Īccording to Argüelles, the event came at the end of these "hell" cycles and the beginning of a new age of universal peace. The convergence is purported to have "corresponded with a great shift in the earth’s energy from warlike to peaceful." īelievers of this esoteric prophecy maintain that the Harmonic Convergence ushered in a five-year period of Earth's "cleansing", where many of the planet's "false structures of separation" would collapse. There is no evidence that astronomers have ever considered it significant. Hence, many traditional astrologers do not regard this occurrence to be of significant importance. Traditional astrology does not consider trines to be action points, so the notion of a special shift in world history would not be in the offing under a grand trine. Grand trines, where planets are at 120 degree positions forming an equilateral triangle are not uncommon or particularly noteworthy. Uranus, and especially Saturn are on the edge of this trine.Ĭontroversy is associated to the claim that this occurrence was a unique event. However some believe that this is an Earth grand trine with Sun/Moon/Mars/Venus/Mercury in the initial degrees of Virgo, Neptune at 5 degrees of Capricorn, and Jupiter in the last degree of Aries ( anaretic degree), on the cusp of Taurus. Jupiter was in Aries, and Saturn and Uranus in Sagittarius completing the grand trine. Mercury was in the fourth degree of Virgo which most astrologers count as part of the same conjunction being within the "orb" of influence.

The Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus were in exact alignment, astrologically called a conjunction at the first degree of Virgo in Tropical Astrology. The Sun, Moon and six out of eight planets formed part of the grand trine, that is, they were aligned at the apexes of an equilateral triangle when viewed from the Earth. Eight planets were aligned in an unusual configuration called a grand trine. The next predicted Harmonic convergence (aligning of planets) was to occur on March 3, 2019.Īccording to the astrologer Neil Michelsen's "The American Ephemeris," on 24 August 1987 there was an exceptional alignment of planets in the Solar System. The chosen dates have the distinction of allegedly marking a planetary alignment with the Sun, Moon and six out of eight planets being "part of the grand trine." Though Arguelles eventually connected the timing of the Harmonic Convergence with his understanding of the significance of Maya calendrics, the dates themselves were derived not from Maya cosmology but from Tony Shearer's reconstructed Aztec prophecies.

The timing of the Harmonic Convergence was allegedly significant in the Maya calendar, with some consideration also given to European and Asian astrological traditions. Shearer introduced the dates and the prophecy to Arguelles in 1970, and he eventually co-opted them and created the name Harmonic Convergence as the public title of the event. The 9 hell cycles of 52 years each ended precisely on August 16–17, 1987. The very beginning of the nine " hell" cycles was precisely the day that Hernán Cortés landed in Mexico, Ap(coinciding with "1 Reed" on the Aztec/Mayan calendar, the day sacred to Mesoamerican cultural hero Quetzalcoatl). The twenty-two cycles were divided into thirteen " heaven" cycles, which began in AD 843 and ended in 1519, when the nine " hell" cycles began, ending 468 years later in 1987. Īccording to Shearer's interpretation of Aztec cosmology, the selected date marked the end of twenty-two cycles of 52 years each, or 1,144 years in all. This event also closely coincided with an exceptional alignment of planets in the Solar System.Īlthough the event had been predicted by author Tony Shearer in his book Lord of the Dawn (1971), the principal organizers of the Harmonic Convergence event were spouses José Argüelles and Lloydine Burris Argüelles via the Planet Art Network (PAN), a peace movement they founded in 1983. The Harmonic Convergence is the name given to the world's first synchronized global peace meditation, which occurred on August 16–17, 1987.
