(( On Edit - I've listed the eclipse and Supermoon dates Nolle gives and the suggested astrolocality maps he gives for earthquakes, weather
related items, etc...but he gives so much history related to current
political issues that it is well worth reading and re-reading and re-reading his article.
And don't forget that if you have a planet or cusp within 3 to 5 degrees of these eclipse points you are also affected in your personal horoscope of the nature of the planet and house conjuncted or opposed or squared.)
http://www.astropro.com/forecast/predict/2005-all.htmlThis year's Sun-Mars opposition, in short, suggests that 2005 will make 2004 look relatively calm and peaceful.
Which is to say that warfare, terror attacks, military confrontation and the like will be even more abundant this year than last - if that can be believed.
From collective violence like war to individual violence like murder and other criminality, and even including accidents and crashes and fires and explosions due to recklessness or evil intent and sometimes just plain bad luck (e.g. a lightning strike), this will not be a safe and peaceful year in many respects - especially within a week or so of the many strong Mars alignments of 2005.
Sun-Mars opposition and Mars-Neptune square on November 7 first and foremost - worldwide in scope, but especially prominent in the US Pacific coast states and along arcs through the Middle East and Russia as well as Ireland and Scotland, China and Japan, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Other strong Mars periods come within a week or so of January 1, in the aftermath of the December 31, 2004 Mars-Uranus square;
January 28 (Mars aligns with Pluto),
April 13 (Mars-Neptune conjunction),
May 15 (Mars-Uranus alignment),
June 26 and December 5 (Mars opposing Jupiter),
October 1 (the Red Planet's retrograde station),
December 10 (Mars' direct station),
December 28 (Mars squares Saturn). In fact the whole Mars retrograde period (October 1 to December 10) is just plain edgy, pretty much day in and day out.
Other peak risk dates include
July 10 (Mars reaches 19 Aries, the degree of the April 8 solar eclipse),
July 27 (Mars at 0 Taurus, the degree of the April 19, 2004 solar eclipse),
and August 6 (Mars at 5 Taurus, the degree of the October 28, 2004 lunar eclipse). Dangers aside, these Mars periods are not all bad. They're times when bravery and daring can do the seemingly impossible.
Super Moons: (strongly affecting weather)
There are four SuperMoon (perigee-syzygy) alignments this year, including one of the most extreme of its type in a dozen years.
an extreme SuperMoon at 20 Capricorn on January 10
(This year's January 10 extreme SuperMoon sees Luna approach to just 356,571 kilometers from Earth - the closest approach of the year, and within about 200 kilometers of the nearest pass in centuries. And it occurs less than 24 hours after the Moon reaches its extreme declination south of the celestial equator; with Jupiter in the same sign (Libra) as it was back in 1993. Another "Perfect Storm," as occurred the last time there was a SuperMoon so close to Earth? Not exactly. But as with any SuperMoon, you can expect extreme natural calamities to make plenty of headlines around the time of this unusual alignment. Severe storms with high wind and heavy precipitation (raising the risk of floods, mudslides and blizzards), higher than normal tides, and moderate to severe seismic activity (Richer 5+ quakes as well as volcanic eruptions, either of which could raise dangerous tsunamis if they occur at sea) -they're all on tap during the plus or minus three day window surrounding January 10's extreme SuperMoon alignment. And coming as it does within a week of Earth's perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) and with the full moon opposing Saturn in a T-Square configuration with Jupiter . . . well, this looks like a big one. much higher than normal risk of extreme storm, tidal and seismic events during the January 7-13 window. Having your emergency kit ready, your fuel tank full and your batteries charged up: not a bad idea at all.)
(some areas which may be especially vulnerable during the January 7-13 SuperMoon window. They include an arc sweeping northeasterly from San Diego through Billings, across Iceland and down through Copenhagen into eastern Europe and down into the Middle East; a couple of pole to pole north-south zones passing through Rio de Janeiro in the west and from Tokyo down through Adelaide in the east, as well as another pair passing through London and Paris in the west and down through Wrangel Island in the East Siberian Sea; and finally another arc running northeasterly through Central America, across Cuba and along the US Atlantic coast from Florida to New England, crossing Baffin Island, Greenland and Iceland to track across Scandinavia down through Russia into Afghanistan and across India (passing near Delhi) and then skirting the coast west of Indonesia and Australia. )
On Edit by Pallas - Heck - I was caught in that storm of the century in 93 - that was when for the first time the East Side Drive in NYC flooded, and a totally unexpected storm and tornadoes hit the west coast of Florida. Yuk -
and 20 Aquarius on February 8
The February 8 SuperMoon is another indicator of increased tidal, storm, and seismic risk, in effect February 5-11.
