Japan Horoscope

Japan Horoscope

On March 11 2011 a 8.9 earthquake and tsunami struck Sendai, Japan causing the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl. We look now at the astrology and the fixed stars in relation to this disaster. The December 2010 Lunar Eclipse was on the massive fixed star Betelgeuse in the Orion Constellation. As mentioned in that blog, the Japan horoscope has Moon conjunct Betelgeuse (13′). By comparison, Australia has Neptune (floods) on Betelgeuse, Egypt has the Sun (president) on Betelgeuse. The Moon in the Japanese chart represents her people, so the masses are directly impacted by the Lunar eclipse.

The Lunar Eclipse activated the Japanese Moon, conjunct by 40′. At the time of the earthquake, Uranus was putting more strain on the people, being square the Japanese Moon (76′). Uranus brings unexpected, shocking events. Uranus also rules earthquakes and the nuclear industry. Update: Fukushima Nuclear Plant Explosion.

With Uranus on the fixed star Scheat, the events can involve catastrophes, especially concerning the ocean and water – tsunami. The Lunar South Node was conjunct the Japanese Moon (03′). I’m using the precession correction value of 102′.

Japan HoroscopeOther transits to the Japan chart worth mentioning:
Pluto opposite Chiron (29′).
Jupiter conjunct Venus (34′).
Chiron conjunct Mercury (04′).
Ceres conjunct MC (78′) quincunx Ceres (09′).
Ascendant conjunct Saturn (25′).

Now to the chart for the earthquake itself, data from USGS [1]. As mentioned above, Uranus is on catastrophic Scheat. Lilith is also on Scheat, and exactly square the Nodes. Lilith the baby killer in this case, the square tearing apart family relationships.

Mercury, the messenger of the Gods is square the Vertex, or destiny. Mercury is on a fixed star called Deneb Kaitos (04′) in the constellation of Cetus, the Sea Monster (the Kraken in Clash of the Titans). Deneb Kaitos gives “misfortune and compulsory change” [2], and “Inhibitions and restraints in every way, psychologically and physically” [3].

There is a major aspect pattern in this earthquake chart called the Fist of God, or Thor’s Hammer. The technical name is the Quadriform aspect configuration. It is the triangle with the red lines. Moon square Neptune, both sesquisquare (135°) Saturn. With a Fist of God, the tension from the square can lead to violence or destruction at the apex planet.

Japan HoroscopeMoon square Neptune puts the population against the ocean, Neptune is the sea god Poseidon. Neptune in hard aspect like this also represents suffering and victims. The Moon is on a major fixed star called Alcyone (02′) in constellation Taurus, part of The Pleiades Star Cluster. The Pleiades are prominent in the Cherokee Prophecies about the major changes ahead for us. “The Pleiades causes bereavement, mourning, sorrows and tragedies” [4].

So the Moon and Neptune focus their energy down on Saturn, the earth, the land. Saturn in mundane astrology rules infrastructure, buildings and property. Saturn also rules the economy, and the Japanese economy was already teetering, this might tip it over. The Fist of God in this mundane chart points to destruction from an act of God. Remember the Ascendant in the earthquake chart is conjunct the Japanese Saturn.

  1. we have a abrupt shift into solar maximus and ‘super moon’. solar maximus woke legions from political tupor; moon is elemental, water, gravity, innondation. Ides of March make perfect battle ground, a weak unprotected earth, forces of nature trump man. expect more until the ingres. Amazing moon can reach beneath ocean to crack the earths crust

    • super-moon = lunal perigee, modern chart 1750-2125, last perigee 8/10/87, my cancer moon son could not sleep, roamed the house early morning hours of quake!

      • He must be an empath, would be interesting to see how the transits effected his chart.

        Personally I believe that we do feel the influence of lunations beforehand, and that could be the case with this SuperMoon. Especially given that it will be opposite Uranus, and square the Lunar Nodes and the December Lunar Eclipse degree.

        • Right Jamie. Also the effects could come a little later. With Uranus opposite, the results are unpredictable. Just what we Astrologers want to hear…..!

      • I was also up very early in the morning and could not sleep; felt very restless. My birthdate is 10/7/58, Libra Sun, Gemini Rising, Leo Moon- feeling more sensitive every day.

        Thanks for all the info here! And bless us all in our awakening!

  2. “The last nail to Japan’s economic coffin. With USD523M and nothing to buy?”

    I posted this on my FB wall 15 hours ago in response to the BBC’s report of an investment firm closing shop the day before.

    The earthquake struck 10 hours ago. My wall sounds eerie now even to me. Nobody made a comment.

      • And here’s another one I posted 10 minutes before that:

        “….Toyota Rav4…3 for $2!”

        I’m just thinking whether to delete these posts. It sounded nasty even to my ears now, thinking about those SUV’s washed inland. At the same time, half of me is arguing against deleting them.

  3. all things we is to have faith in God,
    surely, things here on earth is just passing by…
    but His great love and mercy for us in the eternal life is more than we perceived here on earth…

  4. “We will secure the safety of the people of Japan”. From the news conference by Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan in response to the state of emergency, especially with the nuclear power plant shutdowns. That statement is exactly the Moon in the mundane horoscope.

    • My very quick analysis and interpretation of the Astrological phenomenon that may have attributed to the Japanese Earth Quake and Tsunami catastrophes are:

      We had an intense Winter Solstice conjunct a Full Lunar Eclipse on December 21, 2010 that would keep things rocking and rolling for a long time to come. Lunar Eclipses are the things that set the tone for weather and seismic activity for future lunar cycles to come. The Full Moon Eclipse conjunct the December 21st Winter Solstice was severely afflicted with the planets Mercury (travel, communications and speech and thought patterns), Jupiter (foreign cultures, expansive, large and extreme or excessive), Uranus (Unexpected sudden events, electrical and seismic activity, revolution for freedom, strange phenomenon), and Pluto (explosive atomic energy, the masses, major transformation, destruction, birth, death and regeneration).

      With these planets afflicting the 2010 Winter Solstice (within a degree orb of 2012 Solstice point of alignment) conjunct the 2010 Solstice Full Moon Eclipse you can expect these massive catastrophic events to occur within nature, animal, and people alike……A Revolution for Freedom as we have seen among the masses in Egypt, Libya, Yemen…etc, the extreme flooding like Australia, Volcanoes, birds in massive flocks falling from the skies, fish and marine life dying in masses and now this unbelievable Earthquake and Tsunami. There was last year’s BP oil spill….(that’s another story, but still it’s effects are contributing) Worst case scenario now awaiting Nuclear Melt Downs to begin. That will pull in the Pluto (Plutonium) energy involved. We have to stop drilling into our planet bleeding it to death for oil and gas and cutting down our trees, slaughtering our precious animals on land and sea. Nature will balance it self out ultimately and fight back. The Sun, Moon and planets of this solar system have their own power…..It’s called Mother Nature….As Above, So Below.

      The horoscope of the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan had the Lunar Nodes….(In Indian Astrology, these are the Dragon’s Head and Dragon’s Tail) at an almost exact Square aspect afflicting upon and triggering the point of the last Lunar Eclipse that was on the 2010 Winter Solstice point. Lunar Nodes (also called shadows of the moon) are associated to Eclipses and depending on their relation to the eclipse that occurred it is said can indicate major destructive events. It is important to watch approaching aspects to Eclipses for the coming year and sometimes years to come. If an Eclipse was severely afflicted you can be certain to expect destructive weather patterns and severe pulling on earth’s crust. This was the case for our last Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse for 2010. Another thing to note is that Neptune….ruler of the Sea, was at an almost exact square (afflicting energy) to the Moon at the time of the Tsunami…..This is just another Lunar aspect we see again confirming and interpreting weather. An Earthquake and Tsunami can be considered a Weather Event.

