The Galactic Centre And The Worst Earthquakes

8th May 2009 Is astrology just an entertaining art, or is it a very important scientific truth? In February 2005 I discovered that astrology had a gaping hole in its information banks which affected it in a similar way to a frontal labotamy. It had lost its knowledge of the influence of the Galactic Centre on the Earth. I rediscovered this knowledge shortly after the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami on 26th December 2004 had caused a quarter of a million deaths. I asked myself what the connection was between this earthquake and one that had occurred exactly one year before in Bam, Iran on the 26th December 2003, an earthquake that had also caused over 30,000 deaths. Further, as an astrologer I had drawn up the chart of the date the 2004 earthquake occurred and compared it to other disasters. I noticed a pattern but couldnt explain it: the Moon or other body seemed very often to be placed at the end of the sign of Gemini near the summer solstice and in the case of the 2004 Tsunami the Moon had been almost full and opposite the Sun and Pluto. To try and get a handle on the reason for this earthquake I asked myself what had caused these two earthquakes to occur in this one month of December? I remembered reading years ago in a book by Graham Hancock called “Fingerprints of the Gods” that December was mentioned as a potentially disastrous end date on the Mayan Calendar. I googled the idea and came up with an article by John Major Jenkins “THE HOW AND WHY OF THE MAYAN END DATE IN 2012”, where he explained that the research of Linda Schele had

shown that the Mayans were probably basing this end date on knowledge of the Galactic Centre. For in December of each year, around the time of the winter solstice, on 21st to 22nd December, the Sun moves through the sign of Sagittarius into Capricorn passing over the Galactic Centre's position and increasingly in the last couple of hundred years this occurs when the Sun crosses the winter solstice and is even placed, not inconsequentially, in the earth sign of Capricorn. Western astrology is not the only one guilty of forgetfulness, but our whole modern civilization had completely forgotten the Galactic Centre, even though it seemed many of our ancestors knew. Well of course we might excuse ourselves that it is not just next door but about 26,000 light years away and not so visible as it once was in the more northern hemisphere where our civilization now tends to gather. This means that we have only just found it again in the 20 th century and are only now learning about it in the very last couple of decades. Just as science at first rejected the idea that the Sun could be influencing us it will take time for the conservative middle to accept the idea, but to wait for acceptance there is too little time. We are now discovering that this centre has qualities that some ancient cultures have attributed to it for many centuries. The Mayans seem to have known that the centre of our galaxy contained a black hole. They saw the Galactic Centre as the most powerful force, capable of birthing Suns as well as eating them up. They and other cultures also represented the Galactic Centre as a mother goddess with good and bad aspects- a monster with breasts – and even told tales that the Milky Way was created from such a breast. The Mayans felt themselves connected to this Centre as through an umbilical cord. They saw it as both a creative womb and a destructive mouth bringing great ages to an end and birthing new ones. This is an idea that was shared by many cultures: the Galactic Centre was the mouth of a Milky Way serpent – the self-eating Ouroboros and marked the place where head and tail, beginning and end, met. As our Earth has a wobbly orbit around the Sun, the winter solstice position is very gradually changing. At the same speed as we pregress through vernal ages 1, (one cycle or Great Year taking about 25,920 years to complete), our winter solstice position is also progressing into a conjunction with the Galactic Centre. As this is caused by the same wobble that creates precession it moves at the same speed and also takes c. 25,920 years to make one circuit or wobble. The 1

We are at present at the end of a Pisces Age and moving into the Age of Aquarius as far as the constellation on the

spring equinox each 21st March is concerned.

