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.

RISK IS EXTREMELY HIGH

AS THINGS CURRENTLY STAND, A RUTHLESSLY CRUEL, BARBARIAN BOMBING CAMPAIGN IS LIKELY TO LAUNCHED AGAINST A NATION OF HAPLESS, INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS NO LATER THAN MID-SPRING, 2008.

The current  historical parallel:  the Cabal is rerunning the Fall of 2002, the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.  Even the timing of their assault on Iran is likely to be somewhat the same, though I suspect that it will be later in the year, perhaps the late Spring as opposed to the early Spring.

For additional details,  see the "rant": http://www.capitolhillblue.com/

New Yorker Magazine,  from Seymour Hersh in "Shifting Targets" (click for article).   Hersh now pretty well confirms that the die is cast.

So keep in mind at all times during the next eight months:

THERE IS AN EXTREMELY HIGH RISK OF FALSE-FLAG TERRORIST OPERATIONS INSTIGATED BY RIGHT-WING THUG ELEMENTS IN THE CIA, MOSSAD, MK5, AND ALLIED MOBS WORKING AS AGENTS FOR AN INTERNATIONAL CABAL composed of Anglo-American-Jewish elements during October 2007 through to Spring 2008.

COSMIC FACTORS: Sunspots and solar activity has bottomed at 0 where it has been now for 26 days, nearly enough to quality for Solar MIN and the turn into Solar Cycle 24.  Flux remained nearly flat lined now for many weeks at around 67.  The Sun may now  provide a few small peaks of activity alignments of the  planets November and December - but don't count on it!!!  NASA predicts a 1%percent probability of magnetic storms in the high latitudes with a 1% or less probability of major explosive or flare events on the Sun.   Fluxgate is mostly flat line and will mostly remain this way most of the next 30 days.  No solar wind gusts are coming our way as no coronal holes can be seen in the Sun's atmosphere.  Meanwhile Hurricane Season remains as becalmed as the Sun (and that is no coincidence).  Forget about the professional predictions of the government agencies, they are now moot, though  November might still stir up another hurricane.  La Nina cool, broad, and firm, which has already made for a dry and cold Fall in the lower Southwest region.  The North Atlantic Oscillation hangs in there off the coast of Ireland, to its east and south.  The North Pacific Gyre Hot Spot, north of Hawaii, is cooling rapidly as is the Mid Pacific coast zone off California and the Pacific Northwest.  This is likely going to form a Fall weather syndrome for North America like last Fall's.   An early, cold Fall in the northern states and provinces (already moving in) but the mid-Pacific coastal zone will remain blocked to the jet stream, making Fall and early Winter dry from California through British Columbia. Elsewhere, early snowfalls in the mountains have already begun.  The east coast likely will freeze like last winter.  Weathermen predict a slightly warmer than average winter in North  America.  They may be right in the average numbers- BUT a good portion of it for a goodly portion of time will be much cooler than normal.

GEOPHYSICAL FACTORS:    Polar Motion - the wobble spiral track continues now to track more or less normally, though showing signs of significant displacement (drift or True Polar Wander) during the past few years. Seismic activity is below average in frequency, widely scattered. The next syzygy period - New Moon on November 10, UTC - will run approximately November 7-13.  The New Moon will be in Apogee with the extreme Declination of the Moon's orbit in the Southern Hemisphere following a day later.    Meanwhile volcanism continues apace with  28 volcanoes now on the active list.  Even though the Alert List was pared back from 84 to 60, the recent round of updates seems to indicate that volcanic activity is actually higher this past week than during October.  Lava is still rare but many ash emissions and explosions were reported.  Kilauea is still vigorous and continues to be the most spectacular on-going eruption on Earth.  Indonesian volcanoes seem to be leading the very modest worldwide upsurge.

GEOPOLITICAL FLUX:    See the War Watch above.  As suggested here, the containment and isolation of the anti-war demonstrations, their virtual exclusion from the warcast media, has depressed the anti-war movements and has definitely emboldened the Cheney/Bush Junta to proceed at full speed in working towards its objectives in the Middle East, which include the dismemberment of Iraq, destructive military forays against Iran, increased militarization of the U.S. continent under totalitarian controls, and implementation of the North American Union treaties to complete the "mooting" of the U.S. Constitution. The Democratic faction in Congress, nominally holding the majority, NOT AWARE OF HOW AND WHY IT IS BEING MANIPULATED, UNABLE TO DEAL WITH THE PLAIN TRUTH, UNABLE TO DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT THE REPUBLIC IS DEAD, will continue to fail in derailing the Imperial Faction while  shadow boxing furiously with illusions.  Meanwhile the Imperial Faction has assembled Zionazi billionaires and hangers-on to fund a blitzkrieg propaganda campaign with $200 million dollars to drown out the sound of the Democratic campaigners while scaring the crap out of Americans with a new round of Boogie-Iranmen.  Unless a miracle occurs to change the subject of focus and moot the Imperial plan, the disgust, anger, and reactivity in U.S. politics will continue to increase during 2007/08, generate outbreaks of increasing violence, factionate the political parties, and propel independent candidacies for many races, including major third and fourth party candidates for the Presidency. 

 

SPIRITUAL FLUX  -   HOLD TO THE TRUTHS OF YOUR SPIRITUAL REALITY.   THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN REALITIES AT WILL, THINK UPON THE MAKING OF A GREAT NOISE OVER THE CONTINENT TO END AMERICAN MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. IMAGINE A WALL OF SOUND WHICH INTRUDES INTO EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE WHICH SAYS ESSENTIALLY ONE THING.  OUT OF IRAQ NOW. LEAVE IN PEACE.  NO ATTACKS AGAINST OTHER NATIONS.  THINK UPON THIS AND WE WILL TALK OF IT AGAIN.
 