      Neptune is about to enter Pisces, and on it’s cusp, the sign of the Fish and the Sea. With this Square aspect to the moon on the moment of the Earthquake and Tsunami, once again you are in affliction and pull in the Lunar activity triggering and calling upon the energy of our last Eclipse and pull on the Earth, while the Nodes are afflicting the last Lunar Eclipse point of 2010. Our Full Moon on February 18 2011, was at 29 Leo exactly opposite Neptune (the sea) on it’s last leg of Aquarius and we have not yet had our next Full Moon. That will be on the 19th of March. This Full Moon in Virgo will be Opposite Uranus forming a Grand Cross with last years 2010 Winter Solstice and Lunar Eclipse. Around that time expect the Major Unexpected…..It’s not over yet.

      Wake up people of this Planet because this Planet is going to wake us up whether we want to or not. Shake Rattle and Roll, swim with the tide and get ready for a very Turbulent Plane ride.

      If this is Chinese to you, just call it a Japanese Tsunami in the making……This could happen to the United States and expect more major extreme activities and strange phenomena to occur for quite some time ahead.

      • MT: “Wake up people of this Planet because this Planet is going to wake us up whether we want to or not. Shake Rattle and Roll, swim with the tide and get ready for a very Turbulent Plane ride.”

        Thanks, Marian. Interesting analysis. I agree – it’s not over by any means. I’ve been wondering how Neptune moving into Pisces will effect ‘earth changes’ and we don’t have long to wait now.

        • I agree, nice holistic approach, nice writing and I like the focus on the eclipse.

          • Thanks for your complimentary comment Susan……Neptune going into Pisces will naturally effect the oceans, marine life, drug, film and chemical industries. Depending on other planetary aspects to the Transit will determine the effects.

            Lunation aspects to Neptune are important for oceanic changes,Tsunami, heavy rains and flooding, as well as major snow fall amounts throughout the world. You’d have to calculate the Astrogcartography to see the place it will effect during the transits.

            It leaves Pisces for good in January of 2026……We need to be mindful of what happens to our food chain in the ocean and get rid of all toxins that can harm it starting now! Japan is a wake up call. It all has a ripple effect. What falls in the oceans and rivers, go back up into clouds and rain upon our crops…..

            We are in for a bumpy ride…… Pray for the planet..

            Neptune in Pisces can also bring about an increased awareness into Mysticism and expansion into how we see things from an imaginative visual perspective, through art, music, film photography…etc. Perhaps another Beatle type group will be born. There will be more communication via internet with visual on screen….perhaps all phones in the future will have the capacity to visually see who you are talking to…

            Meet George Jetson!

            Remember that cartoon the Jetsons? It was a Sci Fi TV Cartoon. A favorite of mine in the 50’s and early 60’s I think.

          • Thanks Jamie for your compliment. I’m happy to have found your site and can share the astrology knowledge with like minded folks. Your web site and astrological work is fabulous and extremely helpful for inspiring research in the field.

            Let’s hope our intuitive approach to the stars can tip off some of the scientific community so they can combine what we do in order to have a better understanding of what could be happening in seismic and severe weather patterns. Some scientist are already using the planetary approach in prediction earthquakes, volcanoes, and severe weather.

            Scientists, and all mankind for that matter needs to be aware that nature is much more destructive and powerful than any man made thing and can cause havoc when acting out and upon toxic nuclear plants oil refineries, natural gas….etc. Nature will destroy but can rebuild after it cleanses, but when it hits the fan over man made toxic structures the results are devastating. There is no cleansing that takes place….just devastation.

  5. Have a look at the aftershocks!
    earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_big.php

    An early report…

    Japan’s Kyodo News agency said between 200 and 300 bodies were found near Sendai about eight hours after the quake. Officials told the news service that they had lost contact with at least one train traveling in that area, and a ship carrying at least 100 people was said to have been swept out to sea.

    washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/11/AR2011031100293.html?hpid=topnews

    • Susan, most of the coastline is on fire, I think there are going to be thousands of lives lost.

        • Yes, 3am here on east coast Australia. Been at the computer since this story broke, except for feeding the kids and getting them to bed.

          Richard made that statement because the SuperMoon is not till the March 17. But like I replied to Lucy, I still think it may have had an influence given the aspects it will make. Time, like space, is relative.

          • Feeding the kids… very sweet man.
            Yes, that Moon thing is bound to have put tidal pressure on the plates.

            I can’t believe the number of aftershocks!
            They just had another 6+
            Too many to count. Over a 100?
            They must be going crazy from fear.

  6. Residents near nuclear reactor advised to evacuate
    The government has issued an evacuation advisory to people living within a three-kilometer radius of a nuclear power plant in quake-stricken Fukushima Prefecture.

    Government officials said on Friday that no radioactive materials have leaked from the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Number One plant. The government also says the advisory is only a precaution, and is also asking people living within 10 kilometers of the plant to stay indoors.

    The government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says cooling system failure has made it impossible to cool the second reactor after it automatically stopped operating after the earthquake.
    The plant has been declared to be in a state of emergency after the quake caused the technical failure.

  7. I think US west coast will be spared the full effects as the earth’s curve dimminishes some force.

  8. Thanks Lucy, there is a lot of interest in the SuperMoon, it’s getting into the popular media. Getting lots of Google searches coming to to this blog “Japan Earthquake Moon” etc.

    The astrologer who coined the term SuperMoon is Richard Nolle. This is his March forecast: Astropro March 2011 Forecast.

    I just went to his Facebook profile to ask him about it and he had this message:

    “This awful monster quake in Japan is NOT directly connected to the MAR 19 SuperMoon alignment. I feel obliged to point this out because lots of queries have come in on the subject.”

    • “This awful monster quake in Japan is NOT directly connected to the MAR 19 SuperMoon alignment. I feel obliged to point this out because lots of queries have come in on the subject.”

      How can he know that?

      Well… I believe this is to do with the Sun and the changes that are going on in the entire Solar system. For those of you who are a bit brave, not fragile… do read Clif High …
      I’m sorry to say that I do believe this is the beginning….

    • I agree. I think its related to the X class solar flare on the 9th March. The sunspots have been very active in the last two weeks or so and we got a blast yesterday. I photographed an amazing double helix in the sky last night here in Cape Town – can someone remind me how to put this up here???
      I know I go on about electric events but this really is one – ! Plasma bursts are bombarding us with currents which interact with earth. The quake was also in one of the “VIle Vortices” which are areas of electromag weirdness. Earth mag field took a shock yesterday.
      The whirlpool in the pacific now is apparently caused by the same forces which create the spiralling of galaxies! Birkeland currents – which twist like ropes and spiral material around them. I’m prety certain I witness ed a similar effect in cloud yesterday too!
      It is incredible and awful. My god I feel for those people now with now power, no water fires raging, and night falling.
      There have been three other quakes along the 19.5 degree line today. The planetary Merkabah is activated.

  9. Yes, I don’t believe it will harm the US west coast.

    Did any of you notice that whirlpool thing?
    Apparently this is one ‘side-effect’ of EQs.

  10. The Sabian Symbols for the Fist of God Configuration are as follows Saturn 15 degrees : A boat Landing Washed Away. Moon Gemini 00 degree A Glass Bottom Boat Reveals Undersea Wonders. Neptune 29 degrees: Deeply Rooted In The Past Of A Very Ancient Culture, A Spiritual Brotherhood In Which Many Individual Minds Are Merged Into The Glowing Light Of A Unanimous Consciousness Is Revealed To One Who Has Emerged Successfully From His Metamorphosis.
    Well I think these symbols speak for themselves. Later I would like to explore the symbols for the fixed stars associated with this event.
    Remember to round up the symbol degree.

    • do you suspect 00 gemini as first aspect to ingress channels, (echos) aires, soul entering the body? thankyou Melissa for writing and jamie for everything

    • That funny looking symbol next to the Moon in the earthquake chart is for the TransNeptunian planet Sedna. I included it because I have found it may be related to earth changes. It been prominent in a number of charts for major earthquakes. The midpoint of Saturn and Pluto in the chart is 21°30’Scorpio, bang opposite Sedna. As Ken Abrahams pointed out on our Facebook page, the Saturn Pluto midpoint is important when looking at earthquakes. So I’d be interested in the Sabian symbol for Sedna.

      The orbit of Sedna is extremely eliptical, like none other in our solar system. It goes half way out to our nearest star. It’s orbital period is a massive 10,500 years. It will be closest to us in 70 years. Sedna was names after the Inuit goddess of the sea. Sedan and Earth Changes.