conjunction between Galactic Centre and winter solstice is what the Mayans saw as marking the End of the Great Galactic Year cycle. For the Mayans this is the end of the Fifth Sun, the Sun known in neighbouring Aztec as the Sun of Earthquake (Ollin is their word for earthquake, movement or shift). The Maya similarly knew this age, (last of five ages in the Fourth Great Year on their records), as Caban or 4 Earth and recognized that the name of an age also signified the kind of disaster that would cause its end. This means that major earthquakes would be the most obvious kind of disaster. The last age was 4 Rain and came to an end with a great flood, probably the same flood as told of in other stories around the world and popular remembered as “Noah's Flood”. A number of the Mayan and Aztec prophecies were proven true by the passage of history and particularly the arrival of the Spaniards on the exact date they were expected as Pluto tansited over the Galactic Centre two cycles ago In the 16th century. Other prophecies for the end of this age were given in the Bible, especially damaging is supposed to be a great earthquake at the apocalyptic transition to the next age: the Age of the Son of Man. So let us begin to pull the veil off the MYSTERY by noting that there has been a hidden heavenly plan associated to our “accidental” disasters on Earth caused by the Earth's relation to the Galactic Centre. The earthquake on 26th December 2004 was a magnitude 9.3 according to recent estimatesi so possibly the second largest ever (after Chile) and maybe the second most deadly in recorded history. An

There was likely a very direct

involvement

of

the

Galactic Centre in its occurrence, as just hours after the tsunami occurred on our planet a star quake was registered in the constellation Sagittarius2 just a few degrees away from the position of the Galactic Centre and Sun as seen from Earth. The gravitational waves from this brilliant flash of light in the heavens may have sent gravitational waves riding at its forefront that arrived early enough to trigger the earthquake here. This is looked at in more depth by Dr. Paul LaViolette in an article: “Was the December 26, 2004 Indonesian Earthquake and Tsunami Caused by a Stellar Explosion 26,000 Light Years Away?” This is also discussed in my book “THE GALACTIC CENTRE 2012 and the Great Waves Coming in December” Confining

ourselves

here

to

an

interpretation that should fall within the territory of astrology, we may note that the Sun and Moon are often directly in aspect to the Galactic Centre when disasters and particularly earthquakes occur. There are many examples: the largest earthquake of 2005[i] showed the Sun square3 the Galactic Centre, the deadliest earthquake of 2004 came as the Sun was conjunct[1] the Galactic Centre, the largest earthquake of 2003 had the Sun square the GC, the deadliest of 2003 placed the Sun conjunct the Galactic Centre, the deadliest of 2002 had the Sun square the Galactic Centre and finally the largest earthquake in 2001 had the Sun opposite the Galactic Centre. Three of the eleven largest earthquakes, given in a list by Steven Dutch [ii] had the Moon in Gemini directly opposite the Galactic Centre. In the six year period between 2002 and 2007 the months of December has produced an unprecedented number of earthquakes, numbers never before recorded in history: there were 24 historical earthquakes over this six year period, all occurring in the one month of December, (note 2

the position was noted by researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany)

3 A square is an aspect of approximately 90°. A usual lee way or orb is 8°.

these are not just any old earthquakes - but historically significant ones). Just compare this to the six year period before 2002[2], in which there was only one - just one historically significant earthquake- and then followed by 24? Think about it, quite a large difference in the number of earthquakes, a difference that has never occurred before. The earthquakes have occurred every December since 2002 for seven years, to the time of writing in 2009, without one break [3], with an average of four historical earthquakes each December4. Also the numbers over the whole year have increased as well. Wikipedia.orgT gives a list of the five most deadly earthquakes, three of which occurred in late December. No. 1 was the "Shaanxi" earthquake in China, No 2 the “Tangshan”, also in China, No. 3 the “Indian Ocean” in Indonesia, No. 4, the “Aleppo” in Syria, and double fifth the “Haiyuan” in China and one in Iran in December 856 AD. I will show most of these and compare them to a few other large and/ or deadly earthquakes. I invite you to pass your eye over the following charts and recognize a pattern.iii

The Shaanxi, No. 1 most deadly earthquakeT he Shaanxi Earthquake in China is considered by many to have been the most deadly earthquake ever, with 830,000 fatalities. It is thought to have had a magnitude of about 8.

4 At least this was the average last time I checked in USGS.

On the day the Shaanxi earthquake occurred, the Moon in Gemini opposed the Galactic Centre.

