World Economy Shakes October 2015

October 2015: what’s written in the stars

People and places most resonant with prevailing energies can expect to encounter adversity from events of socio-economic, political or environmental significance

Ongoing Themes Persist:

• Economic growth indicators continue path of decline

• Financial restructuring

• Assets, financial position, markets, face further downturn

• Drought fundamentals embedded & worsening

• Extreme weather in vulnerable locations

•  The eclipses of September 2015 remain in effect for 6 months so further indicators of war and peace, enhanced aggressive military activity and violent individuals acting out are in the October news - more US mass shootings, bombing in Turkey, Syria situation 

NEW and FULL MOON in October

The solar-lunar events of the month emphasise ongoing and emerging themes.

The key lunar phases build in strength from 3 days before exact and have viability within the full lunar month until next month's new or full moon, due to other planetary triggers potentially activating the locational position of the new or full moon and/or the nodal axis of the moon.

NEW MOON exact on October12^th/13^th

Jobs dissolve or positions restructured

Serious economic news

Restricted finances

Restricted growth

Sudden shock in global markets is possible
N

update Oct 12

Oil down 5% on Wall St forecast demand in 2016 suggests further weakening; commodities accounted for most of the losses on the S&P500
update Oct 13
China import-export data continues downward, with imports a striking 20.4% down in September 2015 vs Sept 2014
update October 14
US and Chinese weakening data have downward effect on global markets

FULL MOON October 27

An unusually pervasive web of closely interconnected energy involving all planets.

Issues of material and physical survival raised by adverse conditions

Material/financial wellbeing dissolved or diminished

Suffering due to a sense of disempowerment, loss of control

Supply issues unbalanced: too much or too little

Social inequalities highlighted regarding the dysfunctional degree of focus on self versus awareness of others.

If the worst-case scenario arises and there is a noticeable globally significant economic shake in October - rather than just further volatility - this month will be of considerable importance as a marker of the long overdue and widely predicted - even by conservative financial forecasters - onset of another global financial meltdown.

The IMF considers the estimated US$3trillion in over-borrowing in emerging markets to pose the greatest risk to the global economy, the unprecedented spree of lending/borrowing being no longer viable.
Commodities like oil, minerals, metals are in a slump phase: the period 2005-2008 was marked by high prices, big investment and concerns about scarcity generated the oversupply problems causing problems in 2015.

If October is not a wipeout, then it is likely to be indicative of further contagion re declines in global markets and economies, evidenced as well in the employment data.

The bust itself could be slightly deferred.

Picking which straw breaks the camel's back is not an easy task.

update November 4 2015 - the Uranian effect [being opposite the October New Moon in Libra] bringing change in conditions, resulted in a bounce upwards, supporting global sharemarkets with Jupiter amplifying Venus and Mars bolstering Jupiter - all in mid degrees of Virgo. These are transient effects which will be not be sustained in the face of the passage of Saturn through Sagittarius -an indicator of inhibited, restrained growth -affecting everything from crops, to business.

Other Reading

A few years back I discovered Merriman Market Analyst -a highly successful American forecaster using planetary cycles. 

Somehow I forgot about this useful link, but recent indicators of significant factors impacting global economies reminded me of Raymond Merriman's site.

We both look at planetary cycles but don't use exactly the same emphasis and our analysis methodology is different.

Merriman is way more experienced in this specialist area and uses "advanced research techniques" whereas I am a generalist using just my brain.

However it is interesting to compare his October report and read his articles -from my perspective, in order to anticipate upcoming trends - not for investment purposes, which is his emphasis.

July 2015 analysis shows hi-risk potentials

Analysis of prevailing energies extending from June 2015 into July 2015 shows continued high risk of extreme behaviour, extreme force.
Balance is in short supply.
Particular periods in the month of July stand out as emphasising the aggravating potentials.

Each date should be extended by 1-3 days either side - with the New and Full Moon having the widest range.
Universal time is used - which in some locations indicates the day prior for events dated.

July 2    Full Moon & Saturn-Pluto, Mars emphasised
July 6-7 Sun, Mercury, Saturn Pluto
July 16  New Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Pluto 
July 31  Full Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto

With Cancer-Capricorn emphasised under the New and first Full Moon, the related signs Aries and Libra are automatically triggered as well.
Issues impacting upon families, on homes and housing, on government, on finance & economics and an activation of the energies of war and peace, make this month very potent.