      • some people read heaven like a book, books read like heaven, good clues are gems. thankyou sir james….

      • That’s interesting about the Saturn/Pluto midpoint – I’d never heard that before, although it makes sense. Coincidentally, my 2nd house Sun sits at that midpoint, exactly opposite my 8th house Sedna/BM Lilith conjunction. I’ve always been very tuned into certain imminent natural disasters, including Earthquakes. But then again, I’ve also been tuned into other major disasters that weren’t so natural, as in they were man-made.

        Just yesterday (prior to the Earthquake), I posted a comment on Donna Cunningham’s site saying I’d felt strange the last few days, as if I was waiting for something big (not in a good way) about to happen. I hadn’t been able to sleep these past three nights, and my dreams had a recurring disturbing theme. I knew something was up, but exactly what I wasn’t sure. Then when it hit, I knew.

        Now that I know about the Saturn/Pluto midpoint, I’ll have to pay more attention to transits. Hmmmm – I’ve been in a major earthquake, maybe I’ll have to go back and check to see if that point was activated.

        It was terribly sad watching planes and cars float by looking like childrens’ toys. In just a few minutes, so many lives were changed forever. Last night, as I waited for news about a Tsunami Warning in our area, I also pulled up the event chart.

        I knew I could count on you though, for a more thorough interpretation today. Thanks, Jamie.

        • LB: “Just yesterday (prior to the Earthquake), I posted a comment on Donna Cunningham’s site saying I’d felt strange the last few days, as if I was waiting for something big (not in a good way) about to happen.

          Thanks for this LB … I was also having strange feelings. I was trying to explain to my partner (Kiwi talk for husband type person) that for the past 3 days I had felt this weird “heaviness” all over my being. I thought maybe I was making myself sick or something – at 65 you never know what is happening with your body! But weirdly enough, the “heaviness” lifted after the event.
          Mysterious.

          • I also felt much of my apprehension ease when the earthquake hit, although I see what happened as a kind of symptom of larger energies still at play. I guess a lot of people felt it – it is mysterious and also comforting.

            Are you the same Susan who commented on Donna’s post yesterday? If not, that’s a mighty strange coincidence since I replied to comments left by both a Sue and Susan who described having similar feelings.

            Btw, I know what you mean about never knowing what is going on with the bod – at one point, I thought maybe I was getting a migrane!

            • No, not the same Susan.
              😮
              Interesting that you too … “felt much of my apprehension ease when the earthquake hit”! I had not identified these feelings as connected to the build up – until the immediate relief. Although both my partner & I have recently seen intense piezio-electric energies as lights in the dark.
              And I agree that these events are symptomatic of “larger energies still at play.”

            • Have you read Jeremy’s latest post at Chirotic Journal? Nightmares corresponding exactly to events in Japan – the night of.

        • Thanks LB, though I made a mistake with the Saturn-Pluto midpoint. Must have been too rushed yesterday. Still Sedna looks to be important, on the MC in the nuclear plant explosion today.

  11. It is amazing how many different “approaches” there are to using astrology to predict EQs!
    Astrology never ceases to amaze me.
    It always reminds me of that quantum physics law that suggests observing a thing actually effects it!

  12. Jupiter opp Saturn heliocentric – has been known to tie in with quakes for some time – has been phasing into and out of aspect through this time – but, does the above mean that FM is square Japan Moon on Jan eclipse point? – that would look like a strong indicator if so

    as you say Susan, the attention of the observer affects the observation, including the observed – in energetic healing the saying is ‘energy flows where attention goes’ – the same is true on all scales, but, this kind of catastrophic event presents a tough way to learn – so, if astrologers pick up the patterns and gauge the energetic field accurately, this is a good promt to bring some positive thoughts to potential hot spots, in advance – hightening in consciousness levels are at work globally and are all of our observations. attention and thoughts around such that much more involved in the unfolding events

    • Rob – check this out – /www.iris.edu/seismon/ You should see three quakes across the 19.5 degree – five or take half. !!!
      I think I photographed Birkeland currents over Table Mountain last night – the cloud were bizarre. I am at the back of the mountain. If someone can remind me how to I will post my photo, its pretty impressive!

        • I wanna see those pictures!! Post them somewhere else and send us the link, please!

          • I hope you can get the pic and enlarge it enough – click on the thumbnail.
            I watched with incredulity as this formed. There were snake like folds appearing in the cloud which then entwined. They moved pretty quickly so by the time I grabbed my iphone I (I was on the roof of my house!) the cloud was moving. Alas if only I had a camera with a wide angled lens to hand…
            We live behind Table Mountain so it doesn’t look like it. I saturated the colour a bit to get clarity – it was almost dusk so low light but the double helix is clear.

      • uberqueen – that seismic map is pretty impressive and useful – there is a plethora of input which needs collating – the integrated view can be made clearer, the whole dynamic more fully revealed, through geometry as an expression of the both the implicit and emergent dynamic, particularly on nodal points (singularities) and lets not forget that volcanoes are in that matrix as well……this holds true for the EM gravitational dance, the seimic and telluric activity and in astrology as well – the dynamic is visibly re-organising along those points – very cautious to make too much of an extrapolation, but, relative gravitational and EM fluctuations are intimately linked in this so, Solar activity and Lunar tides are feeding in with increasing potential and indicating an exponential component – what this implies is that we aint seen nothing yet – but, a way to get a perspective on this is by remembering that, geometrically and physically its fractal – it is expressing across the field and we are seeing those fractals coming through, scaling, on all levels, right down to the inner sub-atomic – at this latter level ion flow is one link across the scales and is feeding spiral auroras – Birkland currents also surround those flows, energetically efflouresce this side of the event horizon – those unusual cloud patterns and the oceanic vortex scale it up to another level of physical manifestation – we are also coming into an arm of dense ion flow emitting from the GC – astrologically, hot spots that have a longer wavelength (eg eclipses, outer planet conjunctions, squares and oppositions), stars which we know are linked in to these key astrological points (eg. eclipses), that are showing instability, such as Betelguese, or which are connected with catalystic energies, all count in the charts to reveal amplification – the charts also express the intrinsic geometry – and humans are at the midpoint, we can re-balance, our minds are important in this, so the astrology is super-important – we will see our understanding of it, its dynamics change…ok enough, I have a hungry cat to feed 🙂

        • Yes, Thank God/dess for the cats – or in Jamie’s case, the children – to feed, or I suspect we’d not be much IN THE NOW these days. 😉

    • I love what lucy said…”some people read heaven like a book, books read like heaven”!
      Beautiful.

      rob – I agree completely with you. I believe it is better for us to face what is happening.
      These changes will force many people into higher states of consciousness that will inevitably shift away from the current greed-paradigm – and into a way of living that is in harmony with the metaphysical principles that have always governed our temporal hologram, aka life on planet Earth.

      Astrologers are more accustomed to seeing patterns and accepting what is called the ‘yantra rudhana’ in Sanskrit – that means the self-created holograms we all manifest through.
      Thanks to everyone for the intelligent comments.

    Geomagnetic field hit hard for the second time today, storm in progress
    March 11, 2011 11:20 am PT

    image
    theweatherspace.com/news/images/31111f.jpg

    (TheWeatherSpace.com) — A secondary geomagnetic storm signature has developed on the K-Index graphs with storm level (class 5) activity.

    The Earthquake in Japan happened around the same time as the geomagnetic field burst to a K-Index-Class-5 event. There is no way to tell if it was a trigger but ongoing conversations with our lead scientist here at TheWeatherSpace.com have been interesting to say the least.

    “This is a secondary blast to our geomagnetic field and it is quite possible it will lead to another large quake in the world, where though cannot be certain”, Martin said. “Usually these events correlate well with seismic activity, possibly a trigger or ingredient much like moisture is to feed thunderstorm cells in meteorology. There could be many ingredients for the perfect scenario and trigger, this being one of the”.

    Northern lights have been seen as far down as the Upper Midwest during this blast of our geomagnetic field.

    The blast came from one of the highest velocity solar flare blasts since 2005.

