So my next step was to explore the use of Astro*Carto*Graphy maps of eclipses to locate earthquake activity around the world. An astrocartography map of the world represents a 24-hour period, with the angular positions of planets projected onto it in the form of lines. Planets at the MC and IC appear as straight vertical lines. Planets at the Ascendant or Descendant are curved lines. As an example, a Pluto (AS-DS) line stretches up and down across the earth map. Pluto at the MC appears as a vertical line in one part of the world.
Using 500 eclipses and 110 earthquakes, I found that Pluto was angular in 84 per cent of the eclipse charts at the earthquake location; Mars was angular in 64 per cent, and Uranus was angular in 47%. Predictions could be made by tracing the angular lines of these three planets across the eclipse map. Often an event would occur between two lines or where two lines crossed.
The millennium (between January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001) offered a special opportunity to study events as they related to this important period. Because a solar eclipse is effective for at least six months before and after it occurs, I began with the solar eclipse of February 16, 1999, and ended with the solar eclipse of June 21, 2001. This meant there would be seven solar eclipses to represent the millennium period -- February 16, 1999; August 11, 1999; February 5, 2000; July 1, 2000; July 31, 2000; December 25, 2000; and June 21, 2001. All of the events are listed under the heading of each eclipse which is related to a world map of that eclipse. In addition to earthquakes, volcanoes¸ tornadoes, floods, and an occasional meteoroid explosion, violent events originated by human beings have been added. These include the overthrow of governments and a variety of exploding human psyches resulting in multiple deaths in schools, churches and offices, and elsewhere.
All eclipses, except July 1 and December 25, 2000, occur in the Fixed signs -- the most difficult signs in the zodiac because attitudes, ideas and emotions are locked in here. Stress is allowed to build up. In the Earth, stress is released suddenly as an earthquake or volcanic explosion. In human beings, stress is often released in violent action. In either case - Earth or human -- this violence is heightened by the transits of Mars, and Uranus triggering the eclipse degrees. The February 5, 2000 eclipse at 16 Aquarius is especially active because transiting Uranus conjoins the degree of the eclipse. Here are the eclipses for the millennium period:
February 16, 1999 Solar Eclipse (27 Aquarius)
Hurricane Floyd moved northward along the coast from Florida to North Carolina where the eye
made landfall at Cape Fear, NC at 2:30 a.m. on September 16, 1999. The storm then continued up the coast into New England. It killed 70 people (47 in North Carolina), dropped up to 19 inches in
Wilmington, NC, and caused extreme flooding all along its path as rivers and creeks overflowed. Floyd caused the largest evacuation (2.6 million people) of cities and towns in U.S. history.
The Pluto (AS) line crossed from the sea to land near Wilmington, NC where Floyd made landfall.
Hurricane Irene: The hurricane came ashore in the afternoon of October 15, 1999 near Cape Sable, 75 miles southwest of Miami, dropping up to 18 inches of rain. 5 people were electrocuted by downed power lines near Fort Lauderdale. And some 1.5 million people lost power.
August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse (18 Leo)
Atlanta, GA: On July 29, 1999 at 2:50 p.m., Mark Barton, 44, a day trader, walked into two brokerage firms where he shot and killed 9 people and injured 13 others. Earlier in the week, he had killed his wife and two children.
Conyers, GA: On May 20, 1999 at 7:55 a.m., a month after the Colorado schools shootings, a 15-year-old student opened fire in Heritage high school wounding 6 fellow students.
Chicago, IL: A heat wave in late July 1999 took the lives of more than 100 people. As the Temperatures reached 104, portions of Chicago's aging electric power infrastructure shut down. On August 12, the day after the eclipse, there were three separate power failures, with one shutting down power to portions of the downtown section. Power failures continued for several days. Over the July 4 weekend, racist Benjamin Smith killed 2 and wounded 9 before killing himself. And on September 2 at 4:17 p.m.UT a 3.5 magnitude earthquake was felt south of Chicago near Dixon, IL.
The eclipse passes just west of Chicago and Atlanta, with the Mars (IC) line running just east of Atlanta. The July 1999 lunar eclipse shows Uranus on the Descendant in both Chicago and Atlanta.
February 5, 2000 Solar Eclipse (16 Aquarius)
New York: A bomb exploded at 4:40 a.m. EST on February 11, 2000, in front of Barclays, a British banking group in the financial district, blowing out the front windows of two buildings.
The Uranus (AS)-Eclipse lines are just west of Georgia, and the Pluto (MC) line runs down the East Coast very close to New York.
South Africa-Mozambique: In mid-February, 2000, these two countries experienced the worst flooding in 50 years. Thousands are believed dead and up to a million are homeless. An additional 90,000 were homeless in Botswana. Then on February 22, after two weeks of flooding Cyclone Eline smashed into Mozambique, and as of March 2, further storms were expected.
