After the seismic shifts that have played out over the last trecena, there’s a song that may be running through the heads of millions as this Manik’ trecena opens: “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life . . . . and I’m feeling’ good”.

In the US, it has taken fourteen Tzolk’in cycles (14 x 260 days) to get here. Another way of looking at that would be 13 cycles of 260 days (the Maya “magic” numbers) plus one final big 260-day “ousting” push. That’s how long it has been since late November of 2016, when people were frantically attempting to sort out how to move forward after the “shocking” U.S. election that brought that unfathomable change in power that ushered in an era of such relentless cruelty and corruption that most people found it hard to keep pace. But as the horror played out over the years, as the ship of state sunk further and further into the quagmire, more and more people joined forces to work together to take back the helm. Indeed, that sense of recalibration really began to be felt two cycles ago, in June of 2025, when millions of Americans said “No! We are not having it – No Kings in America!”, and by the time this trecena returned earlier this year that strengthening of resolve to “right the ship” was palpable everywhere. During this past cycle people have been banding together to look after each other, drawing lines in the sand, and pushing back in a multitude of ways. And now – finally, through the midterm elections – the people have spoken! An overwhelming Blue Tsunami has swept through that country, a wave so big that even Florida governor DeSantis called it “close to an extinction-level event for Republicans”, and people are now poised to begin the cleanup.

Indeed, during this trecena a great deal of attention will be given to setting the foundations for “getting down to business” in early January, when new congressional terms will begin. And during this trecena many people will begin to “breathe again” as they celebrate their enormous victories. As Judge Michael J. Luttig put it, American people are again “demanding moral and character leadership and accountability” from their elected representatives, and are now in the process of stamping out those who do not deliver on that. The world has shifted – it is a new day!

The period begins with One Manik’, which is represented in many Mesoamerican cultures as a deer, thought to be an embodiment of the sun on Earth. The Maya represented this energy, in hieroglyphic form, as a hand holding the sun, symbolizing the idea of the warmth and nourishment of the sun being brought to Earth, an energy that helps to “shape” things of the earth. And this is a trecena that has been a “shaper” of new directions in many different ways, often demanding “accountability” in a variety of ways as Manik’ is a force that tends to champion Earth-oriented harmony, often through a process of Sacrifice-and-Reconcilation.

Think of it in the traditional indigenous sense of deer and hunter working together for a life-enhancing purpose, with the deer sacrificing itself to provide sustenance for the hunter, on condition that its sacrifice is thoughtfully, respectfully, and meaningfully put towards a greater good, such as feeding and protecting others. Negotiation and compromise are often highlighted at this time as people work towards some sense of “course correction” regarding ideologies or courses of action.

The Aztec saw this period as being under the auspices of a deity known as Tlazolteotl. Known as the “Eater of Filth”, she was a goddess of purification and curing who was oriented around the idea of erasing transgressions. She was also a kind of warrior goddess and midwife who is sometimes depicted with a shield and arrows or axe, sometimes shown seizing captured enemies by the hair, as seen in the trecena image.

As much as it might be tempting to seize the “problematic forces” by the hair and throw them into dungeons, it might be more effective to continue working directly with the forces of light – and there will be many life-affirming opportunities for that, as this trecena begins with Diwali, the wonderful Hindu festival of light, that spans several days. During this period, COP31, the UN’s Climate Change Conference of the Parties, opens in Antalya, Türkiye, and will include a World Leaders’ Summit. Remembrance Day and World Kindness day will also take place during this period, and Pope Leo will be spreading love and light as he embarks on his 12-day apostolic journey to South America.

Indeed, past events have demonstrated how reconciliation-related forces can play out in action during this period, as seen in 2019 when this trecena began with the first ever UN High-Level Meeting (UN HLM) on Universal Health Coverage – a landmark summit where world leaders made an “historic commitment” to improve global health through the most “comprehensive international health agreement in history”. Early in 2021 this trecena saw both US houses of Congress pass the Covid Relief Bill, which was a turning point in the fight against covid. Later that same year, when this trecena returned for a second time, the historic, bipartisan, $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed by President Joe Biden, just three days before the director of the United Nations’ World Food Programme laid out a plan to spend $6.6 billion to combat world hunger.