    “One more thing to add”, concluded Martin. “The charts in the bz/by/bx graphs crossed at the same time as the quake, leading me to further believe it was a trigger. They are once again crossed. Best I can say is anyone should be prepared worldwide quakes no matter what, they happen sudden and to those without preparations in hand will be the ones that will suffer”.

  16. Three volcanoes erupt almost at the same time after Japan Earthquake

    theweatherspace.com/news/TWS-3_11_2011_threevolcano.html

    (TheWeatherSpace.com) — Two volcanoes in Eastern Russia , Kamchatka and one other in Indonesia, have erupted around the same time as the Japan 8.9-magnitude Earthquake on Friday.

    Meteorologist Kevin Martin is the lead scientist here at TheWeatherSpace.com and explains in his own way what may actually be happening.

    “Waves from the Earthquake have been ringing the planet like bell, causing stress in all sections of the planet”, Martin said. “Imagine a calm magma chamber that just needs one push, even if a few feet. This would be enough to cause instability in the chambers, causing volcanic eruptions in various locations. These three eruptions will not be the only mountains to go and other quakes worldwide will follow as the worldwide faults get disturbed.

    Yuri Yamamoto, a resident from Tokyo, tells TheWeatherSpace.com that Japan’s early warning system gave Tokyo 30 seconds of a warning, proving an advanced system may actually work elsewhere and should be implemented in places like the Western Coast of the United States.

    So it has been interesting to watch history unfolding across the planet, but TheWeatherSpace.com gives our condolences to those lost and the over 88,000 people in Japan that are reported to be missing.

    As for the Tsunami Prediction Center, An amazing job from them as predictions were nearly accurate as in timing and strength of the waves.

  17. Indonesia volcano erupts just hours after massive quake in Japan

    theweatherspace.com/news/TWS-3_11_2011_volcano.html

    (TheWeatherSpace.com) — One of the most active volcanos in Indonesia has erupted, blasting lava and hot gas down the slopes.

    Mount Karangetang is located on Siau, part of the Sulawesi island chain. It erupted in August, killing four people.

    This mountain is along the “Ring of Fire, the volcano chain surrounding the Pacific Basin.

  18. This is a very interesting clip explaining that the Earth is in fact expanding and refuting the theory of suduction-zones. It was pointed out by Clif High the Webbot guy.

    This video is a Neal Adams animation about his theory that the Earth is growing.

    • That’s a great vid, watched it a bit earlier. Makes so much sense I can’t understand why we were not taught that at school.

      • Thanks Jamie, I’m glad you liked the expanding planet vid.
        It did make a lot of sense.
        The question remains … where does the water [oceanic] come from?

    Solar numerics, Warning for Indonesia (se asia plate – sw pacific plate boundary region), and addendums….

    November 8, 2010

    The 26,000 year solar winding (magnetic pressure) cycle, which is displayed to humans (and other life) here on terra in the form of the ‘sun spot cycle’ that is variously considered to be either 22 years or 11 years in length begins with the now, somewhat notorious, 87 day magnetic winding cycle.

    This cycle is responsible for the volcano problems now facing the Indonesian populace. As forecast from the August 1, 2010 solar disruption, the Indonesian volcano eruptions and earthquakes commenced on schedule in advance of the October 27th day of the completion of the most recent 87 day ‘bit’ component to the larger cycle.

    The next 87 day bit on this cycle completes on January 22, 2011. For many reasons, i suspect that the volcanic activity will increase (along with earthquakes and really strange weather) nearly 2/two weeks before that day. The ‘anticipation’ of the actual day of the winding lap (Jan 22) is due to the lack of release of the magnetic pressures affecting the sun, as well as the continuous build up of magnetic pressures here on earth.

    The thinking is that as we progress further into each of these 87 day cycles, the amount of ‘anticipation’ and ‘carry over’ from previous cycles will increase. So as an instance, August 1 of this year produced only 5 days of geomagnetic affective actions, where the beginning of the next cycle that occurred on October 27 is *still* producing activity in the Indonesian islands. So as we progress into 2011, i suspect that the activity will join together at both ends such that between one cycle and the next full 87 day sun polar ‘lap’ cycle, the activity, with volcanoes and earthquakes and such, will continue without significant decrease.

    It is my OPINION and personal conclusion that the most likely cycle for a complete 87 days of earth activity will be the cycle beginning on July 15th, 2011.

    The thinking also is, that as each cycle is encountered in our progression through 2011, the amount of intensity of earth activity will escalate. Here at HPH we have some internal debate about how rapidly the escalation will progress, however the next 2/two cycles, that is to say, the ones starting on January 22, 2011, and April 19, 2011 will ‘tell the tale’. That is to say, we should be able to plot/chart the activity levels of volcanoes and earthquakes from October 2010 through to June and then project the trend line for increased energies impacting our planet into late 2011 and 2012.

    It is also our conclusion that the 26,000 years (approximately) larger solar cycle has, and is showing, definitive harmonics within the solar magnetic cycle. As the planets spread themselves out in a harmonic fashion, it should come as no surprise that cycles within the sun caused by the planets would also exhibit such harmonics. Soooo…the 26,000 year cycle has a 5th harmonic of 5115 years ….which is…guess what? the length of the Mayan Long Count calendar! And other harmonics (3rds, 8ths), as well as this 5th harmonic ALL show climate and crustal changes here on earth (historically). It is also our conclusion that these harmonics are manifesting in a scalar fashion and can be found down to the level of mere days.

    So the warning to the residents of the Indonesian Islands, the Malay peninsula, and SE pacific plate regions in general is that this part of planet earth is currently demonstrating vulnerability to these solar effects, and as the solar effects will continue to escalate in frequency, duration, and intensity, changes to life patterns, locations, and requirements in the region should be considered. There will be many reasons that local officials and governments will NOT want to consider this warning, and my theory/conclusions. And i presume that they will argue very fiercely that my conclusions are incorrect. The next year will settle any such disputes. Any officials in the region are invited to contact me should they feel the need.

    Next few bit days in the sun magnetic lap cycle:
    January 22, 2011 (expect earth reaction from January 7 onward).
    April 19, 2011 (expect earth reaction from February 25th onward)
    July 15th…continuous impacts from this point through 2013.

  20. the mayans did triangulate, that is figure the GC from venus and earth. the long count, 500 years has the GC in line w/ our solar system. this is important because the kuiper belt, pluto and thousands of dust, ice, copper space chunks are near enough to send 1 over earth-ways…

  21. Jamie…think I told you I am a cancerian and since last year when the the sun eclipses the moon it’s really, really bad for me…I read on a horoscope website (think Susan Miller) that I only have one bad eclipse left for this year…think the date is 1st July…so, with all the above talk about the moon, now am wondering if this eclipse on or about 1st July will be bad for the Earth???
    Also…think there will be “more” death re: Japan…like nuclear explosion…dunno…also, don’t like the “military” talk against Lybia..US want control of another muslim country…Barb

    • There are two solar eclipses mid year, 1 June and 1 July, both polar eclipses. Not sure what that means yet but will be researching them and posting about them.

      • Hi Jamie…just thinking..Rob had blogged that some people think the Mayan calender actually ends this year, not next year, think the date given this year is 28 Octorber 2011…& I already know that the date 11.11.11 is important for “twin flames reuniting” (twin flames are in Revelations too)…so started to think that if eclipse July 1st is “bad”..could all be leading to something.
        I can’t believe what has happened in Japan…it’s a nightmare…Barb

        • Can you elucidate on twin flames in revelations Barb please?
          I don’t get the 11.11.11 thing – sure I can see all the ones, but isn’t the date 11.11.2011 which adds up to an 8? I don’t do numerology so can someone explain how this is so important?

