November: Forecasted physical manifestations: Nature appears DESTRUCTIVE – serious and destructive natural event(s) are probable. Nature is viewed as DESTRUCTIVE/DEADLY in the California area. This generates a large earthquake warning. It is possible, however, that some other destructive type of natural event is indicated. The Earth is seen as UNSTABLE/DISRUPTIVE in South Asia. Increased earthquake activity is likely. Nature is WET/STORMY for residents of S.E. Asia, Indonesia, and Australia. Heavy rainfall is likely.Actual (by forecast region): DESTRUCTIVE/DEADLY: Northwest U.S. freezes in rare blizzard (23). UNSTABLE/DISRUPTIVE: 4.9 quake N.W. Iran; 80 injured (6).

October: Forecasted physical manifestations: Nature is viewed as DISRUPTIVE / WINDY in parts of the Americas, Europe, and E. Asia. Watch for heightened cyclonic activity in these areas; this configuration is also associated with earthquake activity. Nature is SERIOUS, DEADLY, and WET for residents of S. Asia, Indonesia, and Australia. Heavy rainfall is likely. The Earth is HOT / ACTIVE / DISRUPTIVE for Northwestern N. America, Kamchatka, the Zagros Mountains and the Hindu Kush. Watch for a possible increase in tectonic activity in these areas.Actual (by forecast region): DISRUPTIVE/WINDY : Wind/rain wallops E. Coast U.S. (1).

September: Forecasted physical manifestations: The Earth is viewed as HOT/ACTIVE/DISRUPTIVE across Europe and the Mediterranean. The most noteworthy event could be new activity of the Iceland volcano; however excessive heat could also be an issue. Nature is seen as DESTRUCTIVE on the W. coast of N. America. This could signal a moderate earthquake in California or adjacent areas. In Central Asia, the combination of DESTRUCTIVE and HOT indicates increased risk of earthquake damage, but could also refer to extreme heat. With a combined perception of Nature being WET and DESTRUCTIVE, Northeast Asia concerns (Japan, Korea, and Eastern China) could be due to storms and/or tectonic events. The combination of WET and HOT in Greenland could point to accelerating glacier melt. Actual (by forecast region): Hot, Active Disruptive: Fires ravage central Russia, kill at least 8 (3). Iceland volcano shows increased activity (26). Destructive: Kamchatka volcanoes showing increased activity (6). 6.3 quake jolts N Pakistan, Afghanistan (18). Landslides, floods kills 47 in N.

 August: Forecasted physical manifestations: The Earth is viewed as HOT/DISRUPTIVE in Europe, W. Russia, and the Mediterranean. Watch for heat waves and/or unstable weather. Nature is seen as DESTRUCTIVE in South Asia. This could be due to storms, flooding. There is risk for water borne disease and/or opportunistic species bloom. Nature is WINDY/STORMY in Central and South America, and in East Asia. The Earth is seen as LIFELESS in East Africa and the Southern Arabian Peninsula. This likely reflects ecosystem collapse/failure. Actual (by forecast region): Hot, Active Disruptive: Toll from raging Russian wildfires hits 50 (5). Destructive: Elevated disease risk amid Pakistan floods (2). Pakistan floods hit 12 million people (6). Kashmir devastated by torrential rains (6). Landslides kill at least 127 in N.W.

July: Forecasted physical manifestations: There is a thematic distribution of alerts (where Nature is seen as DISRUPTIVE or as DESTRUCTIVE) near coastal areas. Although other types of events are possible, because of the water theme, those in indicated areas are advised to prepare for possible increased storm activity and/or tidal surge.

June: Forecasted physical manifestations: Nature is seen as unstable, disruptive, or chaotic in Eastern N. America, the Caribbean, and Northeastern S. America. Watch for more tornado outbreaks in N. America. Look for heightened tectonic activity and/or disruptive weather in the Caribbean and S. America. Nature is perceived as serious or deadly in Far East Asia. This generates a highly destructive event warning for E. China, Korea, and Japan. Actual (by forecast region): Unstable/Chaotic: Tornadoes rip through U.S. Midwest; kill at least 7, injures 85 (5).

