APRIL 2018 - ARIES astrology notes

April 2018 begins under the influence of the March 31 Full Moon which has lots of baggage on board - and will flavour the whole month up to the April 30 Full Moon

Aries is associated with the head-butting forceful Ram

Aries energy rises up from March 20/21 and is in effect until April 20

When the Sun is in Aries the often too pushy, too raw and immature Mars energy is on display in the realm of interacting with others.

Volatile energy noted as arising in March persists through April - this encompasses keywords like fiery, explosive, aggressive, combustible, destructive

• complicating matters is the collection of planets all contributing to the theme of relating
• [Mercury, Saturn, Uranus Pluto all in Cardinal signs Aries and Capricorn, Full Moon in Libra]
• The War and Peace aspects have to be handled skillfully
• Saturn is strongly modifying the March 31st full moon and will arise as either lessons in restraint -realised after the fact [eg after the argument] or the opportunity to avert conflict by slowing down the high speed energy that otherwise risks an outright showdown
• This amount of emphasis and complexity is set to deliver a lot of showdowns, confrontations between the hot headed sometimes ruthless Aries energy and the need to modify, pull back and show greater Capricorn-style mature self discipline. This can occur within a person's own contradictory warring nature or between 2 opposing people eg in a work or domestic environment - or as in a Police [authority figure] versus angry armed man [Aries].
• whatever the context it is a battle between two energies that need to be resolved and the way forward is the calm, mature resolution otherwise fatalities are very likely in worst case scenarios.
• all this intensity is imbedded in the linked planets at the end of March full moon but the themes are sustained on particular days in April. Dates are Universal Time or GMT so need adjustment in some time zones.
• April 2 has the Aries energy magnified, along with Leo adding to the natural forces of fire and heat in the environment and people. Best to avoid high risk encounters or situations where arguments, accidents assault or injury could occur
• April 5 Heated relating dynamics high risk. Need to restrain anger, cool down heat, put out fire, soothe burns if on the receiving end of a volcanic outburst.
• April 9-10 risks due to speed, accidents
• April 11-26 especially April 18 a two week period beginning with angry assertions changing the quality of relationships and during which power-seekers [political and private-life] will really feel like rattling their swords - displays of power or threat in order to seek control. The 18th is consistent with angry minds, survivalist drives seeking power/control, sudden aggression/violence/accidents.
• [news update: high profile event on April 18 involving a woman partially sucked out of a plane after a window exploded ]
• The 26th is difficult with a sharemarket/assets/financial impact..a mood of confusion..sober reality challenges naivety/confidence

    More personal effects 

• April 11 Love versus possession is a theme in relationships dealing with power issues, control, anger, jealousy. Issues of delayed or deficient emotional development lay beneath and need resolving. Energy of mass death activated
• April 16 New Moon - from the 14th issues begin arising re appropriate/inappropriate behaviour, immaturity versus acting like an adult, being selfish versus being in a guiding supportive role. Anger /aggression could arise in encounters where such issues arise for discussion/argument. Stay off the alcohol if things are about to blow.

• April 26 two sets of planets are adding to the stress and frustration levels. Best to aim for the high ground and not sink to the level of your adversary. Violence is elevated in certain people with the Pluto-Mars killer theme in effect
• Take a deep breath before the next full moon on April 30 sustains the challenging themes related to love, possession and the pressure to function as an adult.

The Environment

• Environmental effects bringing ongoing intensities in natural forces are sustained in relevant locations during this forecast period especially during the first 10 days of April eg tropical cyclone developing near Fiji March 31st
• A full or new moon has typically a full lunar month of influence, effects being emphasised on days when other planets align. Often events with very relevant energy will happen exactly at full/new moon but equally common are events in the few days of build-up [waxing phase] or the days after [waning phase] 
• Unless otherwise stated forecasts are globally relevant. Environmental and seasonal variability across the globe means that normal local patterns need to be the context when extreme weather is indicated eg cyclone if in a cyclone zone, snow in a snow zone.

