GEMINI New Moon - May 2014

May 2014 ends with a New Moon in Gemini -but Neptune has a big influence over the time-frame of this lunar effect from May 25-June 25.

GEMINI accentuates and brings into common awareness the following:

• all forms of messaging and communications from, the hand-written note to the phone or digital message
• oral communications, anything spoken
• all books, texts, documents, language produced in print
• language, signs, symbolic text in any format
• personal travel on foot, by bike, scooter, segway
• collective travel in buses, trains

Since the range is extensive,the above covers the majority of contexts.
Gemini is of course Twin Energy [see profile of the Topp Twins] or even dopplegangers - people who look alike but are in heredity terms unrelated [but not in energy profile]
A Gemini Moon was in effect when the Twin Towers were struck.

With the May 2014 New Moon
Neptune is powerfully influential -since its position at 7'30 Pisces  is at exact right angle to the Sun-Moon paired at 7'20 Gemini

Neptune's influence causes the following energies to arise

• trickery, deception, fraud, scams, confusion, fogginess of mind, forgetfullness, escapism, distraction dreaminess, meditation state, sleep
• Water is the natural element related to Neptune
• maritime environments & associated vessels
• compassion & spiritual wisdom are very positive options
• all film, video, TV, movie and photographic media
• addictive states of mind;  chemical substances, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes

Again, this is a representative but far from absolute depiction of the Neptunian associations.


Under the Neptune-New Moon influence the Gemini-Neptune combinations arise:
More people in the daytime will be like people asleep -unfocussed, distracted -and dangerous
Typical scenarios include:

• inattention due to using a phone or texting while driving
• walking into traffic while distracted by a comms device
• being deceived, scammed, defrauded by means of a document received
• receiving a confusing message
• mistakes made in recording information
• transport operators, their vehicles or vessels affected by fog, water, confusion, drugs, alcohol
• getting lost while driving or on foot 
• a preference for escapist or fantasy reading, movies or TV
• more interest in meditation, emptying the mind
• easier to lie, fabricate, trick, deceive people
• creative imagination is enhanced
• general sensitivity increased, allergic reactions aroused
• easily conned, feeling sympathy, compassion, too trusting
• mind-altering substances have strong appeal

So there are various warnings and advisaries that can be gleaned from this tricky and risky combination.

Documents you sign, data you input may need to be checked more than once to avoid locking in errors.

[I had to edit the section on the vote in Parliament after seeing the key aspect was reversed]

The other related effect via a linkage between Uranus-Pluto-Mercury-Venus involves:

•  the potential for people with extremely selfish motivations to abuse their power and take advantage of the more vulnerable.

Neptunian energy makes people more vulnerable, child-like, idealistic and therefore ready to believe sob stories, scams, excuses

As a result people's physical well-being and material security are at some risk due to either one's own errors of judgement or the actions of others in this monthly period

addendum:

Already in the NZ political news:

May 28 evening sitting of Parliament saw votes from the Maori Party incorrectly cast as Against a Bill rather than For

AUGUST 2013 astro-analysis = High-Risk Period

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
Astro-analysis of the energetic forces in effect for August 2013 points to powerful upheavals for many.
The month begins with elevated levels of atmospheric chaos and therefore severe weather conditions developing in diverse global locations –extending the themes highlighted in the July 2013 World Report

                                         scroll down for updates

 These conditions feed into the rising energies of the August 6 New Moon in Leo.

Historically August has shown quite potent globally relevant events and this corresponds energetically with the factors affecting the Sun being more important than in other months.
The solar system is viewed in this context as a holistic feedback system so the dynamics of the planets orbiting the Sun in August [and in fact the whole Leo period from July 22-August 22] are of particular interest in this report.
Leo emphasises matters of the heart both literally and romantically, love, love affairs, the energy of children, the creative drive, the desire to shine, to rule, to be entertaining, to show off.
In August the 14 degree New Moon is at odds with the 12 degree lunar nodes -Leo versus Scorpio-Taurus. Love versus sex, romance versus physical definitions of love. Take care of children under this pattern as there are some adverse influences

Moon events - new and full as well as eclipses - have a building phase noticed even up to three days prior to the exact position and have an extended period of energetic influence - typically until the next month's event - new or full moon - but with eclipses - lasting over the 6 months until the next solar or lunar eclipse.  

