EARTH CHANGES BULLETIN Weekly Update


A great many elements of the Anglo-American establishment are now clearly warning the American people that the Cheney/Bush Junta is out-of-control and is a clear and present danger to the world.  Russia's President Putin is now warning the entire world that the escalation of the military occupation in Iraq is a fatal mistake and that the Cheney/Bush Junta will end up destroying America if it endeavors to expand its demented war plans against Iran.  Inside Washington DC, intelligence "flies on the walls" of the corridors of war and peace are telling Seymour Hersh, one of leading journalists of this time whose expertise spans the entire cold war from Vietnam to Iraqnam, that THE WAR PLAN IS ALREADY SET.

The 911 Deception, an article by MW Mandeville, appears in the December-January copy of Nexus Magazine.

CRITICAL ALERTS

(July 9, 2007 ECB; MWM) 

 

THE COSMIC SCENE, starring superstars Venus, Saturn, & Jupiter.  YEP, BY POPULAR DEMAND, STILL PLAYING AT THE SKYVIEW DRIVE-IN off Horizon Blvd: Venus and Saturn are still relatively close to each other, both visible in the sunset sky in the gathering dusk.  Jupiter shines brightly on the eastern half of the sky.   Use the light as your guide, all three are brighter than almost all the other stars out there so by their brightness you can easily pick them out.  Make some special tea, ice it, and drink to this natural phenomenon as you tune into closer experience of the actual flow of cosmic events.

 

NEW CHART DEFINES "THE CHANGE IN THE EARTH". Click to see the threefold trend in world quake activity 4+ for 1973-2007. This increase in seismic energy is signaling all the other Changes In The Earth, including Global Warming.  Daily average frequency of 4+ quakes has risen from 11 in 1973 to about 35 in 2007.  The average rose dramatically during 2005/06 and is currently lower.  The daily average for 2007 will probably rise a little by the end of the year and may rise more slowly during the next few years.  Statistics are tricky master illusionists so be careful with this following thought:  an exponential growth curve can be drawn through earthquake data 4+ to project another DOUBLING of the current frequency by about 2020.

NEW BOOK BY AN ARIZONA AUTHOR:  I am reading "Secrets of the Mysterious Valley" by Christopher O'Obrien explores the world of "anomalies" and strange events/artifacts in the Pacific Southwest in the "San Juan Mountains" area (a long spur of the high Rocky Mountains) which are highly suggestive of alternative or should we say "broader" realities.   Check it out at Adventures Unlimited .

COSMIC FACTORS:  Sunspots were at 16 on July 8, bouncing between 12 and 24 last week while the Flux plateaued at around 71. In the meantime, no serious magnetic disturbances are in the solar wind and upper atmosphere this day but NASA predicts an influx of magnetic disturburbances, a 45% probability, during the next 24 hours.   NASA rarely uses such a high number.  The planetary scene is too complex to describe briefly but its influence on the Sun will be nil and thus Solar Activity in general should  remain about the same as it is now during the next two weeks.  What ever we are experiencing this July is primarily "Global Warming" and extra-dimensional, it has little to do with the Sun or its various cycles.  La Nina in the Pacific is weakening again, not growing, but not very fast. In fact the entire Eastern Pacific is cooler, leaving only a small patch west of the Yucatan area and another warm "track" adjacent to the Pacific Northwest.  Northern Chaos is still on track and these are the two tracks.  Here is is again as stated last week:  San Francisco to Seattle will host a wet summer provided by an Hawaian PIneapple Express, Alaska will dry up, Southern California will dry up and blow into the East, and the rest of the play will be managed by the Atlantic air mass movements.  Expect the Jet Stream to be highly variable, riding atypically to the south.  Many great floods in the Plains and Mountain states are possible.  Near hurricane strength winds possible in Northern Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona.  These may blow in the wet remnants of both Carib and Pacific tropical storm fronts.