Pluto is on the Descendant with Mars on the MC.
On February 14, 2000 (a week after the eclipse) physicists at CERN Laboratory for Particle Physics in Switzerland announced they had found compelling evidence for the existence of a new state of matter quark-gluon plasma - in which quarks, instead of being bound up into more complex particles such as protons and neutrons, are liberated to roam freely. Some 500 scientists from 20 countries participated.
On February 14, 2000, the United States' Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft fired its thrusters at 16:33 UT and became the first spacecraft to go into orbit around an asteroid - in this case, Eros. NEAR was launched February 17, 1996. In January 1999 it was supposed to go into orbit, but went out of control instead.
In January 2000, Pennsylvania State University astronomers announced the detection of a faint X-ray emission from a super massive black hole which marks the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The discovery was made possible thanks to the Chandra X-ray Observatory at Socorro, New Mexico.
These three events occurred under the February 5, 2000 solar eclipse in 16 Aquarius conjunct Uranus, which can be said to rule the Internet and new scientific discoveries.
Wilkes-Barre, PA: On May 21, 2000 a twin-engine charter plane crashed at 11:40 a.m. while making an instrument approach to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International airport. Wilkinsburg,Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre are half-way between the Pluto (MC) and Uranus(AS).
Philadelphia, PA: Three people were killed and 31 injured on May 18, 2000 at 7:30 p.m. when a 20 by 15 foot section of a wooden night club deck at the end of a pier broke off hurling dozens of patrons into the dark waters of the Delaware river. Washington, DC: On April 24, 2000, the National Zoo turned into a scene of horror when a gun fight between two gangs near the entrance to the zoo resulted in the critical injury of one boy and injury of five other children between 11 and 16 years of age.
The Uranus (AS)-Eclipse lines are just west of Georgia, and the Pluto (MC) line runs down the East Coast, through Philadelphia and very close to Washington.
Tsunami Danger: On May 2, 2000, scientists announced the discovery of cracks along the edge of the Mid-Atlantic continental shelf between the lower Chesapeake Bay and South Carolina. These cracks, about 80 miles offshore, indicate the sea floor could slump or slide downhill creating tsunamis up to 20 feet high.Concord, NC: One hundred people were injured, 13 critically, on May 20, 2000 at 11:15 p.m. when a section of a concrete pedestrian walkway spanning a four-lane highway collapsed. People were crossing the walkway to the parking lot after the finish of a the Winston NASCAR race. Georgia-North Carolina As many as 500,000 were without power for several days when a snow and ice storm struck Atlanta, Georgia on January 23. Two days later an unpredicted blizzard marched up the east coast from South Carolina to New England, As much as 18 inches of snow buried Raleigh. On February 14, 2000, at least 4 tornadoes left a 10-mile path of destruction across southwestern Georgia, killing at least 22 people and injuring 100. The worst damage occurred near Camilla. Homestead, FL: On March 22, 2000, four Florida counties were declared agricultural disaster areas because an incurable citrus canker is ravaging the groves that once provided nearly all of the country's limes. So far lime growers in southern Florida have lost more than half of their crops. Lake Worth, FL: At 3:30 p.m.on May 26, 2000, a student, 13, sent home for throwing water balloons, returned to Lake Worth Middle School with a gun and killed his language arts teacher. North Carolina, Georgia and Florida are halfway between the two lines. South Africa-Mozambique: In mid-February, 2000, these two countries experienced the worst flooding in 50 years. Thousands died and up to a million were homeless. An additional 90,000 were homeless in Botswana. Mars (MC) and Pluto (DS) are close to all three countries. Zimbabwe: President Robert Mugabe announced plans to invoke special powers to seize white- owned farms and distribute the property to landless blacks. Armed black squatters have seized more than 1,000 white-owned farms since February. Thirteen people have died. Pluto is on the Descendant with Mars on the MC. Sierra Leone: Pro-government forces and United Nations peacekeepers rushed to bolster Freetown's defenses on May 10, 2000, as rebel forces were reported only 18 miles from the capital. The rebels were holding 500 UN peacekeepers hostage. British paratroops were sent to Freetown to evaculated Britsh, European and Commonwealth nationals. Uranus-Eclipse(MC) lines run close to Sierra Leone. World/Galactic Events: On February 7, 2000 (just two days after the eclipse) hackers launched an attack on the Internet that slowed the entire net by 20%. Among the Web sites interrupted for up to 2 hours were Amazon.com, eBay, Yahoo, Buy.com, CNN.com, E+Trade, and ZDnet.com. The hackers used Remotely controlled "zombie computers" to call in to a Web site and block regular customers. This was accomplished by previously inserting a zombie program into thousands of computers without the operators' knowledge.