Six cycles ago, in 2022, there was a tremendous amount of high level negotiation, both locally and internationally, that was significantly productive. It was during this period that Congress in the US actually worked together to pass the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act, a $740bn climate, healthcare, and tax legislation package that was the product of 18 months of intense wrangling. At that same time President Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act to boost investment in domestic high-tech research and manufacturing, as well as the PACT Act to expand and streamline health care for around 3.5 million post-9/11 combat veterans who were exposed to toxins while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It demonstrated to everyone what was possible when people put differences aside and actually worked jointly towards common goals.

In 1962 it was the Cuban missile crisis that had to be negotiated, with the final day of this trecena bringing the highest level of warning regarding the nuclear threat from the Soviets, as Soviet submarines in the mid-Atlantic were making their way to Cuba. That was a “game-changing” moment for President John F. Kennedy as this crisis was averted. Other dissolutions that have taken place during this time frame include the dismantling of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Note as well that in 1787 this was the trecena in place when the phrase “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” was being drafted and added to the US Constitution, becoming Article II, which provides that “the President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Something to keep in mind!

As this transitional, post-election period gets underway, Tlazolteotl, the patron of this trecena, will be donning her armour (her PPE), picking up her axe, and working hard to “clear away filth”. Without doubt, there will be millions of Americans, and millions in many other countries, working together to help her to do just that. Here are the energies that will come into play:

1 Manik’ (Nov. 5th) – aka “One Deer”, the “initiation of reciprocity” (sometimes manifesting as “sacrifice and reconciliation”), symbolized by the Moon Goddess (the Number One) working with the Deer/Stag, the “carrier” of the sun on Earth, as results from the US Midterm elections continue to be tallied and reported, after record-breaking early voting and that extraordinary turnout at the polls, and the newly-elected begin preparations for taking over their new positions. This is the peak of the Southern Taurids Meteor Shower, overnight to the next day.

In India this is the celebrational day of Govatsa Dwadashi (aka Bachh Baras), a festival dedicated to offering gratitude to calves and cows for their help in sustaining human life, at the beginning of the Diwali festival season. In Hindu mythology cows are regarded not only as manifestations of the divine, but as symbols of fertility and abundance. On this day they will be adorned with flower garlands and given special attention. This is a day often associated with fasting, the cleansing of sins, and the payment of debts.

This is also

• Puno Day in Peru, in celebration of the legendary birth of Manco Cápac who was, according to some historians, the first governor and founder of the Inca civilization in Cusco – part of Puno Week celebrations in Peru.
• Guy Fawkes day (and Bonfire Night) in the UK, in remembrance of the “Gunpowder Plot” of 1605 when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Palace of Westminster during England’s state opening of Parliament.
• UNESCO’s International Day Against Violence and Bullying at School including Cyberbullying
• The UN’s 10th World Tsunami Awareness Day, part of a campaign to invest in resilient infrastructures, early warning systems, and education to help alleviate tsunami risks. The theme for this special day this year is: “Be Tsunami Ready: Invest in Tsunami Preparedness”.

 

2 Lamat (Nov. 6th) – a “dynamic heralding” (or leadership) type of energy, generally referred to as “Star” by the Maya. As Two Lamat was seen as the birth energy of an Aztec deity known as Ometochtli (Two Rabbit), associated with pulque, the fermented sap of the maguey plant, this day was seen as having a connection with intoxication.

This is the first of five days of Diwali, the highly popular Hindu festival of light that celebrates the victory of “light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance”. On this first day of Diwali, known as Dhanteras, the goddess Lakshmi is the focus of much attention. As a goddess of prosperity, good fortune, wisdom, light, and spiritual rejuvenation, Lakshmi is one of the principal deities to preside over this “Day of Fortune”, seen as a good day to purchase gold and other metals. Lord Dhanwantari, a Hindu deity associated with Ayurvedic medicine, is also honoured at this time.