In addition, in August - ongoing themes involving Uranus-Pluto and Saturn-Neptune remain in effect as stated in July report:[ The ongoing background context of social, political & environmental turmoil [activated by Uranus square Pluto] provides a backdrop to the group of water signs [Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer] 

• generating strong emotional responses across significant numbers of the human population.

• this scenario suggests political/societal/environmental events which 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

  [-updates -July 2013 saw various natural [flood] and accidental events [train & transport] involving fatalities.

As August begins, The NZ capital city Wellington is further shaken by seismic activity - offshore, seafloor, 16 kms deep magnitude 4.9
 [update August 3 -US warns of Al Qaeda threat ] 
[update August 7 - a crisis erupted in NZ involving bacteria-tainted baby formula -report

update August 13 - an extended flooding crisis arose in the Sudan in the first week of August - pictures
[update August 14 -Sate of Emergency declared in Egypt with extensive violence related to political turmoil]

August 2013 however has more in store with Jupiter intensifying all the above high risk effects, and thereby serving as a tipping point for processes that have been building in tension over time.
Some consequences are likely to include sudden, rapidly changing developments, new circumstances requiring quick adjustment.

What is involved is a significant power surge which will manifest through certain people who resonate with the need to take decisive action or control.

The natural elements similarly are empowered with much greater force than usual.

[Mars and Jupiter are in parallel declination through August as well -adding extra fuel to an already very intense collection of energies affecting people and places in diverse locations]

For some: Loss of wealth. Loss of everything

• Material and financial losses with the likelihood of destructive and damaging ingredients relate both to environmental threats in vulnerable zones and societal-political arenas including sudden trading market and investment losses being more significant than usual.
• Social unrest and power struggles related to conflicts with authority, government forces
• All of the above conditions are likely to occur in situations where rebalancing is required – that may be an environmental location, an organization, a nation’s system of government, and so on right down to an individual’s personal use of power and resources. 

As in all changing states of energy, your degree of personal resonance with the energetic effects occurring determines whether you personally get the strongest or the least effects.
Being on the receiving end of a life changing shift in circumstances will not automatically reveal the reasons why such an event occurs so it is important to take time for deep self-reflection to mitigate against further repeats.

And August continues to deliver even more.

Full Moon is August 21 at 28 degrees Leo-Aquarius –extending the same themes as the July Full Moon [ love, love affairs, friendship, group activities – activation of issues and questions around these variations in relating]

In addition:

• The Uranus-Pluto social-political-environmental turmoil is intensified by Jupiter and this grouping, as well as Mars all feed back to the powerful full moon energies.
•  Typically events can occur in the building phase of the moon coming to complete exact opposition to the sun. [the earth is positioned sandwiched between the two so all three are in one straight alignment]

In August 2013 it is worthwhile looking at the 17^th to 18^th as an initial significant triggering period in the days before the Full Moon due to the Sun’s activation of Pluto; the Moon’s activation of Pluto then Jupiter, then Uranus; plus Jupiter and Uranus linked to the lunar nodes.

update August 4 :   Rebellious, anarchic people are more likely to be triggered during the Full Moon period -feeling more aggrieved, angry, emotionally extreme - this could link in to the Al Qaeda risk scenario just notified by US authorities, covering the month of August]
[update August 18 -Gay couples can now marry in New Zealand - and this timing expresses the Aquarian unconventional nature of the Full Moon]

• The strength of these influences related to the August Full Moon extends primarily from 17^th-24^th, though, as is standard, potentials remain during the full extent of the lunar month.

The background indicators during April to August could be interpreted as laying the precursor conditions for significant seismic unrest as well as major weather events.

• The trio of eclipses from late April-late May represent 3 events capable of multiple effects over a six month period - to October and November 2013
• Moon’s perigee positions [Supermoons] adding gravitational strain in May, June and July
• Jupiter in Cancer adding atmospheric pressure
• The Jupiter-Pluto a surge of powerful energy
• The Jupiter-Uranus sudden release of tension 

In summary:
multiple factors look likely to have accumulated over time which place strain on geophysical structures and set in process the degree of powerful movement which accentuates strains.