AS ADVISED LAST TWO WEEKS:   At the same time the "North Atlantic Oscillation" is maintaining considerably higher than normal temperatures off Newfoundland, once again, and also in a broad sweep across the Atlantic into the Gulf and Carib Basins, with a strong mirror of warmer than normal water on the Pacific side of the Yucatan.  This may "funnel" this year's strong hurricane season into Mexico and Central America, and these storm fronts may over-ride the La Nina Pacific and feed large amounts of "reverse flow" moisture into Texas, New Mexico, and even Arizona.  So CONTINUE TO WATCH OUT FOR NORTHERN CHAOS  this Summer.  All in all, MORE THAN EVER, this looks like a year of somewhat fast-paced cosmic chaos, making all results very difficult to predict.  Already there are good indicators of vicious hurricanes soon to come this year and if sea surface temperature trends hold, the hurricanes and tropical storms likely will tend to strike the lower Caribbean and the Yucatan region of Central America more than the Gulf States and the Atlantic Seaboard.

BIOSPHERE:  Forest fires are a severe threat in some areas already and the threat is likely to grow for the drought zone area. If the monsoon does not appear in the Pacific Southwest, millions of acres in North America may burn this year.

GEOPHYSICAL FACTORS:  Polar Motion - the wobble spiral track continues to expand as it should.  Seismic activity 4+ is running about normal and nothing dramatic is apparent.    We are in Perigee (a small one) moving rapidly into a near extreme declination in the North near a New Moon Syzygy to arive about July 13.  All lunar cycles are out of phase, thus this coming New Moon is likely to be a lack-luster syzygy for earthquakes.  Volcanic activity is simmering about the same as last week with 28 volcanoes now on the active list.  Many minor ash emissions  continue but almost no lava extrusion.  Kilauea has resumed small lava flows but Etna is clearly asleep.  We have probably passed the high water mark for volcanism in 2007. 

 

SPIRITUAL FLUX  -   FIRE IS COMING IN THE GRID JULY 17 2007

Let's do it:  http://www.firethegrid.com/  In the meantime, the Warcast Media will work assiduously at shilling the expansion of militarism in the Middle East.  The Imperial Faction is not noticing that no one is paying any attention to their vain efforts...the flood of deceptions, denials, and rationalizations which continue to pour out are simply draining away into the sand of time. Truly, the incubus of imperial ambition is dissolving everywhere even in this moment of its highest elevation, even as it crows about its apparent dominion over the world, the world turns away.  

GEOPOLITICAL FLUX:   

There will be the attempt made later this year to incite bombing attacks on Iran.  This is clearly in the works and one can see more and more of the story lines being planted each week by the Warcast Media to huff up a growing psychological fear/hate bubble.  But the odds are, they will fail.  The harder they try now, the faster the negative reaction will form and neutralize their efforts. Meanwhile, celebrate Michael Moore's success in getting on CNN and spitting directly into the eye of Wolf "Warshill" Blitzer.  Celebrate as well the ability of Cindy Sheehan to propagate the "IMPEACH' message throughout the Warcast Media by the simple device of her threat to run against Nancy Pelosi.  Clearly all those still caught up in the "globalist" bubble illusions of the Imperial Faction are running extremely nervously these days. As well they should.  The old line establishment is peeling off the Zionazi coalition in larger and larger chunks every day.  This long hot summer will bring the beginning of the end of this horrible tragedy.
 

GEO-ECONOMIC FLUX: No change.....Eurasia up, Latin America  up, U.S./Mexico down. A long depression in the U.S. is slowly settling in and likely will bottom in 2008/2009.

