2011 forewarned = forearmed

Old sayings have a lot of truth in them and none better than the notion that if you can anticipate upcoming events, you are in a better position to prepare for and deal with them


On the verge of a new and meaningful year, with many people wondering about global weather, climate change, economic conditions, terrorism and of course the anticipation of what 2012 might mean, 2011 is a year to prepare for


A little bit of information gathering: firstly knowing that 2011 = a number 4 year - with implications of hard work, frugality and restraints.
Alison Baughman has written a more detailed account confirming expectations that ring true for me.

Next, the website of a psychic called Lyn Philips
where you can find audio recordings from 2004 that forecast several years ahead including 2011, 2012.
Some excerpts for 2011: 
a record amount of movement within the earth, earthquakes, volcanoes, disruption.
Mexico blown away by incredibly strong winds
Cloud of despair over Europe
Exciting worldwide news of something discovered in sky
Trade in oil disrupted -severe effect on stock market


Some excerpts for 2012
A collision, huge explosion in sky -affects water
London protests over money, housing, everything
People leave cities for simpler life
Fear widespread but unfounded
Brazil affected by huge mass falling from sky - many hurt
Spain great floods cause loss of crops
Global water supply reported as being in decline




These excerpts reinforce patterns already in progress regarding climate/weather, economy and lifestyle readjustments - with the added factor of elements from space impacting upon earth. High probability is likely to apply to these aspects of our future world. Forewarned is forearmed.

The Capricorn theme in 2011 affecting you, me, everyone


With the January 4 2011 solar eclipse in Capricorn being harshly affected by the sign's ruler, Saturn this is another indicator, confirmed by Pluto in Capricorn this year being at odds with both Jupiter and Uranus, Capricorn energy at its most controlling is set to be the dominant theme of the year.


In simple language:


Capricorn is the universal energy force related to strong management, guidance, parenthood (particularly fatherhood). Positively used, the energy gives people skills in managing businesses and other high achievements of public office where high standards are required. Such people effectively "parent" their community by being firm, fair fathers in their regulation and controls - as we expect actual fathers to handle their children.
We are all capable of showing Capricorn qualities, as we all have this energy operating strongly in at least a couple of aspects of our life ( shown in your personal astrology birth-chart looking at Capricorn and Saturn on the chart wheel)


It all goes wrong when the fathers and father figures (and each us us in our relevant area of life), fail to act out their role: they haven't worked it out i.e. they lack the critical stage of growth to do it automatically (remember even kids can be biological parents) - they want the power and control but fail to see the responsibilities that go with the territory. High responsibility ( meaning any aspect of life where you have the ability to impact considerably on the lives of others) means high accountability. 
This year with Saturn in the sign of Libra ( scales, balance, justice) accountability will come up repeatedly as a colleague of responsibility.
Libra is about the responsibilities of marriage, partnership or other agreed relationship dynamics ( counsellor-client) Saturn means many bonds will be broken in 2011 and through to late 2012 as it may all seem too hard, one person won't contribute, wants to be carried, backs out, withdraws, relationships break down and without the committed responsibility to fix things, will end. Some must end rightfully if the mature path isn't chosen.


But the Capricorn energy this year doesn't stop there: it's about right conduct, acting properly - so this could mean doing your share of the work, paying your bills, honouring agreements, treating others as you wish for yourself, managing your business effectively, looking after your children instead of a no-boundaries style and so on. Whatever area of life is hardest for you may be an indicator of your Capricorn weak spot needing to be matured


The management of nations, society, communities, particularly through government is a Capricorn structure therefore politics and political relationships will be big in the news with governments wanting to continue cutbacks.  Expect  vigorous if not violent, protests. Conservative ( possibly old-fashioned) and austere ( harsh, limiting) policies have already been installed in nations like the UK  due to economic imbalances. The world's relationship with money plus financial organizations need further  restructuring - money in all respects certainly continuing to be big on the agenda so expect more cutbacks both imposed and self imposed - restrained, restricted, controlled - these are Capricorn descriptions likely to feature highly in 2011.


With New Zealand facing a general election in 2011 this will not be an easy year at all politically with all the energetic forces tensed up: political relationships will face the same strain as private ones if trust, responsibilities and accountability are not adhered to. This could signify the end of the alliance Maori have with National - after all the let downs they have sucked up and swallowed in the past 2 years a- if National fails to act as a commited partner. 


I've already written about David Cunliffe ( see the David post) - though with little data to go on, he still looks to have the credibility in Capricornian style energy to be a leader for Labour. Remember those who've got the right ( Capricorn-Saturn) vibe will rise to the top this year and those who haven't will sink.