5

. We see that the North and South Nodes of The Moon also aligned with the galactic

[iv]

axis, which passes from the Galactic Centre to the Galactic Anti-Centre, at present this is in 27° Sagittarius to 27° Geminiiv, the position that the Sun passes over on 19th December each year, and so very close to the winter solstice. 6 The Nodes are nearly always involved in a major way by the worst disasters. Traditionally the South Node (Ketu, or the Dragon's tail) is the more unlucky Node and actually has its exultation or natural position in eastern tradition conjunct the Galactic Centre at 3° of the constellation [vi] Sagittarius. As is often the case when disasters occur, the heavenly bodies form what I have named a “bow and arrow” aspect to the Galactic Centre. Here the Galactic Centre is with Jupiter and the South Node, while the North Node and the Moon pull the string of the bow. Their opposition shoots the arrows as Venus and Chiron hold the bow. There was also another bow and arrow to Saturn, which I have not emphasized in this chart. Nevertheless, Saturn and his earth sign Capricorn, or Capricorn’s house, are also always involved in some way when earthquakes occur.

5 I have taken the time as the morning, as wiki suggests http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1556_Shaanxi_earthquake 6 Because of the Earth's wobble the position of the Galactic Centre seems to have changed over the centuries, in 1556 as the earthquake in China occurred the Galactic Centre was in c.20° Sagittarius. This earth wobble creates the precession of the constellations over the Vernal Equinox resulting in the Age of Pisces and Aquarius etc. and a Procession of the seeming position of the Galactic Centre, both lasting c.25,920 years, or one Great Year, a Great Year that is now ending as the Galactic Centre now seems to come to align with the winter solstice, even though it is astronomically placed in c.3° of the constellation Sagittarius.

A major competitor for Shaanxi’s title “most deadly earthquake in recorded history” existed in Syria and Upper Egypt, where on 5th July 1201 an earthquake had occurred that supposedly caused 1,100,000 fatalities.Another

“Most Deadly Earthquake” on 5th July 1201, with 1,100,000 deaths in Syria

[vii][viii]

.

This date in 1201 showed the Galactic Centre again conjunct Jupiter and the South Node, as by the earthquake in Shaanxi. Further, the Nodes, Jupiter and the GC were in a grand cross. Also important is that Saturn was square the Nodes of the Moon. Saturn and the Nodes of The Moon are often in aspect to each other when earthquakes occur. They were in aspect by the Shaanxi earthquake also. There is evidence of a number of major earthquakes occurring during the whole period that this aspect lasted, from 1201 to 1202[ix]. Disastrous periods in history are often caused when the Galactic Centre and the Nodes of the Moon are both involved. Especially when the Nodes of the Moon line up with the Galactic Axis as also when there are strong aspects between the outer heavenly bodies –Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. So in 1201 we see them all involved. Pluto is conjunct Uranus in Cancer. Pluto is transformation-destruction, and Uranus is sudden changes, accidents and disasters. If there is an

additional involvement of Saturn and the earth signs then this may mean a deadly and disastrous earthquake. The earth signs were involved on 5th July 1201, as there was a bow and arrow pointing at Chiron in the earth sign Taurus, Lilith was involved in the grand cross in the earth sign Virgo, and Saturn was also in the grand cross with the Nodes. Another earthquake that occurred on 4th May 1201 was one of the worst ever to hit central Europe, Switzerland and Austria. Though death tolls are not available, a number of tremors occurred and the worst earthquake hit Basel in the middle of the night and was remembered as “The

Great

Basel

Earthquake” (not to be confused with another of the same name on 18-19 October 1356).

Great Basel Earthquake 1201

The second most deadly earthquake ever, according to Wikipedia (at least before the revision for the earthquake in December 2004), was the Tangshan Earthquake, again in China. The number of fatalities varies between 200,000 and 800,000.[x].[xi]The earthquake occurred on 28th July 1976 at 3:43 CCT., was a M. 7.8, and again showed the involvement of the Nodes of the Moon, the

North Node being in deadly Scorpio with Uranus. The Nodes were T squared by Saturn as before. Saturn additionally conjunct both lights: Sun and Moon. The Galactic Centre was beginning to conjunct Neptune, which was additionally involved in a bow to Pluto.