          • Hi Uberqueenofwands,
            Last year when I started looking into twin flames it was ‘general knowledge” that twin flames reuniting was ‘sacred’ etc etc and had to do with “work’ for humanity, not to be “romantised”…& had to do with leading up to Judgement day or around that time etc…so I got a copy of the bible, but couldn’t find the stuff I had heard about…then one website told me that Alpha & Omega in Revelations refers to twin flames & “What therefore God hath joined together let no man put asunder” and this means great karma will befall anyone who tries to come between twin flames. There will be more in Revelations but I can’t see it, I need someone to point it out to me…like I didn’t know Alpha & Omega was in reference to twin flames!! I know Adam & Eve, Jesus & Mary, Isis & Osiris are twin flames.
            All the twin flame websites say the number 11 is relevant to twins, like they may meet on the 11 th day of the month.But what I also came across was spiritual websites going on about what is happening in astrology, the eclipses, and that it leads to 11.11.11 an important date for twins reuniting, but they don’t say what will actually happen on this date.
            Oh, and I think Twins are mentioned in muslim religion, trying to remember, think a twin flame gave Moses his commandments, not sure.
            And Pluto talks about twin flames.
            Am still looking into it all, trying to work it out. Isn’t this Japanese disaster just terrible? Now Queensland and New Zealand disasters look ‘small’…Barb

          • Hi Uberqueenofwands,
            if you google:

            “Mary Magdelene twin flames”

            Click on about the 3rd one down, entitled “Light Portal 10 10 10 The sacred union of twin flames”
            website lightworkers.org

            There is a channelled message there…but note, it mentions “Christs Child, code name “Thamur.”
            Nostradmus & Edgar Cayce mention a “new breed” of humans. Thats what I think “Twin Flames Reuniting” is really about, creating a new race…am trying to find out…see, humans are such a violent race, look at Iraq, 1 million dead and 10 million injured, these “God created disasters” are nothing compared to mad made disasters & future ones…the “new race’ will have empathy & telepathy, not sure what else.
            Barb

            • Many thanks Barb, I will look further. I did a workshop with Judy Hall recently while in the Uk and she reckoned a twin flame was the one who just aided you to get on with the work you were sent to do and presented no obstacles – so perhaps a more benign kind of human!

        • barb – there are more than one calenders, working with the same input, going at the same time – their spacing and harmonics show the culminative process of the calender ending 28 Oct 2011 and it becoming grounded 21 Dec 2012 – the interim is the period in which we have to adjust, our chance to start getting it right – the final period of the former calendar started March 9th – through this time we replay all the dynamics of the previous periods within the great count (26k years!) within the period up to 28 Oct – this is event acceleration that makes it seem as if time is going faster – the way to handle it is to stay grounded, centered – this is our insurance against getting caught up in the outer dynamaics – it also helps the earth…

          • ” the way to handle it is to stay grounded, centered – this is our insurance against getting caught up in the outer dynamaics – it also helps the earth…”

            Well said! Thank you.

            • Bach flowers also help. Be sure to have them on hand for stress and panic relief.

          • Rob…I am TRYING!!…gawd, do you think having a red wine at 1.15pm is acceptable???
            Sod it…am having one…noone will know…apart from all the people on this blog!!!
            And Rob…have been trying to eleminate anger / fear /control…to be centred & just have love go thru me…I get it right sometimes & it is a ‘wonderful” feeling…will keep trying…going to get a red wine now…Barb

  22. Japan earthquake: nuclear disaster feared after power plant ‘explosion’
    Japan is battling to avoid a nuclear disaster after an explosion at a power plant in the aftermath of the country’s biggest earthquake and devastating tsunami.

    telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/8377506/Japan-earthquake-nuclear-disaster-feared-after-power-plant-explosion.html

    A huge blast has caused further damage at one of two nuclear power plants which the Japanese government had placed under a state of emergency, compounding fears of a nuclear meltdown.
    A loud blast was heard at the plant in Fukushima following a series of aftershocks. White smoke was soon after seen billowing over the plant, 150 miles north of Tokyo.
    Several workers were reported to have been injured.
    Japanese TV began warning people living near Fukushima nuclear power station to stay indoors. Residents were being told to turn off air-conditioners and not to drink tap water. People going outside were also been told to aviod exposing their skin and to cover their faces with masks and wet towels.
    Prime minister Naoto Kan had earlier warned that a radiation leak might occur at one of the reactors at the Daiichi facility at Fukushima, which is close to the stretch of coast that took the full force of the tsunami triggered by Friday’s 8.9-magnitude quake.

    • I just can´t figure why anyone would build a nuclear reactor in such a hot spot. We ( humans) just love playing with fire, don´t we. The world is getting pretty scary.

  23. Thank you for your site.
    I want to participate, but it’s very difficult for me: is it possible to write in french???? (I’m learning English)….
    I write from Brussel and I am an astrologer pasioned from mundane astrology, fixed stars and mythology ((and also homeopathy)

    Thank you for your response
    Chana

    • Thanks Chana, have you tried using Google Translate? I have it installed on my browser, Google Chrome, which automatically translated for me.

      Merci Chana, avez-vous essayé d’utiliser Google Translate? Je l’ai installé sur mon navigateur, Google Chrome, qui traduit automatiquement pour moi.

  24. Hi Jamie…Sunday 7.59am…am watching news…it is SO bad..9500 people in one town “missing”..& if the plant explodes they said it will take Japan and half asia off the “map”.

    But on the bottom of tv screen there was a news report:
    “Israel…5 settlers murdered in bed”
    Don’t know what that is about…just thought “hope Israel / Middle East conflict does not go off now….thats all we need?” Barb

    • A Palestinian murdered an Israeli settler family it think. There is an over flow of emotion at the present and with all that Pisces a lot of displaced/disowned stuff floating around. i think a lot of souls are losing the plot now… I keep thinking about those poor people in Japan who trapped, marooned as dark falls with no light, fuel, drinking water etc. Looking at the footage and pictures it is shocking. I ‘ve just been trawling the aspects for the next few months, cardnal squares, eclipses, uranus ingress to Aries etc etc – its all going to get even more intense.

  25. I just checked out the pictures at photobucket. That is beautiful yet crazy. Is this nature made? Any chance of it being man made? Tesla was sure that we could manipulate the earth´s vortexes…

    • I doubt it – If you study electric universe/plasma theory you’ll understand that weather is an electrically activated phenomena – essentially, electric forces create form in plasma – liquid and gases constitute a plasma and clouds come under that category as does gas in space. Plasma is the 4th state of matter and constitutes 90% of the universe.
      I’ve been watching clouds with fascination for a couple of years and have seen some amazing sights, notable asperatus clouds and other bizarre things! They have appeared in areas I know to be electromagneticaly “weird” such as the Vale of Pewsey in Wiltshire where most crop circles from.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Helix_Nebula – This is identical to my double helix clouds – so above so below and I would say the currents which formed the galaxy are the same kind which formed the clouds on a much smaller scale.
      HAARP may be trying to influence the weather but they can’t influence what goes on in the universe above earth’s surface. There’s a lot more to clouds than we understand and if you are lucky enough to be in sensitive spots/teluric spots of the earth – Volcanoes for instance – you’ll see some amazing stuff! Like lightning COMING OUT OF VOLCANOES – foxnews.com/story/0,2933,513277,00.html and sprites – or plasma phenomena /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)
      I have seen – along with a few others, brilliant blue light shooting out of Silbury HIll, Woodborough Hill and areas of Cape Town. if any of these are man made, well all I can say is that they are wonderful! Watch the skies!

    EARTHQUAKE WARNING FROM RUSSIAN INSTITUTE of PHYSICS of the EARTH
    Posted by Real News Reporter on March 12th, 2011

    A new report released today in the Kremlin prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Institute of Physics of the Earth, in Moscow, is warning that the America’s are in danger of suffering a mega-quake of catastrophic proportions during the next fortnight (14 days) with a specific emphasis being placed on the United States, Mexico, Central America and South American west coast regions along with the New Madrid Fault Zone region.

    This report further warns that catastrophic earthquakes in Asia and the sub-continent are, also, “more than likely to occur” with the 7.3 magnitude quake in Japan today being “one of at least 4 of this intensity” to occur during this same time period.

    Raising the concerns of a mega-quake occurring, this report says, are the increasing subtle electromagnetic signals that are being detected in the Earth’s upper atmosphere over many regions of the World, with the most intense being over the US Western coastal and Midwest regions.

    Important to note are that Russian and British scientists are at the forefront of predicting earthquakes based on these subtle electromagnetic signals and have joined in an effort to put satellites in space to detect more of them.