 

CHECK OUT THIS INTERESTING GRAPH OF EARTH CYCLE CORRELATIONS:

This graph of earthquake activity in Eurasia is only one among dozens of graphs I am working on which detail how the Earth really works tectonically.  It demonstrates how deep you have to dig to get to the basics.  Only partially complete, this graph at the moment displays only 2.0-2.99 quakes on Eurasia, from Spain and Norway to most of Siberia and down into India and SE Asia to encompass the entire Mideast and Saharan Africa as well  Excluded is Japan and Eastern Siberia.   Many zones and some sizes of earthquakes do not show a correlation worth talking about with orbital factors, which keeps the entire topic somewhat confusing.  But in this graph of the regular daily small grinders, you can see a very close parallel with the average declination angle of the Moon's orbit (how far it goes in any given year to the north and south of the Equator) up until 2004.  Then the level of quake activity in this category falls off (it increases in the larger magnitudes).  Look at the BLACK LINE and the BLUE LINE and see how they parallel their trend.  Observe how the lowest total for average daily quakes corresponds dead on with the lowest lunar declination angle in 1987.  Observe as well that the Seven Year Wobble Cycle is clearly "reflected" in frequency of change in the up and down waveform of average daily quakes, but the "alignment" or "phasing" of the two activities is partially offset, leaving us to "guess" crudely at what is coming next.  Observe also that in the small quakes (this chart shows only 2.0 to 2.99 quakes) THERE IS NO TREND.  However, for quakes above 4.0, Eurasia shows a very strong trend of increase.  This chart I will show you very soon.

 

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:

A major collection of graphs, charts, and links to information and databases is nearing collection. It more or less represents my  collected "notes" and analysis of Earth Changes (including Global Warming and climate change phenomenon) for completion of a new verification of Edgar Cayce's Earth Change Prophecies and analysis of how the "shifting of the poles" is likely to take place.  This has taken enormously more time than I originally anticipated for the revision of the Trilogy (like over an extra year) because of the explosion of research data about the Earth which the Global Warming scare has "induced" through liberal funding.  These "notes" would take hundreds of pages to publish, hence very little of it will appear in the final book of the Trilogy.  The resulting verification will be many more times powerful and thorough than the work in the first edition of the Trilogy.  Based on the new material I can provide a disciplined set of exact criteria and time windows for the lead-in phases, crescendo peak, and down-slope of the Event Horizon of the Fifth Phoenix (we are in it now and we have **perhaps** another 20 years before we hit the other side) .   Some of the background material will appear in a follow-on book which is titled "The Nine Trends Which Are Changing The Earth".  Because my collection is so powerful in demonstrating a completely new perspective about the Earth and its history, all of it will be made to appear on the web or on CD for subscribers during the following months, to be known as "The Earth Changes Gallery".  The Gallery will never be complete in the sense that this will become a growing collection.  The existing collection still requires more organization and editing of the explanations and concluding points, perhaps another three weeks of work.  At the moment I am completing one of the major "floors" in the Gallery - the "Solar Activity Cycle" and how it does and does not connect with the major trends.  Check out these two charts in which everything comes together and the logic of my arguments  "turn" with the changes in the "trends".

 

Correlation of Solar Activity Cycle With XY Plots of the Earth's Wobble 1890-2006.  When it loads, click on the image to make your browser enlarge it to the correct giant size. Scroll across it.  Notice Sunspot Cycle 19.  What happens thereafter to the Earth's Wobble which is distinctly new?  Why has nobody put this together yet?  This is one of a dozen profound connections I have made in the past few months. Notice the date of Sunspot Cycle 19 MAX.  Where else have you seen this date?  Ah yes, Edgar Cayce....in 1934 or 36 describing the advent of Major Activities in the Earth Changes --- 1958!

Correlation of Solar Activity, World Termperature Trend, and Heat Gain Trend In The World Ocean 1867-2004 This is deliberately small so you stare with a 150 year vision all at once.  Ask yourself, what connects with what?  What REALLY connects with what?  Then connect the critical transition dates with the first chart which has the XY plots in it.  Then, if you are familiar with the graphs on world volcanism which I have produced, you will realize that WHILE the XY Plots "separate" in the graph, world volcanism and earthquake activity trend lines begin to accelerate manyfold, the oceans warm, and Global Warming becomes the fourth place topic on the news (after war and corruption and sex).

