August 17th - Harmonic Convergence Date

Firstly, my birth year is 1981. The original date of Harmonic Convergence from the Mayan Calendar was August 17th, 1987.  I was about 6 years old during that time.  Regardless, August 17th is now a focal date for "world gathering" during which time it has been suggested that people come together at sacred sites, in celebration of the earth, and humanity, each year.

I'll cut/paste from one article, but there are many others online. This article was written in the year 2000, which was the Convergence's 13th anniversary date.


"The original vision of Harmonic Convergence was of a global awakening to unity and love through divine transformation. It was initiated in 1987 by the Mayan scholar, Jose Arguelles. Working with the cycles of the Mayan Calendar, he inspired many thousands around the world to gather at sacred sites on August 16-17 to meditate and hold the vision as part of an event called "Harmonic Convergence". According to his interpretation of Mayan cosmology, this time marked the end of the cycle of Nine Hells and the beginning of a new age of universal peace, as foretold in the Mayan Prophecies. For Jose it marked a moment when the Earth came into harmonic resonance with the galactic centre and was impregnated with transformational galactic energies. His original press release went out at a time when a major supernova appeared in the sky - the brightest supernova since 1604. In astrology supernovae represent a massive infusion of galactic light, and this one, when converted from equatorial to zodiacal coordinates, was in Aquarius - the sign of the New Age and of the awakening of group consciousness. In his press release, he wrote:

"Beginning at dawn everywhere on the Earth on Sunday, August 16, 1987, 144,000 humans are being called upon to create a complete field of trust by surrendering themselves to the planet and to the higher galactic intelligences which guide and monitor the planet. At that time and continuing through Monday, August 17, the higher galactic intelligences will be transmitting a collective planetary vision as well as messages of personal destiny to and through these people, the rainbow humans."

(I don't know why my font changed here)

"To support the original vision of Harmonic Convergence, Michael Irving has launched an initiative called 'World Action', which uses August 17 as the focal date for an annual 'World Gathering'. His suggestion is that we gather at sacred sites and places of natural beauty, make contact with other people who are concerned for the Earth and Humanity, network, celebrate, and link up with participants all around the world. The nearest Saturday or Sunday to August 17 can also be used for this."

YEAY, happy birthday to me and the rest of the world!  :p

The Dog Days of August

The Lion's Gate is also known as "The Dog Days of August".   It is said to be an activation portal, because of the energy generated by our Sun's alighnment with the the Star Sirius, this has been regarded throughout ancient times.

The following is an article I found which pertains to the positioning of the sun and it's alignment with the Sirius star systems, during July 23rd to August 24th.

There are many other articles.  If you (the reader) felt compelled enough - I'm sure you can do some googling on it yourself.

(1.) "The Lion's Gate is the most powerful stargate that activates Earth's energy field. It was known to the ancient Egyptians, and they celebrated their New Year on about the 26th of July. This celebration was marked in the skies by the "heliacal rising" of Sirius. This is the time when Sirius rises in conjunction with the early morning sun. It is visible as a bright star as the sun rises. It was an alignment of the sun and Sirius that was understood to be the herald for new life and abundance in Egypt..."

"This event is also concurrent with the movement of the Sun into the Fifth House of the Zodiac, Leo, the Solar sign of Creativity and Passion. This is why it is called the Lion's Gate. Leo, or the constellation of the Lion, guarded the entrance to the Sirius Stargate."