This is coinciding with the UN’s International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict.

On this day Pope Leo begins his 12-day apostolic journey to South America, where he will visit ten cities across Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. Six cycles ago Pope Francis had just completed his historic visit to Canada, during which he met with indigenous groups and issued a long-awaited apology with regard to the horrendous abuses at church-run residential schools.

This is Elvis Aaron Presley’s Maya birth energy, and the Maya birth energy of Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize and then – unfathomably – turned it over to the orange felon in the White House.

3 Muluk (Nov. 7th) – the “activation of water”, often a powerful “shape-shifting” type of force, as was in place at the time of the first inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th US president, in 2009.

Two years after that, this was in place when an enormous 9.0 earthquake struck Japan off the coast of Sendai, NE of Tokyo, triggering a devastating tsunami. It was also in place in 1962 when the U.S. obtained photographic evidence of Soviet missile installations in Western Cuba, which triggered the Cuban missile crisis two days later. In 1997 this energy was in place at the time of the tragic death of Princess Diana.

Currently this is the second day of Diwali, known as Naraka Chaturdasi (Day of Knowledge), aka Kali Chaudas, associated with the triumph of good over evil. In India beautiful rangolis made of materials such as coloured rice, sand, or flower petals are made at this time. In Nepal this is the start of the 5-day Tihar Festival of Lights (similar to Diwali), with this first day involving the honouring of crows. It is also National Hug-a-Bear Day, a good time to give a bear hug to all those who may need extra comfort at this time.

This is the Maya birth energy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who put forth passionate calls for freedom, justice, and equality during the 1960’s. It is also the Maya birth energy of both Sir Mick Jagger and Prince Louis, Diana’s grandson, who was born precisely 29 Tzolk’in cycles after the death of Princess Diana. For Harry Potter fans, this would be Harry’s Maya birth energy.

This is marking the 54th Gregorian anniversary of the day when then 29-year old Joe Biden first defeated an older, more established, candidate in Delaware, to win the race for the U.S. Senate. That was the day when Richard Nixon was re-elected as president. (However, his wrongdoings caught up with him shortly thereafter and he had to resign less than 2 years later.)

4 Ok (Nov. 8th) – a “defining” Burner Day representative of fire (or heart-fire), an energy that can often stir the emotions as this is a “double-fire” type of force (the sun plus fire working together), seen as an energy that “runs with the fire”.

This is the third (and most significant) of the five days of Diwali, a time when festival lanterns and lights are set out everywhere to welcome Lakshmi, India’s goddess of happiness, wealth, and good fortune, into homes and other buildings. Lord Ganesha is also honoured at this time.

This is the second day of the Tihar Festival of Lights in Nepal, known as the Kukur Puja, the “Day of the Dogs”, when dogs are decked out with garlands, given special treats, and thanked for their faithful service, including their service in helping to provide a safe passage for departed souls on their journey to Heaven. This is a good day to celebrate your own Kukur Tihar with any four legged friend who specializes in bringing joy to the world.

In Canada this is Indigenous Veterans’ Day, honouring First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans of military service, at the beginning of several days of remembrance relating to various wars. In the UK this is Remembrance Sunday when members of the Royal Family, political leaders, and current and ex-members of the Armed Forces join World War veterans at the Cenotaph memorial for wreath-laying and a ceremony of remembrance.

In the US, this is the start of the 31st Red Nation International Film Festival (RNIFF), which runs from Nov. 8-14th.

This is now marking five cycles since UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned that “humanity is just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation.” Not a good thought, but now might be a good time to remember and give thanks to those who keep watch over such things and make survival possible.

5 Chuwen (Nov. 9th) – a “precision” oriented energy in combination with play or even mischief (symbolized by a monkey), coinciding at this time with the fourth day of Diwali, dedicated to Lord Krishna. This is also a day in the Diwali tradition to express appreciation and respect towards Mother Nature.

