As cheryl rightly says, it is the earthchanges we should get ready for. AND the sun. look whats coming this time...

SOMETHING IN THE OFFING: A potentially significant active region is about to rotate onto the Earthside of the sun. A hot plume of plasma flying over the sun's northeastern limb heralded its approach during the early hours of April 15th:

The eruption hurled a coronal mass ejection toward NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab have prepared a forecast track showing the progress of the cloud. No planets are in the line of fire.

Stay tuned for updates as the sun turns to reveal the active region in the days ahead. Solar flare alerts: text, phone.

I'm intrigued, Norad. can you say any more on this??  I am still f the mind something is coming but putting a name on it is difficult..  what are we to look out for?

Keep your eyes on the timeframe around April 22, 2012 - May 8, 2012. Should be some interesting times ahead for us

Quaky Time

In the wake of the 8+ earthquakes of last week, a reader sent me this:

Dear George...........I've read the article, "Solar Killshot", with a great deal of interest. I believe that Patrick Geryl may be onto something. What is needed to confirm his hypothesis is,"were there any other groupings of double and triple alignments in period beginning from 1859?". If so, what was the sun's behavior during these groupings of alignments

Funny you should ask: Another reader sent this:

George, Regarding Geryl’s upcoming date of April 22 (2012 assumed) , there is an alignment forming of Mars, Venus , the Sun, and Uranus. Earth will be just a tad off to the right. Today on Space Weather we can see that 2 new Sun Spots (crackling 1458, and 1459) just came around the horizon. If today is April 15, then there are 7 days until Geryl’s date of alignment. If I recall correctly, that it takes 11 days for a sun spot to travel across the Sun’s surface relative to Earth, then these 2 sun spots should be just off center to the right facing Earth on April 22. Of course there still are a few days remaining for a new sun spot to appear and so as to be directly facing Earth on April 22, but these 2 (1458, 1459) seem to qualify at this moment. So it looks like the stage is being set to test his theory. Also what will be interesting to watch if possible is Sun Spot 1455. If it is still active, it should be rotating to the far side of the Sun and facing Uranus on April 22. Do you know of any way to monitor from the internet the far side of the Sun? Time to wait and watch. Maybe re-read “One Second After”.:

I forgot to pass on Patrick's latest note last week (buried, sorry) but here it is:

"Earthquakes and Planetary Alignments with the Earth

April 11, 2012: Earthquake of 8.7 on the Richter scale

Today (11th- g) Earth – Mars and Neptune are nearly lined up... but not perfect... See my questions below...

So after finding this... it was easy to make a connection with the other ones...

Listed according to their strenght

May 22, 1960: Earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale

May 21st: Mars – Uranus – Mercury lined up (not with the Earth, all the others are with the Earth)

May 22nd: Neptune helio-centric connected with the Earth (this is important because Neptune comes several times back, so the helio-centric connection with the Earth is indeed very important!)

All the following quakes have a Triple Line Up with the Earth...

March 28, 1964: Earthquake of 9.2 on the Richter scale

March 23rd: Venus – Earth – Neptune in one line (few days before the quake... but even bigger alignment coming...)

March 27th – 4 planets lined up: Mars – Mercury - Venus – Uranus (4 planets lined up just before the quake)

March 28th: Jupiter – Mars – Neptune almost lined up

December 26, 2004: Earthquake of 9.1 on the Richter scale

December 27th: Earth – Venus – Mercury lined up

November 4 ,1952: Earthquake of 9.0 on the Richter scale

November 5th: Earth – Mars – Uranus lined up

March 11, 2011: Earthquake of 9.0 on the Richter scale

March 9th: Earth – Mercury and Uranus lined up

January 31, 1906: Earthquake of 8.8 on the Richter scale

February 1 – 2th: Neptune – Earth – Uranus

February 27, 2010: Earthquake of 8.8 on the Richter scale

February 27th: Earth – Mercury – Neptune lined up

March 28, 2005: Eartquake of 8.6 on the Richter scale

March 29th: Earth – Venus – Mercury lined up

August 15, 1950: Earthquake of 8.6 on Richter scale

August 14th – 15th: Earth – Mercury - Saturn

We see Neptune, Mercury and Uranus several times coming back.... I have only one remark.... The quake from today April 11... doesn’t fit completely on an alignment... Normally the alignment with Uranus and Neptune is nearly perfect around April 22... Could there be an even bigger one lurking? Or was this one triggered by the complex alignment that is coming?

Triple Line Ups: April 22, 2012:

Neptune – Earth – Mars

Earth – Mercury – Uranus

Once again coincidences or not? Either way, this is raising many more questions about the cataclysmic events that are predicted for the end of this year...

December 17 – 18, 2012: Triple Line Up of Jupiter – Earth – Mercury

December 21 – 22, 2012: Triple Line Up of Jupiter – Earth – Venus
