Supermoon :Travel alert for December..

Multiple indicators of extreme environmental events and extreme weather have begun to accumulate since November 4th Full Moon and then continuing to show prominence at the November 18 New Moon, then the December 3 Full Moon

November 4 set the scene for extreme weather and significant environmental events.

The signature was Saturn Uranus and Neptune all triggering the potency of the 27 Sagittarius current position of the Milky Way's Galactic Centre.

This observation is covered in detail in various Profiler posts including Extreme Weather from the Galactic Centre

The November 18 New Moon has sustained this with Sun Moon Saturn Uranus Neptune all in activating positions

The December 3 Full Moon sees the build-up intensify:

Sun Moon Jupiter Neptune all synergised and collectively activating Saturn Mercury Mars Uranus

Each lunar phase signature carries forward til the next lunar phase of that type - new to new, full to full and lunar phases begin to kick in days before the exact mathematics of conjunction or opposition to the sun
The signature is the qualities of the stand-out energies present at that phase  - especially the dominant interconnected forces acting in synergy.
December 3 is a visible Supermoon - closer than normal & with stronger potentials.

The Meaning

Extreme forces have accumulated over a period of weeks in the energy field and atmosphere of earth, with high probability of significant outcomes in weather and environmental events.

Mt Agung in Indonesia is one relevant example - the volcano began signs of renewed activity on November 21 then began erupting on November 25 

As the days progress towards the end of November then come in effective range of the December 3 full moon, the potential for a significant eruption is definitely at high alert level - if the eruption has not already occurred by the 30th of November.

The December full moon carries themes of extreme water events [could be rain/flood/inundation, mass deaths, travel restrictions or any number of problematic issues around travelling.

The Mars and Aries energies are amplified = heat and fire

All forms of transport are vulnerable -land/sea/air but international travel is most vulnerable and when masses of people are collected together.

Boat people/refugees at higher than usual risk -masses on boats in water.

If ash cloud closes a number of airports we will again see a travel log-jam as witnessed when Iceland's volcano blew in 2010 [multiple planets and moon phases activated in the critical 25-29  degree range in March- April 2010]

This is a high-risk period for certain people in certain places

Local conditions will reveal whether the extreme effects are expected to manifest as weather; quake and volcano monitoring should show any uptick in energy.

The effects are restricted to certain locations, certain people - always depending on the physics of resonance. Energies are always attracted to certain places or people.

Your astrological chart is the only way of seeing if you are a match.

Use your instincts and take precautions if your circumstances potentially place you in the path of environmental extreme events or destructive weather in the period leading up to New Year.

A further post will cover the indicators for the Dec 18 New Moon which also occurs with some significant factors on board.

Historic precedent for Mt Agung
The March 17 1963 eruption saw over 1000 people killed

The Sun and Jupiter were conjunct at 25-26 degrees
The lunar nodes were at 28 degrees
Pluto and Chiron in opposition were at 10 degrees

Mt Agung in 1963 & 2017 
The Milky Way's centre is positioned at 27 Sagittarius in the current era [new millennium]
An effective range from 25-29 degrees can be considered relevant when determining whether a solar system luminary [sun or moon] or planet holding a position in that degree range is effectively acting as a step down transformer of potent forces from the heart of our galaxy. Earth is just one body in space where effects can be monitored and regular observation consistently confirms this process is occurring, with resultant severe environmental consequences -expressed both as weather extremes with associated atmospheric disturbance and terrestrial unrest expressed as seismic/volcanic activity outcomes.
Land sea and air are all collectively impacted and particular locations always show the most obvious outcomes. The complexities of where are left for others to specialise in. The issue of when is much more easily focussed into recurrent and perpetual periods when several planetary/luminary energies combine forces in the 25-29 degree range and as typically found when the angles* in the range sitting at 10-14 degrees are also occurring synchronistically. [semisquare - 45 degrees ]
The 1963 Mt Agung event has 25-26 degrees and 10 degrees - a total of four factors all in tight synergy. The lunar nodal axis at 28 degrees tags on to the Sun at 26.