A situation, like the current environmental chaos hitting many parts of the world, arises as a natural balancing act. Nature has a way of  altering imbalances and we are part of the whole cyclic system  - not apart from and not above the natural world - the more you see the rightness of new regimes or changes, you will accept them, even if a bit reluctantly, understanding that everything in the whole universe is in constant and continual readjustment: that's the essence of life.


The Capricorn theme will also bring adversity, difficulty in particular areas relevant for each individual and locality or nation. By connection to the opposing energy Cancer - homes, families, mothers, women - these aspects of life are under particular stress, cutbacks, restriction, loss


Water related environmental issues are strongly indicated in the extended future. This includes, rain, floods, snow in vulnerable areas - best indicated by historical patterns -but also in areas not typically prone - meaning coastal zones. Low lying communities - at sea level must prepare for water surges.


Overall there are many challenging conditions we face in 2011 and beyond. This is a time to pull together in the face of larger forces.




Update Jan 13: in response to the massive flooding in eastern Australia, plus sri Lanka, Brazil, South Africa:  extract from January 8  2011 blog discussing Methane

Astrologers use information based on connections made by the planets, sun and moon in our known solar system and taking a look at any likely candidates to explain a sequence of events like this you would have to consider Jupiter -the planet resonating with the keywords "mass" or "large"  and Uranus - "sudden", "unusual" - and the fact that these two planets are currently moving side by side in outer space  - basically sharing their magnetic fields and reinforcing their stand-out qualities - and the zodiac sector they are moving through - is Pisces. The sign of water and fish.  Jupiter connects to flocks, swarms as examples of masses. Uranus is the sky energy -connecting to all thing in that domain -hence, birds - so together there is already a signature on one level of species en masse that inhabit the air and the sea. Fish and birds.

The brilliance of astrology is that it describes energy in such a multi-dimensional way - so every combination of energy like Jupiter and Uranus conjunct in Pisces can be expressed in collection of statements, describing how that energy expresses in different contexts.

For example: Jupiter keyword big + Uranus electricity or electromagnetic force + water = electrocution
as noted in these recent news events. Remembering that the bodies of mammals such as humans are primarily composed of water means a hi voltage charge is usually lethal - and the risk is higher throughout January 2011

Recently, globally we have seen the pisces keyword "water" mixed with "sudden"(uranus) and "big" (jupiter) affecting our global weather - ranging from rain to flood to snow - extra big, unusual and unprecedented also apply here to the water, running or frigid as ice and snow, that have affected our world to a great degree in geographically disparate places - such is the power of large planetary effects impacting on planet Earth.

Pisces has another keyword - "gas" which is a term for silent often odourless, often lethal chemicals which we encounter in our daily lives - oxygen being the one vital for survival, carbon dioxide the one we exhale, carbon monoxide the one emitted by your car engine. Another gas we hear about sometimes is methane  - you may be interested to know more about this natural gas, a naturally forming product from the earth, which has numerous uses, but one which has a nasty and dangerous side. Though not toxic in itself it is highly flammable and therefore explosive, plus it displaces oxygen and therefore results in death if the level of methane is high.

One current condition applying, due to the mix we have in place, is that high (Jupiter) levels of gas (Pisces) are creating an explosive or sudden shock events (Uranus)  just as high (Jupiter) levels of water/snow/ice (Pisces) have been creating sudden/unusual/disruptive/dangerous (Uranus) conditions while this pattern has strengthened during December 2010 into New Year 2011
So it is truly a season of mis-adventure with extra care needed around water/snow/ice, electricity, gases.

Considering the high gas level indicator and sudden shock or explosive events an interesting link is the gas methane as a possible cause of recent seemingly unrelated events: mass bird deaths, mass fish/sea creature deaths as well as the number of methane gas explosions - notably in coal mines where the gas is a high level hazard due to natural emission.

Julian Assange -happily subversive

Julian Assange is currently the global talking point and not just in the English speaking world. Twitter has been deluged with commentary in many languages, mainly from supporters, though, like many other key links in the chain, the US government has chosen to take a heavy handed approach to try and crush wikileaks in response to potentially damaging leaks of information.

At this stage the drama is truly a cyberwar with online systems pressured to withdraw support for wikileaks, whether financially or concerning information distribution. In response, hacktivists supporting Assange are systematically disabling his opponents sites. One commentary likened it to the game Whack-a-Mole but this is a multidimensional game with the viral and exponential capacities of the internet meaning that constant reinvention and reincarnation are at wikileaks' disposal. The Bank of Iceland is happy to take supporter donations while PayPal buckles to decline.

