One of the applications of astrology that I find interesting is the use of astrological patterns to track and potentially predict earthquakes. I havn't got a huge amount of detailed experience but I do know people who specialise in and have experience of making predictions based on the patterns of planetary transite to the moon.

The theory goes that if every relevant planet is gathered on one side of a chart and the moon is on the opposite side then the likelihood of a major earthquake poccouring becomes more likely.

It could just as easily be astronomical measurements which are being used in the prediction but I happen to know astrologers so that is what I am interested in.

If I were to suggest making a prediction it would include taking a measurement of the combined gravitational impact of the planets and moon as they align in particular ways, The tradition in astrology is that a transit from another planet is focussed by a transit of the moon so that the combined effect is magnified. This may also be the case in the astronomical version, I don't have the data to provew this hypothessis I'm just making a suggestion for others to follow up on who have a more scientific and statistical bias than I do.

This story begins with my joining an online networking group called "ecademy" in April 2004.As part of the process I was required to write 50 words for my online profile and I decided to open up psychically for a few of them. One of the words I chose for my profile(in april 2004) was Toonami. This was the word that I heard when I ased for what to put into the profile. I didn't think much of it at the time as there is a cartoon network called Toonami and I like the occasional cartoon.

I recall being very, every annoyed in December 2004 when I started to get regular noise in my head which sounded like shouting and screaming.At this point I was living in central london and doing a lot of psychic development work.The problem with doing this type of work is that it opens you up to influences on a global scale, and that can be annoying on a personal level if it begins to prevent you doing the practical day to day stuff that is necessary to live in a city of 12 million people.

The point of the story is that on Boxing Day -December 26th 2004 there was a huge earthquake in the pacific which killed hundreds of thousands of people and that is the point when my head became clear of the shouting and screaming.

I also developed a technique for closing myself down to global influences and have not had the same problem since that time so it was a learning curve for me. I've taught the technique to several clients along the way aswell.

Since the experience I described in this hub I've been interested in the scientific version of earthquake prediction and this section of the hub is a collection of links to articles which might prove valuable in the future.
