Kamchatka increased volcanic activity

[Gerard]

This is in anticipation of the changes that the 2026 Year of the Fire Horse will bring on Earth:

Isn't this from last week , when there was a tsunami  that hit some places  but ended up not as bad as thought ? 

 

the article is dated  Aug 7th   .  

 

Kamchatka  volcanic activity ;  its ongoing and has been for a while ;

 

The Kamchatka River and the surrounding central side valley are flanked by large volcanic belts containing around 160 volcanoes, 29 of them still active

Yes it is, but as I said it's a sign of what is coming in the year of the fire horse.

There's over 500 active geothermal phenomena there -- hot geysers, hot springs, mud volcanoes...  but Yellowstone has more geysers, and a far bigger volcano.  If that mother wakes up...  And who's to say it won't -- the July 30th one in Kamchatka slept for 600 years.         

 

Fire Horse years are challenging (and also transformative -- the last one, 1966-1967, was quite noteworthy), but they happen every 60 years and that Kamchatka volcano ignored them for 600 years --and Yellowstone, for 640,000 years.  Besides, the way I was taught Xuan Kong feng shui, the coming next year does get foreshadowed a couple of weeks in advance, a month tops...  that's when its ruling qi is getting close.  But six months ahead, no.  It's still the antics of this-here year.  Still the Wood Snake.  It does carry Fire inside (concentrated in its venom and also firing up its sudden outbursts of the lightning fast strike -- but that's not a whole lot of Fire, it is actually cold-blooded after all).  If you don't step on its tail, it is, generally, a rather peaceful animal (which may be one reason there were no casualties in that eruption, nor in the 8.8 earthquake that preceded it.)

Aha !   I wondered what happened  .... tsunami alerts  out .... awaiting danger   (news the night before ) ... next day .... 'nothing '   (much)    ??? 

[Gerard]

I agree with your comments about Snake & Horse nature but a Fire Horse is the peak of Yang and there is a lot of  Yang build up on the planet already 

 

I see 2026 as a liberating year of what has been building up since 1966. It will be good for some not so good for most. Transformative indeed like the Snake but the Horse is stomping force rather than moulting.

From the little news I've been watching, this year seems to have seen a lot of plane accidents, forest fires, war zones etc. Would next year bring even more disasters ? (W.rt. To the year of the fire horse)

Unfortunately, there's Yang Fire in the Heavenly Stem AND Yang Fire in the Earthly Branch next year.  (Unlike the European zodiac that places the 12 astrological animals up in the sky, the 12 animals of the Chinese one are all in the Earthly Branch and are just helpful to remember particular "personalities" of the main players -- the wuxing or Five Phases of qi.  Analogies, metaphors...  stuff like that.  They are popular in mass culture though, but older feng shui schools don't use them -- and newer ones that are serious and traditional view them in the similar vein, more like "pointers," psychological traits, etc..  For analyzing the energies resulting from the Heavenly Stems interacting with the Earthly Branches in a particular year -- or month, day, hour -- they are like mnemonic devices, but wuxing analysis in and of itself usually suffices.  Well, that and the Flying Stars and...  but don't let me get carried away "going there.") 

 

So anyway, 2026 is Yang Fire in the Stem and Yang Fire in the Branch...  Ugh...  That's a year when anything can happen. 

 

I might do a more comprehensive forecast later...  I shudder in advance at the possibilities.  Although some of the currently prominent feng shui masters, from what I gleaned reading their versions over the years, simply love Fire, the more the merrier...  Might be their personal bazi chart influencing their perceptions, who knows.  (People are typically attracted to either phases that are deficient or the ones that are overrepresented in their chart -- in the first case because replenishing the deficient ones is beneficial for them personally, and in the second, because the excessive ones are the easiest to access for them personally.)