The Mountain Astrologer website has obtained birth data for Assange and as he is a very uranian and scorpionic Leo ( go the fixed signs!)  he would be a happily subversive dealer in secrets.  The linked site has a chart & commentary posted

Here is Assange's Interpol page with birthdate

As we approach a powerful lunar eclipse before Christmas ( Sagittarius-Gemini) with Jupiter and Uranus locked in, this story may be set to gain avalanche proportions, mirroring the massive energies being unleashed within the environment ( particularly extreme weather at present -but more intensity is on the way and a mass exodus of people displaced by water conforms to the signature unfolding

Things NZ Gets Wrong

New Zealand has done pretty well in terms of creating a good society....until recently. The right for women to vote was socially significant in 1893 - New Zealand led the world in granting this. David Lange in the 1980's made us famous on the world stage for promoting an anti-nuclear New Zealand. We have long since maintained a social security system -the first elderly pensions being introduced in 1898; large scale state housing became available in the 1930's and in the following year of the depression era, unemployment benefits became available in exchange for labouring work stipulated by government agencies. From 1938, entitlement was available for any unemployed over the age of 16 years. More stringent rules now apply in the 21st century and the system is targeted for overhaul due to the global economic pinch -the Rebstock Report is likely to influence significant government changes under the National government's John Key.
The picture is terms of "a caring society" is indeed in decline.  The percentage of kiwi's who avoid seeking medical help due to the expense is way higher than in the UK, our source model for social support.
So after the 1930's global depression, social policy made NZ a more humane society. WW2 intervened with that way of bringing nations together in a mood of patriotism and a sense of working together for a common ( localised) good - so war is not totally detrimental - and the subsequent baby, building and consumerism booms created quite a land of milk and honey New Zealand through the fifties, sixties and seventies. The shite, of course, hit the fan in the eighties, with October 1987 providing New Zealand's day of reckoning -along with the rest of the global financial network.


Like the rest of the world we got it wrong in terms of money management, greed, speculation and this impacts on our risky ventures in real estate as confirmed in an international study. We overvalue our houses, rush into debt like it's hot chocolate and love the mountains of Chinese junk flogged off in our retail sector.


In 1999 the legal drinking age for alcohol was lowered in NZ from age 20 to age 18 with obvious and predictable socially harmful consequences. In 2010, 11 years later, with no policy reversal, the damage is chronic, endemic and generational.


Social Welfare policy, somewhere along the pathway since the 1930's, got skewed towards greater support for elderly than any other demographic. National Superannuation plus the SuperGold Card plus owning your own house for many years and any other personal wealth acquired or inherited places a sector of our aged community in a level of comfort not available to younger citizens who have health limitations, disability, or no place in the current work force. This inequality is a glaring, politically driven agenda.

Another NZ oddity is the extensive use of the DPB introduced in 1974 - the benefit system allowing scores of young mothers to chose single-parenthood as a lifestyle - rather than instituting social policy to promote other options  - like the advantages of not getting pregnant. Children having children - another social experiment gone wrong. Whilst the girls took off to the "burbs with their babies, the boys got seriously into showing off ( no sign of feminist effects on NZ society here). The global "boy racer" trend gained a strong foothold in NZ by the start of the new millennium - combining youthful arrogance, easy credit with overpowered machinery and the right to do so from the age of 15, mass gatherings are enabled, facilitated by the viral spread of text messaging, the result: a determined flouting the system and frustration for enforcement agencies, while affected neighbourhoods are completely disempowered.

NZ gets it right sometimes, but overall we are a nation of failed social experiments, with people's well-being paying the price for ill-informed social policy plus lack of judicial and political grunt. But it's more than that, something in the NZ psyche that is desperately immature and child-like, rebellious in all the wrong places and not radical where it really could make a difference. The booze mentality certainly mirrors many of these symptoms - selfish, irresponsible, no thought for others - and NZ has been pickled in alcohol since the first sealers and whalers brought their grog onshore and spawned their DNA amongst Maori wahine from the late 1790's: over 200 years of genetic damage from alcohol abuse permeates this land and the mind-set that prevails. Why else would successive governments do so little to minimise that risk - and in fact contribute to it by engaging even younger citizens in legalised intoxication? Our student binge drinking culture has become chronic.


Our capacity for social immaturity, unmitigated by sound public policy, appears to be worsening. What is it that our nation's leaders fear most? Being termed a "nanny state" appears to be political death in NZ - especially if you're leader is female ( Helen clark  managed 3 terms up till the 2008 elections as Labour leader) and this catch-cry is surely the voice of an immature sector - which in NZ is quite sizeable.


Parenting, management of money, alcohol, adherence to traffic laws are all things the NZ born kiwi struggles with - but those struggles don't confine themselves to adolescence - they have beome intrinsic to the NZ psyche and we need to find a way to grow up - or accept policies that promote this. Tough love works.


Footnote:
for those wanting an angle that pertains to planetary cycles and unfolding patterns: Pluto in Capricorn promises radical political restructuring and Uranus in Aries will be the child-like forces seeking to resist restraint. 2011, 2012, 2013 - in fact right up to 2016 will see major and sustained upheaval in society, globally, as we try to find the balance in every which way - the pendulum is definitely set to swing back into controls, austerity, restriction on a far greater scale than many have known. This is bigger than we could ever imagine & the process has clearly begun.

