THE REAL "MEANING" OF THE COMET'S PATHWAY.........
COMET SCHWASSMANN-WACHMANN (73P) FLYBY

(**see Charts at above link )
On May 12-14, 2006 (the Second Passover) Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann (73P) will pass closer to the earth than any other comet has in almost 80 years. The comet broke into three fragments in 1995 and the closest fragment on the upcoming flyby will be about six million miles from the earth.
There are many rumors and government conspiracy theories going around about this comet and some are saying that one of the fragments will strike the earth on May 14. Seems like we get at least one good tabloid special every spring. One year it was Planet X, last year Mars was to be seen larger than the full moon from Earth, another year misinformation of another comet striking the earth, and another year a comet was to strike Mars. At some point in time such an object will most likely hit Earth, but it will not be by this comet at this time.
However, the path of this comet through the constellations between May 5 and May 25, 2006 is of some interest to say the least. None of the comet fragments are expected to brighten to more than a third or fourth magnitude, which for a comet is visible to the naked eye under pristine conditions in very dark skies to the experienced observer. However, there is a possibility that the comet could flare up to a brighter magnitude. We will see if this happens.
Chart 413 shows the path of Comet Schwassman-Wachmann from May 5 to May 25, 2006. The comet is in the constellation Hercules on May 5 and in the position of the first red dot. (Each red dot following are in increments of one day. The last dot is in Pisces and is where the comet will be on May 25). Hercules represents Messiah, the mighty vanquisher or conqueror. See Michele Abraham’s drawing of Hercules and more info on this constellation on the last pages of this newsletter. The meteor shower associated with Comet 73P is the Herculid shower.

From Hercules, the comet passes through the constellation Lyra the harp, which represents praise prepared for the conqueror.
After Lyra, the comet passes through the constellation Cygnus the swan, which represents The Blesser surely returning, and returning swiftly.
After Cygnus, the comet passes through Pegasus the winged horse, which represents the blessings quickly coming. It also passes by the star Markab in Pegasus which means returning from afar.
After Pegasus, the comet passes through the constellation Pisces, which represents the nation of Israel – the redeemed who are to be delivered from their enemy and blessed.
Taking the meaning of the constellations in the order that the comet passes through them we have this:
"THE MIGHTY CONQUEROR GOING FORTH. PRAISE PREPARED FOR THE CONQUEROR WHO IS SURELY RETURNING AND RETURNING SWIFTLY FROM AFAR TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE, AND TO BLESS THEM."