zones of possible special risk. Among these is a north-south longitudinal zone that runs through Hawaii and western Alaska, and another that goes through eastern Europe and the heart of Africa. Another pole to pole north-south zone crosses eastern Greenland and western Iceland, while yet another skirts the east coast of Australia and runs northward through the East Siberian Sea. East Asia from Yakutsk through the Korean Peninsula and down through the Philippines across Indonesia lies under the east end of an arc of vulnerability, which emerges on the other side of the world to run northwesterly through the center of South America, crossing the Caribbean to pass right through Washington DC and out through northwestern Canada.
and two full Supermoons
at 29 Capricorn on July 21
full moon SuperMoon at 29 Capricorn on July 21st. It's in effect from the 18th through the 24th - an interval that includes the Moon reaching maximum southern declination on the 19th - and it looks foreboding: a T-Square configuration with Mars in a critical degree of Aries square (90 degree arc to) Saturn and the Sun on one hand, and the Moon on the other (making its second closest approach to Earth all year). There's bound to be plenty of news focusing on powerful storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, high tides and inland flooding during this period. Thunderstorms and fires, tornadoes and cyclones, weather-related crashes
27 Aquarius on August 19
Last among this year's SuperMoon alignments is the full moon at 27 Aquarius on August 19, the Moon's third closest approach to Earth in 2005. Like its July 21st predecessor, this SuperMoon occurs during a Mercury intersolar cycle - in an especially sensitive spot in fact, within just a few days of Mercury's direct station on the 16th. So once again, the infrastructure of information, commerce and electrical connections is susceptible to disruption owing to natural calamities. What kind of natural calamities? The usual SuperMoon suspects: powerful storms with heavy precipitation and destructive winds, tidal flooding along the coasts, inland flooding and mudslides due to the aforementioned precipitation; and moderate to severe seismic activity, including Richter 5+ quakes and possible tsunamis resulting therefrom, as well as volcanic eruptions.
Expect news of these things to surge during the August 16-22 SuperMoon window,special risk from tides, storms and seismic activity during the August 16-22 period. Among these is a longitudinal arc running through Ontario, the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Valley, into the Gulf of Mexico and across the Yucutan Peninsula into Central America, and on through the South Pacific. The same arc runs across the other side of the globe, cutting through eastern Russia, western Mongolia, China and Myanmar out into the Indian Ocean, sweeping just off the northwest coast of Indonesia. The entire Rocky Mountain chain lies under another pole to pole arc that clips the south tip of the Baja Peninsula, emerging on the other side of the world to pass over Tashkent and Kabul southward into the Indian Ocean. And then there's the Mars horizon, arcing northeasterly from the South Pacific across central Mexico, grazing Dallas and Minneapolis and then crossing western Ontario and the Hudson Bay; the same line then skims the northern Scandinavia coast to cross the Urals and swing down through Afghanistan and Pakistan before passing over the India Ocean. Another planetary horizon of note in this connection is Saturn's, which crosses from northwestern Africa into western and northern Europe (skimming Madrid, Paris, Copenhagen and Stockholm along the way), swinging across northern Russia and then southeasterly down through Hokkaido across the Pacific to New Zealand. And finally there's the solunar horizon, which runs northwesterly from Lagos on the west African coast up through Tripoli and across the Mediterranean to southern Italy, widening a bit as it heads further north to cut a swath that takes in Rome, Vienna, Warsaw and St. Petersburg.
An extreme SuperMoon is a rare bird indeed. It's one that occurs with the Moon about as close to Earth as it ever gets. The last extreme SuperMoon took place on March 8, 1993. , bringing the Moon only 356,529 kilometers away from our home planet. (That's within 175 kilometers of the Moon's closest approach in centuries.) You remember March '93, don't you? Think back to "The Perfect Storm," aka "The Storm of the Century."
Even an ordinary new or full moon raises powerful tides in Earth's seas, atmosphere and crust; increasing the potential for strong storms, tidal flooding and seismic activity. SuperMoons and eclipses are extraordinary new and full moons, and are accompanied by extraordinary risks of natural calamity.