Famously Dead - Pike River 29

Fame is a curious thing, attaching itself  apparently randomly to the rich, the poor, the highly educated, the unschooled, but also, to the dead. Death, under certain circumstances, can raise the profile of a previously unknown to a level of profound fame - thanks now to global networking.

But curiously it is not all deaths so bestowed and not even all collective or mass deaths - hundreds died in a Cambodian stampede in November, thousands die in natural events in the developing world on a regular basis, but it is almost with resignation we pass these events over and move onto the next news.
Trapped miners appear to have a far different destiny - in Australia, in Chile and in New Zealand in recent times saturation news coverage followed by apparent celebrity status accorded in the first two events to the survivors.

In New Zealand, at the Pike River Mine it has been a different story: no survivors from the 29 trapped miners, but the degree of "fame" accorded to these men appears equivalent to fallen soldiers, with words like honour, respect and brave used in their memory. To reinforce the military association a Roll Call of Honour was read at the Remembrance Service on December 2 and Prime Minister John Key made an analogy to past military engagements..

How is it that 29 ordinary working men, the youngest just aged 17 years, who have died during a working day, come to be accorded the virtual status of a soldier laying his life on the line for freedom or belief?  Is it the collective aspect, the sheer pain of so many fallen as one? Is it our British heritage? Death in battle is noble.
But in fact there are no accidents or chance events if you are able to view the continuum of existence. This consciousness integrates the repeated recycling of life - that each of us has lived many, many times before, in endless circumstances. This continual lesson in living can be seen as a gradual path towards ultimate realisation:  the nature of existence. Along the path are many stumbling blocks, regrets and resolutions - far too many to address and resolve within the span of one lifetime. Hence we live on, again and again.

To die en masse, as part of a group, says a lot about the history binding those who share that point of transition: that they share a common, collective past. Were these Pike River 29 once part of another group, sharing simultaneous activities? Were they once warriors or soldiers? They went happily to work on that fateful day, unusually jovial, according to their bus driver. Did they look forward to what that day would bring? Was this a beautiful redemption?

YOUR NAME is a giveaway

You probably don't know it but the name you announce to everyone tells them a lot about you before you say or do anything else. The spanner in the works is that most people don't know this secret language and so they miss out on important personality clues that may be useful in assessing an employee, a partner, housemate or first date.

Firstly look at this number grid -each letter of the English alphabet is given an equivalent number  -this means the letter and the number have in common a particular resonance or vibration. There are far more complex ways to analyse names and words, but start with these 2 simple steps:

Check out your own name and firstly look for the first letter of your first name. Then look for any letters that repeat a lot in your first or last name - for example William Riley contains 3 "i"s and 3 "l"s -refer to the number to the left of the letter you wish to analyse The letter "i" is a 9, the letter "l" is a 3.
Here is what each number can tell you:
1. Assertive, confident, independent.       Lots of 1's : may be selfish, aggressive
2. co-operative, partner oriented, not a leader.     Lots of 2's: can be too dependent
3. Mentally active, clever     Lots of 3's  talkative, lives in the mind
4. Seeks power, authority    Lots of 4's - a worrier, negative, abuses power
5. Emotional, sensitive         Lots of 5's - too affected
6. Home and family type        Lots of 6's - self denial
7. Spiritual, wise                  Lots of 7's escapist, isolated
8. Executive, top dog           Lots of 8's very driven to succeed in business
9. Humanitarian                   Lots of 9's  martyrdom

Names which feature particular letters repeated have added emphasis on that number meaning -this is especially strong if the first and last name both start with the same letter -eg.  Marilyn Monroe and in cases such as Hillary Barry - which not only has double L and double R, but also repeats of A and Y and another R.  ( Names with doubles - where a letter occurs twice as a pair eg pp, ll, tt, bb, dd, ff, gg etc get that added boost from the vibe of the relevant number -but often you come across a first and last name with a double letter as in Barry Hillary -this person you could analyse as an assertive confident leader ( H, A) who has strongly humanitarian urges but needs to watch out for the tendency to be a martyr (R, I); likely to enjoy partnership despite independent urges ( B, A); intelligent and articulate ( L)  & with spiritual/philosophical awareness (Y)

Also note that all letters across the top row CLU FOX IR  give mental strength and activity
All letters across the middle row:  BKT ENW HQZ  operate more on the emotional/ feeling plane
All letters across the bottom row AJS DMV GPY  have strength in practical and material matters
so if it's a matter of first impressions and out of a group you have just met - if you want to have a good chat and probably a laugh head for the person called Lucy or Luke or any name with C L or  U prominent. If you want to meet a helpful co-operative person look for lots of B, K T, I R; a sensitive, family type: F O X W E N  ( Wendy can be too sensitive!)
This is just a taster -but my prior blog on the name DAVID goes into greater depth. (see link below)
There is heaps of info on names and numerology on the net -and lots of differences in interpretation/meaning - so just experiment and see what works - could be a laugh or could really pay off for you: forewarned is fore-armed