Everyday issues will arise in the noted contexts but the hi-risk potentials involving the combined Saturn-Pluto capacity for extremes of destruction cannot be ignored.
When these two energies draw in other planets by virtue of their geometric positioning, there is more intensity and scope for the combined forces to have mass impact. 

People disposed to act out these forces are more triggered than usual to commit mayhem, under the prevailing vibrational stimulation occurring in July 2015.
[Update: News reports as July begins reflect the violent aggressive forces emphasised - prison riot in Australia, murders, stabbings. 
In addition, the role of Mars energy, especially from July 1-4: Mars brings heat, inflammations; more war-like, militaristic activity 
All these effects in addition to the overriding destructive Full Moon] themes of Saturn-Pluto
 

addendum June 29 

The above forecast was written in a period when two major themes already unfolding:

• A swarm of terrorist attacks, which seem to be a response to the call to act during Ramadan [18 June-17 July in 2015]

This is a June New Moon to July New Moon time frame

• the situation facing the Greek economy being at risk of default on its interest repayment to the IMF. 

The aftermath, if this default occurs is viewed either as extremely bad or not so bad by different observers. That may reflect whether you are an out-of work Greek citizen or a citizen of a more prosperous Euro nation. 

Clearly the threads are there, the energies in place for both situations to spiral into globally significant situations. 

The period 13-19 July Universal Time is of most relevance. 
Religious tribalism or devotional patriotism is strongly stimulated.
[Cancer New Moon in Pisces decanate]
Losses of wealth and relationships both equally possible
[Saturn-Venus]

July 15 update:

With a bailout negotiated for Greece instead of a Grexit from the Eurozone, the IMF has condemned the terms imposed on Greece -preferring a write-down of debt, but the creditors were not impressed. PM Tsipras faces a parliamentary battle to comply with bailout terms.
The austerity side of the equation has been given a leading advantage in the Greece negotiations -which is consistent with the New and next Full Moon forecasts identifying the balance sliding further into economic adversity for many.
All this volatile energy is now unfolding in the New Moon timeframe - building over 3 days, rising to exactitude on July 16 (UT 01.24) & the wake period of 3 days -effectively July 13-19 - plus generally in effect for the lunar month until mid August New Moon.
This is significant -as all events are that have timing connecting to a New Full or Eclipse solar-lunar event.
The New Moon themes as stated involve:
 Families, homes and housing.
Losses of wealth and losses in relationships both equally possible

Update July 17

Aljazeera report of at least 100 killed in car bomb blast in Iraq at the end of Ramadan
This coincides with the warning issued re the New Moon period 13-19 July


From July 28 another pattern builds
The unusual two Full Moons in a month situation compresses even further the timeline of events: 
Exact full Moon is on July 31 Universal time 10.44am
Now involving Leo-Aquarius -and their team-mates Taurus-Scorpio. 
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn will occupy 3 of those 4 signs but keywords for all four energies are relevant.

Leo is the indicator of dramatic people and events. 
Sun, Mercury, Jupiter in Leo will bring a lot of love energy to the fore
Aquarian energy is about social justice, relating as equals in any context, freedom.
But the Saturn-Pluto theme is still in play: Scorpio energy is expressed by Saturn in Scorpio at this time and the energy of Pluto in the equally ruthless Capricorn.
This combination as explained earlier:  hi-risk potentials involving the combined Saturn-Pluto capacity for extremes of destruction cannot be ignored.
When these two energies draw in other planets by virtue of their geometric positioning, there is more intensity and scope for the combined forces to have mass impact. 
This can be actions made by humans or forces of nature


People disposed to act out these forces are more triggered than usual to commit mayhem, under the prevailing vibrational stimulation occurring in July 2015.

Taurus represents money, possessions, security. The global financial entanglement threatens this aspect of life more than ever. 
Some will have these issues highest in their priorities.

