Occasionally, we are witnesses of a retrograde, or backwards, movement of the planets, an occurrence that has been puzzling scientists for centuries.

Today we know that the explanation for the planets’ movement towards the west, instead of their usual eastern-oriented movement – is an illusion. It is related to the position of the Earth, the sun and the planets in a particular moment.

Interestingly enough, this manifestation has great impact on how people feel and what people think. They influence human’s sub-consciousness and psychology, further causing problems in relationships, career and friendships.

Pluto’s retrograde motion will persist until late September this year, and will have different implications on each zodiac sign.

Aries

People that are Aries are born in April, and that is the months when Pluto’s change in motion is initiated. Consequently, they will be more affected by these changes in comparison with other signs. The most vulnerable category for Aries will be family relationships, so they need to be cautious in the way they treat family members, as well as to try to avoid conflicts and disagreements.

Taurus

Taurus is another sign that will experience Pluto’s influences mainly in a negative manner. Same as Aries, they need to pay attention to the relationships between family members. Additionally, their financial situation and financial planning will be another reason for trouble. Their money and property discussions, especially within the house, might contribute to the tightened family relationships, so best to avoid them completely.

On a more positive note, this is the time when those born under this sign will experience freedom of their sexual energy, which might lead to a new romance or even a relationship.

Gemini

This will be a very slow and calm period for the Gemini. They will be rather in the resting mood. This will be their chance to pause for the moment from the rapid, nervous every day office life, and to devote more time to themselves. Consequently, they will be experiencing positive impact on their health.

Cancer

Same as Taurus, Cancer will be significantly affected as well. They are very sensitive signs s it is. This is a period when their actions from the past might haunt them, and they might be experiencing the consequences of these actions. It will be a good idea to learn how to take responsibility for decision-making and how to start a clean slate.

Leo

Leos are famous as people that always put themselves in front of the others, caring more about their own needs than the others’. The upcoming period will indicate these changes. Those born under the Leo sign may experience troubles or conflicts, because of their behavior, especially if they have been involved in lies and manipulations. Try to change and improve yourselves in the next couple of months.

Virgo

Over the summer, Pluto will be playing with Virgo’s karma. If you are a Virgo, and you have done something that was a cause of another person’s pain, better watch yourself. It is payback time, full of challenges. Watch your finances as well. Looking on the bright sight, this will be a good opportunity for making a self-analysis, learning how to improve and what to avoid.

Libra

It is a well-known fact that Libra is the most sensitive sign. Libras are emotional, calm, with an eye for esthetic. Unfortunately, the cosmic changes might influence their calmness and stability. They might adapt behaviors that are very unusual for them, which will be a trigger for further trouble and conflicting situations. Watch over your love life – Libras are great lovers and romantic souls; however, be sure to protect your relationship with your significant other in the next six months.

Scorpio

Scorpios are known as trouble causing and complicated people. Well, this time, surprisingly, they are not to be blamed for their behavior. Their rapid actions will be a result of the cosmic influences. For those that are in a relationship or marriage, there might be some challenges in the upcoming period so proceed with caution.

Sagittarius

Unlike most of the signs that will be experiencing love or family related challenges, those born under Sagittarius need to take care of their job positions and finances. Their workplace will not be the happiest place until Pluto returns back to normal.

Capricorn

The retrograde motion will also influence Capricorns’ financial situation. They must not allow the discussion about money to bring them apart from their family member.

Aquarius

Aquarius is the scientific and innovative sign, always ready for action. The Pluto retrograde will be responsible for their emotions being frozen– they will lose the will to remain in movement and to communicate with others. They will become rather lethargic, so they need to make sure that this stage will not influence their relationships with others.

Pisces

This is period of tiredness for the Pisces, and similar to the Aquarius, they will lack energy to take any actions or make major changes. Maybe this is the right time for Pisces to rest and find their peace.

If you have been following the recent events, you must have started imagining missile attacks from Russia, Iran or North Korea. Well, it’s just natural to assume that your safety is at stake in case of a missile attack if you didn’t know this:

According to U.S. Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency, the USA is safe. The advanced technology system, that has cost the US $40 million and has taken decades to perfect, is named Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD).

GMD is a part of the Ballistic Missile Defense System and it’s designed to destroy limited intermediate-range and long-range ballistic missile threats in space to protect the US.

This system is in no way simple, as it is made up of a few advanced technology elements that serve particular purposes and work together to achieve the desired results.

The system is 24/7 active and prepared for any potential attacks. As the Missile Defense Agency states, the components communicate through the GMD communications network, which is a secure data and voice communication system that uses SATCOM and fiber-optic cabling for long haul communications.

How does the GMD work?

The purpose of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense is to intercept ballistic missiles mid-way in space.

Once the globally deployed sensors detect a missile threat, the Ground Support & Fire Control System receives data about the location and the trajectory of the missile. This system receives data from satellites and ground-based radars and uses that data to task and support the Ground-Based Interceptors.

The Ground-Based Interceptor is a multi-stage, solid fuel booster that carries a crucial element of the mission: the Exo-atmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV).

The Kill Vehicle weighs 150 pounds and is made up of more than 1,000 components. It contains no explosives, but uses the mere kinetic force (or the force of movement) of the collision with the intercepted missile to trigger the blast in space.

Once in space, the Kill Vehicle is guided by data sent by the Ground Support & Fire Control System components and its on-board sensors. Its final destination is the missile and the detonation from the collision happens space, thus preventing the missile from ever re-entering the atmosphere.