Astrological aspects of severe weather
As reported repeatedly on this site the methodology for identifying severe weather -called 27-12 - was used in this prediction. Uranus at 27-28 degrees, lunar nodes at 12-13 degrees prevailed from the start of April and were effective at the prior full moon of March 31 -meaning that the building forces were in process for over a week before Venus reached 12 degrees on April 10. The Moon also would have reached 12 degrees on that day - demonstrably providing all the necessary triggers for the existing forces. Note: the mathematics rule - ahead of qualities relevant to zodiac signs

March 31
Perfectly timed for the Aries-Libra full moon of March 31 was the Joshua-Parker heavyweight boxing title match in the UK. Both fighters had strong activations but Joshua born with Saturn in Capricorn was having his Saturn Return - a time when all the hard work can pay off -or not. But going by Anthony Joshua's highly successful boxing career it was more than likely this match would be his.

Many expressed frustration the referee [Saturn] controlled [Saturn] the fight too much, slowing [Saturn] it down. No surprise that the eenrgy of Saturn in Capricorn angled at 90 degrees was strongly impacting the Aries-Libra full moon when the fight occurred.

Aries is signified by the warrior, the battler, the aggressor, the soldier and so any adversarial encounters especially where weaponry is used are typically more prominent in periods of Aries energy as well as when it's related planet Mars is in a strongly activated position.

In people who are not Aries [Sun] or lacking any planet in Aries, the typical combative energy can also be expressed by the opposing zodiac sign Libra or in anyone who has planet Mars emphasised.

Analysis: the potent February 2018 solar eclipse

The February solar eclipse at the 

mid month New Moon carries a very interconnected complex of energies – signifying on one level extra powerful forces expressing through the natural elements and atmosphere

 then symbolically related effects in the diverse spheres of human activity.

Strong to severe environmental outcomes are expected in the form of weather and events which impact not only physical aspects such as landforms and surfaces but also built structures – all with consequences for people.

 - scroll to end

In the domains of human activity a continuation of material/financial impacts is expected as this eclipse shows strong capacity to wipe out money/assets. With uncertainty impacting world markets since the February 5 losses - under the effect of a sequence of planetary influences [Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn all interacting with Venus in the first half of February - and now showing outcomes] more pressure is being applied during the timeframe of this eclipse suggesting it is highly likely that a longer period of adverse indicators is now underway..not a simple quick correction.

Everything possible is on board this eclipse pattern: the sun and moon in conjunction are the tail end of a locomotive driven by Pluto, assisted by Jupiter, Uranus, Mercury, Chiron all in the range from 20-27 degrees – a “train” of energies always indicating multiple combined forces resulting in high potency.

The powerful chain reaction capacity of such a string is assisted further by  Mars, Neptune and the lunar nodes in the range 12-15 degrees. As described many times in prior posts, the 27-12 combination of energies, especially strengthened when in an eclipse grouping, promises highly significant events in human and natural activities.

The potential for immense destructive power in vulnerable locations and conditions indicates that where strong weather is clearly building that necessary protective actions are appropriate such as evacuation, flood protection. 

Highly energised conditions in some locations: wind and water, with underlying heat are elemental factors indicated strongly for locations where environmental impacts from these are relevant. Significant snow as a frozen form of water applies in locations where this is relevant. 

Structural collapse has been a theme since the start of 2018 and remains strongly in effect due to sustained reactivating factors. Outcomes include further examples of landslips, avalanches, bridge, road or building collapses –whether as a result of extra strong weather elements or due to the deformation of land from tectonic plate movement. Ingress of sea water as a destructive force continues to be a destructive element in coastal locations when combined with abnormally strong weather elements and with seafloor earthquake events – all of which are potentials elevated within the global environment in vulnerable locations during the 6 month effective period of the February 2018 solar eclipse.

Even looking at March 2018 -very similar themes persist at the mid-month New Moon though the energies aren't quite as completely entangled as at the mid February eclipse.
In March:

• The 27-12 pattern remains in place: Sun+Moon at 27, Neptune-Venus-Mercury combining in the 11-14 range = major indicator of severe weather 
• Saturn with Venus in the approach days -week starting March 12
• Saturn in a very tight 23-8 pattern with Jupiter 
• Mars energising the lunar nodes in a 29-14 pattern
• Water continues to be the key element causing structural damage on micro to macro scales. Vulnerability to this natural force is extra high in the March to April lunar period

In combination a re-affirmation of the prevailing dramatic and energised forces impacting not only weather/external environments but also areas of human activity with the clear message of reining in excesses tightening the belt not only with all aspects of consumption - food, drink, purchases as well as general money management.

