New Zealand January 1935 & January 2018 - why are they matched?

High temperatures in the New Zealand summer in January 2018 have been linked by meteorologists to the last such period of heatwave -January 1935

Since looking at environmental conditions is one of my special areas of research my interest was piqued - and even a quick look at the prevailing cycles brings up very clear connections between these 2 periods.

Unlike standard weather forecasting, the method that is used here takes into account that our tiny blue marble planet operates within a massive system - and a system in which Earth is not the driver.

The drivers may be great distances away but there's enough evidence to show that they consistently play a role under specific conditions.

Multiple posts on this site explore this proposition in detail - and all are linked to a recent summary explaining the methodology

Some simple data for January 1935 and January 2018 provides the obvious standout factors -these are clickable enlargeable tables from an ephemeris

In simple terms with positions rounded Jan 1935

Jupiter  17-21 degrees Jan 1935
Jupiter  17-21 degrees Jan 2018
Both times in Scorpio

Uranus  27 degrees Jan 1935
Uranus  24 degrees Jan 2018
Both times in Aries

Neptune  14 degrees Jan 1935
Neptune  12 degrees Jan 2018
In opposition - Virgo-Pisces

Pluto 24-25 degrees Jan 1935
Pluto 18-19 degrees Jan 2018
In opposition -Cancer-Capricorn

January 1935 was an eclipse month [5th,19th] Partial solar and total lunar
Jan 5 solar eclipse was a supermoon

2018 began with a full supermoon on Jan 2 and ends with another supermoon on Jan 31 

With the moon cycles being in emphasised states [supermoons, eclipses] arguably Jan 1935 and Jan 2018 both show very strong potentials for extreme conditions -but not only due to the lunation cycle -but also on account of the standout planetary matches featuring the potent outer planets Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter which frequently feature in groups as effective agents when extreme conditions arise.

Effective refers to angular position -and this is given detailed explanation in the linked post.

The explanation will repeatedly argue that the degree position 27 [and its trigger angle 12] in particular [ with orbs of allowance allowing for 25-29 degrees -often coupled with 10-14 degrees ] commonly, consistently, repeatedly arise in times of extreme environmental conditions.

Looking at any possible activator amongst the standard planets the present dates again reveal this:
January 1935
Uranus at 27 degrees all January 1935
Pluto at or close to 25 degrees all January 1935
Neptune at 14 degrees all January 1935
Solar eclipse supermoon at 13'57 =effectively 14 degrees on Jan 5 1935
Lunar eclipse at 28 degrees on Jan 19 1935

January 2018 has
Full moon at 11 degrees
Uranus and Mars both at 24 degrees at the New Moon [17th]
New moon at 26'54 [effectively 27 degrees]
Jan 31 lunar eclipse at 11 degrees
Neptune at 12 degrees

Analysis of these energies to determine themes is what is undertaken after looking at the consistently recurring mathematics and the planetary indicators.This is achieved by understanding the type of conditions likely to arise under the prevailing forces - what those forces are and what type of energy they are expressing..
Again this is too detailed to repeat here and because this is a personally-developed skill based on decades of knowledge in my field of analysis - but the basics are covered in earlier posts.

Intense destructive heat in relevant zones - eg more typically southern hemisphere summer - as a pattern was locked in at New Year 2018 and posted on this site as a forecast for New Zealand - using just these methods - no meteorological modelling -  in a dedicated post of December 6

It is highly unlikely that standard forecasters will give an ounce of credence to this method but the truth remains that it works...consistently... for the past, the present or the future..if you know what to look for.



Another timely repeat of cycles is detailed in a separate post on the forecasting of severe/extreme weather/environmental events

The cycle in question is the multiple matches between Jan-Feb 1999 and Jan Feb 2018.
The conclusion reached:
Even without detailing full fine analysis it is clear that the turbulent forces will barrel on, combining and amplifying through January 2018 and through February 2018 with severe weather storms and severe environmental structural collapse events including avalanches, landslides, tectonic plate movement all potentials particularly through February.
All or any natural element is considered to be in the frame - wind, water, fire, earth - in forceful movement

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

latest: landslides in Philippines; numerous road transport deaths; Bus crash India; Pedestrians mowed down in Melbourne; ferry sinks in Manila; Seattle train crash at New Moon
scroll to end for updates

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

scroll to end for news updates

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.

next post : the New Year vacation period brings extreme conditions

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.

