Fall of Phaethon

Thunderbolt of Zeus will strike in December
3200 Phaethon is an Apollo asteroid with a diameter of about 5 km or 3 miles, notable for having an orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than any other named asteroid. It is thus named “Phaethon” from a figure in Greek mythology:
Phaethon, challenged by his playmates, sought assurance from his mother that his father was the sun god Helios. She gave him the requested assurance and told him to turn to his father for confirmation. He asked his father for some proof that would demonstrate his relationship with the sun. When the god promised to grant him whatever he wanted, he insisted on being allowed to drive the sun chariot for a day. Placed in charge of the chariot, he was unable to control the horses. The Earth was in danger of being burnt up and, to prevent this disaster, Zeus was forced to strike down the chariot with a thunderbolt and kill Phaethon in the process.
I’ve long compared Donald Trump‘s presidency to Phaethon driving the sun chariot. Back on March 18, 2017 I wrote:
…So, with or without Trump, it seems mankind will move rapidly toward colonizing the Red Planet in the coming years. Not exactly good news for Trump as he starts to look a bit more expendable in this context. Perhaps it all depends on how well he manages to keep himself under control. If too erratic and thus dangerous, we can imagine Zeus having no choice but to strike down Phaethon and his chariot.
The past few weeks have seen the media reporting on how dangerously erratic Trump has become:
3200 Phaethon is the parent body of the Geminids meteor shower of mid-December (peak Dec 13-14). This year Phaethon itself will make a rare close approach on December 16th, passing 0.06893 AU (10,312,000 km; 6,407,000 mi) from Earth.
This will be the closest this asteroid has been to Earth since December 16, 1974, and it will not come closer than this until December 14, 2093. Phaethon’s brightness will peak on December 13-15 immediately before the Earth flyby.
This serves to underscore our mid-December window already highlighted – see December impact & clues.
On December 13-14 Saturn will be precisely aligned with Earth’s (orbital) sosltitial axis linked to the Nov 30-Dec 1 window celestial configuration which gave us a big development in the Trump-Russia probe (Michael Flynn).
[Saturn just slightly off the solstice axis on ~Dec 1]
Also:
- Mid-Dec: Sun in Dark Horse Nebula (=> Sphinx/Mars)
- Dec 15: Star Wars: The Last Jedi release (=> Mars)
- Dec 15: Date of last scene in Stranger Things 2 (=> hellish “Upside Down” dimension)
.
Saturnalia (Dec 17-23) will bridge this window and the solstice widow around Dec 21 (see December to Remember) when things go “upside down” per tradition.
Though Phaethon will not hit Earth, we could easily see an impact “simulation” via some “deep impact” event here on Earth around the time of the asteroid flyby per “as above, so below”.
It’s certainly telling that Phaethon is the son of the Sun (Helios) in Greek mythology. “Samson” can mean “sun child” (or just “sun”) and it is the name of the incoming asteroid in the CBS TV series Salvation.
Salvation heavily involves “Project Atlas” thus resonating with our “Atlas” window around December 9th. In this way we have here another implied sequential jump from one window to another which is a pattern we’ve noticed before.
From this we are able to infer what happens around December 9th will have direct relevance to what will happen mid December, in the same way we figured the events around Nov. 24 and Nov. 30/Dec. 1 would have an echo effect around Dec. 9.
Something or someone posing great danger to the world is about to be struck down by Zeus. All indications are that Trump is a probable candidate. There are likely other “deep impact simulation” events in the offing as well. We should have a clearer idea after the ~Dec. 9 window. So… stay tuned.