Ultimately this situation must end in a significant release.

• This scenario can be equally applied in other situations – human made structures and systems failing; electronic system breakdown; human meltdown after sustained pressure

• Powerful storms and earthquakes are the sort of outcomes anticipated -but any involvement of the elements -expressed as wind, water, fire or earth events - can result in various scenarios

• [update Friday August 16 - M6.6 quake in the Marlborough region of New Zealand sets off a string of strong aftershocks -news report. These events - [ Geonet quickly reports 60 aftershocks since the M6.6 quake around 2.30pm, with 6 being M 5 or greater] -  are highly relevant to the forecast in this report - written months previously - and stands in contrast to the official seismology forecast of an extremely low likelihood of a significant quake in this time frame news report
• update August 25 -the mammoth Yosemite wildfire threatens San Francisco water supply

If the factors around the August Full Moon coincide with any significant turbulence in earth’s geomagnetic field as a result of powerful solar flares, high speed solar wind, or the effects of coronal mass ejections – to name some possibilities in the realm of space weather then even further complexities and intensities are added into the situation.
[update -this did not occur to any significant extent - more evidence that the sun is in a phase of its magnetic cycle regarded as the quietest -i.e. weakest -in 100 years -report ]

Drama is the nature of our current condition and August is a strong candidate for the theatrics of life to unfold
As noted in the July report -the eclipse effects of May continue in July, August to pose much greater than usual risks involving all forms of transportation

updated advisory issued August 26
August 31-September 1st  there is an emphasis on extreme forces due to the opposition  midpoint of Jupiter to Pluto being at right angles to the position of Uranus.

Violent, coercive, dangerous, destructive energies can manifest as aggressive, homicidal acts as well as natural elements with annihilating force.

Under this influence there is heightened likelihood of terrorist and militaristic activity as well as criminal aggression involving the misuse of power. 
Natural elements are likely to reveal extreme weather events in various global locations as well as enhanced structural strain resulting in seismic events in vulnerable zones.

[update Aug 31] - August 31 2013

Right on target - Canterbury, New Zealand has largest quake in recent weeks as anticipated in earlier forecast made in my August 2013 report.  Today's M4.3 in the Greendale fault region which started off the chain in Sept 2010

from Quakelive

Addendum:
Christchurch, New Zealand entered a period of enhanced seismic activity in September 2010.
At this time Jupiter and Uranus began a paired cycle, exact at 28'43 Pisces on September 19, they were just slightly off exactitude when the M7.1 quake occurred on the 4th.
Cycles are the bread and butter basis of orbital life in the solar system and their study reveals much of significance
The beginning of a cycle establishes a pattern. Other significant stages in the cycle include the initially paired planets reaching positions at 90 and 180 degrees to each other.
In August 2013, the Sun on the 20th begins a pattern of strain with Jupiter and Uranus.
The Moon when almost at full on the 21st adds to the tension applied by the Sun.  Also on the 21st, NZ time Jupiter at 12 Cancer is exactly 90 degrees square Uranus at 12 Aries.
This is the first significant marker point since September 2010 for this pair of planets.
Against the recent backdrop of a noticeable slowdown in seismicity in the Christchurch-Canterbury region, it remains to be seen whether that location will resonate again to the cycle of Jupiter-Uranus

updates
July 26 2013:
This early forecast posted June 17 has been vindicated by a swarm of earthquakes developing since July 19 in the Cook Strait, with Wellington City experiencing both superficial and structural damage following the largest [M6.5] seafloor quake and effects experienced in the relatively low populated area of Marlborough.

as seen on Geonet -the M6.5 was strong across New Zealand

More than 1500 aftershocks recorded July 19-26
The now named Seddon Sequences - on account of their geographical proximity to the small South Island settlement have predated an increase in seismic activity across central NZ including a separate M4.2 July 26 off Kapiti coast -widely felt in Wellington
July 26 news report

July 29
At 1.07 am a M5.4 in the Cook Strait, 12kms deep, 20kms east of Seddon,Marlborough sustains and extends the ongoing sequences in the immediate and surrounding regions