The 2nd most deadly earthquake, in Tangshan, China 1976 was one of the worst years on record for fatal earthquakes. With victims in Indonesia, Italy, the Philippines, Turkey-Iran and also Guatemala. The second worst sum of fatalities in that year was a M. 7.5 earthquake on 4th February 1976 that caused 23,000 fatalities, as shown in the next chart.[xii]

4th February 1976 earthquake in Guatemala The Guatemala

occurred

4th

February 1976 at 9:02 am GMT. We see that Neptune and Venus are conjunct the Galactic Centre. The Galactic Centre is also rising right on the ascendant opposite Mars and a bow is formed by the Sun and Pluto. Although we can now leave 1976 behind we are not finished with other possible earthquakes that could compete for the title “second most deadly ever earthquake” . The Calcutta earthquake of 1737 with 300,000 victims may have been worse than the Tangshan earthquake in 1976 and the Indian Ocean Earthquake 2004. Yet it is not quite clear if all the fatalities truly occurred and whether they were the result of an earthquake and not a cyclone, which is also recorded to have occurred at the same time.

300,000 deaths, cannot have caused so many fatalities, as at that time Calcutta was a small place. Yet research 7 does show that there was a larger disaster affecting the Ganges Delta and the whole Bay of Bengal, with accompanying cyclonic winds and storm surge or tsunami. Just as with the last earthquakes in 1976, there is also a bow involving Pluto, this time the Midheaven likely created the other end of the bow, though the time of occurrence is only approximate, based on an eye witness account. The conjunction of Saturn with Neptune, opposite Uranus c. the GC as the involvement of the air signs, as well as reports reaching English newspapersv, suggests that this was truly both a cyclonic and earthquake disaster. A previous storm is also mentioned as having occurred on 30 th September 1737. Just five days after Calcutta on 16th October 1737, the First Mega-Thrust Earthquake occurred in Kamchatka, a probably enormous 9.3 magnitude earthquake.

7 I have included this earthquake and most of the others in my book „THE GALACTIC CENTRE 2012 and the Great Waves Coming in December“ in more detail.

on

26th

December 2004 with about one quarter of a million deaths. It was earlier thought to be the fourth largest since 1900, though there is some disagreement, being now possibly the second largest. Its magnitude having been raised from 9 to 9.32 , making it possibly the second largest after the 1960 Chile earthquake. Saturn is here not just squaring the Nodes of the Moon but in a grand cross that involves his earth sign Capricorn and Chiron on the ascendant. The South Node is also in a bow with Uranus pointing to the Galactic Centre, Uranus is also square Mars and sextile the Sun 8, while Jupiter and Neptune are also in a bow pointing to the sign Sagittarius and the Galactic Centre. The Earthquake of 2004 was of similar size to the Kamchatka Earthquake.

8 Uranus in aspect to one of the two active, fiery bodies of Mars or the Sun is quite common by earthquake disasters, and Uranus in the sign Aries (ruled by Mars) from the year 2010 may help to intensify the coming earthquakes.

November 1952 Kamchatka Earthquake

Both the Indian Ocean Earthquake of 2004 and the Kamchatka Earthquake of 4th November 1952 had a moment magnitude of 9 or over and are usually placed closest on the list of largest earthquakes on record, with Kamchatka somewhere between third and fourth largest9. Of course one can see that in both cases it is the Moon in Gemini that shoots the arrow at the Galactic Centre. More similarities I will leave to the reader to find. Before the Tsunami in 2004 the place second largest earthquake since 1900 occurred in Prince William Sound near Anchorage, Alaska, on Good Friday March 27th 1964 at 5:36 P.M. AST. The South Node was in Capricorn conjunct the Galactic Centre and Saturn was sextile to the Galactic Centre, etc. I do not show the chart here. As most of these large earthquakes, it caused a tsunami, had a moment magnitude of c. 9.2, and resulted in 131 deaths. The recent raising of the 2004 Earthquake to 9.3 does of course steal its second largest place. The largest ever recorded earthquake occurred in Chile on May 22nd 1960. This earthquake 9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake Here the Indian Ocean erthquake is compared to Kamchatka.

was a jewel of a find as it was the first time I discovered a six-pointed “Star of David” in an earthquake disaster, which turned out to be a quite common hall mark of disaster, or significant events, when one added the Galactic Centre.

Every large or deadly earthquake without acceptance seems to have been tied to this galactic wheel.

10The Aleppo earthquake, which wiki places fourth on the list of most deadly earthquakes, seems to have been a number of earthquakes that were added together and there is some question as to the significance of the date 11 quake. It is the date given for c. 230,000 deaths in Syria from a M 8.5 earthquake, but 30

September1139 and other dates in August

around this time also produced earthquakes. So I have decided to omit the chart, though on the 11th October the Moon would have conjunct the Galactic Centre and there was a lethal Pluto Scorpio opposition involving the Nodes.

