The Chimera group has used the September 1st annular solar eclipse as a trigger to reopen a negative plasma portal through the Congo energy vortex. You can see that the path of totality for the eclipse goes through Congo: Exactly 67 minutes after...

The first of two eclipse seasons for the year is upon us this month, and kicks off with the only total solar eclipse for 2015 on Friday, March 20th.
And what a bizarre eclipse it is. Not only does this eclipse begin just 15 hours prior to the March equinox marking the beginning of astronomical spring in the northern hemisphere, but the shadow of totality also beats path through the high Arctic and ends over the North Pole.

Already, umbraphiles — those who chase eclipses — are converging on the two small tracts of terra firma where the umbra of the Moon makes landfall: the Faroe and Svalbard islands. All of Europe, the northern swath of the African continent, north-central Asia and the Middle East will see a partial solar eclipse, and the eclipse will be deeper percentage-wise the farther north you are .
2015 features four eclipses in all: two total lunars and two solars, with one total solar and one partial solar eclipse. Four is the minimum number of eclipses that can occur in a calendar year, and although North America misses out on the solar eclipse action this time ’round, most of the continent gets a front row seat to the two final total lunar eclipses of the ongoing tetrad on April 4th and September 28th.
How rare is a total solar eclipse on the vernal equinox? Well, the last total solar eclipse on the March equinox occurred back in 1662 on March 20th. There was also a hybrid eclipse — an eclipse which was annular along a portion of the track, and total along another — on March 20th, 1681. But you won’t have to wait that long for the next, as another eclipse falls on the northward equinox on March 20th, 2034.

The March 20th eclipse also occurs only a day after lunar perigee, which falls on March 19th at 19:39 UT. This is also one of the closer lunar perigees for 2015 at 357,583 kilometres distant, though the maximum duration of totality for this eclipse is only 2 minutes and 47 seconds just northeast of the Faroe Islands.

This eclipse is number 61 of 71 in solar saros series 120, which runs from 933 to 2754 AD. It’s also the second to last total in the series, with the final total solar eclipse for the saros cycle occurring one saros later on March 30th, 2033.
What would it look like to sit at the North Pole and watch a total solar eclipse on the first day of Spring? It would be a remarkable sight, as the disk of the Sun skims just above the horizon for the first time since the September 2014 equinox. Does this eclipse occur at sunrise or sunset as seen from the pole? It would be a rare spectacle indeed!

Solar activity is also another big variable. Witnesses to the October 23rd, 2014 partial solar eclipse over the U.S. southwest will recall that we had a massive and very photogenic sunspot turned Earthward at the time. The Sun has been remarkably calm as of late, though active sunspot region 2297 is developing nicely. It will have rotated to the solar limb come eclipse day, and we should have a good grasp on what solar activity during the eclipse will look like come early next week.
And speaking of which: could an auroral display be in the cards for those brief few minutes of totality? It’s not out of the question, assuming the Sun cooperates. Of course, the pearly white corona of the Sun still gives off a considerable amount of light during totality, equal to about half the brightness of a Full Moon. Still, witnessing two of nature’s grandest spectacles — a total solar eclipse and the aurora borealis — simultaneously would be an unforgettable sight, and to our knowledge, has never been documented!
We also put together some simulations of the eclipse as seen from Earth and space:
Note that an area of southern Spain may witness a transit of the International Space Station during the partial phase of the eclipse. This projection is tentative, as the orbit of the ISS evolves over time. Be sure to check CALSky for accurate predictions in the days leading up to the eclipse.

Excerpt from washingtonpost.com
By Blaine Friedlander Jr.
In winter’s waning weeks, Venus and Jupiter continue to accentuate the night heavens, we change our clocks forward and we grab spring with no intention of letting go.
Check the west-southwestern heavens at dusk to spy the vivacious Venus and the dim Mars. In late February, the two planets met for a sweet cosmic waltz, but in March, they appear to separate. Venus approaches negative fourth magnitude (very bright) while Mars makes do at magnitude 1.3 (dim, hard to find in urban light pollution). With a clear sky, Mars looks like a red pinpoint.
A young, waxing crescent moon visits Mars on the evening of March 21, and on the next evening the crescent flirts with Venus.
Robust Jupiter ascends the evening’s eastern sky. Find this gas giant at a -2.5 magnitude, very bright, in the constellation Cancer. The lion in the constellation Leo appears to stare at the planet. By the Ides of March, find it south around 10:30 p.m.
The waxing gibbous moon drops by the dazzling Jupiter on March 2, days before the moon itself becomes full on March 5.
Catch the ringed Saturn rising after midnight in the east-southeast now, hanging out near a gang of constellations, Scorpius, Ophiuchus and Libra. It’s a zero magnitude object, bright enough that it can be seen under urban skies. The waning moon loiters near Saturn before dawn on March 12. On that morning, the reddish star below them is Antares.
We adjust our clocks to Daylight Saving Time at 2 a.m. March 8. Spring forward, moving the clock ahead one hour.
Winter is almost over. Spring is weeks away. The vernal equinox brings spring’s official arrival on March 20 at 6:45 p.m.
Also on March 20 — the day a new moon — the North Atlantic and the Arctic waters get a short total eclipse. We won’t see it here, but Slooh.com will carry it live. Totality will start seconds after 5:44 a.m. and end at 5:47 a.m., according to Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory.

THE WATERS OF THE LOVING
HEART
ARTIST UNKNOWN...
GREETINGS UNTO YOU....
heart of my
heart....
your consciousness is
liken to the
ocean
vast.....unlimited....all
encompassing...
in truth...it is your
god given
divinity
with each choice for
love
you add to the ocean
of love
bringing forth waves
of
light
that land upon the
shores of
time...
you see dear one..
love waits on "your"
welcome...!!!!!!
you are the "movers"
of
love....!!!!!!
see yourself this day
as the
very bottle above
whose purpose is to
add to the
totality
of the ocean by
pouring your
thoughts of love
unimpeded.............just
allow
them to flow freely
through your divine
mind so that
their effects
can add to the ocean
of love
itself....
(the ocean of love a
symbol of
the one mind that all
swim
within)
you do this by
allowing your
thoughts of love
to "flow freely"
undisturbed by any
and all
circumstance....
thus...love
itself..life
itself
becomes your
responsibility as you
continue
to "pass the wine"
into all of
creation
by your non resistance
to loves
presence...
each loving thought
adds to the
momentum
of the flow of love
within and without all
of
creation...
see yourself as the
angels of
creation that you
truly are...
angels of love simply
expand loves
presence
by being of service to
the
unexplainable mystery
that abba...love is...
they simply "move with
the
wind"
not knowing where they
are
going
not having any agenda
other than being the
extension of
love
right where they find
themselves to
be..
this
day....precious..precious
one
allow your waters of
love to touch
and heal
all things
simply by your choice
to keep
your
waters within
a ~free flow~...
one thought of
judgment stops the
~ flow~...
one thought of
separation from
me
stops the
~ flow~...
yet every thought of
love..
every remembrance of
our
union
every choice to
embrace
all
allows the waters to
flow..touch and
lift
all of creation....
this momentum of loves
remembrance
will take on such a
"spin
"
that in the twinkling
of an
eye
all minds will wake up
and
remember
their union with me...
this is how important
retraining the
mind
is to the "whole of
creation"
would you choose to
"be that
one""
who willingly and
humbly takes
on
the responsibility of
"lifting the
whole"
by remembering your
loving
thoughts...???
the waters of grace
will fill
you
and you will ~know
once
again~
that love itself is
your ~ beloved~....
be at peace this day
and know you are
deeply
loved....
~the voice of love~
