Well – May 21 came and went with nothing happening – big fat zero! Throughout history, fanatical groups have predicted (who knows how?) that the world was going to end on a certain date. There is certainly NO DATE in the bible anywhere about the exact date the end of the world will happen.
Predicting the end times has always been a topic that re-surfaces every few years. Just like Y2K came and went with nothing but just another day. There may be opinions on the end times, but there is no actual facts to back it up.
I feel that people seem to have a need for some horrid event and somehow rationalize how it will come about, get a following, and begin to spew out their opinions as if they are fact. Perhaps they have a need to be in the spot light or fame or money or all three.
What happens to these people who predict the end of the world when it doesn’t happen? No one ever hears from them again. Or, maybe they make up the reason that nothing happened and the group disbands when it just another day goes by. Or maybe they go back to their ‘calculations’ to figure out why it didn’t happen and predict another day when the world stops turning?
If you are going heed a fanatical opinion of the end of the world, why not check out the facts about what they are basing their opinions on? What do these followers do when May 22nd come as just another day? Do these fanatics just head back to their caves like a dog with their tail between their legs and egg on their face? Or come up with some garbage about why it didn’t happen!
Harold Camping is just one of these nut jobs with a pathetic bunch of groupees. His radio show, Family Radio Worldwide, was predicting the end on May 21st, 2011, and of course, it was a failed prediction.
Or, perhaps the doomsday theorist and Prison Minister, Marty Angelo, is one of your religious leaders. Ugh – my very last nerve. He makes no sense at all if you have only 2 brain cells firing. He does, however, have a ‘captive’ audience!
What these people have in common is either fame or the need to be adored and probably money as well. Any body who would give either of these people 2 cents deserves everything they get – nothing.
One thing you don’t hear much about from a reputable psychic, is the exact date the world stops turning!
What is Happening in the Stars for the Week of May 22-28, 2011?
This is one of those weeks were it will be easy to settle down into the comfort of regular routines and simple pleasures close to home. The Sun moving into Gemini increases the speed and amount of conversations that are flying around. Continue to clean up and reorganize what you have already started.
Aries It’s a mixed bag for Arians. The March-born are challenged by unexpected events and a general sense that rebellion holds the key to success. Those born March 31-April 1 face opposition and can feel discouraged. Early April Rams will have an easy and enjoyable week. Opportunities are everywhere for those born after April 15.
Taurus Those born in April are likely to be lucky in love. With Mercury, Venus and Mars in your sign, all Taurians will feel more settled and at home. A slow and easy pace is best. Trust your instincts: those simple truths you feel deep in your heart and body. Life is full of simple goodness.
Gemini With the Sun in your sign the energy lightens considerably. Don’t expect to hit the dirt running. A more lazy and settled energy keeps things focused on practical realities. This is a great time to walk around the neighborhood and spend time chatting in favorite haunts. Those born this week may be chasing romantic dreams.
Cancer This is a time when friends and coworkers will be especially supportive. If you have any plan or project in mind, this is a lucky week for making preparations. Do what you can to simplify your environment. Any ongoing stresses are not going to fix themselves overnight. Resolve to be happy and optimistic anyway.
Leo This is a high energy week when you are likely to make a lot of progress in any area where you are willing to put in time and effort. It helps to be patient with stressful events and irritating people. You have all you need to make decisions that support your best interests.
Virgo A welcome period of stability this week can also be very exciting and stimulating if you are willing to reach out. This is a very positive time to share your life, interests, talents. This could be via Facebook or by having people over to the house for a nice meal and some potentially legendary hospitality.
Libra Keep your head down and simply do your best. The energy this week, both positive and negative, tends to pass you by. Clean out closets and give away what you don’t need. Your best opportunities will come between Sunday and Tuesday. Those born near October 3 must continue to be patient.
Scorpio Expect happy coincidences, positive feedback, and a general feeling that life is good. Love is in the air for you! You may be in the grip of a highly romantic relationship. Set any dark thoughts aside and go with it. If born near October 24, your psychic senses are powerfully enhanced.
