   I am hoping for a new age to begin at the new/dark moon   
   in a little more than 2.5 days time.   
      
   I think new/dark moon is what Taliesin (Gwion Bach) referred   
   to as the crack of the cauldron, and what Mohammed referred   
   to as the splitting of the moon (the splitting between waning   
   crescent and waxing crescent).   
      
   However it could be that I will have to wait until the following   
   new/dark moon, Chinese New Year, which will be on February 17,   
   which is a significant birthday in my family. And wait, Ramadan   
   also starts on the evening of February 17. But I don’t   
   expect a correlation with an existing religious holiday.   
      
   Also January 29 will be the 30th anniversary of the start   
   of my low/working years, though I did’t begin my workings in   
   earnest until June 1996 waxing gibbous moon, about   
   29.55 years ago. With either number I have exceeded   
   29 years (the common 7 plus two sunspot cycles),   
   I think since the current sunspot cycle is lasting longer   
   than usual. (Mohammed had 14, Jesus’s 3 plus one   
   sunspot cycle, and Taliesin had 7). I really hope that   
   i don’t have to go to 36 years.
