Heatwave conditions and associated fire hazards are surfacing in early October 2015 news
but extremes in the natural forces are also delivering flood and drought
but extremes in the natural forces are also delivering flood and drought
Parts of New Zealand, Australia and South Africa all in early Spring 2015 in the Southern Hemisphere are experiencing unusual high temperatures in some regions.
In the US:
Right now in South Carolina, floodwaters from an epic and unprecedented deluge over the weekend [October3-4] are coursing their way southeastward, propelled by gravity, through complex networks of creeks, rivers, lakes and streams. Along the way, the bulge of water has breached at least 18 dams, while threatening many more, and the flood woes of the Palmetto State show no sign of abating for the next few weeks. -full report
Southern Hemisphere extreme conditions well before summer are presenting significant fire risk in already dry rural areas -with homes lost due to multiple fires across the Canterbury and Otago regions of NZ's South Island.
Bush fires are threatening homes in Victoria, Australia.

| High to extreme composite fire danger down the eastern flank of the South Island NZ Oct 7 2015 |
The vulnerability of eastern parts of NZ is consistent with anticipated strong El Nino conditions:
Prior to the modern era, El Nino events occurred in the periods 1925-1926, 1930-31,
1932-1933, 1939-1940, 1940-1941, 1941-1942.

The strongest event in recent decades was the 1997-98 El Nino.
Weak El Ninos occurred 2004-2007, Moderate in 2009-10.
The return of El Nino for 2015-2016 is potentially strong to very strong & if a run of El Nino years occurs as in 1930-1933 or 1939-1942 then the flow on economic effect will also be sustained.

What's written in the Stars.
Planetary indicators have been observed for millennia in order to understand the natural elements -fire, earth, air and water.
Everything in existence is subject to the balance or imbalance of these environmental factors
Eclipses and very strong solar-lunar events can aggravate heat conditions.
A precedent event
September 28 2015 full moon total solar eclipse -at closest perigee for 2015 = Supermoon - in the fire indicator Aries.
This will aggravate prevailing conditions.
Eclipses set in place conditions for at least 6 months -until the next full moon or new moon eclipse
Not surprising that a lot of heat is in the atmosphere, hot winds, dry conditions

So drought is already being felt as reported in Papua New Guinea

But the full eclipse pattern included the flood indicators as well, strongly in effect from mid Sept 2015 and flowing into October.
Consistent with a scenario of sustained El Nino conditions, the outlook is concerning:
Consistent with a scenario of sustained El Nino conditions, the outlook is concerning:
September 2015-December 2016 a year of very noticeable extreme conditions involving too much or too little water.
These are globally relevant patterns and likely to affect many locations but not all.
Regional vulnerability is likely to already to be evident.
Flood and drought are strong to extreme in the period.
Some locations may experience both conditions.
September-October 2015 the flood energies are prominent
September-October 2015 the flood energies are prominent
November into December 2015 - drought and destructive floods both likely - locations have their signature pattern of vulnerability. The past can be a good indicator of returning patterns.
January into February 2016 big flood events
March 2016 - extremes in drought and flood events
June-July-August-September 2016 - flood and drought
November into December 2016 flood
The Indicators considered in the noted timeframe
Saturn-Neptune is the drought pattern when Saturn limits water or retains heat
Saturn is the dryness and restriction indicator.
Neptune is the water indicator.
Jupiter is the opposing force to Saturn, bringing abundance or excess.
Jupiter is also the growth indicator.
Saturn is the indicator of failure, loss, damage.
When Jupiter amplifies Neptune, floods, deluges occur
When Saturn is restraining Neptune dryness and droughts occur
When Saturn restrains Jupiter, growth and production decline.
Saturn-Neptune can also indicate destruction through water.
Moons nodal axis when activated by Neptune, Jupiter or Saturn.
Mutable signs Pisces, Sagittarius and Virgo especially relevant if in effect for Neptune, Jupiter or Saturn.
This is not the limit of possible indicators.
For example Jupiter or Uranus in Aries will bring extreme or unusual heat.
Both were in Aries in 2011 but being slow moving, Uranus remains in Aries 2011-2019.
Jupiter in Leo will amplify solar irradiation.