The overriding theme is that cruel, austere, brutal and cold hearted urges will be in conflict with the energies of big-hearted love and generosity.
Helping those in need versus abandoning those who are struggling is a relevant consideration.
Jupiter & Venus together in Leo are a loving, warm, generous combination but when offset against the cold brutality of Saturn & Pluto a big choice has to be made to bring love to the fore instead of hate.
Each of us will resonate with some part of this pattern of energy and each is positioned on one part of the spectrum between love, kindness, tolerance and the energy of hatred, destruction and repression.
This positioning of self is emphasised in the lunar month from late July 2015. Hopefully you can act with full consciousness.
[update: a big global story with relevance to the July Full Moon is the shooting of Cecil the lion by American game hunter Walter Palmer. Cecil being a lion is a LEO symbol. The man abusing his technologically enhanced power - weaponry - is a Pluto-Saturn symbol

Palmer, left, above on another hunt. The internet has many images of this trophy hunters big game exploits.
Because this behaviour which was brought to global attention in the rising period of the late July Full Moon and because it resonates so strongly with the issues activated under the prevailing planetary energies, this issue is globally significant ]

2014: what to expect on planet Earth

This forecast analysis was written on January 6 2014

Updates from relevant news events have been inserted.

In 2014 a grand domino effect can be identified as one strong pattern of activating energy trips the next in a long sequence with August looking likely to hog a lot of the drama.

On the level of human life and society we continue in 2014 to undergo massive pressure to change, to redress our imbalances affecting social existence, economies, political management, financial infrastructure.

The natural world is synchronistically expressing its deficits and excesses. The process proceeds with more turbulence on offer.

2013 was noted as a tough year by many and the natural expectation is that fate, destiny karma has something of a regular alternating flow, that good and easy naturally follows tough.
Hang in there folks because the rough ride is far from over
My post dated October 2013 also forecast significant environmental extremes for 2014

                 How it looks from Space 2014

Part One
This month-by-month summary of some standout space events identified through astro-analysis covers the period January-August 2014 inclusive in terms of effects experienced on Earth in diverse locations.
AUGUST is really the month to watch - but before then, several periods show extreme signatures
Note that quoted dates are a guide to a period of effect that builds some 3 days prior & can remain in an active phase for 3 days after. 
In addition the exact mathematical position of the New, Full or eclipse event can be retriggered by subsequent occupation of that position by a different planet
eg April 15 2014 total lunar eclipse at 25 Libra will be retriggered on July 16-17 2014 by Mars 25 Libra -with related effects.
January
Extreme weather particularly in the northern Hemisphere at the beginning of the month shows what effects a Supermoon in closer than normal proximity to Earth can do to natural forces on the planet
Days surrounding end of month -  30th - New Moon have strong activation signatures associated with severe to extreme weather events; earth crustal strain = seismic, volcanic risks enhanced.
This energy extends into early February
[New Moon position = Galactic Centre activation at semisquare angle; Jupiter opposite Pluto.] 

February
See End of January effects as February begins
Watch & note any strong weather developments on 8th-9th as they have a later relevance
Last week of February merging into March is another period to observe strong-severe indicators
[New Moon; Venus-Mars-lunar nodes in synergy ;Jupiter square Uranus]
March
March 1 New Moon period opens the month with energy begun end of February being sustained.
Influences remain strong till Full Moon and energised beyond this period

In the News March 14:

On March 15 2014 New Zealand anticipates being subjected to the extreme forces of tropical cyclone Lusi.
Earlier in the week:3 fatalities in Pacific island Vanuatu from cyclone affecting large numbers in the western south Pacific region

March 30 New Moon Sun-Moon-Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto all in synergy with extreme tensions - Sun joins Moon & Uranus with this trio at 90 degree angle to Pluto and to Jupiter - which are in opposition. A recipe for imbalanced natural forces causing mayhem

[news update March 31 - quake energy elevated in the US and New Zealand

Above 2 views -the NZ seismic network plus the localised readings for initial M5.1.

If this energy is extended it will reflect the forecast for early April.Note powerful solar events -X-flares & other magnetic disturbances impacting earth can be identified just prior to elevated seismicity. An X flare occurred March 29 at 17.52 UT

April
The influences from late March flow over into early April with the Sun-Uranus, Jupiter-Pluto pairings maintaining their rampage

update 3: April 4 Solomon Islands under severe flash flooding
Thousands left homeless]

April 15 -the first eclipse of 2014 is a full moon total lunar associated with Uranus-Mercury, Jupiter-Pluto pairings sustaining the potent unbalanced atmospheric and stress forces swirling around Earth.
Strong effects including extreme weather and seismic events are regularly noted around full moons, eclipses - especially when other planetary alignments link mathematically to the sun-moon pairing.
Mainstream science only looks at separate details & fails to see the solar system as constantly integrated, inseparable with feedback between all elements ongoing
updates
In the days building to the eclipse: [when events often occur]
April 12: Queensland, Australia spared full effects of category 5 Cyclone Ita but wind & rainfall were strong
April 13 Solomon Islands, Papua region & Iquique,Chile very seismically active as seen in this list of recent high magnitude quakes