Vulnerabilities Exposed

Impacts upon people include loss of assets/financial loss due to adverse weather/environmental forces but also in other contexts due to the generalised effect of Saturn-Venus diminishing material, financial gains. The stockmarket / sharemarket conditions deteriorating are part of the picture.

Structural collapse also applies to non-physical structures -conceptual entities or heirarchies such as companies or networks. 

Anything with a structure has to identify vulnerabilities under prevailing influences as the current pressures are set to expose weaknesses.

As at Feb 12 news continues regarding the losses impacting normally high performing construction giant Fletchers in New Zealand.

The overall situation in every context from the personal to the commercial to the political is one recommending restraint, conserving, caution in regard to spending, investing, future planning regarding assets/income. Everything has a season. Current conditions in the time frames indicated represent an Autumn or Fall preparing for a Winter.

Environmental and changing financial conditions both have the potential to deliver material/monetary losses during this first half of 2018 under forecastable influences.

Lifestyles, relationships are also examples of structures vulnerable to weakness - and in some contexts the Venus energy [Venus-Saturn-Pluto] will express as relationship loss. Powerful changes are evident in the way people are relating, gender issues very high profile under the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements so expect more disclosures, more women speaking out, more abusers identified. People also choosing to end relationships for positive reasons –to reclaim personal empowerment – but also people ending relationships by means of abuse of power – violent and homicidal energy is high risk.

Others will experience loss due to “acts of God” – where people are taken in accidents, environmental or weather events. 

At the time of writing [ as the eclipse energies gather strength ] on Feb 11 a regional passenger plane has crashed near Moscow killing all on board – this type of collective death and mass mourning is higher-than-normal risk under prevailing forces.

A strengthening tropical cyclone having passed through Samoa

heading for the Tongan & Fiji Islands on Feb 12 expected to reach maximum category 5 strength has the potential to cause at least severe structural and environmental damage in addition to loss of life. 

As in all experiences the range of impacts from person to person varies from direct to indirect and therefore from maximum to minimum – each person’s vulnerability is highly personalised due to their own match with prevailing forces and the degree to which those forces pose the related challenges identified. Most people will experience the effects through reading or watching the news.

Whether it is contextualised as destiny or karma there is a process in play that customises the path of growth for each of us. Knowing more clearly what your growth-path is gives an insight into the likely tests and challenges that will arise. Analysis of the astrological indicators at birth by an experienced practitioner is the most comprehensive personalised method for identifying the strengths a person can develop as well as the impediments needing to be overcome

March 17-18

• Earth experienced the most powerful geomagnetic storm since 2003. Magnetic storms, result from solar impacts interacting with our planet and are designated as a natural hazard with potential for extreme conditions.

March 17-18 extreme readings for Earth geomagnetic conditions

-------------------------------------------------------------- MARCH 2015 PISCES NEW MOON TOTAL
SOLAR ECLIPSE 
A complicated and extreme eclipse occurs in March 2015.

• The Sun and Moon conjoin at 29 degrees Pisces for a total eclipse of the Sun.

• This degree point is in the equinoctial zone marked by 0 degrees Aries – the traditional marker of Spring or Autumn/Fall depending on your hemisphere and commonly known to feature energised winds.

• So the strengthening effects of a New Moon, plus the amplifying eclipse effect added to the equinoctal energies is a triple whammy in itself.

The consequences are primarily related to potentising natural forces -storms with strong winds are the usual signature at the equinox, so the forces are taken up a few extra notches in the mid March period by the extra influences prevailing.

It comes as no surprise then that multiple tropical cyclones are circling Australia even 10 days before the exact eclipse on the 20th. 