May: Forecasted physical manifestations: The earth is perceived as hot and in motion in portions of the Americas, and in the area of Iran and Iraq. This generates a volcano/earthquake alert. Nature is perceived as serious or deadly in Mexico, Central America, and portions of South America as well as the Gulf of Mexico. This may indicate a serious tectonic event, but could also be referencing the Gulf oil spill which has already occurred. The perception of nature as serious or deadly in the Far East generates a highly destructive event warning for E. China, Korea, Japan, and/or Papua New Guinea. The primary perception of nature surrounding the Indian Ocean is wet, and wet weather is likely. Nature is seen as expensive or costly for Hawaii residents, and is viewed as disruptive, chaotic, or inconvenient for residents of Eastern N. America and Great Britain. The latter may signal weather that is disruptive to business as usual. Actual (by forecast region): Tectonic: 6.4 quake off Chile coast (3). 6.4 quake shakes S. Peru (5). 3 Moderate quakes in less than 1 hour rattles S. Calif. (8). 5.1 quake rattles Southern Iran (14). 6.4 quake Peru/Chile (19). Pair of moderate6.4 quake W. Brazil (24).

April: Forecasted physical manifestations: The earth is perceived as hot and in motion in Iceland, Hawaii, and the Caribbean/Northern S. America region. This generates a volcano/earthquake alert. Nature is perceived as serious or deadly in N. America. Together, these indicate a heightened possibility for a serious tectonic event, most likely in the Pacific Northwest. The primary perception of nature in the Eastern Hemisphere is wet. A serious water-related situation may develop in the area surrounding Indonesia and Southeast Asia (this could be tectonic related). Nature is disruptive or inconvenient for Europeans. This may signal weather that is disruptive to business as usual. Actual (by forecast region): Tectonic (West): 7.2 quake hits N. Mexico (4).

Travel chaos in Europe as volcanic ash shuts airspace (15). -- map last updated 4/1/10; actual events 4/30/10.
March: Forecasted physical manifestations: The issue this month is global, and systemic pressures may be released anywhere at any time throughout the month. Losses and even casualties due to natural causes are likely in the month of March. While E. Asia appears particularly vulnerable, it is best to be prepared this month for disruptive and destructive events to occur anywhere on the planet. Actual: Systemic: Quakes may create more quakes (1). Recent large quakes may indicate trend (1). Experts say quake frequency merely coincidence (4). Iceland volcano could have global consequences (23). East Asia: 6.7 quake jolts Taiwan (4).

California (6). 6.0 quake kills 51 in E. Turkey (8). 3 strong quakes hit Chile (11). Flooding/hurricane force winds in U.S. NE (14). 4.4 quakeTyphoon Ului hits Australia (20). Icelandic volcano erupts 1st time in 1000 years (21). -- map last updated 2/28/10; actual results 3/23/10.
Februar y: Forecasted physical manifestations: A view that Nature is disruptive or inconvenient on the West Coast of N. America indicates a higher than normal probability of a moderate earthquake. There is continued indication of heightened tectonic activity in the Caribbean and the region near where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet. The unusual configuration that crosses the Atlantic Ocean signals possible current anomalies-- unseasonal weather patterns around the globe are possible. However, the primary areas to pay attention to are Northeast Asia, as well as Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and India. While something serious is indicated, the specific threat is unclear; the area of concern is extremely large, and this same configuration is associated both with flooding as well as increased volcanic activity. Actual: Orange - Coastal N. California rocked by 6.0 quake (5). S. California homes destroyed by mudslides (6). New storm causes L.A. evacuations (9). Red - Strong quake strikes off Papua New Guinea (2). 6.3 quake hits off Taiwan (7).
