Hi Jim from South Louisiana

#1

Post by jimhebert »

Hi:
Just getting started. Most of my experience has been using software to identify conjunctions, constellations, etc. and their effects on the earth. It is truly amazing how heavenly activities effect us in our daily lives. The most recent experience I had was the earthquake on 6 Feb in Turkey, Syria, and down to Palestine. I converted the Celestial coordinates to Latitude & Longitude of a conjunction of the sun and Saturn and discovered that it was on or very near to the same meridian. I have noticed similar circumstances very similar in the past. This is why I am here. To learn more and share experiences. Tootles.