Adam Alter of New York university Stern School of Business looks at how fluency of names -their easy pronouncability and simplicity -  vs the reverse -  affects their impact  podcast via Radio NZ 

Joel Rosenthal, professor emeritus at the State University of New York at Stony Brook talks with Amelia Nurse about historical developments of names and surnames. Common developments such as 'son of' [Richardson] plus occupational as in Fletcher, Cooper as well as regional names as well as the shift away from patriarchal dominance in naming children.
podcast via Radio NZ  

Aucklanders will be interested to know that our Mayor's numbers are as follows:
 Len  - 13/4   Brown = 27/9  add 4+9 = 13 = 4 
Brown gives Len a humanitarian side but the repeated 4's bring him lots of worries in his demanding role where difficulties are on the daily menu. Gains are made by lots of hard work but defeats are also common
As for PM John Key
John is a 2 but contains strong letters 1 and 8
Key starts with a 2 and totals 14 = 5 giving a total of 2+5 = 7 = the philosophical side we frequently see, shrugging off problems. The emphasis on 2 is shown in the hi profile of his wife as part of his team. 
David Shearer
The name is full of 4's and totals 22 -the higher vibration of 4  - showing a high level of accountability and public responsibility is demanded -otherwise a severe fall from grace. Davids love being in positions of power and have to avoid abusing it. 
Shearer totals 38 = 11 = another hi vibrational (aka Master number) and leads with a one as well as another one, an 8, two 5's and two 9's - this is a great name combining strengths and sensitivity. When added the total is 33/6 which has a warm cosy homely feel about it and this is the low key side we have seen so far -  but it is the two power names which will enable him to gradually grow into his job, taking time with the enormous responsibilities entailed. It is his destiny to have significant roles and the current role as leader of NZ's Labour Party offers him another chance to be of great value.

DAVID  an in depth analysis

DAVID... what it means to be called

• All words and sounds have a vibration and the ancient study of numerology assigns a number energy to each letter. DAVID has a number total of 22 - called a master number -indicating the capacity for high achievement and significant karmic responsibility to humanity - so many Davids become well known -David Beckham, David Bowie  - but there is the potential for fame or infamy  - several high profile murderers or accused in New Zealand are called David.

latest:

• David Seymour
• The Donald uses David as an alias

David Turpin imprisoned his children

David Bain denied killing his whole family; he was first convicted, then later acquitted in a second trial.  ( trial evidence included a rape fantasy Bain wrote about). Another, David Tamihere denies killing two Swedish tourists. He served a lengthy time in prison. 
Where does this problematic energy come from? The energy of the letters D and V which feature at the beginning, middle and end of  D A V I D . 
These letters all have a number 4 vibration which connects to the energy of the planet Saturn.
Saturn both gives high achievement potential but also difficulties, struggles. The letters D and V (along with M) all bring a tendency to worry. 
DAVID as a name contains a triple whammy here with D-V-D.


The song Psycho Killer was written by David Byrne

David Birnie was an Australian serial killer
David Berkowitz, David Maust  David J Carpenter, David Leonard Wood, David Ray Parker, David Bullock, David Allen Lucas are American serial killers

David Fincher has directed several serial killer genre movies - Zodiac, 7, Mindhunter
David Tua is a NZ boxer who aspired to but struggled to make the big time
David Chapman shot John Lennon



Ultimately David is a vibration that seeks power or authority so many with this name seek the power of political life -David Cameron, David Cunliffe, David Carter, David Lange, ministers, prime ministers, senators are found with this name but the potential for infamy is also there - as seen when you google "david scandal" - and sex comes up as the vice in question when linked to Beckham, Letterman, Arquette, Copperfield (magician), Smail (golfer) and many, many more.

So if it is power craved, but power denied, frustrated, the inclination of the DAVID vibration is to turn to seeking power over others - whether in general controlling behaviours or at worst through sex or violence: rape, torture, murder and serial killing then enter the picture.

Artists or creators called David may channel these urges through their creative imagination - films, painting etc.-eg David Jacobson writer/director of a film about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer

So not all David's kill or become infamous, and not all killers are called David - the potentials can be either suppressed or expressed.
More factors can come into play that provide checks & balances. Urges can be restrained, sublimated, projected onto others or simply visited in terms of fantasy, but there is an intriguing association with this name and the striving for power, by any means, literally or by proxy.

Writer Jim Marrs says in the ancient world of Mesopotamia  the name David = Davidum was a title not a personal name.