Sagittarius Might as well surrender to a slower pace. Get outside and take walks. This is a powerful time to trust your intuition and think deeply about what about what you most value in life. Those born near December 18-22 will find support for anything you feel enthusiastic about. You’ll attract your own good luck.
Capricorn You have a TON of support for your most ambitious plans and projects. Get out as much as possible. This is a wonderful time to play with family and friends. Those born in December are especially encouraged to make a effort to focus on implementing long term goals. Travel is lucky too.
Aquarius Even if you are feeling lazy, this is a week where you can make a big difference volunteering in your neighborhood or community. Don’t say everything you are thinking if feeling irritable. Those born at the end of January or in early February could easily alienate someone your care about. Let things slide.
Pisces The psychic energy available to those born on or near February 20 is huge. For all, it’s important to keep things simple and protect yourself from toxic people and psychic vampires. Children and pets can be your best companions. Spend as much time as possible close to nature and especially water.
What is Happening in the Stars for the Week of May 15-21, 2011?
This week’s cosmic energy settles into a slower, more practical,and easy going pace. This is the time to be close to nature to be most in tune with the times. Tuesday’s Full Moon brings many to a crossroads that challenges what you thought you could rely on. Remember it’s always darkest before the dawn.
Aries After a roller-coaster season, things begin to settle down for all except those born near March 24th. Do what you can to protect what you have. Simple pleasures will be the most enjoyable and rewarding. Those born near April 15th are under a lucky star: do not hesitate to expand your horizons.
Taurus If there was ever a time to go back to a simpler, more old-fashioned way of living this is it! The natural world is your teacher. For those whose birthday is this week, this is an extremely powerful time to write down long term goals for the future. Post these goals where you can see them every day!
Gemini You may be looking behind you, wondering what went wrong with your high hopes and best laid plans. An attitude of acceptance and surrender will help see you through. Expect some challenges this week in close relationships. “Keep it Simple” should be your motto. Avoid gossip and be as honest as possible.
Cancer This can be a very happy time for you. You’ll enjoy projects at home and staying in close touch with the family. For you, family can be a wider circle than just blood kin. FB and other social networking venues will help you maintain a sense of connectedness and harmony. Tuesday is lucky for love!
Leo After a run of positive energy and general good fortune, you may feel like something has put on the breaks this week. It is likely that people or events are going to challenge your decisions or plans. Avoid anger and seriously consider if the universe is trying to tell you something you need to hear.
Virgo Many areas of your life that have been stressful will begin to ease. Do your best not to worry or over-think what you are facing. The more relaxed and laid-back you can be, the easier it will be to make progress to improve your life. If your home is cluttered, now is the time to surrender the past.
Libra Some of the on-going irritation you have been feeling will give way to a more “business as usual” state of affairs. This is a lucky time for planning a holiday or bringing people together around a common interest. You have permission to be lazy. Be sure you are getting enough sleep.
Scorpio Tuesday’s Full Moon in your sign can bring a week of unavoidable confrontations. Anything you have been hiding, from yourself or others, is likely to insist on seeing the light of day. Keep your sense of humor. Wisdom says do not allow strong emotions to dictate your choices. The needs of others must be a priority.
Sagittarius Things begin to slow down. The focus is on keeping things simple and practical. You may be frustrated or tempted to shut down and pretend nothing is wrong. This week’s energy encourages patience and practice to develop important skills or contacts. Pay closer attention to your health. Any habits you begin right now will be easier to maintain.
Capricorn After a very challenging period, you will begin to feel more centered in your own heart and mind. It is also a very lucky time to make helpful contacts to build a solid foundation concerning long term goals. Be confident that you will find the resources you need. The energy encourages friendship or a romantic date.
Aquarius This week is rather like the clean-up time after a big party. There is a lot to do, most of which is neither sexy or interesting. But what happens now will help you in just a short while. Do your best to get your home, work, and financial life in better order. Be as diplomatic as possible Tuesday.