Five Chuwen can be seen as a “timeweaver” type of energy that can bring about change through innovation, as was in place when the historic, bipartisan, $1 trillion infrastructure bill was signed in the US. eight cycles ago, in 2021. Then, six cycles ago, the US Senate voted to pass the long-sought bipartisan PACT Act bill to expand health care benefits for millions of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits during their military service, sending the bill to President Joe Biden to sign into law. All of that took place, of course, long before the heartless “Doge and the dumpster act” took over the US government, and began setting fire to government programs and systems, including health care programs.

Currently this is World Adoption Day, and the opening of COP31, the UN’s Climate Change Conference of the Parties, in Antalya, Türkiye, with world leaders and scientists from more than 190 countries in attendance. COP 31 runs until Nov. 20th.

6 Eb’ (Nov. 10th) – generally a “stabilizing” type of energy aligned with “restorative vitality”, coinciding at this time with the fifth and final day of Diwali.

This is the opening day for the 2-day Paris Peace Forum at the historic Palais de Chaillot in Paris, with this year’s theme being: “From Sovereignty to Cooperation”.

It is also UNESCO’s World Science day for Peace and Development, which highlights the work of scientists and their relevance to daily life on this planet, with climate change still of particular concern. This year’s theme is “Common ground through science diplomacy”.

7 B’en (Nov. 11th) – aka 11:11, a “self generating personal authority” type of energy, coinciding at this time with the start of the World Leaders’ Summit in Antalya, Türkiye, as part of the COP31 summit.

In 1974 this was the energy in place when seven of Richard Nixon’s top aides were arraigned in court with regard to the Watergate scandal. This energy was also in place when Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Army General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in early April of 1865, signalling the “beginning of the end” of that war.

Currently this is:

• The final day of Nepal’s Tihar Festival of Lights (similar to Diwali), culminating in a celebration of animals and the Goddess of Wealth
• Singles’ Day (or Double 11) in China, a celebration for singles, generally celebrated through games, entertainment, and ecommerce shopping – now seen as the world’s biggest shopping celebration, the “most lucrative online shopping day in the world”.
• Remembrance Day (the 108th after WWI) in Canada and the Commonwealth, and several other countries, and Veterans’ Day in the U.S. The No Stone Left Alone Memorial project is one highly meaningful avenue for helping young people to appreciate the significance of this day.

In parts of Germany and in several other European countries this day is celebrated as St. Martin’s Day (Martinmas, aka Old Hallowe’en), traditionally a harvest feast day to commemorate the end of the agrarian year.

8 Ix (Nov. 12th) “Resurrecting Jaguar” – often aligned with the idea of a “rebirth” or “regeneration” of earth-related magic and transformation, this is Santo Mundo, a special Maya day devoted to the Celebration of the Earth and its sacred mysteries, at the peak of the North Taurids Meteor Shower.

This marks eight cycles since one of the first lawsuits was filed against the dumpster after the insurrection attempt, the lawsuit filed by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and the NAACP.  That was the day (in early March of 2021) when the US House of Representatives passed the HR-1 “For the People Act”, a major voting rights and campaign finance reform package that was later blocked by the Senate. Five cycles ago Magistrate Bruce Reinhart issued a warrant affidavit to search Mar-a-Lago for classified documents that had been taken illegally from the White House. The search took place three days later, yielding boxes filled with hundreds of documents. That became the basis of the Classified Documents Case – a case that was later dismissed by a dumpster-appointed Florida judge. The last time this energy was in place the thug-run FBI was in the process of firing a number of people who had worked on the special counsel’s investigation with regard to that case. There was also a great deal of discussion relating to the Epstein files coverup at that time – something that will soon be revisited once the Democrats take control of Congress and resume their investigations.

This is U.S. astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s Maya birth energy. Now age 96, he is the last surviving crew member of the Apollo 11 Lunar mission, and one of the first two people to walk on the Moon.

9 Men (Nov. 13th) – the “outward projection” of vision (as in the high-flying vision of the Eagle), coinciding at this time with World Kindness Day, which highlights the power of kindness. This special day is a good prelude to Anti-Bullying Week that begins on Nov. 16th.

