1. Introduction

Analysis of the trajectory of the Comet Hale-Bopp (further referred to as HB) relative to its astronomical peculiarities and astrological interactions which include consideration of four conjunctions of HB and Sun in three cardinal points and corresponding planetary aspects, Fixed Stars and other factors (eclipses, aphelions, perihelions, HB's Perigee, etc.) allow the following conclusion:

The Comet Hale-Bopp might be given the cardinal type and characterized by the element Water and Earth-Fire. The influence of HB is specified by factors peculiar to (a) opposition of Mars and Saturn, (b) difficult aspects of Sun and Moon, (c) influence of a series of Fixed Stars presenting the properties of Mars, Saturn and Uranus, at (d) neutral or easy aspects to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The critical points of the HB's trajectory closely correlate with definite critical points of transit constellations for the Earth. Since these factors are rather stable in the sense of their recurrence, it makes sense to use them for the purpose of forecasting.

The goal of this Forecast consists in (I) detecting the moments of time and respective geographical regions where maximal concentration of Space and Earth energies sharply increase the probability of coming into existence of cataclysms with the aim of using these data for both (II) detailing them and (III) averting the consequences of these possible cataclysms. For this purpose, the planetary situations corresponding to time points of maximal tensions are mapped on the Earth's surface where the MC is set up to the key planets.