 

I have DOZENS  of supporting graphs which I have collected from other researchers which prove the reality of these "connections".  Many of these will be posted within the next couple of months.

You should see what I can do with the Phoenix 4 Event Horizon 12,500 Before Present.  The Global Warming paleo researchers are not proving up their favorite theories about CO2 but you should see what they are doing proving up Edgar Cayce's comments about the past.

The Prophecies, Book Three: 

on the lead-in for this Update

 

  1. The revised Prophecies book is still several weeks away.

  2. As already discussed I am paralleling a fourth book to work tightly in tandem with the revised Prophecies book.  The working title of this fourth book is:  "The Nine Trends Changing The Earth 1875-2025" - How Global Warming Is Caused By Underwater Volcanism & Why Greenhouse Gas Is Just Hot Air.  A review draft of nearly four chapters is available for paid subscribers with password at http://www.michaelmandeville.com/ebooks/ebookaccess.htm

  3. About 15 pages of this material, plus a couple of graphs, will be condensed into Book Three of the Trilogy to present a summary but complete logical argument to finish the verification of Edgar Cayce's long range prophecies.  The few left outstanding will not be verified until the other side of the Phoenix Singularity, which is called Phoenix 5 in the Prophecies and in the Earth Changes Bulletin.  As you should know by now, the Earth Changes Bulletin is monitoring the Earth's progression into chaotic motion and crustal breakup on the way towards an "avalanche of the crust" over the spin axis.

  4. It remains that all those who subscribed  with donations beginning in September 2005 in order to have access to the Phoenix books will have their subscriptions renewed at no charge to run through June 2007.   I may extend this further. This will give you plenty of time to download the finished Trilogy ebooks, the final set of which will be made available some time in January.  You will also get a fourth book, free, which will be a world class document, highly controversial.

THE WAR PLAN

"...in recent months, the former intelligence official told me, a special planning group has been established in the offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, charged with creating a contingency bombing plan for Iran that can be implemented, upon orders from the President, within twenty-four hours..."

"the current contingency plans allow for an attack order this spring..."

Seymour Hersh, in the "The New Yorker" Magazine, Posted February 26, 2007 for the March 5, 2007 Issue. Article citation: "The Redirection: Is the Administration’s new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism?"

MWM: Such a plan is not a contingency plan.  It is a war plan.


MWM:  MOST LIKELY THE COOKY WING OF THE CABAL IS NOW BLOCKED FROM BROADENING THE WAR INTO IRAN.  BUSH IS A DESTROYED PRESIDENT WHO NO LONG COMMANDS SUFFICIENT CREDIBILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY CONDUCT WAR EXPANSION. THE MAIN THREAT OF WAR FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2007 IS A FALSE-FLAG OPERATION CONTRIVED BY THE MOSSAD TO WHICH ISRAEL RESPONDS DIRECTLY WITH A BOMBING ATTACK ON IRAN.

Visible Sun Of July 9, 2007:

[7-9-07 ECB]  Solar Activity chopped up and down slightly this past seven days, ranging from a a high of 24 to a low of 12, standing at 16 on July 8, apparently falling.  However the flux rose during the past several days from 71 to 75, which suggests another increase in the Sunspot Count today or tomorrow.  With the current planetary grouping, activity could go anywhere anytime, but the over all level of activity should remain quite mild.

[7-9-07 ECB]  NASA reports no significant sunspots on the farside.  [Holographic image credit: SOHO/MDI] 

[7-9-07 ECB] Quick Solar Activity Forecast From Planetary Alignments:  We are in the middle of a complex set of rapidly changing planetary alignments involving Mercury, Earth, and Venus, which will persist for another two to three weeks..  It is very difficult to predict anything from this pattern.   Expect nothing, be not surprised by anything. By August, planetary stimulus should average out to nil and so should solar activity.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHICH MOST PEOPLE STILL ARE NOT GETTING:

The Sun is at minimum levels of activity, headed to even lower levels of activity in August.  Thus the climate patterns this year have nothing to do with solar cycles and are entirely related to global warming phenomenon produced by tectonic causes.