    More ominously in this report are Russian scientists confirming the independent analysis of New Zealand mathematician and long-range weather forecaster, Ken Ring, who predicted the deadly Christchurch quake and this week issued another warning of a quake to hit on or about March 20th.

    Ring explains his methodology for predicting earthquakes as follows:

    “The planets very much affect the earth, indirectly, by having an effect on the Sun. Some planets are very large. If the Sun was a basketball the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn would be the size of grapefruits, and the Earth would be, on that scale, the size of a peppercorn.

    Jupiter and Saturn cause extra tides on the Sun when they get on either side of the Sun (as with Moon – Earth-Sun when the moon is full) and when these gas giants get on the same side as the Sun, (as with Earth -Moon – Sun when the moon is new). These greater solar tides become sunspot activity and solar flares and can be understood as akin to the increase in tides caused by the Moon when it too gets alongside Earth or opposite Earth.

    At the moment we have Jupiter and Saturn on either side of the Sun and creating a tug of war with Earth in the middle. That started last September and will continue until about May. In September the Earth was right in line with Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun too.

    That’s why there were several 7+ earthquakes around, it wasn’t just us. For instance there was one in Pakistan on the same day as Christchurch. This Jupiter/Saturn alignment continues until about May, and the Earth comes back into line as well in March. It is why there may be an extreme event, perhaps a large earthquake, around 20 March, which is when the Moon may be again in a trigger position.”

    According to this report, however, where Ring is correct in assessing blame for our Earth’s earthquakes on the Sun and Planets, his substituting of Perigean Spring Tides (also known as King Tides) for the low pressure systems associated with them may be incorrect.

    The mention in this report of massive low pressure systems being associated with catastrophic earthquakes is especially dire to the United States Midwestern region, which even today is continuing to be pounded by horrific rainfall amounts, and most especially impacting the New Madrid Fault Zone State of Arkansas which has suffered over 800 earthquakes in the past 6 months alone.

    Equally in danger, this report continues, is the South American Nation of Bolivia which has, likewise, suffered catastrophic low pressure system storms that in the past week have killed over 52 people.

    Most ominous in this report, though, is its warning that the fault-riddled State of California may be about to suffer its most catastrophic earthquake in decades as new reports for this region show the mass death of millions of fish [photo bottom left] is now occurring, and just like the mass stranding of whales on New Zealand beaches days prior to the February 22nd destruction of Christchurch.

    Making the situation for our Planet even grimmer are the reports that our Sun is continuing to spew forth massive solar flares, the latest warned to hit our Earth today or tomorrow thus prompting the Hermanus Space Weather Warning Centre (SWWC) to issue a Solar Flare warning for the Southern Hemisphere.

    Interesting to note in all of these events is the United States Army announcing this week that it is holding a rare training event involving the US Military, the CIA, Canadian officers, US Treasury and State departments, the US Agency for International Development, the Defense Threat Readiness Agency and the International Red Cross between March 21-25 at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and which should the worst happen they will certainly be prepared for it.

    As this report concludes, that as of yet, “no firmly reliable” method for predicting earthquakes has been scientifically recognized, it is well worth noting the too many to be ignored anomalous coincidences leading up to catastrophic mega-quakes are breaking out all over the World and should only be ignored at ones peril.

    In other words, it is always best to be prepared should disaster strike, wherever the warning comes from.

    • I checked out the Institute, it seems valid but the article may have been badly edited?
      There’s plenty of evidence to support the mag field anomalies. There are areas known as Vile Vortices where our mag field is highly variable.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Sea
      The area where the Japanese quake occurred seems to be in one such vortex. These would be where the magnetic fields are open to allow exchanges from the cosmos.

      • Yep, seems like a valid technique but there has not been much success in pinpointing times, only regions.

        • We have to look much further afield – Soft gamma repeater in Sagittarius for instance – according to electric theory, a current can travel indefinite distance. See
          SGR 1806-20 wikipedia.com This page explains how a flash from this magnetar at the GALACTIC CENTRE, Sagitta, sent the impulse which shot through our mag field and caused the 2004 tsunami.
          I have a pet theory maybe something will shoot from Ophiucus, which is also near the GC after all the story is of Asclepius holding back two snakes/Birkeland currents/twin flames since Zeus flung a thunderbolt to stop humans becoming immortal… maybe the time approaches!

          Paul La Violette describes the 2004 blast coming from the arrow which is Sagitta, perhaps deflected through Scorpio before it arrived here – see the arrow in the glyph etc etc
          Look at the Red Cross (cardinal red cross) on the Tarot card of judgement. I think that red cross refers to the Grand cross of 2012… maybe the Cardinal Cross…
          Anyway, some of the stars as we know, increase their intensity/brilliance without warning and outside what are accepted as “normal” timescales. Most astronomers are still using the thermo nuclear/gravity based models for stars but the actual facts belie that!
          I don’t know where to look for updates on what is happening at the GC except there are two monitors – LIGO in the US and one other (can’t remember the name) which is Japan based I think. These detect SGWs – Super Galactic waves. I ‘ll google around and see what I can find! it seems anyway that the one in 2004, although detected, took 44 hours to get to our mag field and the detectors were technically out of service at the time. I’ll google La Violette and see if he shads any light. I don’t think the SGR 1806-20 connection is a coincidence. There could well be a connection to it and the solar output.

  27. Scary as hell, but thanks for posting this. I´m making sure I have mega amounts of water and canned food at home. I live in on Mexico´s west coast. The beach is about 30 minutes away from home, and we have had dead fish and whales on the shores these past weeks. If anyone out there believes in praying, i think now is the time to do it.

  28. Thank you claudia. It is important to be prepared.

    The dead fish & whales is inttriguing.
    There is a theory that ….

    According to Science Daily.com, sea creatures such as sharks, crabs, salmon, and sea turtles not only use magnetic fields to navigate, but also to detect their prey. So it is entirely possible that some of the recent deaths of not only fish, but sea animals like starfish and dolphins are due to changes in the Earth’s magnetic fields.

    Could the Earth’s Magnetic Fields Be Causing the Die-Off of Thousands of Birds?
    The Goethe-Universitat study revealed that if birds could not see the magnetic field when migrating, they lost their “bearings” and could hurt themselves or even die. NASA reported in 2008 that there was a “massive breach” in the Earth’s magnetic field, detected by THEMIS spacecraft. Solar wind can flow through this breach, causing enormous geomagnetic storms. It is very possible that such a geomagnetic storm is responsible for the current deaths of thousands of birds across the planet.

    Magnetic storms can cause many different phenomena to occur. Not only do birds, such as the reported blackbirds, pelicans, penguins and eagles, lose their bearings and fall dead from exhaustion and hunger, but radio transmissions can be lost, there can be radiation from too much solar power, and high-energy charged particles can bombard the Earth due to the breach in the magnetic “shield” wrapping the planet.. Magnetic storms can also trigger changes in the Earth’s crust, which may lead to increases in landslides, mudslides, earthquakes, and volcano eruptions.

  29. Earthquake shifts Japan eight feet from previous location
    March 12, 2011 1:35 pm PT
    TheWeatherSpace.com
    – By Jim Duran – Staff Writer
    – Article Editor and Approved – Ron Jackson

    (TheWeatherSpace.com) — Reports from agencies say that the Japan quake moved the island eight feet, also affecting the Earth’s axis.

    Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, told TheWeatherSpace.com that one GPS station moved eight feet and that a map from the Geospatial Information Authority is showing the shift is consistent. Japan has officially moved eight feet from where it once was before the quake.

    The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the quake shifted the planet on its axis by four inches, or ten centimeters.

    During the Chile quake in 2009, Earth’s rotation also sped up. It is likely this is what happened during the Japan quake as well.

  31. 10.59am Sunday
    Jamie..I am watching channel 7 news…a japanese journalist flew a plane to check damage…he came back and reported that “town after town after town has “GONE”…and some towns are completely under water.
    Channel 7 news readers are asking “how come the military / governement have not surveyed the damage, it’s taken a reporter to do it?