Pisces Expect steady progress in any area of interest or passion. It is a lucky time for team building and community based projects. When making choices, take the most simple and inexpensive path. Avoid chasing romantic dreams. Tune in to the other person’s point of view. The more realistic you can be, the better results you will enjoy.

I do feel that Japan’s earthquakes are not over. That being said, I feel strongly about other earthquakes that will hit India in the Fall, Western Canada, and Alaska. There will be damage to homes and buildings as a result. New Zealand and Mexico are forewarned later this year for more and stronger earthquakes.
The severe weather patterns we are currently experiencing around the world are just the beginning of what is to come. Again, it will be important for people who live in these critical areas to get prepared. Flooding on the eastern US will be uncommon and everywhere in the news.
We tend to just live life as though it will not happen to us. Believe me, it will. It is time to really ‘get it’. Yes, it can happen to you. I truly hope that people will have emergency kits, water and an evacuation plan in place. Now is not the time to think it will not happen to you.
Security will lie with those that are prepared in food, water, and an alternative source of power if you can afford it. This summer, wild fires will be on the rise in places that do not normally get them. Yes, it can affect you and I urge you, especially in California to make a plan and be willing to execute it. You will not be sorry.
Japan gets another earthquake as predicted
7.6 Earthquake Strikes Islands Near New Zealand July 6, 2011
Raffaele Bendandi was born in Faenza,Italy in October 1893. He had a great interest in how the stars, moon, etc., affected the earth. In August 1905, there was a solar eclipse which jump-started his interest in earthquakes and seismic activity around the world.
On December 28, 1908 there was a catastrophic earthquake which damaged three cities in Italy including Calabria, Messina and Reggio. From that point forward his studies went forward as he used his skills he learned as a watch-maker. That also initiated his interest in building a seismograph that was sold around the world.
His first attempt at predicting seismic activity was made on October 27, 1914 for an earthquake to happy on January 13 of the following year. On that very day, January 13 of the following
year, there was an earthquake in the city of Avezzano, Italy.
On December 20th, 1923, Bendandi made his first official earthquake prediction. His predictions often included dates and locations. However, there is no record of how he actually came up with them and the accuracy with which he predicted them. What is known is from his own notebooks, however, the methods he used are unclear.

What is Happening in the Stars for the Week of May 1-7, 2011?
The nice thing about this week is it begins by issuing in a New Moon in Taurus. This helps add a measure of thoughtful good sense to five planets in warrior Aries. The urge is to break new ground in order for things to grow. We are not yet done with old imbalances and lessons about the misuse of power.
Aries This can be a fierce time. Spend as much time as possible in touch with the beauty of nature. Taking action to protect the planet is also a great use of this energy. Trust your intuition. If born near April 1st, low energy can be deceptive. Retreat and wait to make decisions.
Taurus A fresh start for you! If this is your birthday, trust your intuition to a high degree. Be willing to step out of your comfort zone. Things will begin to settle down soon. This is a great time to sort out unfinished business. You will be seeing a boost in many areas soon.
Gemini Expect a positive time to get lots done! Ideas will be flying, especially toward the end of the week. You still have a chance to make a complex situation more fair and balanced. Encourage others to do exciting things with you. Revise plans with confidence. You will find help laying a good foundation for anything.
Cancer These remain challenging, but also inspiring times! You may feel pressured to move forward with something before you think you are ready. This is a great time to support groups and organizations that are of compassionate service to others. You will find support for your interests. Take a deep breath and trust the process.
Leo Fireworks this week! There is much to do, but mostly in service to the past. This is the time to make amends, revise your habits, or take a stand for something you feel passionately about. Be ready to justify why you want to do something. Use humor and a big smile to open doors.
Virgo Make a resolution early this week. You will find any goal you set right now will help you stay focused. This can be a frustrating time. You may want to move forward but somehow nothing is solid. Surrender old hurts. Emotional reactions, especially triggered by family, will only slow you down later.