Cyclone Pam reached Category 5 by March 12. Its trajectory runs closely east of Vanuatu, leaving the tiny nation in trepidation of the over 200km/hr winds anticipated Landfall on Friday 13th is forecast.
Note that only particular people and places experience the strongest effects of any global energy effect.
Energy is "earthed" wherever it finds resonance.
Places or people with a matching vibrational pattern will be activated 

Eclipses as well as ordinary monthly lunar events have the effect of capturing the energy signatures of other planetary patterns in effect.
The dominant planetary pattern in the period 2012-2016 is the repeated 90 degree angle between Uranus and Pluto as they orbit in and out of range of that connection in the extended time frame.

In March 2015, for the 7th time, Uranus and Pluto are exactly forming a right angle relationship -this time it is 15 Aries to 15 Capricorn – to be exact they both reach 15 degrees 17.8 minutes on the same day, March 17 [UT] at the same time.
Extensive writings are available both online and various posts on this site explain the full effects of Uranus-Pluto:

Extreme is a suitable keyword for the natural forces unleashed.

This is primal energy

The forces of nature include all energies our planet and solar system are capable of generating -wind is the primary expression in this context, but all forms of circulation, currents, waves are implicated. Wind and water are both subject to circulation patterns.
 This means water is involved as well and large bodies of water undergo amplification of their usual flows and levels. In other words normal patterns are scaled up.

This same effect is inescapable for humans and all other species and so the risk is high for certain people to manifest extreme behaviour.


The primal effect on humans is a brutalising impetus which the world has become all too familiar with in this timeframe when countless terrorist acts and hotspots of military aggression have become globally alarming.

Everyday citizens are at risk of channeling the primal rage and antisocial impulses triggered by the energy waves in effect under Uranus-Pluto.

Animals of course are not immune, so violent dogs are the situation most commonly encountered unless you live amongst other wildlife.
 
Uranus-Pluto on a societal level emphasises imbalances in power – and in this era historic and contemporary examples of how primal energy is used to abuse, control, overpower others are in the public mind. 
Power abuse is a very sensitive issue in this time frame resulting in people, organisations and governments being held to account
[update March 15 2015 - X Factor NZ judge Natalia Kills is widely criticised for her treatment of a contestant, subjecting him to a sustained and over-the-top personal attack .

                                                  Natalia Kills 15 August 1986 - Leo
This incident exemplifies clearly the power abuse theme currently emphasised. 
The perpetrator's backstory gives rise to the notion of abusers having been abused & then repeating the pattern.]

Natural forces though are outside of human control and moderation. 
Their primal signatures are embedded in the fabric of the space environment, our solar system and our planet. 
Without them we would not exist. 
We are drenched in primal energy but we are obliged to moderate ourselves in order to co-exist with others. 
Failure to do so brings death and destruction in the same way as fire, earth, air and water can move and shake us beyond our ability to resist.


The March 2015 eclipse has this destructive capacity, expressed both through natural forces and through people.

Water is the primary element of Pisces but associated energy includes chemical, pharmaceutical and drug products, poisons, intoxicants, addictive substances, recreational drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gas, oil. 
Any of these others can come into prominent awareness in the eclipse time frame -which builds before exactitude and flows until the next eclipse in 6 months.
[New Zealand has faced a threat in early March to use 1080 pest control poison to contaminate baby milk formula products. This example combines the major themes of the eclipse & includes perceived terrorist action to instil fear and to control, using a toxic chemical – also raising awareness of the subtext that the National government uses this poison heavily against perceived pest animals. This can be also framed as an abuse of power by a dominant species, deciding how nature should be to conform to human expectations or plans. The categorisation of certain species as pests is a subjective one made by a dominant species in the habitat.]

• a mass attack by terrorists has been unleashed in Tunisia: it comes as no surprise in the context of the prevailing planetary pattern which triggers extreme forces, that on March 18 a globally significant attack was made on innocent foreign nationals - tourists visiting the Tunisia Museum -report

• Southern Chile has experienced a M6.3 quake without fatal or damaging consequences. Earth strain with subsequent tectonic movement is also consistent with the prevailing pattern.

• March 24 Airbus crash in the French Alps is very indicative of the mega-force stress impacting Earth's environment.

 

With March 2015 representing the 6th primary stress period in the 2012-2016 timeframe of the 90 degree angle between transiting Uranus and Pluto - Uranus is in Aries and Pluto is in Capricorn -both currently at 15 degrees.