The Davidum was the equivalent of a Caesar or Emperor.

Next time you meet a David, keep this in mind....

April 2018

NZ power-seeking politician David Seymour is regularly in the media. He belongs to a political party of one called ACT and is still breathing having been given resuscitation by the previous governing party. In real terms he is powerless now that an opposing coalition is in government. But this is no impediment when it comes to bold claims and attacks on alternate viewpoints
This recent hyperbolic tweet is indicative of a man dominating his own private universe:

Pike River Coal Mine Astrology

Update May 2019:
After years of lobbying to achieve a re-entry and retrieval operation at the mine a planned first attempt was scheduled for May 3. It was determined that this could not proceed due to unusual high oxygen levels.
Looking at energy patterns  at the start of May it is clear  that the way ahead is still not clear. The 2 control planets & 2 very relevant to the mine environment - Saturn & Pluto both entered retrograde loops at the end of April. This phase works against external activity - making direct action problematic impossible or very slow. The timing is just not right. Interesting to see Jupiter is currently 23 degrees in Sagittarius which resonates back to 19 November 2010 Jupiter 23 Pisces. But this is not the only opportunity in 2019. Jupiter is also in retrograde (since early April) but by the end of October early November 2019 a window opens. Jupiter Saturn and Pluto will all be in direct progress and Jupiter reaches 23 degrees on Oct 31. Nov 1st has Moon and Jupiter in Sagittarius & a Venus Mercury conjunction in Scorpio.  The signs align far better for a powerful resolution for the families.

Background:
The first indicative energy picture for The Pike Mine tragedy arose with the first recorded explosive event at 3.4pm on 19 November 2010.

Every chart indicates 2 major axes of energy: energy across the horizon & energy on the vertical plane. When planets converge along those axes their potency is highly magnified. This chart has Jupiter & Uranus close enough to synergise & with Uranus in close activating contact with the left horizontal rising energy. These 2 alone are capable of creating a sudden major gas event - especially being in the sign Pisces. But ignition is always needed: the rising energy is Aries - the zodiac expression of fire planet Mars at its most potent position 0 Aries . This was the ignition energy and with all 4 axis points at 0 degrees in the cardinal zodiac signs - which is the inherent point when all 4 seasons in nature begin every year - this means the energy at that time on that day was horrendously powerful due to the accumulation of multiple factors. Further confirmation comes from Mars being in a prominent high position and from the chilling combination of Pluto in exact conjunction with the karmic axis of the chart - north & south lunar nodal points. Pluto & the north Node are in tight conjunction to the most prominent position in the chart the midheaven - a place of major public attention. Where nodes talk of collective or group destiny with widespread implications or effects. Pluto speaks of death & transformation. Pluto classicly is the god of the underworld - the domain of the dead  All these factors in Capricorn describe the cold harsh rocky environment.
That a colossal fatal event in a mine was the outcome comes as no surprise.
Secondly some major mirroring is clear in the chart for 2.37 pm local time NZ ( GMT/UT +13 hrs) on Wednesday 24 Nov 2010 when a second & clearly unsurvivable explosion occurred to finally define the status of the 29 trapped miners

Clearly, Mars is exact on the midheaven with an exact square to the ascendant and Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces surround the ascendant. The Moon has just entered the family sign Cancer and will conjunct the Moon's south Node this evening, thus opposing the north Node & Pluto. The combination of Mars being the ignition and Pisces being the gas, Uranus, pumped up by Jupiter was able to exert one further knockout punch. Gas poisoning, primarily carbon monoxide is believed to be the primary cause of death.
Pluto in Capricorn describes the underground mine. Combined with the North Node in Capricorn, it speaks too of group karma

Pike River Astrology of Event #1

For the estimated time of 3.30pm on 19 November 2010.   See blog post below "Pike River Astrology: Destinies"

Pike River Astrology: Destinies

How often do we hear of people who missed a date with death by running late, changing their mind - or due to acting on a deep sense of dread. Conversely the determination to meet that terminal appointment is also clear: the pieces all slot into place as smoothly as the tumblers in a lock.

For others death is a sudden, unanticipated event and for many one that is resisted. Having a life philosophy that embraces death as part of the ongoing cycle of incarnations enables us to have far greater acceptance of the rightness and perfect timing of everything.

For most people that is far beyond their capacity. Traditional Christianity talks of heaven or hell options as if they are the enduring afterlife we can either look forward to or dread. In comparison, Eastern religions have a sense of a continuum - in Buddhism it is the mind-stream that endures beyond the physical incarnation, capable of reliving in another body.

The astrological significance

Death is the keyword that relates strongly to the energy of Scorpio., so not surprisingly in November death and other transformational issues arise. In addition, sex is called "the little death" due to the loss of self or singularity, as well as deep changes that can occur during or as a result of, sexual union.