This energy sometimes manifests as a “warrior” type of energy, as was in place in 1997 at the time of the funeral of Princess Diana, which was watched by millions. In 1865 it was in place at the time of President Abraham Lincoln’s last speech, the day he had a premonition regarding his assassination, at which time he expressed his support for black suffrage. In the audience was the Confederate activist who shot him in Ford’s theatre three days later.

This is now marking the completion of eleven long, catastrophe-ridden cycles since David Laufman, the former Chief of the DOJ’s Counterintelligence and Export Control section, warned that the dumpster was a “clear and present danger” to the national security of the US.

Way back in 1960, Science journal, a leading science journal, published an article titled Doomsday: Friday, 13 November, A.D. 2026, in which it was predicted that today’s date would be the day when Earth’s human population would “approach infinity and effectively annihilate itself”. The argument, grounded in considerable research, was that there would be so many humans on Earth that they would be “squeezed to death.” Although that predication did not pan out, it is certainly apparent that Planet Earth’s large population is placing a great deal of pressure on the infrastructure – the environment, and its ability to support and sustain life. Considerable “high vision” is now being called upon to deal with the related challenges.

10 Kib’ (Nov. 14th) – a “foundational, restoration-of-order” type of energy, that can fluctuate between the setting up of important foundations for a “restoration of order” (as in the setting up of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in 1968) to the kind of massive “clean up” that was required in China in 2008 after the Szechuan earthquake.

This is World Diabetes Day , with this year’s theme being “Early Action on Diabetes”, focusing on early diagnosis, risk reduction, and access to care.

It is also Children’s Day in India, a special day for increasing awareness of the rights, care, and education of children.

In addition, this is the opening day for the Winter Festival of Lights in Niagara, called the “Longest Festival in the World”, which runs through to Jan. 10th , involving over 3 million lights.

It has now been four hair-raising cycles since a US Court of Appeals expressed deep skepticism about the dumpster’s claim of immunity, an offshoot of Judge Chutkan’s refusal to dismiss the Jan. 6th case based on so-called “presidential immunity”. The skepticism of the Court of Appeals led to the claim being taken up by the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, it was that court that, a few months later, ruled that a U.S. president has considerable “immunity” with regard to official acts. In 1787 this was the energy in place when the phrase “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” was added to the draft US Constitution, becoming Article II.

It has been two cycles since the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly backed a resolution to demand an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. (on June 12, 2025).

This is the Maya birth energy of long-time civil rights activist Andrew Young, who turns 95 on March 12th. He helped draft the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

11 Kab’an (Nov. 15th) – the energy of “change” combined with the force of evolutionary movement, coinciding with the peak closeness of a rare four-planet parade, involving Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. Something similar happened the last time this energy was in place, last February. This is coinciding with the start of Métis Week in Canada (Nov. 15-22), with the following day being of particular significance.  This is also King Charles’s 78h birthday, and the 70th anniversary of the opening of Elvis Presley’s first movie in 1956.

It has now been eight cycles exactly since the US Senate passed the $1.9tn coronavirus relief bill, clearing the way for it to be signed into law shortly thereafter.

Six cycles ago (in August of 2022) this was the energy in place when 30 FBI agents carried out an intensive, court-authorized search of Mar-a-lago, when dozens of boxes of documents (including some classified as top secret) were found. Five cycles ago this was in place at the start of writer E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against the dumpster. Two cycles ago, echoing that earlier event, a federal appeals court rejected his bid to overturn the $5m decision against him with regard to that sexual abuse and defamation suit that he lost to her in 2023. Recently he has been trying to appeal the results of the earlier case in which he was found guilty for sexually abusing her and harming her reputation, in which she was awarded over $83 million. This is now at the supreme court level, where her legal team has underscored the fact that every court that has heard this case has ruled in her favour.

The last time this was in place Israel and the US launched strikes against Iran, which included the bombing of an elementary school where 178 people were killed, primarily children. Tehran’s then launched retaliation strikes, firing drones and ballistic at Israel. Explosions also rocked Dubai (where a luxury hotel was struck), Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Kuwait as war spread across the Middle East.