    I feel just awful…can’t cope with this…Barb

    • barb – as an empath you can do something to both help yourself and others like yourself here – I feel it too, but, I also feel the connections that empaths have are stronger and we can work with this for the greater good, together – take a moment to sit comfortably and breathe – bring yourself into the heart – find a radiant energy of love in this place, you know you have it, and let this fill you – let this help you center and if/when you can, feel this as a connection with the great community of empathic people who are resonating with the world – your heart energy like mine and all of us is joined with theirs, and is clear, like the highest trust – this will bring a strong unified field of powerful centering and healing energy into the world – just breathe and, very importantly, don’t try sending anything, just know the connection is there and keep to your own heart center – we are all in this together, so, if you find yourself becoming overwhelmed by the feelings these events are bringing up, tell us, but do try this – if it brings more difficulty then stop and perhaps take some food and clear mineral water – it will help us to connect and help you to release the inner pressure that the feelings bring….I hope this will help you

      • Rob…you have just brought tears to my eyes!…need to go blow my nose…Barb

          • Rob,
            Can I have a red wine for your too????
            (Note to Jamie: if you wake up tomorrow morning and find a heap of wierd blogs from me just think , “Barb’s been on the red wine…again…” and delete any embarrasing ones for me will you ,love???)
            Hey Rob…been googling Edgar Cayce predictions…gawd…by his predictions something is going to happen to California, think earthquake…but he talks about volcanoes & earthquakes and the earth being shifted off its axis. Have you read his stuff?
            Barb
            PS My nose is all clear now.

          • Hi Rob…since last year this sppiritual website I visit has been channelling messages predicting earthquakes & that the lost city “Atlantis” would rise up again from the ocean, I thought “yeah right”…this morning I saw on the Yahoo news that the city “Atlantis” had been discovered!!!
            Things are SO wierd at moment…Barb

            • Richard Freund, the archeologist leading the research that has come up with this latest find, has perhaps more cudos than other researchers who have made ‘finds’ in recent years – so the outlook is interesting – his find ties in with Plato’s writings perhaps better than any other discovered cities beneath the sea as the greek put the lost city off the straights of Gibraltar – Plato put the date at 11k yrs ago at which time the sea levels rose through rapid global warming and cataclysmic events in combination – there are many many cities down there – nothing weird here really, just, whats been literally submerged emerging again – outer reality is often catching up with what has been known inwardly well before-hand…..watch this space

            • Rob..well the channelled messages I read said the Earth’s surface would be completely changed, so that Atlantis could rise up…so wondering if Japan is “nuked”….by the way, a lot of those channellings come from aliens/ET’s!!…Barb

      • Hi Rob…you live in the UK don’t you?…if so, where?…I used to live in North Wales…am now in Melbourne, Barb

    • Completely agree with Rob…don’t soak it up. It can give you chest pains in an instant.

  32. Omigods…there are 55 nuclear plants in Japan…they said if one explodes that Japan & half Asia will be wiped off the map…well, if ONE explodes, won’t the other 54 explode too?…whats the damage then?
    Barb

  33. To my mind, this somewhat validates the expanding planet theory – which was shown in the YouTube clip (see above) recommended by Clif High.

    Quake shifted Earth 4 inches on its axis
    WASHINGTON: The massive earthquake that shook Japan and triggered a huge tsunami appears to have shifted the Earth on its axis and moved an island of Japan, a media report said Saturday.

    Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist at the US Geological Survey , told CNN: “At this point, we know that one GPS station moved (8 feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass.”

    Reports from an Italian institute estimated that Japan earthquake shifted Earth on its axis by as much as 4 inches, CNN said.

    The earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale rocked Japan Friday and spawned a tsunami that slammed into the northeastern coast, leaving about 1,000 people dead.

    Shengzao Chen, a geophysicist, explained that the quake occurred as the Earth’s crust ruptured along an area about 400 km long by 160 km wide, as tectonic plates slipped more than 18 metres.

  34. Japan Fallout Won’t Rival Chernobyl’s

    Even if the Japanese nuclear plant damaged in the earthquake goes into full meltdown, it is unlikely to cause environmental fallout anything on the scale seen after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, scientists said.

    “As long as there’s no meltdown of the fuel rods, you’re in good shape,” said Kirby Kemper, a nuclear physicist at Florida State University. But if pressure from gases in the nuclear core builds up, “a crack could appear in the containment vessel and release radiation,” he said.

    Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, situated about 150 miles north of Tokyo, was shaken by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake Friday. A tsunami and aftershocks also hit the area.

    A portion of the No. 1 reactor’s fuel rods has become exposed due to a failure of the cooling system. Tepco officials have been pumping seawater with boron in a last-ditch effort to bring temperatures down to prevent an outright meltdown. The boron helps neutralize some of the radiation.

    “I would describe this measure as a Hail Mary pass,” said Ken Bergeron, a physicist and former scientist at the Sandia National Laboratories, where he worked on nuclear-reactor accident simulation. “If the containment doesn’t survive, we have a worst-case scenario (of a meltdown).”

    Tepco has said the containment is intact.

    Fukushima Daiichi has six reactors, all built in the 1970s, and three were operating when the quake happened. The No. 1 unit, the oldest and smallest of the reactors, appears to be the main source of the problems.

    A nuclear reactor produces electricity by heating up the radioactive material in its core, which then heats water to produce steam. That steam is used to turn turbines that produce electricity. To shut down a reactor, safety valves are opened to release the steam and water is used to then to cool down the reactor core.

    The core can overheat if part of it has been exposed above the water level for some time. Pellets of radioactive material are arranged into long rods of stainless steel that are kept in cylindrical arrays, which are then submerged in water. If the temperature is high enough, the core slumps to the bottom of the reactor vessel and melts through it and onto the floor of the containment unit.

    Loss of cooling water resulted in a near meltdown of the Three Mile Island reactor in Pennsylvania in 1979, the worst nuclear incident in U.S. history.

    The Fukushima Daiichi No. 1 reactor has a better “containment system than Chernobyl but on the scale of most reactors in this country, it’s not as strong as most of them,” Bergeron said in a Saturday conference call with other U.S. nuclear scientists to discuss the situation.

    The Tepco reactor has been shut down so no nuclear reaction is taking place. “What you have to worry about is the decay heat that is still in the core that will last for days,” Bergeron said. “To keep the decay heat in the uranium from melting the core, you have to keep water on it.”

    The conventional methods for keeping the core in water have failed, “so they are using some very unusual methods,” Bergeron said.

    In the wake of the earthquake, the back-up generators that are used to pump water into the reactor stopped working so back-up batteries were brought in. Those batteries weren’t designed to last very long. “We don’t know exactly how they are getting enough water at the core,” he said.

    Another scenario is that high temperatures can cause “high speed rusting” by the water around the tube. This would convert zirconium into zirconium oxide and release hydrogen. Hydrogen is a flammable.

    An explosion Saturday that blew off the roof and walls of a secondary-containment structure around the reactor could have been caused by a buildup of hydrogen. Bergeron said hydrogen combustion typically doesn’t occur in containment, but this reactor had to be vented to ease pressure.

    “The problem is you don’t know exactly what is happening,” said Robert Alvarez, senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies.

    Thousands of residents within a 20-kilometer radius of the reactor have been evacuated as a precaution. But Dr. Kemper of Florida State University said in a separate interview that in the event of a large-scale radiation leak, people should barricade themselves into buildings and seal the windows until evacuation crews arrive.

    The specter of huge environmental fallout on the scale of Chernobyl is unlikely, though.

    The Chernobyl reactor used carbon to slow down neutrons, a key part of the fission reaction. In that disaster, a fire ignited the carbon and created radioactive soot that was carried afar by winds.

    The nuclear core in many modern reactors, including the ones in Japan, is enclosed by a steel containment vessel. Today’s reactors also use water instead of carbon to slow down neutrons, so there is no big danger of the emanation of radioactive soot from the Fukushima plant.

    A full meltdown at the Japanese facility would still release radioactive gases, but those tend to dissipate in the atmosphere. For example, there was a small amount of radiation released in the 1979 Three Mile Island disaster in Pennsylvania, but post-release assessments suggested it didn’t have any real health or environmental impact. About half of the core melted during the early stages of that accident.