On March 7, 2000, an international team of researchers reported they had successfully mapped dark matter over a 2-square-degree patch of sky. This was accomplished with special processing software which analyzed how light from the galaxies was distorted by gravitational fields of dark matter; then produced a chart showing that dark matter exists as ribbons spread among the galaxies.
Missing Mass Found. On May 4, 2000, scientists announced they have found an elusive component of the universe's missing mass - "dark matter" in the form of giant clouds of hydrogen in inter- galactic space. For the past decade astronomers have been looking for these vast quantities of hydrogen cooked up in the Big Band which accountfor nearly half of the "normal" matter in the universe. The rest is locked up in myriad galaxies.
A massive iceberg 183 miles long and 22 miles wide broke from the Ross ice shelf in the Antarctic on March 20, 2000 - perhaps heralding a rise in ocean levels. The winter of 1999-2000 was the warmest on record in the United States. The new iceberg contains an amount of freshwater equal to the average annual rainfall on the entire land surface of Earth.
These seven events occurred under the February 5, 2000 solar eclipse in 16 Aquarius conjunct Uranus, which can be said to rule the Internet and new scientific discoveries.
July 1, 2000 Solar Eclipse (10 Cancer)
Myanmar (Burma): A 6.5 earthquake struck Myitkyina in northern Burma at 21:46:55 UT on June 7, 2000. Gansu Province, China: A 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck this remote area of China at 10:59:14 UT on June 6, 2000. Myitkyina and Gansu Province are just west of the Uranus (MC) line. South Korea: On June 14, 2000, leaders of North and South Korea pledged to work toward reuniting thousands of families separated by the Korean War, and provide investments for the North. North and South Korea fall between the Mars (AS) and Pluto (DS) lines.
Fiji: On May 18, 2000, insurgents stormed the Fiji parliament, seizing the Prime Minister, Cabinet ministers and lawmakers. President Ratu Mara then declared a state of emergency and the military surrounded the parliament building. The Fiji Islands are just east of the Mars - Eclipse (AS) lines.
Sulawesi Island, Indonesia: A powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck 350 miles southeast of Palu on May 4, 2000 at 4:21:17 UT setting off a tidal wave which killed 46, injured 100, and damaged hundreds of homes and buildings. The island is between the Uranus (MC) and Pluto (DS) lines.
Sumatra, Indonesia: A 7.9 earthquake, centered off the southwest coast of Sumatra, struck on June 4, 2000 at 16:28:25 UT. The quake was followed by an aftershock of 6.7 magnitude 11 minutes later. More than 60 people were killed and hundreds injured. Sumatra is just west of the Uranus (MC) line.
Cocos Islands: A 7.5 magnitude earthquake was recorded June 18, 2000, at 14:44:13 UT. It was the largest earthquake recorded in that part of the Indian Ocean. The Cocos are just west of the Uranus (MC) line.
New Zealand: The White Island volcano erupted suddenly on July 27, 2000, covering the east half of the island with pumice and created a new crater. On August 15, 2000, a 7.3 earthquake struck 750 km northeast of White Island. Mars and the Eclipse are on the Descendant through northern New Zealand.
Enschede, Netherlands: A blaze inside a fireworks warehouse triggered multiple explosions starting at about 1:18 p.m.UT on May 13, 2000. Twenty people were killed and 589 others injured. The Eclipse (DS) and Mars (DS) lines pass to the east of Enschede.
Cairo, Egypt: A 5-story building collapsed in downtown Cairo at about 1:30 a.m. local time on May 14, 2000, killing at least 12 people. The collapse was blamed on shoddy construction. Cairo is halfway between the Pluto (MC) line and Uranus (AS) line.
Turkey: A 5.2 earthquake struck western Turkey at 13:41:25 UT on Aigist 23, 2000. The Uranus (AS) line passes through Turkey.
Kanungu, Uganda: On March 17, 2000, more than 500 followers of a doomsday cult were sealed in in a compound and the building burned. In the weeks following more than 500 more cult members, including children, were found stabbed, burned and strangled by their leaders, who had predicted the world would end on December 31, 2000. Fears about what would happen in the year 2000, plus grinding poverty, had fueled the religious sect. Kanungu is halfway between the Uranus (AS) and Pluto (MC) lines.