[5-21-07 ECB] Passage To Solar Cycle 24:   We may pass into Solar Cycle 24 at practically any time during 2007, though we may not know it completely officially until six months after the fact. (The MINIMA is calculated as a running 12 month average and so our definition of the event always lags for several months until the numbers work themselves out. Note to astrophysicists: we need a better method of calculation which can spot the passage within 90 days).

 

Pix of coronal holes[7-9-07 ECB]   NASA predicts "A weak solar wind stream flowing from this minute coronal hole should reach Earth on July 11th or 12th".  .  NASA predicts a 1% to 10% probability of solar flares (X to M, respectively) during the next 48 hours.  NASA predicts there is a 10% to 45% probability of major magnetic disturbances in the high latitudes during the next 48 hours. Pix Credit: NOAA GOES-13.  

 

 

[6-4-07 ECB] Average Solar Counts for January - April 2007:  Flux:  83 in January, 77 in February, 72 in April, 74.4 in May.   Spots: ISSN - 16.9 in January, 10.6 in February,  4.8 for March, 3.7 in April, 11.7 in May, a little above the prediction  THE MARCH AND APRIL AVERAGES WERE SEVERAL POINTS  BELOW NASA'S PREDICTED LEVEL, MAY SLIGHTLY ABOVE.  Solar Sunspot Cycle 23 may be mostly gone but it looks like Sunspot Cycle 24, as predicted by the European scientific consortium (Belgium) is not likely to happen until latter in the year, perhaps not until early 2008.

 

Magnetic Disturbances: (As Shown By Fluxgate Monitor at the University of Alaska )

[7-9-07 ECB]  Fluxgate Monitor is showing almost no magnetic activity in the upper atmosphere.  Activity may be fairly uneventful through the remainder of this year however keep in mind that even during a Solar Min period, intense X class flares and CME's occasionally occur.

 

http://www.michaelmandeville.com//ecbulletin/2007/sunspots/fluxgate_7-9-07.gif

 

Solar Cycle 24 Predictions: 

[4-30-07 ECB]  Another round of predictions for Solar Cycle 24 is now being tendered through NASA and other sources.  Using more traditional statistical methods, dates for the beginning of the next cycle have been pushed back to Spring 2008. We now have predicted dates ranging from NOW through to April/May 2008.   

[2-12-07 ECB] There are now three major focal points for predictions of the beginning of Cycle 24.  One cluster is for March 2007.  Another is for Fall 2007, which is probably NASA/NOAA's most prevalent opinion.  A third is January 2008.  I personally lean toward January 2008, which is the official prediction of the EU's apparently most prominent solar group. 

[3-26-07 ECB] Conservative predictions shown in red by Hathaway, NASA/NOAA, 2007, uses an older statistically-based model. Other predictions using Solar Dynamic Models indicate a higher peak for Cycle 24. Cycle 25 "seems" too low in this chart when compared to the past nine Activity Cycles

The Phoenix Five Revised Scenario will be based on the following logic:

These projected Solar Activity Cycles are of immense importance because of the impact of Cycle 19 on the shifting of the Spin Axis in 1958.  Cycle 24 may be as large as Cycle 19 and this may bring enough new shifting and tectonic motion in the Earth's crust to initiate major tectonic ruptures around the Pacific Rim.  From now through to the MAX of Cycle 24, increasing break up in the crust may be evident through a variety of increased tectonic activities.  During the MAX years of 2011-2014, the ruptures may begin the long predicted destructions in the Western U.S.  The final breakup of the crust may occur during the MAX period of Cycle 25, which is not likely to be so small as shown here.  In all cases we will be watching the Great Rift for the auguries.  Always, the windows of greatest danger will be the combination of the "whammies", New Moon or Full Moon, Perigee, Perihelion, Mercury aligned with another inner planet or even Jupiter, during the peak years of the Solar Cycle.  Add as well the Eclipse Nodal Cycle (18 years) to find the extremes in the Lunar Sygygy, the next of which occurs in 2022.   It is the splitting of the Great Rift which is the key to the entire Earth Changes phenomenon, including the current waves of Global Warming and acidification of the oceans.  The Wobble pumps the Great Rift and the Great Rift spreads the tectonic plates and forces the motions which cause them to buckle and grind against each other... and every once in a very great while the tectonic plates avalanche together en masse to redistribute their mass to achieve a better condition of balance in the spinning vortices of the Earth-Moon-Sun System.