It would be extremely sensible to take precautionary measures wherever possible including planning, supplies and avoidance of risk zones during this high risk period -especially in the period of August highlighted in this report.
It seems likely that the seismic unrest in the Cook Strait has significantly more to deliver.
The tectonic plate convergence zone has a huge significance for New Zealand since our main islands straddle two forces in motion -the potent drivers of earthquakes in both island zones and volcanic activity in the North

update July 31 2013
The plate convergence zone shown above reflected in quakes - below -  over prior 3 months - though almost entirely being from July 2013

August 17 2013 update
Following the M6.6 earthquake near Lake Grassmere,  north-eastern Marlborough on August 16 at 2.31 pm, there were four events over M5 in quick succession within the following 80 minutes. 
Within 2 hours a M6 occurred, followed by further M5+ events in the following 90 minutes.
The quakes formed an epicentre between the townships of Seddon and Ward
Extensive damage in the local region though again more news focus was initially directed towards the capital city Wellington where lesser damage occurred.

This Herald video shows the 48 hrs of activity before the M6.6 on Friday 16th

update August 22 2013 -

NZ's volcanic White Island erupted in an impressive steam display for 10 minutes, mid-morning on August 20. The island is located east off the central North Island and in the central volcanic zone which extends into the south Pacific. This activity adds further to the ongoing seismic unrest that has spiked since July 2013  - news report

June 2013 Supermoon - astro-analysis

June 2013 has a New Moon at 18 degrees Gemini 

on the 8th, plus a Supermoon  on the 23rd

What's in store?

This is a very Gemini New Moon -with Sun, Moon, Mars, Jupiter all ranging from 5-26 degrees so all four planets synergise effects : lots of communicating by all means available -vocal, electronic, written, and lots of reading as well as a surge of energy for short distance travel -especially by car/train/bus and travel or exercise on foot or by bike. But some caution is needed.

NOTE: The period of influence for a New or Full Moon begins days before exact alignment and extends until the next new or full moon event in the following month. This is because the sensitive point [zodiac degree] activated by the solar-lunar effect remains capable of being further triggered by other planets reaching or in angular relationship to that zodiac degree. The Moon itself will do this many times in the lunar month, but even stronger triggers come from the planets from Mars outwards. In any given lunar month, there may be multiple activations of the potentials identified

The New Moon has Saturn in close enough range to bring destructive influences over transport and communications -failures, dysfunctions, meltdowns, accidents - and fatalities -all are more of a risk than usual to those most affected by personal elements at/near 18 Gemini and 5 Scorpio

 [ this grouping also affects 18 degrees in the related signs Pisces, Virgo and Sagittarius and 5 degrees Leo, Aquarius, Taurus]

The nasty side of some people will be expressed through communications and/or vehicles so steer clear of those capable of road rage and poisonous messages

The long-term global upheavals related to power imbalances, power abuse, misuse of power, whether in political or personal contexts, continues to be in effect. This highlights many people in high positions who are falling from grace as well as humans mistreating the defenceless, the suffering of women and children, those bullied, tormented, enslaved, physically harmed - the time has come for the oppressed to find some justice during the extended period of this process - emphasised strongly 2012-2016 due to Pluto square Uranus
[update June 17: Charles Saatchi vilified for altercation with wife Nigella Lawson. His reported and acknowledged behaviour is classic power abuse stuff and reflects the 'nasty side' expressed in communications anticipated in this forecast ] -report



There are several strongly connected pairings/groupings in this New Moon lineup:

• Pluto in exact opposition to Mercury in the Cancer-Capricorn polarity puts emphasis on homes, domestic and family issues versus working/professional life.
• This pairing then connects to Jupiter in Gemini - overall a combination with likelihood of mass evacuations from homes in areas under threat from environmental/weather events
•  [update June 10 -thousands forced to leave homes after dam bursts on swollen river Elbe, West Germany. At 7.44 metres, the river is nearly 4 times normal levels report]
• [update June 9 Central European flood emergency which began in the context of the late May lunar eclipse -   now extends into Hungary with the Danube River at record levels.  China also hit by extreme rain and flooding. Western US hit by extreme heat
• Huff Post extreme weather headlines

The environment remains volatile with the same rebalancing theme involving Pluto-Uranus

Places most vulnerable to extreme weather effects are likely to see more through June 2013

In addition Mars is at odds with Neptune [90 degree square at New Moon ] which will aggravate flooding and deluge issues in vulnerable zones.