Power - empowerment and disempowerment -  is an issue often thrashed out during Scorpionic times, so abuse, abusers, rapists & predators are examples of the negative use of Scorpio energies. In contrast, those who undergo massive transformations within one lifetime are tapping into the power of Scorpio's planetary force - Pluto. Having a makeover is an example, as is changing from a criminal to a humanitarian.

Ultimately Scorpio is about recognition of the non-physical, or metaphysical planes of existence. We live on a planet (Earth) which has a strongly physical,material emphasis. This makes it hard for people to believe in or even explore the unseen realm of energies, including the psychic or clairvoyant, vibrational and resonant energies - how things feel energetically - as opposed to feeling using the sense of touch.

The physical plane is the territory of Scorpio's opposing connected sign, Taurus.
Through Taurus we learn grounding through the 5 senses. Through Scorpio we can explore the "6th" sense and more.

The Pike River coal mine explosion occurred on Weds 19 Nov 2010 with an estimated time of 3.30pm.
This date was in the buildup period to a Scorpio-Taurus Full Moon.
The issues related to these 2 signs become very significant in this event - the physical life, death, transformation, attachment, security and ultimately one's capacity to connect to life beyond death.

Every year we revisit these issues in November but in the year of this event, complications impacting on this full moon concern the effects of the planet Saturn.
This planet is known to correspond energetically to the nature of rocks and geology.
It also is known to indicate delays, impediments, struggle, loss and tragedy -ultimately a bad omen when other factors indicate this.
This full moon had a stressful aspect to Saturn in terms of exact geometric alignment.

In addition, the planet Pluto - as already noted, channels the energy of Scorpio - is in a powerful position during November 2010, being aligned exactly with the North Node of the Moon. Both Pluto and the Node remain this month in the sign Capricorn - which is the channel for the effects of Saturn - so a powerful double-whammy of Pluto-Saturn provides the depth of the event.

The explosion occurred with the Moon in Aries - the fire sign related to heat, fire.
At 3.30 pm the sign Pisces was also prominent ( rising or ascendant sign) with the planet Uranus - indicating a sudden event - also in Pisces, in exact conjunction to the ascendant point. Pisces, through its planetary channel Neptune, relates not only to water - but also to gas. This combination of factors easily portrays a sudden gas explosion and with Saturn and Pluto involved ( Pluto relates to the Underworld) the location of a coal mine completes the scenario perfectly.

Since the event, the amount of "bad luck" and difficulty - delays, impediments, breakdowns, slowness - causing immense frustration & suffering, has been an intense, over-riding theme.
These are all common keywords for the influence of Saturn in this scenario. But all things are under constant change, so a resolution must eventually arise.
In the wished for outcome, the mine will be accessed and the men to some degree recovered.
By 3.30 today Weds 24 Nov, five complete days will have passed since the event. Since Monday, news, web chatter have been prominent with the moon in Gemini. By 3pm today the Moon will be in Cancer - the sign of families. This family factor looms large in an event like this: there are 29 miners in the mine - all connected to someone. The Cancer/family energy will intensify: this sign is paired with Capricorn and has strong resonance with that energy. When the Moon progresses through the sign of Cancer on the evening of Weds 24, it makes exact oppositional contact with the Pluto-Node combination in Capricorn.

To me this marks the point of climax in this drama. The Node speaks of collective destiny, Pluto of death and transformation in a Capricornian place -a mine, underground.
The Sun has left Scorpio and entered Sagittarius. People's faith, beliefs, or spirituality will be fundamental to their capacity to work through this intense process.

Update Nov 17 2013
In 3 years there has been remarkably little progress and defeat at every turn for the families of the Pike men
The degree of negative energy associated with this mine has been somewhat unmoveable
Processes are underway in November 2013 to create conditions for entry into the mine
This is another glacially slow procedure, with a timeframe of months involved.
The NZ government has declined to offer compensation to families in view of the Pike River mine company being financially incapable of meeting the court adjudged reparations to families.

NZ Herald extract:
The Pike River coal mine should have been shut down well before the devastating explosion which killed 29 men three years ago, says the author of a new book on the tragedy.
Department of Labour inspectors could have forced the mine to close solely because it had no alternative escape route if the access tunnel was blocked, said Rebecca Macfie, author of Tragedy at Pike River Mine: How and why 29 men died.
The author asserts that the company repeatedly cut corners and government inspectors failed to take action.

Facing the Future

Those who are keen to track the timeline of future climate/environmental events are understandably keen to know dates to plan around since the effects upon us all are anticipated to be major, unprecedented and therefore exceed our known experience.

I have a holistic view of how systems work which means I believe that there will be more than one indicator of things changing for our planet. In this context I would suggest that there will be other planetary behaviour in our traditionally known solar system, that reinforces, backs up or contributes to the effects expected to come about through the actions of any one factor including the mysterious Planet X interacting magnetically with earth.