This also marks three cycles since Special Prosecutor Jack Smith filed a 180-page motion, in Sept. of 2024, in the Washington DC federal court election interference case, which included both legal arguments and evidence relating to the dumpster’s efforts to throw out election results. On that same day Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the State of Palestine, addressed world leaders at the UN General Assembly, where he gave a speech in which he accused Israel of perpetrating a “full-scale war of genocide”. When he insisted that “we will not leave; Palestine is our homeland,” and “if anyone were to leave it would be the occupier”, he received a long round of applause.

12 Etz’nab’ (Nov. 16th) – a robust “knife-edge” type of force that can bring forth powerful separation (or “sacrifice-related”) events, as was in place three cycles ago when Netanyahu spoke at the UN general assembly, as thousands of anti-Israeli protesters rallied on the streets of midtown Manhattan, at the same time as ICC judges were close to approving a warrant that could accuse him of war crimes, and Israel was bombarding the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut.

Currently this is the start of Anti-Bullying Week 2026, under the theme of “Break the Silence”, which runs through to Nov. 20th. This kicks off with Odd Socks Day (on this day), with adults and children being encouraged to wear odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique. This is also UNESCO’s International Day for Tolerance.

In addition this is:

• Louis Riel Day in Canada, officially designated in 2019, to commemorate the life, leadership, and contributions of Riel as he fought for the rights of Métis people in Canada. This day is in recognition of his wrongful execution in 1885.  Events relating to Riel’s legacy are held across the Métis homeland on this day. Note that a second Louis Riel Day is recognized in Canada on Feb. 15th, in recognition of his contributions to the founding of the province of Manitoba.
• the 36th Gregorian anniversary of the signing into law, by President Bush, of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
• Guinness World Record Day
• the 25th anniversary of the worldwide release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone movie in 2001, the first of the eight Harry Potter movies that have been thus far released.

 

Five cycles ago this was in place when E. Jean Carroll gave a searing account in court about having been sexually assaulted by the dumpster. Thirteen days later he was convicted of sexual abuse and defamation. Deemed to be liable on 9 charges, that was when he was required to pay Ms. Carroll $5 million in damages. Four cycles ago this energy was in place when closing arguments were presented in the Trump civil fraud trial in New York, which he also lost, at which time he was ordered to pay a fine of more than $400 million. The final word on E. Jean Carroll’s second case against him, relating to the earlier $83 million ruling against him, is now awaiting a supreme court verdict.

Note, as well, that this highly consequential (and often “shock-oriented”) 12 Etz’nab’ energy was the energy in place at the time of the Ford’s Theatre shooting of President Abraham Lincoln in April of 1865.

13 Kawak (Nov. 17th) – “transformational storm”, a highly intense, and often storm related, force, as was in place at the time of the 9.2 earthquake in Alaska in 1964, and at the time of the dreadful floods and landslides in Nepal in 2024. It was also in place in April of 1865 at the time of the death of President Abraham Lincoln, following his assassination shooting the evening before.

This energy is marking six cycles since Trump appeared for a 4-hour deposition at the New York attorney general’s office in 2022, relating to the fraud case, but declined (some 450 times) to answer questions because his answers could be used against him in criminal investigations. He invoked the Fifth Amendment, which protects people from being compelled to be a witness against themselves in criminal cases. However, invoking the Fifth did not help him, and four cycles ago (in January of 2024) he was fined again, that time being ordered to pay $400,000 in a case relating to the New York Times.

The last time this was in place (this past March) the war in the Middle East expanded dramatically – with casualties and destruction reported across at least a dozen countries, as Israel aimed its war machine towards Lebanon. At that time oil prices soared and stock markets came under pressure after intense US-Israeli strikes on Iran prompted fears of significant global economic disruption and Iran halted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. That was when Israel closed all crossings into Gaza, threatening to plunge 2 million people into yet another hunger crisis.

Currently this is peak viewing time for the Leonid Meteor Shower, which is also accompanying the final day of Pope Leo’s South America visit.