Iran Earthquake December 856 AD The

fifth

most

deadly

earthquake in wikipedia’s list were shared by two earthquakes No.1/ an earthquake in China on Dec 16th 1920 caused by a bow and arrow to the Galactic Centre conjunct the Sun, with an additional square from Saturn conjunct Jupiter. 200-240,000 people died . No. 2/ An earthquake in Iran (above) back in AD 856 on 22nd December also caused about the same number of fatalities. But it was not the only one back then to cause 200,000 deaths. 37 years later another earthquake occurred in Iran on 14th December 893, under similar astrological conditions with the North Node again in early Capricorn and conjunct the Galactic Centre and the Sun. The only difference was that Uranus had moved from its earlier opposition to the Galactic Centre to a conjunction. But what is particularly interesting is that it shows Neptune in Aquarius sextile the Galactic centre, as it is now and will be in the years up to 2013! As I went through the last 2000 years looking particularly at the worst disasters this was the time in history when the worst ones occurred, plagues, famines, religious persecutions and general suffering caused by natural and human conditions. For instance, another very damaging earthquake occurred in Palestine on 18th May 363 AD with supposedly 300,000 fatalities and here to Neptune was in Aquarius sextile the Galactic Centre.

The first time this sextile was possible was when the Galactic Centre first entered the tropical sign of Sagittarius at the beginning of the last c.2160 year age. Neptune then for the first time also entered Aquarius in 33 AD, this was when the Crucifixion occurred, which I look into in more depth in my book, an event accompanied by two earthquakes and by three hours of darkness. The chart shows not just Neptune sextile the Galactic Centre but also Pluto conjunct the Galactic Centre as now, and until 2013. The difference is that in the next years Neptune will sextile the Galactic Centre and Pluto increasingly from the water sign Pisces. This may in turn cause large waves. It is strange to think that Jesus was teaching and prophesying his return as Pluto was conjunct the Galactic Centre and Neptune sextile, as now. What a very special time we are living in. There were records kept by the Romans and the Greeks telling

of

this

disastrous

earthquake and its connection to the crucifixion of Jesus. Some records suggest the whole world was shaken.

Crucifixion Earthquake 33 AD

[xv]

On 6th September 543 AD an earthquake occurred that shook the whole world. The Moon was opposite the Galactic Centre and a Star of David aspect formed as by the crucifixion earthquake. This 6th century produced the most earthquakes in all the centuries up to now – 20 of them, with some centuries recording absolutely no earthquakes! There are many similarities between this period, and its earthquake (shown in my book), and the years 2012-13 which may produce much stronger earthquakes.

Let us look at some of the worst earthquakes in different countries and areas of the world. One of the most shocking earthquakes and tsunamis in the western world hit the Portuguese capitol of Lisbon on All Saints Day 1755, many people were in the new cathedral praying, as the masonry collapsed on their heads. That was on the last Pluto transit to the GC. As with the tsunami in 2004 the Nodes of the Moon played a role, as did Uranus in Pisces , Jupiter in Libra and Chiron in Capricorn.

Worst Earthquake in Portugal: All Saints Day, Lisbon 1755 There is a loosely formed star of David in earth and water signs, as with the largest earthquake in Chile, in 1960. Fatalities were around 90,000 in Lisbon, though another 10,000 were registered in Morocco and there were tsunamis, disturbances and Church bells ringing in many areas from Africa through Spain up to Scotland and Scandinavia. The earthquake in Messina, Italy is thought to have killed over 100,000 people. It occurred as Pluto had moved from its last conjunction with the Galactic Centre to an opposition with the Galactic Centre from Gemini. Again the Nodes of the Moon align with the Galactic Axis. And we see, as with Lisbon, the Galactic Centre on the Ascendant, or in other words, rising over the

horizon.