Libra Do your best to let others take the lead this week. This could still be a time of confrontations where you need to explain yourself or are pushed to do things you would rather not. The best way to go is to cooperate. Refuse to grumble about what is not fair.
Scorpio This is a lucky time to make a fresh start with a loved one. Some will be blessed with amazing psychic insights. This is one of those “ride the horse in the direction it is going” sort of weeks. You will be at your best as a contributor to larger events.
Sagittarius This can be an amazingly happy time. Take advantage and push forward any plan or project. Even if you feel blocked, this is the time for action, confidence, and courage. Recovering old issues is NOT a waste of time. The better you prepare the way now, the more success you will see later.
Capricorn If you have the courage to face any fear or problem with an eye to building something subtantial, you will not fail. The challenges you encounter are fuel for the fire of creation. Do not allow any dark thoughts to stop you. Take time for yourself and refuse to compromise your principles.
Aquarius This is a time when you may be tempted to do something rash. The trick is to channel your inner warrior into construtive acts of wisdom. Take up a cause or challenge yourself to be better and stronger. Finding satisfaction in sports, physical challenges, and being heroic are all within your grasp.
Pisces If you or any part of you wants to stand up and fight, do not fear to let that spirit play. You will find joy if you are not afraid to take a stand for those things that are the most true to you. Those born in early February are under a profound and spiritual influence.

Aries Many are still in the grip of powerful forces that continue to bring challenges when you are truly ready for a break. Take things as lightly as possible and do your best to keep things simple. Those born near April 18-19 are under a lucky star, so take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way.
Taurus Mercury, Venus and Mars in your sign make this a great time to indulge your favorite hobbies or interests. This is a great time for gardening, building something, or sharing a meal with friends. It can also be lucky for love. You may have to speak up for someone or something you feel passionately about.
Gemini This is the time to review and surrender past hurts in anticipation of a better tomorrow. Family problems or stubborn attitudes that work against your happiness can be better understood. It’s time to move on. This is a lucky time to visit people you like best but do not see every day.
Cancer For some, the world is still putting stubborn challenges in your path. Do your best to see the big picture. Tough times do not last. Running around with friends, even with no particular goal in mind, can help recharge your batteries. You don’t have to be so responsible all the time.
Leo This can be a very exciting week! Do your best not to become too scattered. It is better to do a few things thoroughly than over commit your time and energy. Be more selfish. Be sure you are getting enough sleep and also “me” time. Arguments can clear the air.

Your natural generosity and hospitality can make you the best of hosts. Continue to focus on finishing projects. The opportunity for a fresh start is just ahead.
Libra This is a very positive time to bring the family together for fun. The less demanding you are of yourself or others, the better time you will have. There are still big challenges or decisions to be faced. Give yourself some time for rest and relaxation before making any big change.
Scorpio Relationships are highlighted this week! This can be an extremely romantic time. Your poetic nature is stronger than usual so share your feelings with loved ones. You may be moving toward a much different way of living as the result of someone else’s values and habits. Be sure you are still being true to yourself.
Sagittarius It can be a frustrating time if you are trying to do things without consulting others. Major life lessons about how you relate to others can force a change of plans. This is a lucky time to support projects that help people appreciate the natural world. This can include solar power, recycling, or community gardens.
Capricorn The long, slow, slog to a new and different way of life continues. Be open to what close family is telling you. Being too guarded or defensive does not support your best interests. You can feel better about everything in general if you get out and volunteer in your community.
Aquarius This is one of those high energy times where chance conversations can bring a sense of magic and possibility. Share the things that make you most joyful. If you have not sorted out things from the past, ask for help. The more you can complete this week, the more ready you will be for upcoming opportunities.
Pisces Love is in the air! Not just romantic love, but also giving and receiving love from friends, pets, and favorite family. Do what you can to bring people together for fun. Keep things light. You have permission from the universe to forget your troubles. Remember that laughter is healing.