 

SOLAR OUTPUT 1975-2005

This chart of the last three Solar Cycles is profoundly important for many reasons.  First, it demonstrates that scientists have learned in just the last 30 years that gross solar output is almost precisely parallel with the output of Sunspots. In other words, the Sunspot Cycle is actually the Solar Activity Cycle.  Secondly the chart demonstrates that Sunspot numbers define the amount of actual irradiance (also called luminescence) which strikes the top of the Earth's atmosphere. This measure in turn is telling us how much "heat" energy is being delivered to the Earth.  As we can see, the total energy has been declining in average since 1975.  With less primary heat, there is also less "reflected" or "green-housed" heat. To make a long story short, this chart demonstrates that neither the Sun, nor all its cycles, nor all the Greenhouse Gases, nor all the inflated academic claims concerning them, have much to do with the obvious warming of the Earth.  Ignorance is a wonderful thing.  It frees the mind to seek the right answers.  Go seek, find the real cause of Global Warming.

PLANETARY ACTIVITY: Skywatching, Planet Alignments, Moon, Asteroids

 The Inner Four Planets set inside the ring of the asteroid belt and the orbit of Jupiter. Each point of light is an actual representation of a planet, asteroid, or comet (plus the Sun of course), set within a true scale of distance as of April 1.   The positions of all numbered asteroids and all numbered comets in JPL's small-body database are shown (as of April 1, 2007 ).  Asteroids are yellow dots, comets are the pale blurry smudges.  We are looking down on the Solar System, overlooking the "North Pole" of the Earth.  As can be seen, our Solar System is a pretty busy place.

VENUS:  Still a great and bright first star you see every nite in its annual appearance as the Evening Star. Look for Jupiter on the other end of the sky (on the eastern horizon).  Both of these two planets are very bright at this time and appear very early in the Sunset.  THEN, CHECK OUT THE BRIGHTEST STAR NEXT TO VENUS.  That is not a star, it is the planet Saturn, who are in what earth-centric perspectives call a conjunction.

 Then check out directly overhead at the top of  the vault of the heavens, just a little to the off-center to the South.  At nearly that point is Arcturus, an enormously huge star (100 times the size of our Sol) which outshines everything else up there in that portion of the sky.  Cayce predicts that we will discover that our sun is revolving around Arcturus as part of a complex system of many stars.  Notice, if you can see the stars clearly enough, the relationships of Arcturus with the Milky Way (Nun), with the Great Bull (the cow which jumped over the Moon), and with the zodiac path of Venus and Jupiter, which are roughly on the Earth's "Celestial Equator" (which is the Earth's Equator extended out into the Universe).

 