Worst Earthquake Italy, Messina, 1908 This earthquake in southern Italy with its consequent 50 feet high tsunami wave caused anywhere 200,000

from

60,000

fatalities

to and

destroyed 91 percent of all standing structures. Again an involvement of the Nodes of The Moon. Also the planet Saturn and his sign. Here the Sun is in Saturn's sign conjunct the Galactic Centre and square Saturn. Of course if we would now understand the Great Year intention behind gure 1: Worst Earthquake Italy

Fi the increasing earthquakes, we might recognize the beginnings

of the Age of Saturn and the birthing of a New Earth as told in the Biblical Revelation. In America the worst ever earthquake set bells ringing across the continent: hundreds of miles away they rang in New York.

The Worst Earthquake in America: The New Madrid (Missouri) Earthquake of 1811 Large areas sank into the earth at this time and new lakes were formed. The Mississippi River changed its course due to the earthquakes. Eyewitness accounts suggest the time of occurrence as being just after 2am on the 16th Decembervi The quakes continued in the area until 1812. The chart of the earthquake on 16 th December 1811 shows six bodies conjunct the Galactic Centre including both lights and Saturn. Jupiter is opposite as it will be in 2013 and as it is in the July 4th Independence chart.

Worst Earthquake in England, 6th April 1580, 18:00 LMT. The worst earthquake in England seems to have caused no casualties at all, a few walls collapsed and chimney pots fell,

that's all. But it was seen as an omen because it occurred on the Easter weekend. Perhaps it really was an omen, just as the second worst earthquake and tsunami in Alaska 1964 occurred on a Good Friday, also Easter, and the earthquake and tsunami in Lisbon 1755 occurred on all Saints Day and there were many discussions as to whether God was angered, and the third most deadly earthquake and tsunami in 2004 happened on a Christmas Boxing Day as well as a religious holiday in Indonesia. Though the British are maybe overreacting as they seems to have suffered almost no casualties from earthquakes at all – so God cannot be more than a little irritated by them. There were possibly 12 fatalities in all recorded quakes in England.

Worst Earthquake in Australia at Newcastle on 28th December 1989, 10:27 am LT. Similarly the worst earthquake in Australia in recent times, 5.6 on the Richter scale, only caused about 13 fatalities. Yet it was still one of Australia's worse ever natural disasters. It was the first time ever recorded that people were killed by an earthquake and it cause much property damage, about 4 billion in Australian dollars. Astrologically we see the Sun and Moon conjunct Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn with the Galactic Centre, which is also conjunct Saturn, dimly visible, and Mars. Jupiter and Chiron shoot the arrows in a bow held by Pluto and the Ascendant.

11 1988 to 1989 produced a spurt of disasters as the three planets Neptune, Uranus and Saturn moved over the winter solstice.

Worst earthquake on the Azores Islands: The Great Faial Earthquake. The Great Earthquake on the island of Faial, one of the group of islands called the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean ,shows again Pluto conjunct the Galactic Centre on its last journey through this area about 250 years ago, the South Node as well as the Sun conjunct the Galactic Centre and the Moon with Saturn form as a bow to the Sun in Saturn's sign. Mars opposite Uranus form a T square to the Galactic Centre. A series of earthquakes occurred, some of the worst ever and followed on from the earthquake of 1755 that had affected Lisbon. By November 1760 the volcano Pico Gordo began to erupt. This was all in the time range of Pluto's last conjunction to the Galactic Centre. This may warn us of the coming volcanic activity and connected disorders that will follow on the heels of the present earthquakes. A tropical hurricane also caused damages in September 1761. Disasters do not come regularly but occur in groups, especially when one of the outer heavenly bodies, most usually Pluto, is conjunct the Galactic Centre or at least in aspect.