March 2015 total solar eclipse astronomical information and visuals

Extreme Weather from the Galactic Centre

The GC -galactic centre -the rotational centre of the Milky Way galaxy - at 27 Sagittarius is an energy point of unimaginable potency
Magnetic structures spreading across vast distances have been observed emanating from the core of our galaxy

Significant events on earth expressing the power of natural forces can be seen to cluster in the time frame of a GC activation.

This includes major movements or quantities of fire, earth, air and water and can include floods, landslides, earthquakes, volcanic activity, tornadoes, typhoons, hurricanes, torrential rain, tsunami, wildfires, explosive events - as well as including events of this type perpetuated by human activity [ Hiroshima-Nagasaki 1944].
The Double Helix nebula near the galactic centre is mirrored in the shape of double helix DNA -as found in almost all living organisms -human, animal and plant species, even viruses.

The discovery of intense magnetic forces at the galactic centre gives rise to the notion that magnetic torsion twisted the original pair of connected spirals into this shape. So now we have a magnetic resonance component to the idea that what happens at the core of our galaxy reaches us on Earth not only through atmospheric, environmental outcomes but directly through our DNA.

Typhoon Haiyan has slammed Philippines -an example of GC generated extreme forces
 update Nov 8 2013

Observations [above] made October 21 2013 re the roles of Saturn in October [12 Scorpio] & the November Scorpio eclipse [11 Scorpio] in activating by semisquare the Galactic Centre position of 27 SAG

• The June and December solstice points at zero Cancer and zero Capricorn have been considered for millennia to be potent activation points of cosmic energies.

• above are further potent activators of Galactic Centre energies, stepped down into the environment of Earth, with 27 SAG as the actual position of the galactic centre and all points at 90 and 180 degrees of that being significant, as well as all positions midway = 12 degrees in all 4 fixed energy signs [Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius] Any one occupied position has an equal capacity to trigger any or all others

The GC gets activated annually by the Sun around December 19
In 2013 only Mercury  [Jan 17] and Venus [November 2] make the same exact conjunction to 27 SAG. But these alone do not give rise to major activations.
My energy analysis method always includes the GC activations by the remaining signs of the mutable quartet - PISCES VIRGO GEMINI as well as the semi & sesqui squares = 12 degree position of any of the fixed signs SCORPIO TAURUS  LEO AQUARIUS.

When the 27 MUTABLE or 12 FIXED sign positions feature in a New, Full Moon or Eclipse the likelihood of extreme forces arising to a significant extent in diverse earth locations is worth considering

Milky Way Galactic Centre

It so happens from late 2013 into 2014 there is a run on these relevant factors with strong activations of the GC energy delivered by:


September full moon 27 PISCES
October lunar eclipse SATURN at 12 SCORPIO
November solar eclipse at 11 SCORPIO being midpoint of MERC-NODES-SAT
December full moon at 25 GEMINI
January new moon 11 AQUARIUS
March full moon 26 VIRGO

Exact positions at 27 or 12 are strongest but + or - 2 degrees is well within range of effect - giving a range 25-29 Mutable and 10-14 Fixed to consider.

Full and New Moons begin to be effective days before exactitude and until the following new or full state.

Eclipses belong to a six-monthly cycle so the effects can spread ahead that far - as well as being pre-triggered -one of the qualities of space-time that defies the limited linear logic of manufactured earth-time.

The period September 2013 - May 2014
is likely to be notable for many more extreme weather events and major environmental events which reveal the potency of the forces of nature.

The role of the paired transformers Pluto & Uranus locked at a 90 degree angle is undeniable in accentuating or aggravating the situation.

These two energies are very representative of Galactic Centre forces so their current activation provides a double-whammy effect whenever our solar system is zapped by a blast from the GC

Updates
Prior historical example:
CYCLONE Yasi formed January 26 2011.
Dissipated Feb 3 2011
GC activation came via URANUS  in conjunction with JUPITER  =  both at 27 Pisces on January 4 2011. The process was set in motion weeks before the cyclone formed.
[ 27 Pisces is at exact 90 degrees to the GC & therefore a very strong trigger - made stronger by the combined mega force of Jupiter blended with Uranus the force of change.]

