As the equinox and solstice points slowly move in the opposite direction of the planets, one of these four points crosses the galactic equator every 6,424 years. Each time this happens a new World Age commences. The winter solstice point has now moved to the galactic equator so that on December 21 the Sun is aligned with the galactic equator. This will not happen again for 26,000 years! In a little over 6,000 years, however, the spring equinox will align with the galactic equator and another World Age will begin.

The Sun is one-half degree wide so it takes the winter solstice Sun 36 years to precess through the one-degree Galactic equator. The rim of the Sun first touched the equator in 1980 beginning the gradual transition from one World Age to the next. The precise alignment of the solstice point with the center of the Sun as viewed from Earth took place in 1998. The disk of the Sun will no longer touch the galactic center after 2016.

The transition to the New Age will then be complete.
Why could the winter solstice/galactic equator alignment be responsible for the records breaking Earth changes that have been going on since the early 1990s? There are flows of intense energy coming from several ?hot spots? near the galactic nucleus. Astrophysicists debate the meaning and effect of these immense outpourings of unusual energy. But one thing is certain: the Earth has experienced rapid extinction and evolution of species in the past.