Update: April 13 Chile wildfire is indicative of the fire potentials of Uranus in Aries under stress from Pluto and Jupiter

update: April 17-18 -New Zealand feels the strong force of ex-Tropical Cyclone Ita coming from the North, bringing gale force winds and driving rain causing flash flooding- North Is report South Island report
update April 20
The number of high magnitude quakes [M6+]  in the past week is worth noting

Update
Extreme Easter storms in New Zealand -Canterbury  West Coast
Piers Corbyn of Weather Action points out the synchronicity [and relevance] of the M7.3 solar flare on April 18. with subsequent geomagnetic effects on April 20 [known to have significant weather effects]

From April 21 & over several days now Mars-Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto form a Cardinal Cross = all four planets linked in connected signs -and at one point joined by the Moon - all tightly bound in the 13-14 degree range. Political,economic & social crises are potentials along with the disturbances in natural forces
Pluto-Uranus reach their 5th exact 90 degree square [since 2012] and are associated with major upheaval & transformational even revolutionary changes.

Supermoon August 2014

A sector of the solar system showing the layout relating to August's Supermoon. Astrological components are noted after this general rather grim forecast:

August is a life-changing month for many in 2014 and for a significant number that means literally death -transcending physical existence for the metaphysical.
The prevailing combination of energies are a significant death indicator -  likely on mass scales; high drama, death by fire, in military contexts and at the hands of violent individuals - or at the very least major transformations affecting particular people and places.
[Due to individual differences identified in personal profiles -always there are some primarily & directly affected; others have secondary or tertiary effects. It is all about degrees of separation.
As an example: the person who is violently assaulted has the primary effect; the person who assists them in their injured state gets the secondary effect; the person who watches or reads the news coverage gets the tertiary effect.]

Sun in Leo is a heart energy and connects to children, creativity, love. Difficult and life threatening energies are affecting those matters. 
A spike in coronary health crises is likely. 
Broken hearts due to love gone cold. 
Grief from death of a loved one. 
Children are extra vulnerable. 
Artists facing creative blocks. 
Arson and destruction by fire and other forms of aggressively destructive conduct.
Uncontrolled ego and narcissism underlie much of the extreme and survivalist behaviour generated under this Supermoon's effects.
Possession and control via annihilation.
[with scores of children already killed in Gaza during July under the military attacks from Israel, it is very concerning that this location could continue to "earth" the destructive force of the Supermoon pattern which will begin to be activated by pre-triggers from early August -well in advance of the exactitude on August 10]

There are also many extreme weather indicators associated with this Supermoon so relevant environmental hazards in your location need to be anticipated.

Where is the individual in all this?
Each of us is affected by the significant period of social, economic,political,environmental disruption we are experiencing 2012-2016 -it is simply a matter of degrees of intensity across different people in different places.
The process is about rebalancing energies and each of us is pressured in some way to address this question: where in my life do I need to make changes in order to live my life more harmoniously with others and with the natural world?

The Astrology of August 2014 Supermoon

The folowing factors underlie the analysis given in the above section for general readers.

Sun,Mercury, Earth & Moon form a tight alignment on August 10-11 with Saturn at a right angle to this collection plus Mars forms a right angle to Jupiter

[ Degree positions at exact Full Moon = Sun-Moon 18 Leo-Aquarius; Mercury 20 Leo; Saturn 17 Scorpio; Earth 18 Aquarius; Mars 8 Scorpio; Jupiter 5 Leo.

The fixed signs [Leo-Aqaurius-Scorpio] being very dominant give a strong survivalist theme and prevalent extremism 

The Neptune issues of water imbalance continue into August & feature in the Full Moon pattern of August 10

This is no ordinary Full Moon 

• it is the closest Moon to earth in 2014 and so has stronger potentials
• This Full Moon is a severely aggravated one
• Saturn sits square on to the Sun, Moon, Earth and Mercury

      [Saturn Scorpio vs Sun-Mercury in Leo; Moon, Earth in Aquarius]

• Add to this potency Mars squared off with Jupiter in another Leo-Scorpio combustion

Bu there is far more complexity & intensity here than a general readership can digest.