The etymology of the word typhoon is of interest in terms of the most likely link back to Greek mythology
TYPHOEUS aka TYPHON  was a monstrous immortal storm-giant...so huge his head was said to brush the stars..

He appeared man-shaped down to the thighs, with two coiled vipers in place of legs. Attached to his hands in place of fingers were a hundred serpent heads, fifty per hand. He was winged, with dirty matted hair and beard, pointed ears, and eyes flashing fire. According to some he had two hundred hands each with fifty serpents for fingers and a hundred heads, one in human form with the rest being heads of bulls, boars, serpents, lions and leopards. As a volcano-daimon, Typhoeus hurled red-hot rocks at the sky and storms of fire

 boiled from his mouth.

The Full Moon at 25 SAG-GEM was within range of the GC & thus geoeffective in the time frame of a lunar month into January
 The Sun reached the Galactic Centre point late on Dec 18 UT at 27 SAG and Mercury too on Dec 22 - allowing for a conjoined activation of the GC forces in the period around Dec 20-22 
The important seasonal markers at zero Cardinal [Capricorn-Cancer, Aries-Libra] are also likely to be caught up in the timing of GC activations since 27 SAG is just 3 degrees from 0 Capricorn and the whole spectrum is activated at all other seasonal markers in March, June, September as well as in December
December 2013 is particularly worth observing for the added complexity of the Sun-Pluto-Mercury-Mars-Uranus synergistic activation from even as early as Dec 29 then strengthening in days to New Years Eve, January 1 & 2 2014

Dec 21

Piers Corbyn from Weather Action says the North Atlantic jet stream reached a record 275 mph on Dec 22 2013 -consistent with the long range prediction of wild jet stream events in the shift to a Mini Ice Age circulation pattern.
Corbyn's methodology is centred around solar activity which impacts Earth. 
His analysis also targets the end of Dec 2013 & into January 2014:
"Newly erupting active sunspot regions are coming round to be Earth-facing (below) when we predicted and will drive dangerous weather conditions around end Dec and start Jan in USA, Brit+Ire, Europe and the whole world."
"This 'Mini-Ice-Age increase in wild and extreme events will continue for the next 20 years"

MARCH
With the Galactic Center 27 SAG being activated by exact alignment from transiting Saturn at 27 Sagittarius, beginning effectiveness from start of March 2017 intense outcomes anticipated soon began to be evident. 

One planet alone is usually not significant enough to bring the worst extremes. [severe quakes, colossal tsunamis]

In March 2017 Saturn at 27 degrees links with any other activating factors at 27 and 12 degrees. 
The Sun and Neptune match these positions during March: Neptune [water indicator] for most of the month and the Sun at/in range of 12 degrees from March 2-4. 
From March 6 [UT] Mars at 27 Aries energises Saturn at 27 Sagittarius - extending over several days

The probabilities for heavy rain with flooding and destructive conditions creating losses and obstructions will also be very high in this time frame.
Just as March began [3rd] an indicator of extremes was in place -the exact opposition of Jupiter and Uranus. This opposition has an effective time frame of just over 2 weeks [until at least March 19] in which to keep generating more systems. This energy combination generates unbalanced energies and would have contributed significantly to extreme atmospheric conditions and the creation of disturbed, destructive weather systems. 
The Sun reaching 21-23 degees in the March 11-March 13 period synergises with this potent energy.
Then importantly 17-20th March when firstly the Sun is at 27 degrees, soon joined by the Moon on the 20th of March.

Regions of New Zealand's North Island beginning 7 March experienced extreme flooding followed by forceful winds -with conditions enduring several days after a brief lull between systems.

