The Actual Astronomy of 2012

This is one of the more intelligent articles I've read on the astronomy of 2012.

The Actual Astronomy of 2012- and the Sacred Triple Rebirth of the Sun
>An Essay by Thomas Razzeto

Introduction:
"Since both the Maya calendar and their metaphorical stories are based on the underlying astronomy, it can be very helpful to learn about this astronomy and this is fun and fairly easy to do as long as we take it a little bit at a time. Even still, you may find yourself pondering this subject more deeply for quite awhile. For me personally, the more I dug into the actual astronomy of 2012, the more mind-blowing it all became. Perhaps you will have a similar experience.

During this introduction, I will give an overview of this essay and clarify some common misunderstandings. I intentionally have my title reflecting both the solid science of 2012 and also its metaphorical aspects in order to let people know that I am not going to “squeeze the wonder and awe out of the event” by “explaining it” with science.

While I address the metaphorical and mystical aspects of 2012 much further in another essay, here I am focused on the details of the actual mainstream astronomy. I include my own original research so this essay is therefore not a rehash of what you might have read elsewhere. I also utilize unique presentaion tools that I created that will help you easily understand the material."

Calvin Borel Wins the Kentucky Derby

In one of the biggest upsets in the race’s history, Calvin Borel rode Mine That Bird past the finish line first to be the 2009 Kentucky Derby winner.

Mine That Bird, trained by Bennie Woolley Jr. entered the race at 50 to 1 odds, and was fancied by no one to win the race. Instead, it was a resounding win, with Mine That Bird winning by nearly seven lengths, the biggest winning length since 1946. The payout of $103.20 to win(for $1) was the second-largest payout in Derby history, and the biggest since 1913.

Calvin Borel was born a day before an exact Saturn(in Pisces)-180-Uranus(in Virgo), and five days before a total solar eclipse(20 Scorpio). The current opposition between these same planets, is a mirror image of the 1966 aspect, with Saturn now in Virgo, and Uranus in Pisces.

What's amazing is that Calvin Borel's pre-natal lunar eclipse(5 Taurus 32), was just conjoined by the April 24 New Moon at 5 Taurus 04. And the competitive, red planet of sports, Mars- was aspecting the angles of this eclipse chart, as he rode to a spectacular victory in Sunday's contest.

The chart for Calvin Borel's post-natal eclipse(11/12/66), was triggered by a Uranus transit, as he shocked, upset, and surprised the field with a sudden burst through traffic along the rail. Fittingly- his nickname around the Churchill Downs track community is Calvin 'Bo-rail', because of his rail-hugging strategy that wins races.
