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.

THERE IS ONLY ONE WORD FOR THE PUBLIC AGENDA AND THE WORD IS IMPEACHMENT:  The only institutional method left to prevent the Imperial Faction from manipulating the U.S. into a deeper and broader war in the Middle East during the next twelve months is to immediately undertake the impeachment of the Cheney/Bush Junta.

COSMIC FACTORS:  Sunspots dropped to 0 during the past several days with the Flux plateaued at around 69.  Presently the Sunspot Count is 11 with the flat line Flux at 69.   The Earth is entering the solar wind from another modest coronal hole but it is not likely to bring much disturbance.  There is however, an explosive group of Sunspots, probably following Venus as it approaches Earth and Neptune for an alignment on August 12.  This modestly explosive Sunspot (as Sunspots go) NASA believes can produce a number of C class flares which will induce some magnetic storms in the high latitudes.  NASA predicts 15 to 30 percent probability of magnetic storms in the high latitudes but currently all is calm on the upper atmosphere.  Likely Solar activity will not increase substantially at this point and will fall of rapidly, but the Sun is always somewhat unstable from our point of view.  The power of Venus and Earth may pull out another spike in activity.  Contrary to reports in previous weeks, it is not likely that Solar Cycle 24 is here.  Average Sunspot Count for July declined slightly, telling us that the MIN in April, followed by the rise in May and June, was NOT IT.  Given the dispersal of the planets, the Count is likely to decline as well in August. NORTHERN CHAOS, OR PERHAPS IT'S NORTHERN CONFUSION, IS WELL UNDERWAY. CURRENT FLUX THIS WEEK IS SHIFTING PARAMETERS OF OCEAN CLIMATE REGIMES RAPIDLY INTO NEW CONDITIONS.  AUGUST WILL CHANGE SUBSTANTIALLY.  Currently, no hurricanes in sight, not even a tropical depression, El Nino and La Nina patterns are scrambled across the Northern Hemispheres, making all weather and climate patterns for this summer basically OFF THE WALL.  La Nina is hanging strong.   HURRICANE season too tough to call but it is highly possible that  the current "revised" forecast will be substantially revised yet again by the Hurricane Center.  At the moment, the Pacific will probably have the most active season. 

BIOSPHERE:   Forest fires in North America are still a severe threat in many areas already but the threat is less severe now than it seemed at the beginning of Summer.   The monsoon continues in the Pacific Southwest, supplied mainly by Caribbean marine air and this will continue to help.  But this may not last for the full season, the augeries of change are on the waters of the Pacific. 

GEOPHYSICAL FACTORS:  Polar Motion - the wobble spiral track continues to expand as it should.  Once again, seismic activity 6+ is running a little below normal in frequency of major quakes.   Volcanic activity is simmering down with 25 volcanoes still on the active list.  Lava out of about four reported this week, and ash out of about twelve.  Volcanism probably will continue to simmer down for the next several weeks, then upsurge again gradually in November and December

GEOPOLITICAL FLUX:   

The Noosphere, the collective THINKING awareness of humanity, is everywhere greatly apprehensive of the coming assault on Iran by the madmen in Washington DC.  Madmen and idiots do indeed stalk the hallways there, and those who plot imperial hubris are rife in the dankly corrupted nooks and crannies.  There is every objective reason in the world to be greatly fearful of what is being carved out of the wreck of the Republic.   The tension is everywhere and some commentators suggest that the emotional anticipation and depression is as bad as the August of 1939 or the August of 1914, the "eves" of the beginning of the two World Wars.   Just so.  As stated in previous weeks, it has been very clear since the beginning of May  that a relentless Boogieman campaign had been unleashed by the warshills in the Warcast Media.  The crescendo is still building up a rich fabric of local terrorism alert stories which are mixed in with national warcaster soundbites which feature  international rumors built upon speculations upon hyberbole upon disinformation campaigns by the same old talking Telly  head-bangers who conjured up the horrible tragedy in Iraq. The Masters of War are expertly building a climate of complete confusion and doublethink on triplethink to destroy all semblance of reason of facts so that they can blow through a blitzkrieg of heavy emotionalism, fear, and anger.  The daily cloth of reality is being given the texture of terror attacks, rumors of terror attacks, rumors of wars, gross criminality, security alerts, Boogieman in the woods, Boogiemen crossing the borders, teams of Boogiemen assembling to bomb Americans, Boogiemen, Boogiemen, everywhere maybe more Boogiemen.   THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THIS IS MOSTLY PSYCHOTIC PARANOID DELUSION BROADCAST INTO MASS HYPNOSIS TO DRIVE LITTLE JOHNIE AND PEDRO INTO IRAN. 