Eclipses of 2005
a solar eclipse at 19 Aries on April 8th,
effect from April 1 through the 15th. And figure it could come close to rivaling the January 10 extreme SuperMoon in terms of accompanying severe storms, moderate to severe earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Like that earlier alignment, this one is part of a T-Square pattern that includes Jupiter and Saturn (also Venus). freakish weather, flooding, heavy precipitation, tornadoes, thunderstorms and such. And some will have seismic upheaval to deal with as well. much of North and South America and New Zealand, but the full eclipse will be visible only along a path from southeast of New Zealand across the Pacific Ocean to Central America: this is a primary zone of special vulnerability to tidal, seismic and meteorological disturbances from the 1st through the 15th of April. Other zones of vulnerability, as suggested by astro-locality mapping, include the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska down to northern California; the eastern tip of South America; Iceland, Japan, Indonesia and eastern Australia; the Middle East and central Russia; and along a north-south longitudinal from Ireland down through Spain and west Africa. (Be sure to check out the Mars and Saturn horizon and meridian lines on the astro-locality map.) this eclipse falls within the March 12 to April 26 Mercury intersolar phase, which suggests that commerce and transport and infrastructure generally (including the power grid, the Internet etc.) are all particularly vulnerable to disruption during the eclipse
a lunar eclipse at 4 Scorpio on April 24th
The April 24 lunar eclipse marks the last of the current Taurus-Scorpio eclipse series, which began with the Taurus lunar eclipse in the fall of 2002.
Heavy precipitation, flooding and mudslides, dangerous electrical storms - they're all par for the course during this lunar eclipse risk window, in effect April 21-27. Have your emergency kit ready, be prepared for weather-related travel and shipping delays (Mercury being intersolar, after all) . . . you know the drill. And you might want to pay special attention if you're in western North America at the time, since the entire eclipse will be visible from there. Other areas of potential vulnerability, judging from the astro-locality map for this eclipse, include an arc from southern California northeasterly through the Rockies and across Greenland, turning southeasterly through Scandinavia and western Russia down through the Middle East; also along one pair of pole to pole north-south lines roughly from Honolulu through Anchorage in the west, and through Budapest and Johannesburg in the east; and another pair from east-central Greenland down through eastern South America in the west and from Hokkaido down through Melbourne on other side of the globe; and finally along an arc that runs across northern Alaska and northwest Canada before curing down through New York and down to Caracas and Buenos Aires, then coming up through Indonesia and the Philippines to cross Taiwan, South Korea, far eastern China and Siberia.
October 3 a solar eclipse at 10 Libra -
stress window that extends from September 26 through October 10. Peak dates during this period fall on the 2nd, 3rd and 9th, but the whole risk window is bound to be a time of unusually strong storm and seismic activity (including Richter 5+ earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), higher than normal tides, and a risk of floods and mudslides due to heavy precipitation. Such phenomena may be largely focused in the eclipse's zone of visibility (Africa and Europe plus the Middle East and India), and more specifically to the actual eclipse path (across the Iberian Peninsula and through Africa from Algeria to Somalia,Hawaii, Alaska, southern California and eastern Oregon, parts of British Columbia and Alberta; the southwest coastline of South America plus eastern Peru and Colombia as well as western Venezuela; the eastern Caribbean, Canadian Maritimes and Greenland; eastern Scotland and Ireland plus the north Scandinavian coastline; along a longitudinal arc from Capetown through Warsaw; in Asia, from central Mongolia and China through Indochina into Singapore, Indonesia and along the west coast of Australia; and finally along an arc from Vladivostok through Tokyo, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.
a lunar eclipse at 24 Aries on Oct 17th-
With its Sun-Jupiter conjunction, I can see this eclipse as signifying the blazing of new trails, theoretical breakthroughs, important legal proceedings and decisions and major political appointments. But it will surely be accompanied by disturbances in Earth's atmosphere, seas and crust as well. Powerful storms with high winds and heavy precipitation are bound to surge above the normal background level during the October 14-20 eclipse window; along with moderate to severe seismic activity (Richter 5+ quakes and volcanic eruptions) and flooding or mudslides caused by incessant rainfall. Hazards such as these are possible just about anywhere on Earth during this period, but are probably especially likely in the regions where the entire eclipse is visible; namely eastern Asia and Australia across the Pacific to the western coastline of North America. And then there are the astro-locality indicators, which may point to additional areas at special risk between the 14th and 20th of October. Among these are several longitudinal arcs running through Honolulu HI and Barrow AK, over the pole and down to Warsaw, through Capetown and back again; another running up from Bamako, Mali through Dublin, over the pole and down through Wellington, New Zealand; and a third running northward from Lima through Kingston, Jamaica and across eastern Cuba up to Washington, DC onwards through eastern Canada and back over the pole down through Siberia, central Mongolia and China and southward through Saigon and Jakarta. Also rather risky looking are the zones where the eclipse is on the horizon, along an arc northeasterly through the South Pacific, across southern Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi River Valley, the Great Lakes and Ontario; across Hudson Bay, Baffin Island and Greenland; and then cutting southeasterly across Russia through Kazakhstan, and down through Tajikistan, Pakistan and India, crossing over Sri Lanka and out into the Indian Ocean. (The Mars and Saturn horizon lines are worth a look as well -