Profiling October 2017: Wild Forces

Wild Forces in the natural atmosphere and in human conduct from early October 2017

Apocalyptic scenes have accompanied the sheer quantity of fires fuelled by wind in the California wildfires which arose from October 8.

The documented status of the situation is reflective of the severity of the forces involved

Extremes in weather, extremes in the force of natural elements have been expressed in this same

time frame as fire, wind, water or rain, lightning, seismic and volcanic unrest.

The Atlantic Hurricane record is sitting close to being matched this season

update Oct 11 -volcanoes in Japan and Russia showed unrest

Disturbed natural elements and forces are inescapably connected to the human condition -and express as agitation, anger, aggression, violence, anxiety, distress, irritation, impatience.

Human and non-human energies struggle to find balance under particular conditions.

The mutual feedback makes this even more intensified: natural extreme forces disturb humans and the disturbed energies expressed by humans alter the balance of natural elements and forces.

In New Zealand in the time frame October 6-10 there were multiple motor vehicle crashes leaving 14 dead and at least 19 injured. This highly unusual spike in road deaths in such a short time frame is reflective of the impact of the prevailing disturbances upon human decision making and behaviour

At the start of October high profile events in Spain and the US involving mass violence saw Spain's riot police injure up to 900 people and one man kill and injure over 500 people

All of these events -human and elemental are connected and occurring under the same influences

What's Going On?

The off-planet forces affecting us.

The fact is we are a very small planet subject to the extreme forces in our solar system and when there is a violent force generated out there Earth gets the consequences.

The exact opposition of Jupiter and Uranus occurred on September 28 at a very significant position - 27 degrees. This is the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy in 2017 and past research into extreme forces on this blog indicates that planets transiting in the range 25-29 degrees serve as funnels for the extreme forces of that galactic centre location 

But not only 27 degrees is a connection point - the 12 degree position is also involved - and when a bunch of 27 and 12 are observed - like September 28 2017 when Neptune sat at 12.15 degrees - then the forces of 3 planets are funnelling the extremes.

By October 11 Jupiter left the sign of Libra -being 3 degrees away from exact opposition with Uranus at 27 Aries - but the forces tapped into 13 days prior remain potent and still in an interacting mode with the planet's atmosphere, elements and people.

The midpoint of the Jupiter-Uranus opposition shifting to 28-29 degrees remains in force in the period Oct 11-18 and therefore would continue to show the sorts of imbalances outlined.

What intensifies the outcomes could be indicated by Jupiter now entering Scorpio [ the full period being October 10 2017 to November 8 2018 ]

One of the indicators of Jupiter in Scorpio in the human realm is mass fatalities -due to those people in the population who have the capacity to inflict such an outcome -or due to natural forces.

Pluto - the planetary indicator of all things connected to Scorpio is likely to be an aggravating force when in negative connection with another planetary force.

In October this is 9-10-11 when Pluto links to the Sun and Mercury and 27-28-29th when Pluto links to Venus.

Though Uranus has more to deliver, Pluto and Jupiter are also ones to watch now and in the months ahead and into 2018 due to the extreme forces that arise when they are unleashed environmentally and through particular people.

During enhanced threat periods such as this, individual welfare will be improved by careful self management and well-reasoned decision-making.


This site has several entries on the galactic centre locatable through the search bar [click magnifier icon to right on title page]

An article located after today's posting has some interesting findings from another astro-researcher Paul Hewit who describes the GC:
It is a stunning source of energy, motivation, and aspiration. The Galactic Center is the Sun of our Sun. It is the source of most of the gravitational energy present in our galaxy, and probably the source of most of the energy in any chart, transformed through our own Sun.
If you have been born with any planet or axis [AC-DC, MC-IC or nodes] at 25 to 29 degrees in any sign -but especially if in Sagittarius - then that factor in your energy will be able to funnel the power of the GC
Paul Hewit noted that such people can feel "other-wordly", like they can sense their extra-terrestrial origin. They may have very unusual abilities

April 2017 - Extreme Forces in Many Contexts

Extreme forces predicted for April 2017 are manifesting with great frequency.