Worst earthquake in Israel November 2000 Here this worst recent earthquake was supposedly a M 7.2 though originally given out as a 6.2. Jupiter and Saturn, the two giant planets opposed the Sun and Pluto that are coming into range of the Galactic Centre. The South Node is also in range of the Galactic Centre in the earth sign Capricorn. Uranus , Moon and Mars form a bow to Pluto conjunct the GC. A great earthquake is awaited in the Holy Land as part of the apocalyptic disasters. The conjunction of Pluto to the GC lasts until 2013, so it could still occur. Could computers calculate the exact date of the next large earthquake by including all this information? Yes they obviously could, if we tell them what to look for, this could work better than any other method. Then all that is left is a astrological method to calculate where they will occur, which is also possible, as I show elsewhere. Other “worst ever” earthquakes for different areas of the world have also occurred in December on the Sun's transit over the GC. One occurred on December 16 th Naples, Italy 21:00 UTC, it was a M6.9 and 11,000 people were killed. In Corinth, Greece, on 26 th December 1861 a large earthquake occurred, in Gansu, China, on December 16th 1920. The earthquake caused 200,000 fataliies and in Erzingan, Turkey, on December 26th 1939 a M7.8 occurred. December 7th 1944 in Tonanka, Japan, there were 1,223 fatalities, followed by December 20 1946 19:19 UTC, Nankaido, Japan, when there was a M. 8.1 and 1,330 fatalities, though these were nothing to the

137,0000 lost in Hokkaido, Japan on December 30th 1730. In Quebec, Canada a 6.9 earthquake occurred on December 25th 1989. Recently on 26th December 2006 a M. 7.2 earthquake in Taiwan caused pipes to rupture, Internet and Atomic plant shut down and a small tsunami wave. (for more worst earthquakes see links in the endnotes[xvi])

Recent Earthquakes and Future Earthquakes The danger of large earthquakes occurring in the years between 2010 and 2013, especially in December, is very real. Using a computer it would be possible to feed all the information of earthquakes into it and find out when they are most likely to occur. Certainly we could make some kind of preparation? Just using what I know I have managed to predict earthquakes, even where they will occur, but how much more we could achieve with all this information put into a computer. The following chart is of an earthquake I predicted and the area to within a few miles. The earthquake showed a conjunction of Mars and Uranus with the North Node opposite the Moon with the South Node T square the Galactic Centre. A bow and arrow points at Jupiter, Pluto and the Galactic Centre, so it is appropriate that it struck Canterbury, a religious centre. A bow also points to Saturn and to the Sun in the earth sign of Taurus.

Earthquake Canterbury, England April 2007 There were no casualties caused by the 4.3 earthquake but power was lost to over a 1000 homes and a hundred people were forced to leave their damaged

homes. Britain has not

suffered many caualties from earthquakes but in recent times the earthquakes are beginning to increase and will very likely cause worse damages12.

Large Earthquake hits Jakarta, Java 2007 Jakarta, the capitol city of Java, has been shaken by recent earthquakes. Indonesia generally is one of the most endangered areas in the coming years. This one on 12th August 2007 was a M.7.5 and came just four minutes after midnight. Miraculously it caused no serious casualties. 12 Worse earthquakes in Great Britain are likely for a number of reasons but partly beacuse Pluto in Capricorn will be conjunct the 1066 founding Sun in Capricorn.

There are many worst earthquakes I have not included that show the particularly dangerous possibilities that are beginning to occur as the Galactic Centre nears the sign of Capricorn and can conjunct bodies there, especially Pluto, as it does in the next years. A grand cross involving Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, the Galactic Centre and Pluto will occur often in 2010. Saturn and then the North Node will begin to form bows with Neptune and bodies in Pisces pointing increasingly strongly at the Galactic Centre and Pluto in the earth sign Capricorn. In 2013 when Jupiter moves through Gemini into Cancer and shoots the arrows we will in all likelihhod have very large earthquakes with also large tsunamis and flooding to contend with, and that in areas of the world quite unprepared for them. The worst earthquake to occur in the Los Angeles area since 1999 came on 29 th July 2008. It was a magnitude 5.5. Look at that chart with the Moon at the end of Gemini forming a bow and arrow to the Galactic Centre just as was the case with the Shaanxi Earthquake and the Indian Ocean Earthquake! The near future (2009) could produce a much worse earthquake in this area, when transiting Saturn moves to conjunct Los Angeles' founding Sun opposite Uranus squaring its f. Saturn conjunct the Galactic Centre. Already in August 2009 a grand cross will form that may spell earthquake as it involves Saturn transiting in a grand cross squaring founding Saturn conjunct the Galactic Centre.

Worst Earthquake, 2008

Los

Angeles, USA This earthquake registered by USGS as „historically significant“ occurred on July 29th 2008 in Los Angeles. After looking at the founding chart of Los Angeles which shows the Sun in Virgo square Saturn conjunct the GC in Sagittarius, one could see it as a „historically significant“ warning.

