Interest is running high in the 2012 centenary related to the mega disaster that was the sinking of the gargantuan Titanic.
A bulk auction of many salvaged items is to be held on April 1st in New York.
Film-maker James Cameron (Titanic, 1997) is associating with National Geographic to present a documentary "cold case investigation" into the tragedy, screening April 8 in the US.
US physicist Donald Olson from the University of Texas proposes that a perfect mix of astronomical factors enabled the unexpected icebergs to calve off in January 1912 and thereby enter the shipping route followed by the Titanic.
On January 3 1912 the sun was at perihelion in relationship to earth (closest orbit of earth to sun) in earth's annual circuit. Perihelion is always in January and so coincides with southern hemisphere summer, northern hemisphere winter)
On January 4 Full Moon occurred coinciding with lunar perigee ( and closest earth-moon distance for the year - called a Supermoon) this distance was 356,738 kms. [compare this to the furtherest for 1912 = apogee - 406,641 kms on Jan 18 1912.
Olson explains his understanding as a physicist as to how "This configuration maximised the moon's tide-raising forces on the Earth's oceans"
2012: perihelion is on January 5 but closest perigee is May 6 at 356953 kms - so no double whammy effect.
Titanic news is an example of ongoing maritime issues being highlighted related to the long term transit of Neptune through Pisces.
In addition the 1912 event looks to have been significantly activated by planetary factors massing at the 27 -28 degree positions. Mathematical repetitions are found as an indicator of the synergistic effect of multiple energetic forces giving birth to a high impact event.
If we look back to the factors at the Jan 3-4 1912 point as trigger energies

Now look at the eclipse cycle surrounding Jan 3-4.
The prior solar eclipse [New Moon] on 22 October was at 27Libra38
The next solar eclipse on 17 April was at 27Aries05
The April 1st lunar eclipse [Full Moon] at 11Libra49 is in tight angle to 27 degrees
The Titanic sank on April 15 1912 after embarking on April 10 - a journey which fell within the two April eclipses and which resonated so strongly with prior activating energies.