NIGHT SKY FOR July 2, 2007:  Click for full screen sky map

IMAGE PRODUCED BY MICA, software & data from the JPL & U.S. Naval Observatory

If you want to learn how to follow the stars at night and get deeper into the cosmic scene of the planetary alignments, how the solar system actually works, and so forth, start using this.  It is centered for 5 AM Greenwich Tuesdays (the map is changed for each weekly update) for Arizona Mountain Time (no daylight savings) at 2000 meter elevation on approximately Black Mesa, Hopi Land.  This projection is produced by U.S. Navy Observatory MICA software and Ephemeris (Ephemeris is maintained on line by JPL).  It is more or less the world standard of algorithms for precisely tracking the cosmos and the software is such a snap to use to create powerful results, I cannot resist using it.  With this you can stand on the bridge of a vessel at sea and navigate like they used to do (but no longer, its all satellite positioning now, but old habits die not at all in the navies of the world).  Hopi Land was selected as the focal point because this provides the same approximate night sky to New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California (with a little time delay).  Sorry, you folks in the Pacific Northwest will not be able to use this very well, you need your own projection. As a rough and ready make-do, just face the South and look for the relevant items about 10 to 20 degrees lower than indicated in the chart.  Like California, expect events in the chart to be one hour earlier than your time.

[5-07-07 ECB] Welcome to Solar Minima, which is the point when one Sunspot Cycle ends and another begins during a month when very little sunspot activity will be recorded.  We won't know the official "point" of the transition for many more months yet, perhaps not even until near the end of 2008, but frankly it sure feels like 2007 is the transition year.

 

SOLAR FORECAST:

[7-9-07 ECB]   Mercury will pass by Neptune and then Uranus during the next two weeks, followed during the next month by Venus and Earth, even as Venus passes Earth.  These orbital passes will generate a number of small spikes in Sunspot Activity during the next 30 days, the size and timing of which will be unpredictable.  August should be a "dead" solar month with no stimulus for hurricanes.  The height of the hurricane season of 2007 may emerge about September 10 in connection with the alignment of Mercury | Jupiter on September 18.  This season may extend through to the end of October while Mercury completes another series of fast moving alignments with the inner planets and two more of the outer planets.  This influence is not likely to be very strong this year during this year of the Solar Minima.  Major solar influence on storm fronts is not likely to reappear until 2009 

Sunspot and solar activity should peak generally 8 to 3 days in advance of these alignment dates but keep in mind that some times the solar peak comes in on the day or the day after the alignment.

August 12 , 2007 Venus | Earth | Neptune Three-Way PLANETARY ALIGNMENT

This is a highly focused alignment with Mercury on the other side of the Sun in nearly perfect opposition.  This may produce a brief flurry of Sunspots, perhaps a count as high as 35

HURRICANE SEASON SUNSPOT ALIGNMENTS:  The next most interesting moment in the planetary alignments will come a month later near September 18 when Mercury moves into alignment with Jupiter. This pass of Mercury will be posted in a few weeks.  Thus from about September 12, we may see the beginning of the height of the Hurricane Season and it may persist for a couple of months while Mercury passes by in alignments once again with all the inner planets along with Neptune and Uranus.

 

December 22 , 2007 Six Bodies In A Straight
Mars | Earth | Sun | Mercury | Jupiter | Pluto

There are significant alignments in September, October, and November but the charts have not been added yet. A spectacular "bunching" of the inner planets will be seen as "morning stars" during early November, Mercury, Mars, and Venus should all be viewable together at dawn in a very rare conjunction.  I am guessing that this confabulation of the inner planets will mark the beginning of Solar Cycle 24.

Most important for Solar Activity is the six-way alignment in December on the Solstice.  This next chart is added because it far outclasses all else during 2007.  On about December 18/19, five planets will align in a straight line with the Sun.  Earth and Mars will align on the top of the chart, while  Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto align on the almost exact opposite side of the Sun. Off to one side, Venus will align with Saturn.  On December 22, Earth's Moon will be Perigee at the peak of its North Node and on December 24, the Moon will be Full.  Talk about a syzygy window!!!

[7-2-07 ECB]   We are now at the peak of the Full Moon in very nearly its most extreme South Declination.  (the graph is confusing, I got the description wrong last week). A small Perigee will follow in about seven seven days.  This gives us I suppose nearly a full week of "syzygy" but I suspect it will be a weak seismic period rather than an active one.

STANDING PREDICTION:  In general, I believe that the danger of major quakes in North America is actually receding at this time.  Heightened danger zones will not return until the Fall.
