The current alignment of planets in tandem with the New Moon are perfect ingredients for major earthquakes in those areas most vulnerable to such events, and may even lead to the occurrence of earthquakes in parts of the world where they are relatively little known. Indeed the last 48 hours or so has seen a major earthquake of magnitude 6.6 that hit areas of Northern Chile.

Coming days may see even larger earthquake events in what is sure to be a time of increased seismological activity. Similarly there is likely to be an increased risk of other natural disasters including the possibility strange or bizarre weather patterns or increased volcanic activity.

Social and political turmoil is another possibility and the days ahead have the potential for extreme events and happenings.
