisces into three periods allocated to each of the sign’s three decans, we see more confirmation of the power of MacKinnell’s timeline. Judaism was present in nascent form at the beginning of the Age of Pisces in 715 BC, the time of the Cancer Age-Decan. Christianity was born soon after the second decanic period of the Age of Pisces began, the Scorpio Age-Decan, around 0 AD. And the third, Islam, emerged a little before the beginning of the third decanic period, the Pisces Age-Decan, around 700 AD.

    Thus, as with the Age of Aries and Egypt, MacKinnell’s Piscean Age gives us a three-act story of the birth of the world’s three great monotheistic faiths. Rather than seeing emergent Christianity as marking the beginning of the Piscean Age, as many astrologers do, MacKinnell’s timeline acknowledges its status as a child of Judaism, and marks Islam as downstream of the first two Abrahamic faiths.

    But why should the Age of Pisces give birth to faiths such as these? Well, it seems to me that there’s something intrinsic to the sign of Pisces that relates to the Abrahamic religions. All of them are monotheistic, seeing God as alone and transcendent. None of them allow for reincarnation, at least in their exoteric forms.

    It’s Pisces’s status as the last of the twelve signs of the zodiac that is, perhaps, most telling here. The first sign, Aries, given to Mars, begins with the primal act of severance from our mother and entry into the world. Oceanic Pisces, on the other hand, is the sign of the return to the spiritual world. Pisces has one foot in the earthly realm and one in the next. It lives in expectation of the end of this life. Thus, it’s the sign of the mystic and his wayward cousin, the drunk, both of whom seek that return through the dissolution of the self. And it’s the sign of martyrs, those who sacrifice their lives for their faith. Both Christianity and Islam are religions that explicitly prize martyrdom and self-sacrifice.

    The reader might wonder: if this really is the Age of Aquarius and the Age of Pisces is long gone, then why do those same faiths remain so influential today? MacKinnell has an interesting answer. He believes that at the start of an astrological age, the spiritual influence of the governing sign is at its lowest. Over the course of the age, its influence streams into the world, building and building until it reaches a maximum at the end of the age.

    What’s more, a sign’s influence doesn’t abruptly end at the shift to the next age. Instead, it starts the next age with tremendous power and influence, which flows into the new age and gradually fades as the next sign takes over. MacKinnell calls this an “overflow”. It’s only around halfway through an age that the governing sign begins to dominate the previous one.

    With this in mind, MacKinnell gives each astrological age a double-barreled name. We live today in the Pisces-Aquarius Age, which captures the idea that Pisces is still the senior partner, and the influence of the Aquarian impulse is actually less pronounced, but growing. Many people, including Friedrich Nietzsche, have described modern left-liberalism as being fundamentally Christian in its assumptions—think of the concern for poor and outcastes of society—albeit generally stripped of the “God” part. This idea explains why.

    The Pisces overflow also explains why Steiner’s timeline of the astrological ages is one sign out from MacKinnell’s. Steiner names each age for the sign that’s most influential at its beginning. Thus, MacKinnell’s Age of Pisces-Aquarius is Steiner’s Age of Pisces, the age we continue to live in today. Perhaps, as a clairvoyant, Steiner named his ages for the influence he perceived to be strongest when each age began.

    MacKinnell believes Aquarius will only become the dominant influence halfway through the Age of Aquarius, in the year 2507 AD. Aquarian influence will be at its strongest at the dawn of the Age of Capricorn, in 3581 AD. Over the centuries, we might expect the Abrahamic faiths to gradually lose influence, eventually being superseded by new spiritual forces of an Aquarian nature.

    I hope you will agree that MacKinnell’s timeline of the ages compelling. What’s interesting, too, is the coincidence between his Age of Pisces, from 715 BC to 1433 AD, and Sri Yukteswar’s Kali Yuga, from 700 BC to 1700 AD. How can we reconcile these ideas?

    Well, the Kali Yuga is said to be the age of ignorance, a time when humanity is furthest from the divine and can perceive nothing but gross matter. What we saw, as the Kali Yuga took hold, was the systematic destruction of ancient wisdom. Often this was carried out by Christians who were bearing the impulse of the Piscean Age—and so, driven to expunge knowledge redolent of the fading Age of Aries. And we saw something else: the growing silence of the gods.

    We’ll consider this phenomenon in the next installment of The Hermetic Age."

    I've just chatted with the astrologer Dan Waites of World Astrology Report https://www.worldastrologyreport.com on his substack page.
    ..Whose article I featured in the post above (#2456) which correlates how astrology, spirituality, historical records, psychic predictions might converge to give us the clearest picture possible of where we are now and will be in the near future.
    I mentioned Ben Davidson's work to Dan in hopes he will write more about how current science figures into that list.
    Dan is familiar with Ben's work and I'm hoping that work will figure into his upcoming articles.
    I also added an update to the post here about the accomplishments of Sir Isaac Newton: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1687164
    Connecting more of the dots re my theory that Ben was Sir Isaac Newton in a past life.

    More scientific evidence of a cataclysm and a micronova 12,000 years ago.
    Exploring Megalithic Vilcashuaman In Peru

    "Explore Peru's Vilcashuaman megalithic site, showcasing Inca and pre-Inca structures. Stunning quadcopter footage."

    Transcript (A short excerpt--more proof of the micronova that occurred 12,000 years ago.)
    "The very fine work is the oldest.
    That's the megalithic work. And then after that, the Inca work, which is rebuilding of the wall.
    And we're also going to see cataclysmic damage at this site, which may very wellcorrespond with other locations on the planet of a series of events thathappened possibly 12,000 years ago.
    I know that's hard to believe, but that is the dating that a number of scientists are telling us that there were major cataclysmic events on the planet.
    So, as we look at the upper wall, you see it's very intact on the right and then in the center, the surface of the stone has fallen off and in fact in some areas like in the center now melted.
    Now, melting of this basalt stone requires at least 2,000 degrees Celsius,and that is twice as hot as a normal fire.
    So, it was not a localized fire.
    It could actually have been a burst of plasma from the sun as theorized by geologist Robert Shock and others. "