The 2017 Mt Agung context:
The December 3 Full Moon  - which begins to strengthen from the last day of November - reveals:

• Sun-Moon-Neptune-Jupiter ALL at 12 degrees
• 12 degrees is the semisquare of 27 degrees
• Uranus-Mars-Saturn-Mercury sit in the range 25-29 degrees -with a midpoint degree of 27
• this tags on 4 potent forces to the four involving the full moon = total of 8 very tightly connected
• this type of combination is high potency and high risk in any context where the fuse blows.
• indicators regarding transport risks [Saturn-Mercury conjunction in Sagittarius] are high probability
• indicators for volatile explosive activity [Uranus-Mars in opposition] are high risk in terms of volatile materials, weaponry, destructive damage including accidents/crashes
• Jupiter in Scorpio: mass deaths due to large numbers of people in the target zone when the forces are unleashed
• Neptune-Jupiter connection - water danger/death or transformational change due to contexts where rain flood inundation affect land areas or sea vessels. Large seas, big waves in some locations. Big waves of compassion re major tragedy.

Many of these themes have been sustained for several weeks but keep being activated by the same energies remaining significant. The December full moon looks to be the strongest indicator of major outcomes.

A full moon's signature themes can be expressed in days before, on full moon day or afterwards -depending on which of all the current factors acts as the trigger. Often it is the fastest one -the Moon - but not always. Each full moon can be triggered at multiple times and expressed by multiple events in the time until the next full moon.

Indonesia, Mexico, NZ quakes April 11-12 2012

Using solar modelling techniques, astrophysicist Piers Corbyn applies his theories to earth events.
His methodology, anticipating the high risk of a very strong northern hemisphere quake in this current time frame at the tail end of Easter 2012, partly involves the massive vertical earth facing coronal hole that has been crossing the solar disc this week

USGS data gives 08.38 UT April 11 2012 - click to enlarge
Over 20 strong aftershocks have occurred to date including one M8.2

the dark area comprising coronal hole 512, capture from April 10 UT by NASA SDO

GEONET New Zealand's seismic network notices the quake

 A direct earth facing coronal hole sends a stream of solar charged particles in the direction of earth and the effect of this type of event is theorized as generating seismic unrest on our planet. Northern aurora have been noted in this time frame, despite the geomagnetic estimates being predominantly at very low levels during April ( mainly below G3 level) Aurora occur when the solar wind is able to enter earth's magnetic environment during the IMF  [Interplanetary Magnetic Field from the sun] negative phase. This has occurred in several periods of hours during  April 9. April 10 and April 11.
Piers Corbyn's method involves more considerations, including the speed of the solar wind, but he does not tend to elaborate in depth on the full details of his solar-earth forecasting.

This build up phase to the Sumatra region seafloor quakes can be seen to also involve the maximum south declination of the Moon [ exact on April 10] There are many who consider the extreme points of the Moon in high north, south or equatorial declination, to be trigger points for earthquakes.

National Geographic points to unusual factors resulting in no appreciable tsunami compared to December 2004 - the present situation involving slip strike events, a lesser magnitude than 2004 plus being intraplate - around 150kms from the nearest subduction zone -where the risks are much greater regarding tsunami due to megathrust effects.
We are also just outside of the usual window of influence of a strong lunation event -the first Supermoon of 2012 occurred on April 6 UT, but the strong gravitational effects of a closer lunar passage to earth than usual are logically factored in as well. See Richard Nolle's extensive website with his Supermoon information and forecasts.
From an astrological perspective, the usual suspects are not in extreme contention currently, though one of the main protagonists, Pluto in Capricorn has just reached it's retrograde station. The combined keywords of Pluto (transformation) and Capricorn (structure) are equally applicable to the earth, its constituents and all material form, as to the systems humans have created - and now face radical change. Soon we will see an intensification of Pluto's capacities with Uranus in Aries gaining in pace, to reach its first exact 90 degree standoff with Pluto - in June 2012. Events will build as this tightening angle closes.

