The 5th Ocean is on the Map

 

Big news about something big, a now recognized fifth ocean on our planet! For more than 100 years the thought has been bantered about and on June 8, just as the solar eclipse was in effect, the announcement was made that makes it official – we now have what is named the Southern Ocean. It named, not for the continent near it but by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current that flows from west to east. The other four already known are The Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic. As I’ve been saying, there’s lots of world news unfolding and Mercury in retrograde at the official time of announcement didn’t impair it. Yes, it’s always been there though not in educational books so was not taught about as it should have been. There’s so much more to know while the years Neptune (that rules the seas) is in its own sign Pisces.