There will be more earthquakes in this area when Saturn and Uranus form a T square to the Galactic Centre, and here too tsunamis could occur. The danger of tsunamis is increased generally until the end of 2013 and in the last half of 2009 there is again an aspect between the two water disaster planets, Jupiter and Neptune, aspecting the Galactic Centre, as was the case in December 2004 and 2005 as the Indian Ocean Tsunami and Hurrican Katrina occurred. We should begin to consider taking protective measures for the next few years against the likelihood that earthquakes and even tsunamis might occur in our own home area13. Still apart from the dangers there is also the need and perhaps a desire to understand that there is a plan and a deeper meaning in what is occurring now14. © Susan Seymour Hedke

END NOTES [1] I allow 10° for a major aspect like a conjunction, square or opposition with the Galactic Centre. [2] As given by USGS in January 2008 [3] This was the time that Pluto began its conjunction with the Galactic Centre that will continue till 2013. [i] In my book this evidence is given in more detail but can be checked at USGS. I only checked backward from 2005 to the time when the earthquakes began to increase as I was writing it in 2006. [ii] according to Steven Dutch list “Natural and Applied Sciences”).

13 I have concentrated here on the earthquakes, though there will be a number of other disasters connected to the breakdown and rebirthing of our world. The most apocalyptic and most wonderful will be the beginning of the return of the volcanic world mountain we lost half a Great Year ago, as told of in Revelation. 14 I attempt to deal with this huge theme in other articles.

[iv] Other sources say the middle of the night. [v] The Galactic Centre sits on the plane of the Galaxy which is a relatively flat disc- this is the Milky Way or otherwise referable to in a straight line as the galactic axis which is between Galactic Centre in Sagittarius and the Galactic Anti-Centre in Gemini. [vi] Constellation and sign are not the same. There are astrologers who concentrate on the astronomical constellations which is called sidereal astrology and other astrologers who concentrate on the division in to 30° sections of tropical signs, this kind of astrology is based on the solar clock.

[viii] Perhaps the reason the earthquake on 5

th

July 1201 is not so often quoted is that no one believes that a single

earthquake can have caused so many deaths. [ix] A number of earthquakes seem to have occurred 1201 to 1202 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Erd_und_Seebeben. 20. Mai 1202 Nablus Syrien, heute Palästinensische Autonomiegebiete !1000000>1.000.000 Das Erdbeben wurde in Armenien, Anatolien, im Iran, in Ägypten und zwischen Sizilien und Mesopotamien wahrgenommen. Die genaue Anzahl der Opfer

ist unklar. Arabische Quellen sprechen von mehr als einer Million Toten in den Jahren 1201 und 1202. Diese Zahl schließt wahrscheinlich auch die mittelbaren Opfer von Seuchen und Hungersnöten in der Folge des Erdbebens mit ein.

[x] If casualties for the Tangshan earthquake were 200,000 then the earthquake in 2004 would have caused more casualties, the 2004 has also been estimated at 283,000 fatalities. There are also other earthquakes that might be comparable and have uncertain numbers of fatalities [xi] 2010 to 2013 the North Node will move first to conjunct Pluto in Capricorn that is conjunct the Galactic Centre and then over the Galactic Centre in Sagittarius into deadly Scorpio and a conjunction with Saturn in early Scorpio in 2013 in a bow to the GC and Pluto in Capricorn. That is a lot of Saturn and Nodal influence for likely earthquakes in the coming years.

The tropical signs of the zodiac are the ones most western astrologers use, based on the solar cycle of the year it helps us pinpoint the solstices and equinoxes and the Sun's relation to the Earth. In tropical astrology the Galactic Centre is nearing the winter solstice at the end of Sagittarius. However, it is really the Earth and solar system that are moving, more than the Galactic Centre, which we are spinning around. TheGalactic Centre remains between the constellations Scorpio and Sagittarius, and the opposite end of the Galactic axis is between Taurus and Gemini and can be called the Galactic Anti-Centre. The Gentleman's Magazine June 1738 tells of the occurrence of a hurricane and earthquake together in the night between the 11th and 12th October http://asms.k12.ar.us/armem/richards/eye1.htm eye witness of New Madrid Earthquake.
