Another key factor - perhaps the overriding factor - is that the 2005 Christmas window did not coincide with an Orange Alignment which is a celestial configuration considered to be a key time-marker in the 'Judgment' scheme.
All three zero/balanced points in the 2005 Equation of Time had produced major 'Sun-king Judgment' events and were highlighted by an Orange Alignment forming in the solar system - except the fourth and final one around Christmas. (The last OA in 2005 was around November 17-18.) This is an important deviation.
The next Orange Alignment will come on January 31-February 1, which happens to be the anniversary of the first hospitalization of John Paul II last year which was also closely marked by an OA, though not as closely as the date will be this year. There is a definite sense of 'intelligent design' here - indeed we have only scratched the surface - and Chicago's Damage Plan code when deciphered further underscores the point.
The next Orange Alignment coming up will even have the Sun in between Venus and Mercury, which is now considered a particularly powerful configuration, so I'm already looking deeply into this aspect of the overall time code (which extends beyond Feb. 1/Imbolc).
In fact, its significance has already been expressed through Sharon's stroke, because January 4th happened to be the exact midpoint between 2005 Damage Plan Day (Dec. 8) and February 1, '06. The timeline was 'balanced' on that date and as per the usual pattern it was a time of justice/judgment (symbolically speaking; no religious connotations intended).
Beast Day 6/6/6 was also an 'Orange Day' - a day marked by an 'Orange Alignment', or the lining up of the Sun, Mercury, and Venus (as seen from 'above' the solar system). It's the 'minute hand' of our Super Torch Ritual/Damage Plan 'clock'. If you see orange - watch out. Godfather knows it.
The most recent Orange Day was June 4th, 2007 - which was, again, the day of the first Paris incarceration and the 2012 Olympic logo!
The next 'Orange Alignment' will be around August 16-17, joined by Earth.
On August 16 heaven and earth collide... in the film 'Deep Impact' (1998).
It's also a Venus Transit echo, though no actual transit per se. It'll still the same configuration of an Earth-Venus-Sun alignment that we'll see around August 16-17.
The double impact - of an Orange Alignment and a VT-like alignment - is even STEREO-supported. Pretty powerful stuff. It's going to be something... Maybe the Pope should watch out.
