If you were expecting some kind of sun sign nonsense, forget it. This is real astrology. See the section above. Please note: this forecast is expressed in terms of Universal Time (UT).

Too busy with client consultations and reports to stay on top of these forecast results, sorry . . . I hope to get caught up between my client work and research, time permitting.

I warned that the biggest geocosmic surge of July "kicks in late on the 25th (and) . . . continues, thanks to the new moon on the 29th at 6 Leo and the Moon’s southward equatorial crossing on August 2nd, all the way through August 4." I specifically mentioned "severe storms with high winds and heavy precipitation" as "big stories" during this period, along with "floods and landslides" as well as "moderate to severe seismic disturbances – volcanic eruptions, Richter 5+ tremors." The seismic side of things came on strong right from the start, as a pair (Richter 5.5 and 6.2) of strong quakes struck Miyagi prefecture in Japan on the 26th. The temblors caused landslides and power blackouts, injuring more than 400 people and forcing the evacuation of some 2,500 more. Turkey took a series of seismic hits the same day, as a string of earthquakes shook that country. The Istanbul-based Kandilli observatory said the strongest quake struck southwestern Denizli province and had a preliminary magnitude of 5.6. Dozens of homes were damaged, and several people suffered minor injuries.
