1 Planetary Alignments October 2015 Earth Key Dates: 2-3, 11-12, 20-21, image 1 Just after the Sun-Mercury-Earth alignment on September 30, October will start with a Venus-Mars side-alignment. The side alignment will be effective from the 1st to the 6st approximately. This side alignment will coincide with various other alignments, as shown below.
2 image 2 On October 1, at 20:03 UTC Mercury will line up with the gas giants Jupiter and Neptune. This may become interesting due to the fact that Neptune will also form side-alignments with both Venus and Mars (image 3) while Mercury will be close to a square alignment with Venus and Earth (image 4).
3 image 3
4 image 4 On October 2 at 15:02 UTC the Mercury-Venus square Earth alignment will be exact. Seismic increase usually occurs within the two or three days following the square alignment. Because Venus will also line up with Mars and Neptune, forming a side alignment less than three hours later (image 5), there may be a serious seismic increase starting on the 2nd. Both the 2nd and 3rd are Earth Key Dates, which means that potentially a magnitude 8+ earthquake may strike around those days.
5 image 5 On top of that, Mercury, already in a square alignment with Venus and Earth, will also line up on the 2nd at 19:13 UTC with the Sun and Uranus, forming a critical side-alignment for the Earth (image 6). Side-alignments with Mercury and Uranus can be very critical and can easily trigger earthquakes up to magnitude 7.9, and above magnitude 8 on Earth Key Dates. This time the Earth will be between Mercury and Uranus, which may be somewhat less critical than having Mercury and Uranus on one side.
6 image 6 Image 6 shows the Moon coming about, which will be fully exposed to the side-alignment on the 3rd, when another critical side-alignment will amplify the resonance received by the Moon even further (image 7).
7 image 7 The already critical configuration on October 1 and 2, with Earth in multiple side-alignments and a square alignment, will be followed by a Mars-Mercury square Venus alignment on the 3rd, amplifying the resonance via Mercury and Venus to the Moon even further (image 7). This may result in large seismic activity on our planet, particularly from October 3 to 5, when the Moon is also fully exposed to the Mercury-Uranus side-alignment (image 8) and also a Venus-Jupiter side-alignment (image 9).
8 image 8 Critical time-frame with a Mercury-Uranus side-alignment. Mercury, Earth and Uranus will also line up directly later on in the month.
9 image 9 Venus-Jupiter, also in aside-alignment (going along the back-side of the Moon relative to the Earth.
10 image 10 The next side-alignment with the Sun and Uranus (image 10) may cause increased seismic activity to continue for another two days, after which Earth will line up with Mars and Neptune on the 7th at 02:27 UTC (image 11).
11 image 11
12 image 12
13 image 13 October is the time when Earth will line up with the Sun and Uranus. The alignment will be exact on the 12th at 03:36 UTC. The Moon will join the alignment on the 13th at 0:07 UTC, which will be New Moon. If no magnitude 8+ earthquake has struck on the 2nd or 3rd, then the 11th and 12th may be the next candidates for such a large earthquake as these days are also Earth Key Dates.
14 image 14
15 image 15 From October 17 to 21 approximately the Sun and Uranus will again form a side-alignment. I am not sure yet how these side-alignments with the Sun are going to affect the Moon and Earth, but I wouldn't rule out at least one or two magnitude 6 earthquakes. This side-alignment will coincide with a Venus-Earth-Neptune alignment (image 16). Different alignments affecting Earth and/or the Moon usually add more stress to Earth's mantle (the upper lithosphere and the deeper asthenosphere). Uranus in particular can influence the Earth's crust suddenly and significantly, especially in conjunction with Mercury and/or Mars.
16 image 16 The Venus-Earth-Neptune alignment on October 17 at 02:44 UTC will be followed later on that day by an Earth-Mars-Jupiter alignment (image 17). Because Mars is involved and Uranus as well (image 15), a larger magnitude 6 earthquake is possible.
17 image 17 Three alignments coincide around the 17th: 1. Sun-Uranus side-alignment 2. Venus-Earth-Neptune alignment 3. Earth-Mars-Jupiter alignment
18 image 18 On the 19th at 17:57 UTC Venus will line up with the Sun and Saturn. Because Venus is now in a side-alignment with Neptune, this alignment may be of influence for the Earth.
19 image 19
20 image 20 The time-frame October may turn out to be quite significant for the Earth, as Earth will line up with Venus and Jupiter on the 25th at 20:08 UTC, followed by a Mercury-Earth-Uranus alignment, also on the 25th at 22:47 UTC (image 21). On the 26st, a day before Full Moon, the Earth and the Moon will line up with Uranus at 10:58 UTC, which may turn out to be quite critical, espacially because Mercury is close by (image 22 and 23). On the day of Full Moon (image 24), Earth will still be closely aligned with Venus and Jupiter and also with Mercury and Uranus.
21 image 21
22 image 22 A day before Full Moon, showing two straight alignments with Earth. Uranus is also involved (image 23).
23 image 23 The same configuration of planets as in image 22, showing Uranus. On October 27, three alignments will occur, including Full Moon at 12:07 UTC. Mercury will be in the spot light as it lines up with the Sun and Neptune at 0:29 UTC, followed by a square alignment with Venus and Mars at 19:45 UTC (image 24). This square alignment (red lines) may turn out to be influential in that Venus and Mars will form a side-alignment from approximately the 29th to the 31st.
24 image 24 The time-frame from October 28 to November 3 will be the next point in the 188 days cycle. Copyright 2015 Ditrianum