In summary:
there is much scope for extended extreme weather effects through June 2013 -intensified by the Supermoon effects detailed below.
 [update June 17: the early posted July and August reports show clear intensifying indicators]


The Supermoon full moon on the 23rd at 2 Capricorn is is very close proximity to Jupiter

This coincides with the Solstice point and is therefore a seasonal marker, when the sun's position relative to the earth is most direct - this corresponds not only to the light factor [ N hemisphere is in summer mode vs southern in winter] but also to the direct transmission of solar generated particles and high frequency electromagnetic radiation.
Solstice and equinox periods tend to have greater atmospheric and weather turbulence than average so with the added factor of a Supermoon at this June solstice - where the moon is not only aligned with the sun exactly, but being 356,989 kms away at that point, it is the closest orbit moon to earth for 2013 - this amplifies normal solar-lunar gravitational effects and may be seen to associate with wilder weather, more seismicity derived from added strains, pressures, forces and chaotic elements in the global weather system

Jupiter's role being very close to the sun and opposite the Moon at the Solstice

provides even greater intensification of environmental energetic effects i.e. the capacity for weather to go extreme in vulnerable places. [in fact on June 19 Jupiter is in total eclipse, being positioned behind the Sun. Most important is the direct alignment at 28 Gemini of these big solar system players]

In addition: the Lunar Nodes at 16 Scorpio

Are in strong connection to the full moon and related effects

Scorpio is the energy of endings, transformations and literal death and so the fatal risk level is elevated in the lunar month from June 21.

With the Supermoon in the signs Cancer-Capricorn 

all things connected to homes, families and parenting are in the spotlight. 

Destructive affects are anticipated - for some only impacting the physical structural house itself, but overall having life-changing affects on families.

Peoples work-life balance is under scrutiny too and some will find their priorities radically flipped.

At the very least many are subject to significant changes, endings, losses.

[update June 19 2013 - New Zealand warned of fierce weather on the way  "born from an unusual and powerful mix of weather systems" "The storm will be a product of forces from Antarctica, the Southern Ocean and the north and south Tasman Sea."]
Landslips cause evacuations, more flooding, largest snowfall in decades -in NZ's south - report]
[update June 20 - solar activity is increasing in concert with other solar system factors described above around this full moon. The flare level has risen and a large coronal hole

has the potential to impact earth, bringing more atmospheric turbulence [ = severe weather]  in coming days - particularly if the charged solar wind emitted is in negative polarity when it reaches earth's geomagnetic field]
['update June 12 -Mass evacuations in Canada, from flooding around Calgary; mass deaths in India from floods and landslips; New Zealand has several landslips, storm damage, landslips from violent storm over past days]

All of us in this era need a risk assessment for our personal environment - a what-if contingency plan

The time is over for head-in-the-sand avoidance. 

Wind, water, heat, drought, blizzard, land subsidence, seismicity, volcanism - take your pick as to what factors are highest likelihood in your patch of the planet and understand that the environmental risk situation is not dissolving anytime soon.
Do not expect governments to take a pro-active response.
Responsibility lies with you for personal and family safety so be prepared to relocate even temporarily if you feel that an environmental crisis situation is developing in your area.

This brief report is written in a style to enable a general readership
 with little or no astrological knowledge to gain an insight into the energetic basis
 of advanced astrological analysis,

as well as for those who understand the more technical aspects.

The solar system is viewed as a holistic integrated system

with clear consequences of this experienced on earth.

Being embedded in an indescribably vast and complex array of magnetic fields means constant exposure here on earth, to a range of energy frequencies much like a radio receiver receives stations and television is tuned to channels.The earth and all in existence here are exposed not only to light but also to the effects of high frequency cosmic electromagnetic radiation intermingling with our planet's magnetic field.
The effects generated by the sun, moon and planets are understood in this context to derive from their generation of individual & specific radiation frequencies which bear signature effects and which have been observed to reveal identifiable effects consistently since the time of recorded celestial observations by humans