Damaging tsunami effects in the focal region but no reports so far of extended tsunami effects.

Google Earth shows initial events, of which there were 27 (M4.9-M6.6) in the first 6 hours 

SUMMARY REPORT

Feb 7 2013

The aftershock sequence has resumed strongly in the Solomons seafloor region  - after the triple -zero 3hr period of quiet so now the sequence of number of events per hour there is:

Feb 6 sequence = 2,0,7,5,8,4,6,3,1,5,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,0,0,0,2,3     (started from 01.12 hrs (UT)

Feb 7 sequence = 3,1,5,1,0,0,0,1,2,1,1,0,1,2,1,1,0,1,1,2,3,2,0,0

Feb 8 sequence = 2,0,1,0,3,2,0,2,3,3,0,4,2,2,2,5,0,1,2,1,1,0,1,2
Nearby: Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia have all had quakes over M4 in the 3 days since the Solomons seismic unrest, making this section of the Pacific Ring of Fire the current global hot spot
Data: USGS

Feb 11 2013
Over 150 aftershocks of M4+ and up to M7.1 have occurred in the Solomons region since Feb 6

Jan 11 2012

Including here, due to potential regional impact, events in Indonesia, specifically today a M7.3 quake off Banda Aceh Sumatra, which was a strike slip, horizontal event and therefore less capable of tsunami generation. A very useful geological paper as a  PDF resource exists, with hi-res graphics appended, for those interested in a study following the devastating 2004 Boxing Day quake &  tsunami in the same zone.

Ongoing quake unrest offshore from Christchurch New Zealand increases the reputation of this south Pacific zone. Westwards movement of the Pacific plate and uplift of the Australian plate could be showing a stress point in the Christchurch zone of NZ.

PLATE BOUNDARY n/e of NZ

UK university researchers have been paying a lot of attention to the Tonga Trench, said to be the most seismically active zone on the planet -and the second deepest ocean zone, which like in the more northern and deeper -in fact earth's deepest - the Mariana Trench at around 12N of the equator features a chain of undersea volcanoes which are on a path westwards, subducting under the adjacent tectonic plate and both regions are showing the descent of the volcanic mounds into the trench below. Fascinating stuff, but also rather scary, in that this amount of activity and the research being applied, indicates that the global scientific community is very aware of the fragile era of tectonic upheaval facing many areas of the globe. Long overdue readjustments are on the cards -and the influence of planetary stress factors  - especially at the moment the cycle phase of Pluto and Uranus - in the larger scheme of things indicates that in our lifetime there is cause for concern.

Japan of course has had its wake-up call in 2011 - as has New Zealand since September 2010 and with the seismic factors considered both countries remain in the at risk category for further destructive events. Of course the South Pacific island nations including Samoa, Fiji and Tonga are living in very vulnerable region.

Larger view with some Red Dot volcanoes maked

New Zealand is clearly at the mercy of the westwards subduction, with the Tonga Trench extending down to the Kermadec Trench and then to NZ's North Island East Cape

                     The fault map shown with Geonet NZ graphic of most recent quakes prior to Dec 13 2011

Clearly the plate boundary is very active

The South Island of NZ is positioned on top of the Pacific plate boundary with the Australian plate and this convergence created the Southern Alps. Of NZ's four main cities, only 2 - Auckland the northern economic hub and Dunedin, in the much quieter deep south, are distanced from the boundary itself.


New Zealand authorities are showing a sudden significant response to earthquake hazards, some 10 months after the destructive Christchurch quake in February 2011.  A string of public buildings have been closed in recent weeks across the country due to being designated as earthquake prone. Many are heritage or tend to be older unreinforced masonry constructions.

It could be assumed from this increased sense of public protection, that the authorities in New Zealand have ben very clearly advised of ongoing hazards being anticipated from the seismic vulnerability of New Zealand.
