Earth forecast for November 2014

NOVEMBER 2014
Imbalances in the natural environment
Extremes affecting biological systems
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.
Heat in some areas offset by opposite extreme temperature.
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. 
[update Nov 17 M6.5 earthquake offshore New Zealand]
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 also 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 effects -dissolving, flooding, soaking and swelling structures.

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. 

The influences of Scorpio and Pluto during November are accentuated by Saturn also in Scorpio, increasing the depth of challenges related to literal death, loss and transformational experiences

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.

The 2012 phase of renewal: society, politics, environment

During the six year period 2011-2016 we will experience perhaps the greatest period of global social, political, economic and  environmental transformation known on our planet.

2012 marks a significant phase in this unfoldment which extends over several years.
 It is the sheer depth and breadth of change awaiting us that makes this era unprecedented.
Long-term tectonic-type readjustment  (which is also replicated geophysically via plate movement & seismicity) of social, cultural and political practices is assisted by technological networking on a scale never before possible in a phase of revolutionary momentum.
Now global awareness is set to increase exponentially regarding our planetary relationship within the larger systemic network - habitually dominated by our mega-star, the sun, but also home to a gargantuan cosmic environment.
For the purpose of this explanation, two factors operating in the geo-effective space environment set the scene for massive transformations in the given 6 year period of their tight alignment.

In the cosmic web earth sits amongst, magnetic field lines distribute resonances across vast distances of space. The energetic forces generated by Pluto and Uranus are known to have profound, long lasting and transformational effects.

Their current dynamic phase involving a tension-generating 90 degree alignment indicates that the creation of global change will be full of challenges, discord, upheaval, resistance versus repression - as two world views, the old versus the new -  stand off against each other, in a replication of evolution seen countless times before on the face of the earth as well as within it.
The greatest emphasis, for those with personal birth chart data, ranges in the band from 4 to 18 degrees and is expressed through the energetic profiles of four signs:
                                       ARIES LIBRA, CANCER, CAPRICORN
These are called the Cardinal group and significantly, they correspond astronomically to the four seasonal markers at the solstice and equinox points in March, July, September and December - created for us on earth by the relative position of the earth in orbit around the Sun. A simplified view, not to scale, illustrates this.

In addition the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn shown on globes and in atlas maps indicate the band astride the earth's equator where the sun moon and planets have their astronomical passages in respect of our planet. Put simply, this points to the importance of this group of four signs in the structure of earth's relationship to the rest of the cosmos.
NASA and other scientists are already anticipating a long term cooling effect on earth due to an exceptional solar minimum unfolding in coming years, so the profound issues are not limited to human society.
A summary of the wide-ranging shifts we face signifiantly in this 6 year period would have to include the following, based on the signatures of the four cardinal indicators:
The fundamentals of human society and how it is structured and administered, from all levels of government, to business and the bedrock level of the family unit.
Personal and business relationships - the nature of marriage, parnerships
The role of the individual in the context of the whole
Parenting issues
Matters relating to homes, housing and habitats
Work-life balance
Personal careers, public life versus private life
Ambition versus nurturing
The economy, financial manmagement, budgeting, personal and public spending
Environmental issues ranging from resources & pollution to seismicity, volcanism, weather & climate
The state of change affecting our larger home, planet earth

June 2012 sees the first exact point of connection between Pluto at 8.24 degrees Capricorn and Uranus at 8.24 degrees Aries, but the winds of change are already in progress.
Those born on or closely around March 28, June 29, Sept 30, Dec 30, any year have this pattern applying extreme pressure since at least the start of 2012 ( in terms of their birth sun position.) Individual analysis will show any other planets under the gamma-rays of this duo.
(It barely needs to be stated that the Arab Spring, events in Syria and Greece represent just the starting point of this long-term Pluto-Uranus process)

A new start is neded for humanity which is intrinsically connected to evolutionary change affecting our planet. Significantly historic times are not just what you study in school. Some of us get to live through them and this era ranks very highly in terms of living on a planet in change in a dynamic universe.

Update May 14 2012
With the May 12-13 weekend marking a resurgence in global Occupy protests about system failure (you probably heard very little via mainstream media) be assured that this point in time is very powerful in terms of setting the future agenda for change ...that will topple leaders and their corrupt regimes across the world during the next 4 years in particular.
The balance of power has been distorted for way to long and is undergoing a clear correction. Read more on my continually updated blog, starting with:

What is Space Weather? Why do you need to know?

SPACE WEATHER is what is coming at us from space – since we are all bathed in an electromagnetic energy field that is generated by our own planet and which interacts continually with charged fields from the sun, the gravitational pull of the moon and the energy field of the rest of the galactic planets – we experience effects from all of those changing forces. They shift us up, down, sideways , they alter our reality, by serving up a continually changing set of circumstances, by altering our moods and responses, yet we also know that our lives are subject to cycles, where circumstances return or repeat: we seem to revisit the past and we are not alone in this. Everything in nature is cyclic, in fact everything goes around in circles. Everything from the trillions of subatomic particles that comprise you and all matter, to the water exiting your bath is moving in a cyclic, spinning system. How is it possible for you to feel separate from this? Only by forgetting or denying. You live on a spinning globe, which spins around a much larger spinning fiery sphere, a star we call the sun, which dominates our solar system of planets spinning in a gravitationally connected domain of space.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System

This is a system dominated by spin, meaning movement in circular patterns, with inherently repetitive cycles –as obvious with the movements of the sun and moon in relationship to earth, enabling day-night-day-night continuing and the seasonal changes. The whole solar stem is not only gravitationally connected, but also energetically connected in an electromagnetic way. One form of that energy we call Light, but that is only the visible portion of the radiated spectrum. The sun calls the shots in terms of being the major influence over conditions in the rest of our solar system. We on earth, as well as everything else in our system of planets, are exposed to a charged field called solar wind, emitted from the sun. No one really knows how the complete system works. Scientists are yet to resolve the pathway opened by Einstein: physicists are still puzzling over the link between gravity and magnetism in order to reach the Theory of Everything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

Astronomy and physics tell us a lot about our natural and unseen worlds, so their research is very useful in contributing to the findings of other investigators who observe the impacts upon people, society, culture and planet earth. All of these aspects are quite specialised areas of enquiry and all are contained within the assessments made by astrologers who study past, present and future cycles in order to make sense of the experiences we have day to day, on our passage through time, living on a turbulent planent.