By looking at what other planetary activity there is expected over the next few years specific times of challenging and disruptive energy effects can be timetabled. These effects impact us on earth and therefore are worth contributing to the overall picture.

With this in mind I have searched the records of future planetary transits, to look in particular at the effects of the  planets known historically to be involved in major events on earth – Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Mars, the asteroid Chiron, as well as eclipses of the Sun and Moon, the Moon’s Nodes, interactions with the Galactic Centre and the interactions any of these have with the Sun.

For the sake of simplicity for the everyday reader I have omitted a lot of detail in order to provide the bare bones analysis of what I understand to be likely times and effects experienced on earth:

We have truly entered into powerful times

NOTES:  dates are approximate: effects often begin before and continue after key date or time frame

Period surveyed from July 2010  to end of 2012.

The focus here is primarily on earth changes.

By looking for the key themes you will see a pattern of unfoldment.

As per the Zetas (http://poleshift.ning.com/ ), The Great Equalizer is a term for the Pole Shift. The period November 2009-October 2012 reflects this theme through other contributing planetary patterns.

July 2010- January 2011 and with late Sept-early Oct 2010 emphasised: a major emphasis on peoples home, families and capacity to nurture others. We have already begun to see homes and families destroyed in great numbers.

Global conditions continue to be challenged by stress resulting in earthquakes, destruction by natural elements and extreme conditions of imbalance,

 The signature magnetic field patterns resonate with vulnerable regions (and people) on earth.

Excess fire/heat and excess water themes continue till Jan 2011, after this fire/heat is dominant till June 2011.

SEPTEMBER 2010:  more unusual/sudden flooding or water events

OCT 1^st   Homes, families, responsibilities towards others emphasised again

NOVEMBER– collective/mass karma or destiny events

November 2010-July 2011 unusual water events, flooding deluge highly likely in this time frame

2011

JAN 4   the fate of America is emphasised and may indicate the New Madrid Event. 2011 puts America in the spotlight for sure

JAN 23-MARCH 13 2011    HEAT & FIRE. = hot/volcanic zones heat up much more

March 29-31     4 big stresses affecting earth including Galactic Centre activation. Prior research suggests earthquake activity and related massive earth events

http://www.galactic-centre-2012.com/id22.html

http://duncan2012.fullblog.com.ar/post/mayan-end-date-241240899426/

APRIL 4  strong activation of  fire/heat energy

JUNE 26-27^{th - -} OCTOBER turbulent destructive forces; impacts upon homes, families, people’s relationships; imbalances of all kinds need correcting

2012

JUNE 30 - AUGUST 31      the dangerous destructive pattern involving fire and earth is prominent.  People born 29- 30 June, October, Dec, or April of any year please take precautions; you may need to make major changes to get through this period

SEPT onwards  -  the energy of transformation is enhanced, due to resumed destructive earth changes extending into 2013

DECEMBER 23 powerful activation. Possible mass transformational time

Why the June 2010 Eclipse is a worry

This is a highly active eclipse which will have numerous unprecedented consequences in political, social and environmental spheres - so few people globally will fail to notice big changes in their situation from late June to Dec 2010.

People born in these time frames,  24-27 June, Sept 26-29, Dec 24-27, Mar 24-27 in particular, any year,  will have very noticeable dynamic and challenging changes. The effects on particularly responsive people could be, at the least,  difficult, upsetting through to dangerous. Be alert if you are in these time frames as to what conditions are developing in the days up till 26 June. Don't take risks or aggravate people; avoid confrontations or facing your enemies; be alert to danger; don't push your luck. The intense energies linked into this eclipse bring out the best or worst in people so many will have a chance to be heroes or simply look after others. You have to choose whether you are a giver or a taker: both sow the seeds of your future life/lives


Graphic demonstrates a basic lunar eclipse, but this one in June 2010 has links to at least 5 other major planetary forces 

CROP CIRCLES are back in!

If you thought they were a passing fad and a fake, think again. Crop Circles continue to occur in various countries and with great complexity.

The World is Changing

Be aware of global potentials for sudden changes in water, unusual conditions in water, big levels: sea/ocean/tides/rainfall all likely to reflect these qualities February to June, September to end of 2010, then also January-February 2011.
Volcanic activity accentuated June, July, August; ongoing earth stresses and quakes May, June, July, August. July could see a big seismic-volcanic chain reaction

NEW New Zealand?

If possible radical alterations occur in the formation of the earth's land masses, could New Zealand look like this?

Future Maps of the World

Whether you choose to believe or disbelieve, here for your consideration is a link to the site timeline2012  which features future global scenarios including land maps of a changed terrain of newly sunken and arisen land on planet earth. Quite dramatic. Here are some clips:
