Quake Swarm in New Zealand at November Supermoon

Significant seismic unrest has returned to New Zealand on November 14 2016, coinciding with the closest lunar transit of Earth in 2016 -the November 14 Supermoon [Full Moon in Scorpio-Taurus]

the energy of the building full moon - this was when the first quakes emerged at 2 minutes after midnight

• This lunar event at 22 degrees [exact sun-moon opposition in NZ on Nov 15] was under the strain of transiting Uranus at 21 Aries.
• Uranus is exact in its interaction with the sun on Nov 14. This planetary force is commonly associated with out of the blue events - earthquakes, accidents, sudden eruptions of energy - which can emerge in the form of natural forces in the environment or associated with forces expressed through biological species such as humans, animals.

[update Nov 21: apart from the multitude of cracks in the NZ landscape and structures due to the extended quake swarm, significant accident energy far from the quake zone has occurred in NZ in addition to significant quake energy. Tree crashing onto cars, child killed on play equipment, major impact accidents in Dubai and the derailment of a train near Kanpur India with large numbers of fatalities and injuries, on Nov 20 ]

•  Scorpio-Taurus energies involve not only the physical human body and the Earth's physical forms but also their transformation ....
• The potential for negative outcomes or at least major change is increased greatly when a planet capable of triggering the solar-lunar axis is mathematically in range of the positions of the sun and moon.
• The Moon - the commonest timing trigger has dominant influence at the top, aligned with the meridian axis
• multiple factors at 1-3-5-7 degrees synergise
• Neptune is exact on the lunar nodal axis at 9 degrees and 9 degrees [Virgo] was the preceding solar eclipse point in September. Water  = sea - was effected but Neptune's location away from the main chart axes is likely to have lessened the scope for a tsunami event
• highly destructive and large scale plutonic forces enter the picture with the combination of Pluto and Jupiter meeting at 14 degrees -a position which also triggers the full Cancer-Capricorn-Aries-Libra group of planets [Uranus-Jupiter-Pluto] plus the horizontal axis ranging from 7-21 degrees = 14 midpoint.
• Being in close proximity to a strong solar-lunar event and with Neptune so closely aligned with the lunar nodal axis, WATER must be considered as an ongoing threat potential in the ensuing days after the seismic swarm began to unfold [already water sources on land from dams to swimming pools have collapsed] but the known threat still relates to a landslide event along the steep coastal environment around Kaikoura generating a tsunami
• [update Nov 17 2016 - WATER threats have included flooding and torrential rain in various parts of NZ in recent days including the zones of seismic unrest but in respect of quake related issues, landslip debris has created river dams that are collecting water and at risk of sudden breaches]

See this extended animation of quake locations

and a small sample -some of Nov 15 quakes in the triangle from Hamner Springs to Kaikoura - mainly on land, a few on the seabed. The animation shows an effect like being scatter-bombed from beneath. [a perfect representation of the prevailing Pluto-Uranus-Jupiter synergy]

Occurring in North Canterbury just past midnight as the date November 14 ticked over, 2 earthquakes appear to have occurred so close in time in separate locations, tricking the computers into recording an amalgamated M7.5 trigger event, with over 50 aftershocks within the subsequent 11 hours.

The epicentre is sitting astride the major crustal plates of the Pacific-Australia region and is therefore at ongoing risk for some time

Canterbury became high risk after major seismic events of 2010-2012 in particular - with the people and city of Christchurch severely impacted. Now the energy has moved North as anticipated...

This is what a M8.2 looked like January 1855 Wairarapa lower North Island, New Zealand

• The horizontal axis at 12 degrees is dominated by Neptune [water indicator]
• The Moon [timing trigger] at 12 degrees linked to Uranus [earthquake indicator] and Venus [another timing factor - in support of the Moon]
• Multiple factors hovering in a tight range provides a chain reaction of forces
• In addition the chain reaction is amplified by a locomotive effect of Sun-Mercury-Jupiter synergising energies
• Uranus was stationary direct -allowing full potency to its eruptive effects
• critical degrees between 12-14 responded to the trigger eclipse of November 1854

This is a Death Chart - astrological indicators of a violent event

This is a Death Chart - astrological indicators of a violent event

Planetary positions at Universal Time 04.15 on 25 October 2016.
One high profile event [details withheld out of respect for the tragedy] is known to have occurred on this day at the indicated time, involving multiple fatalities.
An energy is earthed at a particular place and time
due to a synergy of the locational, prevailing and individual/personal energies being in resonance.
What is found commonly with events of significant impact is that planetary positions are very clearly potentized at the time of the event.

• An astrological chart has two power axes - the vertical axis labelled MC-IC and the horizontal axis labelled AC-DC. 
• One or both of theses axes are commonly found to be strongly activated - more accurately the planetary factors especially in close conjunction to either axis - are strengthened, made more significant -when high profile events occur.
• Depending of the signatures of the planets involved -this can work positively or negatively in terms of outcomes.

• This chart has Saturn and Venus in the most powerful position of all possible points around the chart circle -the most elevated point in the circle.
• Saturn is a bond, Venus is a relationship
• Next look to the left of the horizontal axis: 
• Neptune in Pisces and the South Lunar node in Pisces are in close range of the ascendant energies in Pisces
• Pisces is water
• Saturn and Venus are the apex of energies radiating left and right -as shown by the red lines. The north and South lunar nodes are shown completing the triangle by their exact opposition. Multiple stress energies generated by this arrangement.

water surrounds an event involving loss of relationship, separation, confusion, anxiety, grief 

• A tightly grouped collection of energies -all within the range 8-13 degrees intensifies the conflicting forces

• The Sun and Mercury closely connected in early Scorpio  [0-2 degrees] link to the suspected trigger -the Moon at 0 degrees. 
• Scorpio and the 8th house where they were positioned at the event time concern issues of transformation and death.
• The Moon not only activated the Scorpio forces but also the Mercury energy of transport  - death in motion
• The Moon also triggered the 15 degree position of Pluto [Scorpio's representative planet] [sesquiquadrate angle]

Pluto forces are commonly present in violent events.
Here Pluto sits in range of Mars [15 & 19 degrees].

• Mars then responds to the sudden violent force coming from Uranus in Aries [22 degrees] 
• Uranus is the usual suspect in accidents and it is part of the picture here but most significantly is the role of karmic interpersonal dynamics - signified by the outright prominence of Saturn-Venus at the time of the event and the very karmically* relevant lunar nodes sitting so noticeably across the horizontal axis -the energy point that is all about Self and Other -close relationships and relationship with the Self -and how forces related to past and future lives all came to fruition in a very sudden life-changing event.

No single cause is evident in disastrous events. There is always a trigger [usually the Moon, being the fastest moving factor] then like a series of co-ordinated explosions, the energies merge in a domino effect, cascading into chaotic outcomes.

Cyberwar and the transition to Jupiter-Saturn in Air

CYBER WAR

The historic transition of the Jupiter-Saturn cycle from the earth element into the element of air has significant implications not only for the human response to the physical world, the material object, but also regarding the increasing role and dominance of the extra-terrestrial domains - the sky, outer space - and the forms of energy employed in those domains - especially any in wave-form rather than as a physical vehicle.

Consistent with this transition is the increasing presence of not only geosynchronous satellites [GEO] but now also Middle and Low earth orbits [MEO and LEO ] orbiting Earth in recent decades....

This satellite web encompassing Earth has no precedent and with the evidence of exponential growth recorded by the satellite industry due to a global dependency on this system for infrastructure support, we are definitely in bold uncharted territory given that Space is a hostile and unpredictable environment, under the local control of our massive sun-star  and vulnerable to all manner of fly-by attacks from wandering rocks.
The human capacity to subvert attack, destroy all manner of systems will increasingly become engaged in the detection and manipulation of vulnerabilities in all communications systems due to the potential of cyberwar to effect massive consequences.
The threat from Superpowers attacking each other's satellites is increasingly real ;
"...in the 1980s the Soviet Union developed parts of its Naryad antisatellite (ASAT) system to place "kill vehicles" in orbit that could attack GEO satellites..."

SIA graphic from 2002

SIA graphic in their 2014 pdf

All communications systems

 correspond to the element of Air

In 2016 the world is in the transition period, approaching the full-blown dominance of Air based energies/technologies.

The antecedent and unfolding situation is as follows:

• The elemental transition from earth to air dominance in technologies in the Jupiter-Saturn cycle has been preceded by repeated conjunctions in the earth element from 1842 until the end of 1980. 
• From 1981 to May 28, 2000 there was a sequence of Air conjunctions. 
• From May 28, 2000 to Dec 21, 2020 is the last gasp in Earth element dominance [focus on material objects & grossly physical technologies] for hundreds of years.

Due to adverse social-economic-political conditions hallmarked by aggressive and destructive human forces, this transition into Air technologies will see a global increase in cyber attacks affecting all communications systems from individual household and personal technologies to local, national and global networks affecting potentially the full range of infrastructure that has become dependent on this operational system.

Uranus aggravates Full Moon

October 2016 Full Moon -Sun in Libra, Moon in Aries -with Uranus opposite the Sun and Conjunct the Moon

News reports consistent with expected aggravations from Uranus in tight aspect to the October 2016 Full Moon:
Multiple events with the same signature in a short time frame of the day before full moon to 1-2 days after the 16th.
Many of the events resulted in at least one fatality

• destructive combustion events

Explosion Explosion Explosion Explosion

Violent aggression with weapons -stabbing stabbing stabbing stabbing shooting

• transport crashes/accidents

crash work accident boat capsize plane crash plane crash bus crash several vehicle crashes bus crash


These 3 categories are commonly observed with this combination of planet-sign energy......
Though fatalities are common, singular and multiple as seen in reports cited, the range of effects from the prevailing aggravating forces also include injury without death - and more widespread but of lesser severity in consequences, interpersonal dynamics that are heated, argumentative, aggressive, passionate.

Astrology of Life through Stages of Growth

The sequence of human development from conception through to subsequent life stages is clearly sequenced through astrological markers.

In addition certain signs and planets carry “young” or youthful” energy; others have qualities of age, wisdom or maturity. Young energy means a person is able to express youthful qualities throughout the life. Those born with signs that express in more serious or mature ways can seem old when young.

The most significant indicator of delayed growth or delayed development – whether physical, emotional or intellectual – is the planet Saturn, positioned or connected to other chart energies.

The Young Signs

These signs when strongly expressed in a person, retain throughout life the young qualities evident in childhood:

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces, Aquarius

• Aries, Leo and Sagittarius –the 3 vibrant, high-energy Fire signs –fresh, demanding, open, free-spirited. 
• Aries is the energy of first experience of the world outside the womb. Perspective is very Me based, focus on the Self, I Want, can be selfish
• Leo is the young heart in search of love, full of creative power and wanting to be the centre of their domain: look at me, applaud me, flatter me, watch me create
• Sagittarius is the freedom seeker, exploring, roaming, wandering, ignoring tiresome tasks, dull jobs in favour of life as an adventure

Gemini and Pisces – Air [mind] and Water [feelings] – flexible, changeable energies

• Gemini, the energy of first exposure to language, is the information collector, the book-lover, the writer, the nerdy kid, the perpetual student
• Pisces, more of a spirit being - so is not fully formed as energetically human, and has to operate in multiple dimensions while in the everyday world. Too soft and sensitive for most of what life delivers, naïve, too trusting, has to escape regularly through one or more coping mechanisms.

Aquarius – mind energy here is fixed and stubborn – the determined rebel, eccentric and unconventional thinker, also very driven by freedom of self expression and fairness, equality. More comfortable with friendships and group activities than going it alone, but also staunchly individualistic 

A strong emphasis on young energy will be evident if :

• one of the young signs was rising at dawn –the ascendant sign – when a person is born
• if the Sun is in one of these signs and especially if in the first house of the chart
• if a person has several of these signs in the personal planets [Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars]

This emphasis only remains strong if the zodiac sign is not modified by other energy/energies in close contact with the planet that bears the sign

 e.g. Saturn conjunct Sun in Sagittarius will express as restricted freedom

The Old signs

Capricorn, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio

Capricorn tops the rankings for seriousness, restraint, self discipline

Cancer is also capable of showing maturity in younger stages of life

Virgo is much more disposed to a strong work ethic than other signs

Scorpio has such a strong capacity to read people and to assess power dynamics, that even when young can understand the payoffs achieved by control and manipulation

An astrological sequence of life Development

Astrological writer A T Mann discovered a circular logarithmic scale created by Rodney Collin 

[1954 work The Theory of Celestial Influence] and applied this to astrology in a unique and fascinating way in The Round Art published in 1979

Mann's scale applied to an archetypal chart -source

When applied astrologically the scale begins at conception [beginning cusp of 9^th house] and then covers the period of gestation:

CONCEPTION [Sagittarius] follows from the death state [Scorpio] and is highly consistent with the philosophies that incorporate rebirth of an energy imprint into a new life in a variable time frame after death. 

GESTATION [9^th,10^th, 11^th, 12 houses with the archetypal sign energies of Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces] 

Planets in these 4 houses of Gestation show the mother’s experiences during pregnancy as well as the fetus’ impressions felt through the mother . 

Once born, these impressions linger through the life, and are re-enacted with matching responses. 

•  In the Scorpio death state between physical life and rebirth, perceptions are intensified 
• The Sagittarius period after conception equates to the time when the fertilised egg must travel the equivalent of long distance over days, through the fallopian tube and into the uterus. Rapid cell division has already occurred soon after conception and this multiplication process is reflective of Sagittarian/Jupiter induced expansion. The germinal-embryonic stage is the shortest but it is when the template of a complex and diverse life form is quickly established and expanded from an original fertilised egg.
• The MC –midheaven - zodiac sign and any planetary interactions with the MC position - is an indicator of Ego expression in the outer world –whether achievement in publicly significant ways is strong, easy, difficult, restrained, or disinterested. 
• The 10th house/Capricorn stage equates very clearly with the process of bones arising in replacement of cartilage, then limbs, hands feet develop and teeth are in early formation 
• The 11^th house/Aquarius stage equates to the establishment of a fully functioning nervous system
• The 12^th house/Pisces stage equates to a state of near constant sleep – the necessary structures and functioning are in place for consciousness, but the brain must further develop in the sedated [through natural mother-baby hormones and chemistry] and sleep state.
• BIRTH The birth moment [Ascendant] directly influences the personality projected in the world
• Then development through the life matches archetypal astrological phases beginning at Aries [the duration of each period varies in length from individual to individual]

According to Mann the following time scale applies for development after birth

• Birth to 7 months = developing physical awareness of a separate self [Aries/first house phase ]
• 7months-20months = sensory exploration & development [Taurus/2^nd house ]
• 20 months-3years 6 months =  language and speech [Gemini/3^rd house ]
• 3years 6 months-7 years = parental and family connections, emotional development [Cancer/4^th house ]
• 7years-13years = co-operative and creative play, me ego consciousness, role-playing extended, friendships important for relating skills. Early experiences of love. [Leo/5th house]

• 13years-23years = the discriminating mind develops strongly, making choices, identifying differences and categories. Bodily awareness returns –appearance, functions, changes, self criticism.  Concept of work as a societal function. Career planning.[Virgo/6^th house ]

• 23years-42years = confrontation of the personality with the personality of others in the context of partnerships, marriage. Learning compromise and the necessity for We/Our consciousness instead of only Me/My. Finding balance through interaction with another. Experiencing the profound karmic nature of close relationships. [Libra/7^th house ]
• 42years till end of life = increasing detachment from physical/material reality is ideal as a pathway to relinquishing the body at death. Confronting the deaths of others, accepting mortality, opening to metaphysical reality – the existence beyond physical form. Sexual experiences as trauma/healing. Experiences of self transformation through deep insight elevating the consciousness.[Scorpio/8^thhouse ]

Transcendent* Level – this is a level of consciousness attainable through personal growth over a lifetime. Indicators are evident in the same zone as the Gestation houses -dependent upon the planets situated in this sector  -the 9^th-10^th-11^th-12^th houses being triggered by natally positioned planets as well as planets in transit making strong close angles to them.

There is a simultaneity involved here because the transcendent* consciousness in the womb and the experiences of the mother recorded by the fetus are mutually inseparable.  Mother-baby karma is inescapable. Whatever pronounced emotion she feels during her pregnancy with you –pain, joy, shock, anger, love, fear, desire… becomes a part of you, activated repeatedly in your life, enacted with any suitable stand-in, when the exact timing resonates.

The logarithmic scale gives timing -through age activations - so a gestation experience impacting on the Sun at 25 degrees in the 10^th house at 10 weeks of gestation can be simultaneously triggered as well as later triggered by a Neptune at 25 degrees in the 5^th experience at 10 years 5 months, then again by the North lunar node-Chiron 25 degree midpoint at 62 years 6 months. All of these equivalent sensitive points are bound together in collective expression, none are isolated or separate, all at once they fire in a significant impacting, consciousness changing event with multiple resonances over a lifetime –and even beyond –anytime that 25 degrees is pressured .

Transcendent* consciousness related to triggered experiences is likely to involve and evolve as a result of often demanding or difficult transits of Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus or Neptune.

Eclipse degrees should be especially noted during any given year to see if there is an exact degree match for any cluster of planets [ e.g. if birth chart has multiple positions held in the range 23-27 degrees then a 25 degree eclipse will activate all simultaneously] 

Especially important if at least one is in the gestation sector because deep personal history/elevated awareness is triggered.

The triggers are identified further by tracking all major aspect lines beyond the conjunctions –including semisquares, quincunx, sesquiquadrates – and seeing when a planet in transit makes an exact hit on that initial degree. 

This of course applies to all planet positions not just those natally positioned in the gestation sector.

From an astrological perspective, the analysis of life events can be greatly enhanced by considering natal planets in the Gestation zone and where/when they are activated at later life stages.

*The definition of Transcendent as proposed by Mann is described as accessing Universal or Collective Consciousness, a state of realization, the awareness of the soul. 

These concepts can be highly variable in meaning to different people and hard if not impossible for some to grasp but the essential meaning is awareness beyond the everyday level of consciousness.

To paraphrase Mann: the gestation experiences serve as "prototypes' for the transcendent capacity - so experiences in the womb have a direct bearing, an "equivalence of meaning' in respect of the expanded level of consciousness he calls transcendent, which may occur in later life.

September 2016 Full Moon Eclipse

    further eclipse info at timeanddate.com

1. A week of tense, nit-picky, hair-splitting, impatient activity precedes the Sept 16/17 full moon lunar eclipse.

2.The eclipse itself is no less complicated - with high-energy activations amplifying eclipse potentials beyond the focal polarity of the Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon. These signs when strongly emphasised are often implicated in extreme weather events. The added forces tagging along also place strain on the earth's crust = more potential for seismic activity in vulnerable locations.

3. This eclipse perpetuates the purification aggression theme identified as being a persistent theme in recent months....
All people intent on promoting separatist beliefs and claiming greater purity than others [human or any species] are aggravated further by this eclipse to feel an entitlement to eliminate those they see as inferior, impure or pest species or people – and so an aggressive drive is activated to kill or attack physically or symbolically –with weapons or words, those believed to pose an impurity threat.

This manifests clearly in fundamentalist faith-based acts of murderous aggression but the compulsion is not limited to the most high profile sectors in this era. Inter-racial discord is another manifestation as well as faith vs faith, men vs women, humans vs animals – any sector where belief inspires a hatred of another category of life form.

In one-to-one conflicts, this theme of superior purity of ideas is easily channelled into   

a tendency to be too direct, too blunt, be too assertive or aggressive in pursuing an idealistic or overly correct/purist personal agenda, a risk of appearing too selfish, impatient – but of course there are consequences – being too driven by your own agenda could result in the other person being emotionally wounded and suffer significant loss of self esteem.
Purification aggression is clearly not limited to human interactions: our species is populated by many with a domination gene, a mindset of totally superiority over all beings. The desire to eradicate certain biological species or variants and create a perfect natural ecology is also part of this disease of imbalanced perspective. The domestic cat species is on the eradication list globally, especially feral variants on account of the purification agenda. The sense of human entitlement to order natural balances is a deeply flawed position.

People affected strongly by this eclipse will have planets positioned in the range 22-25 degrees –especially if in water or fire signs

Eclipses have wide ranging periods of influence - can be triggered in advance -[eg August 2016 for this eclipse] and during at least 6 months ahead by activating planets.

updates

Sept 15

Typhoon Meranti, so far the strongest storm of 2016 on the China coastline and with impressively low air pressure -890 millibars

Questions continue to arise in NZ about an apparent racial bias both in charging and sentencing criminal offenders. This echoes claims by other indigenous cultures in Western democracies -the US, Australia, Canada - who say they experience the harder hand of justice compared to whites, especially when privileged white males seem so often to escape significant penalties for serious offending.

This issue is highlighted in current times as a purification issue

update Sept 16 -eclipse day was marked in Pakistan by a suicide bomber
updates Sept 17 - a bomb blast in Manhattan, New York injures many, but labelled unspecified terrorism
A separate blast in New Jersey was eventually linked to the Manhattan bomb and a suspect arrested
IS claims a soldier of their faith committed multiple stabbings in a Minnesota mall
update Sept 19 - a humanitarian convoy in Aleppo Syria is bombed, destroying 32 vehicles and with multiple deaths and injuries
updates Sept 30 recent events show activation of eclipse potentials. The extreme storm hitting eastern Australia beginning Sept 28 featured twin tornadoes in an"unprecedented event" resulting in damage and widespread power outages. People used "end of world" and "apocalyptic" references regarding the forces of nature -severe winds, torrential rain, sea surges and no electricity.
New York train crash with multiple injuries see note 4 for analysis 
A significant geomagnetic disturbance affecting earth since Sept 27 is a relevant triggering device for extreme events/behaviour

update Oct 1
big quakes in Pacific Ring of Fire show triggering effect of the geomagnetic disturbance:

and Matthew Cat 5  Caribbean Atlantic hurricane

Notes re analysis

1. [Sun conjuncted by Mercury both squared by Mars trined by Uranus] 

2. The eclipse itself is no less complicated - with high energy activations

[from Mars and Uranus] applying to the Sun-Moon-Chiron mix.

3. Most of the energy is mutable – meaning all energy expressions related to Virgo-Pisces and Sagittarius-Gemini are made prominent.

The mutables are, on one level, Mind signs –Virgo is the picky, analytical, critical, upholder of the faith of purity – but taken too far = purification-aggression - identified as a persistent theme in recent months

Pisces is the most tolerant, inclusive, compassionate mental perspective but is prone to blind faith

Sagittarius is the philosophical and belief-focussed mind – Mars in Sagittarius further energised by impatient, aggressive Uranus in Aries creates a force at odds with Pisces and Virgo – producing more negative outcomes

Gemini becomes activated automatically through being part of the dominant energy pattern of the eclipse

4. A reminder that all forms of transport -road, sea, air, rail are vulnerable under a mutable energy eclipse of potent moon event - mutable events feature any of the signs of that group - Pisces-Virgo-Gemini-Sagittarius  due to all having a correspondence to the flow or movement of forces. Our transport systems are simply an outer world re-creation of the flows of the four elements in the body