Keen observers will note:

•  the Uranus-node midpoint activating the horizontal axis
• Multiple GC - Galactic Centre [27 SAG] - activations including Sun-Moon-Mercury midpoints to Mars; Venus & Jupiter midpoints to the MC; Jupiter-Saturn midpoint; Uranus-Neptune midpoint; Neptune Node midpoint.
• The more the channels to the Galactic Centre are activated the more extreme events, including weather, arise]

This August section has been extended and re-edited as a separate post

Part Two (Sept-Oct-Nov-Dec 2014)
October stands out for two reasons:the eclipses of the sun and moon
Falling after 3 successive Supermoons, the eclipses add further turbulence and geophysical strain into the earth terrestrial and atmospheric environment

The October 23 partial solar eclipse with sun, moon, Venus conjunct in Scorpio highlights the transformational and death signatures of that sign.
Issues of power, power abuse, disempowerment are strongly implicated in Scorpionic themes

What adds a strong environmental punch to this eclipse is the exact positioning of Mars on the Galactic Centre 27 Sagittarius. This degree position is highly sensitive to power planets starting from Mars & all further ones in outer orbit.

The Moon at 12 Scorpio on Oct 24 will intensify Mars' unleashing of galactic level forces - which on earth manifest as intense storm effects and further terrestrial strain adding to the flow-on effects of the October 8 total lunar eclipse - [which has already by October 14 activated significant seismic disturbances in New Zealand, South America]

Due to the 2 eclipses, expect signs of atmospheric/weather turbulence & geophysical strain to be persistent through much of October in vulnerable earth zones

Sydney storm and a massive North Atlantic storm are in news on Oct 15
A surprise blizzard with fatal effects in the Nepali Himalayas reported on Oct 16
Mexico, Hawaii, Bermuda and UK all faced severe storm effects.
Hurricane Gonzalo figured prominently up to October 21

NOVEMBER 2014
Noting the combining effects of Mars and Pluto in Capricorn adversely angled to Uranus in mid November producing much heat, volatility, pressure and structural strain affecting environmental, terrrestrial and biological systems.
Weaknesses, fractures and undermining effects will in some cases be readily overt, but in others, silent and secretive -so in the context of seismic shifts may become evident with the application of further terrestrial strain with the waxing New Moon of November, from the 19th: the Mars-Pluto combination is adversely angled to the Sun-Moon. The added complication is Mars-Pluto at 90 degrees offset to the lunar nodes which is likely to be profound in effects as a result of the contacts made in the period from Nov 19-Nov till the end of the month. 
The Mars-Pluto-Nodes situation has Cardinal group energy and therefore is defined by the issue of BALANCE /IMBALANCE.
This issue underlies extreme weather events and is very relevant in human personal, interpersonal and collective affairs.
Personal relationship dynamics, use/abuse of power in all contexts; political extremism, ruthless ambition

Mars also adversely contacts Neptune which indicates water-related structural effects.

Mars-Neptune elevates trickery, deceit, fraud, illusion, magic, dirty tricks

All combined, the second half of November 2014 has much intensity in human affairs as well as the environmental issues noted. 

Effects can be initiated under a particular energetic influence and remain silent or latent until a secondary influence triggers the manifestation - so dates of exact planetary interactions do not automatically show the event described. It depends what prior building conditions were in effect.

Supermoon JULY 2013 - world forecast

This is a global report since Earth is in its entirety
 subject to solar system forces.
Particular locations and people will show the highlighted effects
 due to the resonance or vibrational match between the person/place and the prevailing energy input from the solar system

The 3rd Supermoon of 2013 is due on July 22

The birth of a new British Royal is awaited

New Zealand experiences a quake swarm

July 8 2013 has the New Moon and Mercury closely joined
 in Cancer; Uranus square Pluto; Saturn trine Neptune
 as standout factors
Forecast

In this period there is a continuation of the global context of ongoing social/political/envionmental turmoil.
[update - start of July 2013: noting extreme weather, destructive natural events, instability in Brazil, Egypt, Syria - as evidenced in news reports are all relevant to the prevailing energies for the month]
 Planetary factors [Uranus square Pluto] provide a turbulent backdrop to the group of water signs [Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer] increasingly in July generating strong emotional responses across significant numbers of the human population.

This scenario suggests major political/societal/environmental events during the lunar month which will serve up significant

• doses of major change in the lives of ordinary people and which rightly warrant
•  a supportive response from those in better positions of safety, security and welfare.

