There was a huge seismic event yesterday, and I’m not talking about the resignation of Simon Cowell. A 7.0 magnitude quake shook the capital of Port au Prince at 4:53 pm local time on January 12. The extent of the damage is not yet known but this quake is being called the strongest one to hit the island in 200 years.
This event follows closely on the heels of a 5.8 magnitude quake in Baja on December 30th, two earthquakes in the Solomon Islands on January 4th, a 6.5 magnitude quake in Northern California on the 9th, and a 4.3 magnitude quake in Southern California on the 11th. All of this occurs as Saturn, planet of structure, prepares to face off in a challenging aspect (square) to Pluto, planet of explosions and transformation, in between two eclipses. Pluto is in the earth sign of Capricorn, the sign of earthy stability and its placement there suggests some danger for earthquakes and volcanoes as well.
There is some conjecture that earthquakes do tend to follow a lunar eclipse although no research study has been able to prove a connection. We did just have a lunar eclipse on December 31st, and we have a solar eclipse coming up on January 15th. This eclipse, as I noted in my previous post, has a powerful Saturn/Capricorn signature which does suggest some disturbances to the Earth, since Saturn and Capricorn both represent the Earth element.
As I wrote recently, the upcoming planetary alignments that involve not only Saturn and Pluto as described above but also Uranus, planet of revolutionary change, could bring about some major changes in the earth’s structure. In the meantime, please send your donations to the people of Haiti who are among the poorest in the western hemisphere.

Typo?
“There is some conjecture that eclipses form after a lunar eclipse”
Did you mean to say “earthquakes form”?

I can feel the intensity building it’s trying to blow my mind with this pressure of change! Something great is at hand!

Somehow great suffering leads to great liberation. We don’t see how God being the creator can also be the destroyer. Since most of us can’t see from their third eye we cannot detect the hidden causes in such horrible destruction. I can guarantee one thing: God feels the suffering of his world deeper than we can claim, than we can ever feel it.

The Rev. Pat Robertson turned heads with his appearance on The 700 Club on Wednesday when he blamed Haitian history for Tuesday’s devastating earthquake. In short, Robertson claimed that the quake was divine retribution for a pact with the devil that was sworn long ago, a statement he was audacious enough to make while the 800 number for disaster relief scrolled at the bottom of the broadcast…
Ugh.. and This is a MAN of God with a University in Va Bch…….. PLEEZE… Scary!!!!!!!

The quakes in Baja have been on going for months and months. They are nothing new. The California 4.3 you allude to is common place in California with 2.0 to 4+ earthquakes happening often. Within the last year, we have had swarms in the Mammouth Lakes area similar to the ones in the 1980s. We have had swarms near Ridgecrest. The earth rumbles and Californians are pretty much used to it. Not a big deal or anything unique.