Jerusalem, Israel: Pope John Paul II began a six-day visit to the Holy Land on March 20, 2000. Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders hoped his visit would be a turning point for peace and mutual understanding. On March 12, 2000, Pope John Paul II had asked God's forgiveness for the sins of Roman Catholics through the ages, including wrong inflicted on Jews, woman and minorities. The church had burned heretics at the stake during the inquisition., and Catholics had slaughtered Muslims during the Crusades and stood silent in the face of Nazi genocide. Jerusalem is also halfway between the Pluto (MC) and Uranus (AS) lines.
Ethiopia: On April 5, 2000, the United Nations reported that the lives of up to 16 million people are at risk as a 3-year drought in southeastern Ethiopia continues. 90% of the livestock have died and most of the waterholes have dried up. Ethiopia lies along the Pluto (MC) line.
Russia: On August 12, 2000, at 0730 GMT (11:30 a.m. Moscow time) U.S. and Norwegian monitors recorded an explosion aboard the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk, about 100 miles off the Russian coast. A second explosion, with the strength of 1-2 tons of TNT underwater, was heard 2 minutes later. The sub sank to the bottom of the Barents Sea with a gaping hole in its side. The crew of 118 men died. U.S. experts believe a new rocket-propelled torpedo, being loaded or launched, misfired and its engine or fuel exploded. This caused the larger blast, apparently the torpedo's warhead. The Pluto (MC) line is exactly at the site of the Russian sub and Moscow, suggesting long-term effects of the sub disaster on Russian politics. Pluto also represents atomic energy.
July 31, 2000 Solar Eclipse (8 Leo)
Pasadena, TX: On March 22, 2000, a 21 year old man walked into the office of a suburban Houston church and shot 4 people.
The Uranus (AS) and Pluto (MC) lines straddle the Fort Worth.
Popocatepetl Volcano, erupted June 6, 2000, sending a column of ash 3 ˝ miles into the air. Mexico City: Vincente Fox won the Presidential election July 3, 2000, bringing to an end the 71-year rule of of the PRI party. Michoacan: A 6.4 earthquake centered in the Pacific ocean 240 miles southwest of Mexico City struck at 11:41:46 UT on August 9, 2000. The area is bracketed by Uranus (AS) and Pluto (MC).
Los Alamos, NM: A blaze set by the National Park Service on May 3, 2000, to clear brush, was burning out of control by May 10. The blaze burned more than 30,000 acres including parts of the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory, destroyed 400 homes, and caused the evacuation of 28,000 people. During the fires 2 computer hard drives containing secret information on nuclear weapons disappeared. The Eclipse passes close to Los Alamos and Uranus (AS) and Mars (DS) bracket the town.
Western States: By Aug. 16, more than 82 fires were burning on a 1,000,000 acres in 13 states.
Great portions of the West are under the influence of the Eclipse, Mars (DS) and Uranus (AS).
The area is bracketed by Uranus (AS) and Pluto (MC).
6) Krasnodon, Ukraine: At least 80 coal miners were killed and 7 injured after a methane gas explosion at 1 p.m. on March 11, 2000. The eclipse (AS) line passes just west of of Krasnodon, with the Uranus (DS) lines to the east.
Cerkes, Turkey: 8 people were injured during a 6.1 earthquake which struck at 2:41:53 UT on June 6, 2000. The town is between the Mars (AS) line and the Eclipse (AS) lines.
Dacca, Bangladesh: A tornado lashed through 7 villages in northwestern Bangladesh shortly before midnight on March 4, 2000, killing 50 people and leaving 3,000 homeless. Pluto is on the IC very close to Bangladesh.
Japan: Mount Usu, a 8,850-foot volcano on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, erupted April 1, 2000, sending clouds of ash over 9,000 feet. 15,000 people were evacuated from towns around the volcano. On June 6, 2000 at 21:16:42 UT, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake jolted western Japan. A 5.7 earthquake hit the island of Kyushu in southwestern Japan on June 25 at 6:34:43 UT. Mt. Oyama on the island Miyakejima off Tokyo was shaken by thousands of small earthquakes in late June. More than 2000 people were evacuated and a small eruption occurred on July 8. Two more eruptions occurred on July 14 at 4:14 a.m. and 3:50 p.m. scattering ash around the island. A 5.2 earthquake was felt at 7:19 p.m. Mt. Oyama erupted again on August 10 at 6:59 a.m. The islands of Niijima and Kozushima were rocked by a 6.1 earthquake on July 1 at 7:01:55 UT, and the Izu islands 100 miles south of Tokyo were hit by a 5.7 quake on July 8 at 18:57:44 UT. Tokyo: A 6.1 earthquake hit 70 miles northeast of Tokyo on July 21 at 18:39:19 UT. Torishima Island: A 7.3 earthquake hit the uninhabited island Torishima on August 6 at 7:27:36 UT The island is about 250 miles south of Tokyo. Mars and the Eclipse are on the MC through Japan.