[update July 9 Egypt & Syria remain in a major state of internal political conflict. The period July 5-8 has seen a rash of accidents involving transport -bus crashes in Cuba and New Jersey, plane crash landed at San Francisco airport, train explosion in Quebec
Astro-analysis reveals the planetary energetic factors as Mars conjunct Moon at 25 Gemini, both forming an exact 135 degrees angle [sesquiquadrate] to the 10 degree Scorpio midpoint of Saturn-North Node = death, difficult times re transport failure/crash

update July 1 - recent solar activity impacting earth since June 28 2013 is also relevant:]

June 28 saw a strong geomagnetic storm impact earth, as a result of a high stream solar wind in full connection due to south polarity of the Bz component.
There were 15 hours in succession of storm level readings from over K4 up to K7 in the period June 28 21:00 hrs UT to June 29 12:00hrs UT 

This was a long duration geomagnetic event bringing northern lights as far south as Kansas and in New Zealand up to Wellington, latitude 41 South.

Flow on effects are anticipated in earth systems - natural, biological and electronic. Watch for relevant news of related turbulence in weather, human/animal behaviour, system malfunctions, sharemarket panic [not extreme but causing instability] especially July 1-2. 

The planetary picture means for many the month is dominated by the energies of homes, houses, families, lunar, female, motherly, nurturing. Sensitivities are heightened, with compassion and caring to the fore.

This suggests continuance and even greater emphasis upon the ongoing trend seen in vulnerable locations across the world whereby families and their places of refuge – their homes – are under real threat of destruction: 

• if environmental factors [effects of fire/wind/water] reach extreme levels
• or loss of dwellings/family disintegration as a result of political-societal upheaval if human generated disaster zones derived from war, conflict or misuse of power, spread into residential areas.

[update July 2 Arizona wildfires, flooding in Indian Assam region and M6.2 quake in Indonesia all bearing destructive forces affecting homes and families]

Further social rebalancing effects are equally possible in known global conflict zones as well as in western democracies – in other words, wherever the use of power has become severely dysfunctional, abusive, corrupt. Such circumstances are the evidence of systemic failure on the part of governing regimes and elected decision-makers to fulfil their essential purpose – to effectively manage their nation’s resources in order that citizens may enjoy productive and collectively beneficial lives. This ethic has for the most part, across the planet, been buried in the mists of antiquity, but a redressing of the power imbalances is unavoidably on the global agenda under full spotlights during the period 2012-2016 

[update July 17 Royal Baby Awaited
An exact date has not been disclosed prior to the birth of the British Royal Family's latest addition. She/he is expected to arrive in the period approaching -i.e. the powerful building phase of exact full moon - the Supermoon detailed below -the lunar energy is likely to promote childbirth in anyone hanging on or overdue
What makes this period especially relevant to the Royals is:

• the 0 degree Leo-Aquarius Supermoon is exactly square the Queen's 0 Taurus Sun and exactly square Prince Charles' [grandad] 0 Taurus Moon.
• the Supermoon is exactly square Prince William's Jupiter at 0 Scorpio and exactly square Prince Harry's Pluto at 0 Scorpio
• Mars and Jupiter, both in Cancer go into close conjunction on July 20 2013

Queen Elizabeth when a three year old Princess

• Mars and Jupiter are exact conjunct at 5'50 Cancer on July 22. This highly energetic link between Mars and Jupiter is a Royal family tree signature passed down from the Queen
• The Queen has Mars and Jupiter in tight conjunction in Aquarius -being 20'52 and 22'30 respectively
• Prince Charles has Mars and Jupiter in conjunction in Sagittarius -being 20'57 and 29'53 respectively
• Princess Anne has Mars and Jupiter trined in Pisces and Scorpio -2'53 and 3'53 respectively
• Lower profile Princes Andrew and Edward do not have this trait.
• Prince William does not share this pattern. Nor did his mother Princess Diana and nor does Prince Harry
• Both William and Diana share the Sun sign Cancer
• The Royal sign Leo and or corresponding symbol the Sun tend to be prominent in those born into Royalty [William, Charles, Queen, Anne, Queen Mother, King George VI, Princess Margaret]
• The Sun moves from Cancer to Leo in July every year and in 2013 will do so on the day of the Supermoon, the 22nd.
• Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, formerly Kate Middleton - is likely to have Moon in Cancer [no verified birth-time located]
• A child born before July 23 will have a Cancer-Leo mix giving much sensitivity and strong family ties as well as the love of public profile and the very relevant highly energetic Mars-Jupiter trait - fitting in very nicely into the Royal personality -more to come once the arrival is specifically timed.
• If born even within day or two of the Supermoon - the personality factors outlined will reflect in the personality of the new Royal
• update July 22  right on the Supermoon, Duchess of Cambridge goes into labour -reported by BBC and has gone to St Mary's Hospital London. Supermoon is exact at 18.17 UT July 22 -  see Royal Baby analysis