Other global locations showed related effects in this time period -as reported March 9 - India, Pakistan, Atlanta US...

further extreme rainfall on Sunday has deluged nearly 200 properties across Auckland City

mid-March saw  blizzard conditions in north-east US regions

March 14 saw the start of extreme rain, flooding and mudslides in Peru. This follows an intense period of extreme weather since early in 2017

By 28 March 2017 Queensland Australia was subject to Cyclone Debbie. The initial effects were followed by extreme widespread flooding affecting an even larger landscape than initially affected -even by April 2 more flooding was anticipated

Saturn on GC 2017
With Saturn's transiting position in Sagittarius remaining within the 27-28 degree range throughout April and still within the 26-27 degree range for most of May 2017 it is anticipated that activation of Galactic Centre [GC] energies is creating exactly the turbulent forces that generate extreme weather. The higher potential for this looks to be increased in April 2017 with Neptune [the water indicator] also highly activated [Uranus+Sun transits through Aries]
The 3rd factor [and there is always more than one] is that imbalance underlies the generation of these extreme forces. Energy related to extreme unbalanced forces was generated at the end of March [Pluto+Jupiter] and the triggers spawned at that time were given the force to unfold in days ahead...ready to merge increasingly from April 4 with Saturn barely moving from its transiting position, intensifying through the first week of April to lead into the developing Saturn-Venus energy at 28 Sagittarius and the Sun-Jupiter-Pluto energies combining from April 7.
Extreme forces remain locked in for a lengthy period, with many different manifestations - weather or environmentally related as well as human induced - with a likely time frame from April 7-19 2017
So this is a big package of extreme and destructive forces which will be manifested in many global locations 

April 2017 - tropical storm Arlene

September 2017  In the contact of the long-range of total solar eclipse in August, with sun, moon and Uranus at 28 degrees, a sequence of hurricanes in the Caribbean was unleashed.
Advancing Jupiter and retrograding Uranus led to the two due to meet in exact opposition at 27 degrees on September 28 -just a week after the 27 degree New Moon -  Hurricane Maria reached Cat 5 close to New Moon

December 2017
Historical Example 1: the North Sea Storm and Flood of January 31 1953
When I discover the date of an historic extreme weather event it is totally appropriate to see how closely the energy of that event matches up with the original theory proposed by the author of this blog.

• A lunar eclipse on 29 January was at 10 degrees - also activating the 25th degree
• Venus and Mars conjoined at 26 degrees
• Saturn and Jupiter conjoined at 25.5 degrees
• Jupiter at 12 degrees also activated 27 degrees
• lunar nodes at 12 degrees also activated 27 degrees

As often found an eclipse is involved here and any eclipse in the range [10-14 degrees] activates the most sensitive Galactic Centre degree range [25-29 degrees.
Therefore by reference to a planetary ephemeris such extreme events are predictable in advance and researchable back in history.
This example happens to be a very good fit for the theory. Others require more gymnastics but the order of significance is mathematics first, followed by planet/luminary or energy. Of least significance is zodiac signs though these can be seen to reinforce the picture.
Historical Example 2

Over 200 years prior a very similar storm hit the same region:
The storm and massive flood across northern Europe Dec 24-25 1717 featured wind and waves with devastating ferocity.

• Pluto and Neptune joined forces at 14 degrees which activated 29 degrees
• the lunar nodes were at 29 degrees
• Saturn was at 29 degrees
• Moon reached 29 degrees on Dec 24

This event was not associated with an eclipse nor any lunation -it was occurring midway between full and new moon - with moon at 90 degrees to the Sun late on the 24th -

• Sun and Moon at 3 degrees activated 18 degrees -being the trigger for the Chiron-Uranus synergy
• Jupiter at 2 degrees activate 17 degrees

Effectively there were two energy entanglements which accounted for virtually everything in play.
With Moon being the fast mover and common trigger it had a direct role to play in activating both sets of energy

• Sun-Moon-Chiron-Uranus-Jupiter
• Pluto-Neptune-Nodes-Saturn-Moon

Though possibly only minimally relevant, given the colossal amount of energy firing by late on Xmas Eve, Mercury -past 29 degrees, Venus at 17 and Mars at 11 all match up with the energy sets outlined.

Since these two events were referenced in the one article published Dec 28 2017 - due to the similarities in place and scale one planetary factor often regarded as the one that emphasises karma was virtually in the same position despite the 200+ years separation - Saturn was at 29 degrees in Libra at Christmas 1717 and was at 27 Libra on January 31 1953.

For what its worth:

 Libra indicates imbalances needing to be corrected