GEO-ECONOMIC FLUX:  The  economic slide continues and more and more extreme bears are showing up.   A long depression in the U.S. is slowly settling in and likely will bottom in 2008/2009.  Figures by moderate bears are now ranging between 20 to 30%.   With the collapse of the housing industry, unemployment will roll heavily throughout the continent, worsening throughout the remainder of this year and well into 2008.  Meanwhile, Eurasia up, Latin America  up. Buy Euros.

A RECENT 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.

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 November 5, 2007:  Credit: SOHO/MDI

[11-5-07 ECB]  Solar Activity remained at 0 all week as it has for the last few weeks.with the FLUX at about 68 where it is now.  Sunspot Activity is likely to to remain low most of the time, but a few alignments during the next 60 days should create a few modest spikes of activity.  After  four weeks at 0 sunspots, we are about as close to Solar MIN as it gets.  This could very well be the MIN turn-around month.

[11-5-07 ECB]  NASA reports no sunspots on the farside.
[Holographic image credit: SOHO/MDI] 

[11-5-07 ECB] Quick Solar Activity Forecast From Planetary Alignments:    No change from previous weeks - for the most part, planetary stimulus should average out close to nil and so should solar activity for several weeks, although an occasional small spike in activity will probably occur.  Most likely there will be greater activity during the next sixty days than during the previous sixty days.

IMPORTANT NOTE WHICH MOST PEOPLE STILL ARE NOT GETTING:

The Sun is at minimum levels of activity.  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[11-5-07 ECB]   NASA reports no coronal holes in the Sun's atmosphere.  NASA predicts a 1% to 1% probability of solar flares (X to M, respectively) during the next 48 hours. NASA, in the lowest probability prediction ever offered, predicts there is a 1% to 1% probability of major magnetic disturbances in the high latitudes during the next 48 hours.    Pix Credit: NOAA  

[11-5-07 ECB] Average Solar Counts for 2007:  Flux:  83 in January, 77 in February, 74.4 in May, 69.1 in September..   Spots: ISSN - 16.9 in January, 10.6 in February,  4.8 for March, 3.7 in April, 11.7 in May. August continued the decline to 6.2, despite the Venus | Earth alignment and September's was 2.4, about as low as it gets.   OCTOBER'S AVERAGE WAS 0.9 and as of yesterday we have had 26 days of 0 sunspots.  THAT'S ALMOST THE SOLAR MINIMA.

 

[11-5-07 ECB] Passage To Solar Cycle 24:    If no sunspots occur during the next four days, we will be at the "real" transition month from Cycle 23 to 24.  If so, astrophysicists will not confirm this, however, for a few more months.  Their definition is based on a running mathematical monthly average which obscures somewhat the exact turning point of the cycle. (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 )

11-5-07 ECB]  Fluxgate Monitor shows a nearly flat line solar wind.  Conditions are not likely to change much during the next several weeks, though occasional small disturbances will show up every few days.   (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.)

 

http://www.michaelmandeville.com//ecbulletin/2007/sunspots/fluxgate_11-5-07.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.

 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 November 5, 2007 from Hopiland:  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- 10 pm Monday evening) 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.

PLANET ALIGNMENTS:

ALMANAC  |  BACKGROUND  |  EARTHMONITOR LINKS  |  LATEST

 

[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:

[10-8-07 ECB]  Aproximately as forecasted here in previous weeks, a minor spike appeared about October 4-7 for the October 11 alignment of Venus | Mars. Activity should remain low for another week and then about October 17-20 a few ups and downs in Solar Activity will meet the succession of Mercury's alignments with other planets, most especially a Mercury | Earth alignment on October 24 followed by a Mercury | Mars alignment on October 29.  Most likely Solar Activity will not increase by significant amounts, more likely by just  a couple of minor bumps in the count and perhaps a few relatively low energy solar storms.

AS PREVIOUSLY STATED: Solar influence on the hurricane season is not likely to be very strong this year during this year of the Solar Minima.  Major sunspot 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.

 

HURRICANE SEASON SUNSPOT ALIGNMENTS: 

There are significant alignments in October, and November.   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.

So far the hurricane season (what season?) has been as becalmed as solar activity and no accident that.  What is left of the season should begin to generate more energetic storms during the last half of October with the Mercury alignments of the inner planets along with Neptune and Uranus.  I expect for the most part that the Sun's output will be very muted but major eruptions can and occasionally do occur during Solar Minima.  We could get a major storm surge which just suddenly comes on and induces a real hurricane or two during late October.  But this is fairly low probability..

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

 

 

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!!!

Almost certainly these alignments will induce Solar Activity.  These probably will mark the beginning of Solar Cycle 24.

[11-5-07 ECB]    We are at no special place in the Lunar Cycles headed to the next New Moon in about five days.  The next New Moon is on November 10 more or less at Apogee with the Moon approaching its extreme South Declination.  Consider the Syzygy Window to extend from November 8 to November 13.  Phase and Declination extreme factors will  at work, but the Apogee will make them less potent than they might otherwise be.  Call this Syzygy weak for tectonic activity. The following Full Moon Syzygy at Perigee in the North Node may very well produce some of the most extreme quake activity of the 2007.

This following prediction is right so far.  If the month of September is any indication of what is in store for October and November, I hope this one also goes wrong.

STANDING PREDICTION:  Beware, however, from about October 11 through to the Perihelion in early January.  The cycles are phasing up together, Perigee and Full Moon tightly linked in November, with the New Moon and Extreme Declination tightly linked in early December.   Thus, heightened danger will begin to mount in September and continue through to December of this year, with the greatest danger likely during the syzygy windows in October -December.