SPIRITUAL FLUX  -   HOLD TO THE TRUTHS OF YOUR SPIRITUAL REALITY.  Venus - Earth - Neptune Lining Up in Near-Pefect Solar Alignment.  Due about August 12.  But the energy is already fantastic.  If you meditate you will know what I mean.  The high-flying sailing which can be done right now with the greatest and deepest of ease is fabulous.  Is it just me, or is another layer of the shell flying off in all directions leaving you about 100 pounds lighter.  IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN MEDITATING ON THE DEEP CORE ENERGY CHANNEL IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, Indra's net is alive and the electricity is incredible.  Don't miss out.
 

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.

 

 

 

RECENTLY 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'Brien 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 .

 

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 August 6, 2007:
 Credit: SOHO/MDI

[8-6-07 ECB]  Solar Activity started at 13 sunspots, dropped to zip a few days ago and returned to 11 on August 5.  Flux is virtual flat line at 69. This activity is not likely to go much further although it may still move higher for a few days for the approaching alignment of Venus and Earth on August 12.  The over all level of activity should remain quite mild for the next week and turn fairly soon back to zero.  After this one, the Sun will be virtually silent for several weeks pending the next alignment in mid September.

 

[8-6-07 ECB]  NASA reports no significant sunspots on the farside.  [Holographic image credit: SOHO/MDI] 

[7-23-07 ECB] Quick Solar Activity Forecast From Planetary Alignments:  The planets for the most part will be widening apart again very soon and influences on the Sun will become simple again.  After the peaking in early August for the Venus | Earth alignment, planetary stimulus should average out to nil and so should solar activity for several weeks.

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.

Pix of coronal holes[8-6-07 ECB]   NASA states that we are currently in a solar wind stream which flows from this coronal hole.  NASA predicts a 1% to 1% probability of solar flares (X to M, respectively) during the next 48 hours.  NASA predicts there is a 15% to 30% probability of major magnetic disturbances in the high latitudes during the next 48 hours.  Pix Credit: NOAA GOES-13.  

 

 

[7-23-07 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.  June's ISSN was 12 but July's dropped down to 10. 

[8-6-07 ECB] SOLAR CYCLE 24:  Re the averages above, this means more or less that Sunspot Cycle 24 did not commence earlier.  August should be even lower in its average count, and it may end up being the MIN month despite a Venus/Earth alignment.  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).

 

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

[8-6-07 ECB]  Fluxgate Monitor is showing only very minor chops.  For the next several days, greater disturbances could come at any time, after that the Sun should be very mild for many days at a time.  Always keep in mind that even during a Solar Min period, intense X class flares and CME's occasionally occur and produce intense magnetic storms in the atmosphere.

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.

NIGHT SKY FOR August 6, 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 SYSTEM FORECAST:

[8-6-07 ECB]   Venus approaches the  Earth and will line up with both Earth and Neptune in nearly a straight line with the Sun..  These orbital passes may generate a number of small spikes in Sunspot Activity during the next ten 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!!!

(note:  South Declination Is On The Top Side Of The Graph)
 

[8-6-07 ECB]   We are now in the middle of nowhere as far as lunar cycle phases go.  We have passed a small Perigee and are headed to an extreme North Declination on August 9 and a New Moon on August 13, which will be followed by an Apogee on August 18.  This week should be a yawner on all counts. Our worst problem will be the insufferable droning of the Warcast Media, which will largely work at drowning out (and succeeding at it with mine cave-ins and other summer accidents) what is really happening in the Middle East.

STANDING PREDICTION:  In general, I believe that the danger of major quakes in North America is very modest during this coming cycle.  Heightened danger will begin to mount in September and continue through to December of this year, with the greatest danger likely in October.