There is a total of 36 Ground-Based Interceptors emplaced in the USA. Their locations are at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

The whole system is operated by Warfighters of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion at Fort Greely, Alaska, and the 100th Missile Defense Brigade at Colorado Springs, Colorado. These two bases are in charge of the fire control, battle management, planning, tasking and threat analysis.

The Ground-Based Midcourse Defense has been proven to be effective in a number of successful flight tests and three tests that included the Ground-based Interceptors.

It has long been speculated that a comet could be behind the abrupt drop in temperature in the Northern Hemisphere, known as the Younger Dryas, and thus the mass extinction of the woolly mammoths. Although this speculation was recently dismissed, new archaeological finds have a different story to tell.

Archaeologists have found ancient stone carvings at Gobekli Tepe in Southern Turkey, which try to tell an astronomical story of the event moments before the start of the Younger Dryas.

While these carvings had nothing to say explicitly, the secret behind the mysterious symbols were revealed when experts at the University of Edinburgh tried to compare the carvings to the constellations that were present above Turkey thousands of years ago.

It turned out that these carvings were indeed representations of the night sky from that period and that they told a story of Earth from almost 13,000 years ago. The carvings suggest that Earth was hit by a swarm of comet fragments at the time when the mini ice-age struck.

A computer analysis of the pillar, known as the Vulture Stone, pinpointed the depicted comet strike to 10,950BC, which was the time the Younger Dryas struck, according to ice core data from Greenland.

Gobekli Tepe is thought to be the oldest temple site in the world, preceding Stonehenge by around 6,000 years. The research discovered that Gobekli Tepe had been used as an observatory for meteors and comets and that the people there had been astronomers for a very long time.

Dr. Martin Sweatman, one of the authors of the research paper, points that the research, along with the recent finding of widespread platinum anomaly across the North American continent, virtually seal the case in favor of the theory that a comet strike was the cause of the Younger Dryas.

The event that took place at that time was the spark that triggered the development of the first civilizations. With the sudden drop in temperatures, the people were forced to come together and try to find new ways of growing crops.

Until then, people had a vast supply of wild wheat and barley that had allowed them to establish permanent base camps. But with the sudden climate change, they had to start maintaining and growing the crops with the help of watering and selective breeding.

The rise of agriculture allowed the rise of the first towns and thus the first civilizations.

55 year old, Nick Mead, found five gold sticks worth over 2 million pounds in a Russian tank T54/69 which was once used by the Iraq military forces.

He and the mechanic Tod Chamberlain video tapped the action of opening the reservoir, hoping to find hidden ammunition.

Instead they found something way more interesting- five gold sticks of 11 pounds!

Baba Vanga (English: Granny Vanga) was a blind mystic who lived and made her prophecies in Bulgaria during the period of the two World Wars. The eerie truth about Baba Vanga was that all her predictions were very much accurate and people flocked to her house in Petrich, Bulgaria, to have their faith told by her.

Her way of making predictions looked simple: she would take a sugar cube over which the other person slept overnight and she would tell everything the person needed to know. However, the major predictions came to her in trances that looked frightening.

The simple visions she claimed to have come with the help of the ‘small’ forces, such as deceased relatives, while the major ones were given to her by the ‘major’ forces. She didn’t prefer the major predictions as they were exhausting and terrifying to experience.

Her popularity was so big, that even the Bulgarian tsar Boris III and later the communist government of Todor Zhivkov collaborated with her in solving cases of missing people.

The Bulgarian president and his daughter (who was Vanga’s close friend) weren’t the only ones that consulted her prophecies.

Vanga also gave her predictions to Adolf Hitler, which the he did not fancy, and sayings go that she predicted his demise and showed him the gun with which he would later shoot himself.

She predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and end of the Cold War, the end of the USSR, and Russian president Boris Yeltsin’s death and she claimed to know who the assassinator of John F. Kennedy was, but never revealed the name.

Regarding the present day, Vanga predicted the attack on the World Trade Center 9/11 2001 when she claimed that ‘steel birds’ would ‘attack the American brethren’.

She also predicted that the 44^th president would be African American, who would also be the last full-term president of the USA.

In her predictions, Baba Vanga tells an eerie story of World War 3

Many prophets have told their prophecies of a third World War, but what is frightening about Baba Vanga’s predictions is that most of her prophecies about the events that precede World War 3 seem to come to pass quite accurately.

Even though the dates she mentions are not quite accurate, the events that unfold seem to fall into place just the way she predicted.

Her predictions start with the Arab Spring 2010 and the fall of Syria, from where everything else would start moving towards World War 3.

In fact, Vanga claimed that WW3 would begin with the fall of Syria. She said that the great Muslim war would begin in Syria and would soon engulf Europe.

She said that Europe would receive a great influx of Muslim refugees and that during the World War, Europe would see massive devastation and would become uninhabitable.

The first to fall is Damascus, where there would be so much devastation that it would be utterly changed in appearance.

She also predicted a similar fate for Paris, which would be left in total destruction. In fact, she predicted Europe’s demise with people dying off of a skin disease, presumably caused by chemical weapons.

She noted that World War 3 would begin and end very fast and that the destruction of the nuclear weapons would be so great that no water will be drinkable.

To the whole story of the end of days, Vanga added that the 8^th president of Russia named Vladimir would restore the former might of Russia and bring peace to the world after the War.

Vanga is not the only one to have predicted that World War 3 is imminent. Mystic Horacio Villegas even points to an exact date of its start, and it’s just days away.

While a third World War has not emerged yet, many of Baba Vanga’s predictions fall into place and the events unfold in the order she mentions. Let’s just hope that this prediction won’t come true as the rest of her predictions did.

For more of Baba Vanga’s predictions, here’s an interesting YouTube video by FactsVerse.