Updates confirm multiple extreme force events

Extreme Weather
Extreme forces that began to combine from as early as late February 2017 and began to manifest in March 2017 are sustained through April 2017 in diverse global locations.

One manifestion of the intense energy combinations is extreme weather with water proving to be a major destructive element.

Although environmental devastation from these forces is a well-documented outcome [events consistently coinciding with planetary indicators] - the outcomes are not limited to one level  or one context of expression.

Relating

• The intense forces prevailing in April 2017 have direct human-human consequences, impacting dynamics between people and their relationships.
• The pressures require significant upgrades in the style and quality of people's conduct towards each other  - or estrangement/separation/endings are the likely events facing them in April. In some situations a need for reality checking is required in order to rebalance a relationship
• Loss of relationship due to external events will also occur for many.

Money
Money problems and losses, events affecting assets - events in April will impact the financial and material circumstances of many people globally.
For some people this may be due to a loss of their home from extreme weather or major damage with no insurance.
This is not a great month to do well financially, take financial risks or to start a business - and this is likely to be demonstrated in global market declines.

Extreme Forces - human generated
Extreme energies always have the capacity to manifest through human behaviour and activity. The potential for destructive outcomes as a result of human intention remains higher than normal during April.

 and Leah Whitehouse's monthly report for a different emphasis in interpreting the hand that is dealt to us in April 2017. [Astrologers have their own reading style & mine would be in the least conventional and more global category]

confirmational updates from relevant global news:
diverse locations for effects of extreme weather already in effect include US reported April 3 and most fatally Colombia [mudslides after deluges] since March 31
April 3 Metro bombing in St Petersburg Russia multiple fatalities and injuries
April 4 Sarin gas suspected in mass exposure with dozens of fatalities and injuries inflicted in Syrian location Khan Shiekhun
April 5 extreme weather involving water and wind in New Zealand
April 6 extreme weather involving water, wind and associated landslips/mudslides continues to affect New Zealand -lower north and upper south islands

Several related news reports from US across the nation and one from India showing same intensity of weather

April 6 -extreme force in the form of a missile attack involving 59 cruise missiles launched on command of President Trump against Syrian military -in response to the April 4 Sarin gas attack in Syria by the Syrian regime
April 7 -extreme force by use of a speeding lorry deliberately crashed into a department store -deaths and injuries as people mowed down in Stockholm Sweden
April 9 multiple deaths in 2 blasts in Egypt on Palm Sunday
April 9 seismic stress is another example of extreme force -New Zealand is experiencing a fresh run of seismic unrest including in the vulnerable cook Strait region near the capitol, Wellington

April 10 - as anticipated, flow-on effects involving money/assets have already arisen from environmental damage. Markets & currencies are also in the firing line to trend downwards in April.  Awaiting global trend as April 10 gradually opens but NZ currency has dropped to a 4 week low
April 13 stocks fell across Asia, Us dollar and Treasury bond yields slumped to lowest for 2017
April 13 US discharged a GBU-43/B Massive Ordinance Air Blast Bomb in Afghanistan against ISIS
April 15 tensions between US and North Korea reach a dangerous level

Background on Extreme Weather
rewinding to a post from Oct 2013..with 2017 updates -including more reference to significant planetary factors 

OCT

21

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

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].

scroll to end for updates to 2017

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

above are the most 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 

A torus of super-heated dust surrounding the galactic centre black Hole -artist's conception

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.

December 2013
Around Dec 8
Heavy snowfall across Northern Hemisphere & in unusual places -Egypt, Hawaii, Middle East -all due to a jet stream snaking much further southwards in a meridional pattern rather than zonal

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
Natural forces [i.e. expressed as weather] & biological behaviour -human & other species vulnerable [with variation dependent on individual susceptibility] to disturbed, volatile & stress effects which will be evident in a range of news reports
From Weather Action :

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" 
Dec 22 UT In my locale the weather has undergone a sudden change from an unusually warm start of summer to cooler temps due to squally gusts of wind

2017 updates
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...

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
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 thatimbalance 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