    If the Japanese nuclear core were to melt, certain radioactive materials, such as iodine, strontium and cesium, would also be released. These particles are one-quarter the size of a grain of salt and can be carried by winds. The larger the grains, the more quickly they would fall out of the air.

    Dr. Kemper noted that the wind tends to blow west to east in Japan, and so a good deal of the radioactive particles would drift out to sea. Consequently, there probably wouldn’t be much fallout in Japan’s densely populated areas to the south.

    Unlike an accident that releases chemical toxins, a nuclear-plant disaster has one advantage: Radiation levels can constantly and precisely be measured.

    Since the signing of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1996, various countries have put in place devices that can monitor radiation levels. So if there was any significant wind-borne fallout from the Japan plant, it would likely get noticed quickly.

    But in the area surrounding the Japanese facility, the effects of a full-blown meltdown would likely linger. “The cleanup would go on for a year or two,” Dr. Kemper said.

  35. Thanks again susan for your post. This is certainly comforting. I trust that the Japanese are smart enough to bring everything under control.

    That said:

    Does anyone knoe how far inland the tsunami went? Was it several kilometers?

  36. ok–they have just announced that apparently has been a meltdown. Uranus at his best…

  37. Since it took a Japanese journo to fly a plane & take stock of the actual damage….and Kevin Rudd has demanded a briefing from the Japanese Government re: nuclear plant…..can we TRUST the Japenese government in telling us the real risk & what is actually going on???
    Barb

    • Japan is not Libia. I´m certain that Japanese are highly intellectual, cultured people. They´re prepared and ready to do what must be done. If that fails, then nothing else CAN be done. From what i see, they´re doing their very best to stop whatever is going on in there. Besides, I don´t think they´re going at it alone. Certainly there are specialist from around the world helping out.
      We can only watch and wait. And pray. and send good vibes–which I trust the japanese are also doing.

  38. Hi Jamie…I just came across something on the internet accidently…remember the Nostradamus prediction that the residents of the “Garden City” will be forced to “drink poisoned water (sulfur)”…well, I just googled to find out if radiation leak has “sulfur” in it…and I came across a Wikipedia website…entitled ”

    lo (moon)

    I didn’t understand it all ( or not much!!!)..but, it said “volcanoes produce plumes of sulfur”

    Just thinking…is there a connection between ” lo moon”…volcanoes and poisonded water?….check it out…if you have the time!…Barb

  39. Jamie…my son, a Virgo, flies to Thailand on Wednesday night…think that is 16th?…there is a full moon, one site said 19th another gave another date…gawd…is my son going to be okay???…Barb (pissed)

    • Yes, involving local asc, saturn, venus and jupiter plus a finger of fate with Mars, saturn and the local asc.

  40. Piers Corbyn: Massive Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Were Triggered by Solar Action

    [I really don’t like the sound of Alex Jones’ voice, but this Piers Corbyn fellow is quite interesting.
    Start in the middle – like around 6. ]

    • This is interesting…the mayan believed this too. They studied the sun´s flairs and came to the conclusion that this year, and the following would have the worst flair in thousands of years..therefore, the world would have massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, etc..

      • The scientists are saying the same thing too, increase solar activity peaking “in July of 2013” solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/predict.shtml

  41. All things considered, i think it´s best if we move inland and to higher ground while this whole business passes. And to barb i´d say…life is what what happens to you when you´re busy making other plans ( in the words of john Lennon). Will your son be alright? Who´s to know. Will he be alright if he stays at home? Who´s to know? Thousands of people died in japan, but millions of people didn´t.
    I´ve been through an 8 point earthquake and I´m still here.
    There are so many other things that one needs to consider aside from astrology–the mind is a powerful tool, and so is faith.

  42. Monster aftershock could strike within days

    smh.com.au/environment/monster-aftershock-could-strike-within-days-20110313-1bt2p.html

    NORTH-EASTERN Japan can expect another monster earthquake large enough to trigger a tsunami within days, the head of the Australian Seismological Centre says.

    The director, Kevin McCue, said there had been more than 100 smaller quakes since Friday, but a larger aftershock was likely.

    ”Normally they happen within days,” he said. ”The rule of thumb is that you would expect the main aftershock to be one magnitude smaller than the main shock, so you would be expecting a 7.9.

    ”That’s a monster again in its own right that is capable of producing a tsunami and more damage.”

    The Japanese quake was the result of a process called thrust faulting. A piece of the Earth’s crust broke away at the juncture of the Eurasian and Pacific plates and was thrust underneath the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido.
    The US Geological Survey estimated the quake moved the Japanese coast about 2.4 metres.

    ”It basically pushed the sea floor up and down on opposite sides of the fault by 10 metres, causing the tsunami,” Dr McCue said. ”It is a sudden rupture that has occurred, but it has occurred because the two plates are converging at about eight centimetres a year and have been for about 100 years. That eight metres is released suddenly when the plate snaps and breaks and produces the earthquake.”

    Japan’s last earthquake on this scale was in 1923, when the magnitude 7.9 Kanto quake killed more than 100,000 people in and around Tokyo and Yokohama.
    The latest Japanese disaster is unrelated to the quake that devastated Christchurch last month, which was caused by a fracturing within the Pacific plate.
    A seismology research fellow at the University of Melbourne, Gary Gibson, said the world averages one magnitude 8 quake a year, but the rate was inconsistent. The 1980s and 1990s had far fewer large quakes than average, for example.
    ”There is more variation than you would expect from a random occurrence of earthquakes, and we really don’t have a mechanism to describe why that is the case,” Dr Gibson said. ”But there is no question that the last two years have been very active and well above average.”
    Dr McCue dismissed suggestions that melting glaciers due to global warming could escalate the earthquake risk.

    Go here for links and interesting comments by readers:
    weatheraction.com/displayarticle.asp?a=325&c=5

    Piers says “The massive Japan Earthquake and Tsunami were triggered by massive events on the Sun and there are more to come in the next two years”
    He Says:

    • “The Earthquake was preceded by an X class solar flare and a significant hit of the Earth by a Coronal Mass Ejection – reported by nasa – nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/news/News031011-xclass.html

    • “We warned after the New Zealand Earthquake on 21 Feb that the solar-lunar scene is set for more Earthquakes for the next two years.

    • “Many of these Earthquake events, as well as weather events, will be very extreme.

    • “Actual Earthquakes are very difficult to predict but major aftershocks will come after this one.

    • “Just to be clear in case the usual fools and charlatans make claims the weather and earthquake events that have come and are coming are absolutely nothing to do with CO2 or so called man-made climate change in any way whatsoever and such talk diverts attention from where it is needed and holds back the advancement of science”.

    For relevance or not of ‘SuperMoon’ (March 19th) to THIS and other potential Earthquakes see COMMENTS below for extra note from Piers.

    • Well, lots of astro masters here, i see. I have studied astrology for a while but compared to you guys I´ve only scraped the surface…so may I ask an astrological question that might sound stupid?

      Marian T blames the moon and Pluto for much of what is happening, and in a way I get that–pluto being the great destructor ( or transformer) assocaited with volcanic eruptions, explosiones, and all things undercover. But my question is in regard to the nuclear plants. Would that be Uranus? I remember reading that this was the planet of nuclear energy( plutonium aside).
      And i totally understand and believe the supermoon theory.
      I also came across something I had never heard of before, SEDNA. Can someone please elaborate on this.

      Thanks.
      You guys have a great page and a great community here!

      • hi Claudia – I’d personally like to hear uberqueen answer the Uranus question re nukes but, regards the current events here, my feeling is that all the planets are at work on the Solar system’s field in this Japan nuclear scenario, on how it is unfolding, and Uranus has the Electro function that works in tandem with the gravitational, traditionally associated more with Pluto and Saturn – the nuke plants generate electricity/Uranus, so, he could also be a catalystic element behind the explosions

  44. Hi Jamie…it’s 1.21pm Monday…on radio just said “5 meters of water”…then I heard “as another tsunami approaches Japan”…couldn’t hear it properly, got the washing machine going! Barb