July 22 Supermoon - Full Moon: Leo-Aquarius with Mars-Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune water sign Grand Trine; Uranus square Pluto

The Full Moon pairing of Leo-Aquarius generates issues around  love, love affairs, friendship, group activities. What links these is that they are all ways or levels of relating and questions may arise as to which is most appropriate.

• The Human Collective continues to be emphasised, in terms of the Big Family – our connection and attachment to the larger pool of humanity is likely to arise in many situations. 
• Events are likely to bring this consciousness to the forefront at a time when human - as well as other biological and energetic forces of nature are in major adjustment – shifts, changes, realignments, alterations in balances and emphases – as part of the journey of humanity towards greater realisation of our potential. 
• The long-term process is however fraught with challenges - including shock and bewilderment -  since most major shifts appear to be initiated by outside forces. But there is no difference. The outside is a mirror of the inside. Everything is in mutual feedback, each to each other and us with the environment. 

Further factors [Mars,Jupiter] add to the effects generally experienced on earth from the lunar gravitational dynamic co-created with the Sun at Full Moon and the Supermoon situation due to close perigee. 

 These factors combined place a much greater than normal strain on the earth’s crust due to stronger tidal bulges around the planet.
In addition, fluid and atmospheric pressures are capable of large increases in the period around this full moon.

These effects may be evident from July 21 and continuing into August as several triggers come into effect engaging Mars & Jupiter with Uranus and Pluto. 

Geophysical stresses will increase but may not yet be evident in terms of significant surface seismic rupturing - further strains could erupt as the weeks progress into August

Environmental atmospheric turbulence is likely to be widespread globally –storms, severe deluge, flooding, landslips –anything in the category of extreme weather cannot be excluded - as relevant to local conditions and their trademark vulnerabilities.

Stormy conditions affect human interactions as well.

update July19
Wellington, capital city of New Zealand experiences significant quake -seen here just registering on the national seismic drum network. Preliminary magnitude 5.7. Epicentre is south of the city, 8kms deep in seafloor.

This faultline map section with epicentre [orange dot] shows the involvement of the major faults associated with the plate boundary zone crossing New Zealand.

update July 21 2013

Geonet quake drum July 21 Wellington NZ records quake activity generated below seafloor, Cook Strait with magnitudes up to M5.8 -exceeding the initial M5.7 event of Friday 19th

News report on NZ quake swarm
Quakemap 
Instead of reducing, the Cook Strait quakes affecting Wellington are increasing - on July 21

Quakes of this magnitude vibrate through the whole of New Zealand.
This one upgraded to M6.5

What is interesting in the animation is the wide spread of seismic activity beyond the focal Cook Strait area - and even further beyond the map coverage

Monday July 22 also saw two destructive & fatal quakes -M5.6, M6.6 in China 

July 29 sees a M5.4 in Cook Strait and a M4.7 in North Canterbury - adding to the possibility that added strain on the major Alpine Fault running through the South Island could be the process to watch as we head into high risk August - report

Note:
As forecast in the May report on the lunar eclipse:

The involvement of the transport signs [GEM-SAG] along with Saturn-Neptune in Scorpio-Pisces gives grounds to expect fatalities associated with any transit mode – walking, jogging, bus, car, truck, train, plane, ship are the main methods of transport – and all are at risk of  failure, involving death. Neptune brings issues around these events: a detrimental force of water, drugs, alcohol,

 the inattention of an unfocussed mind -

 are all potential adverse ingredients

An eclipse has a period of influence until the next eclipse event period some 6 months later. In July a succession of transport accidents have occurred with Neptune lingering around the 5 degree position - linked tightly to the eclipse at 4 degrees.
Neptune will retrograde back to 4 degrees in August, probably increasing transport accident risks

Further updates may be added as news reports confirm expected outcomes
