OMG My Compass is Pointing the "Wrong" Way!!!

So i was out talking with the neighbors and cleaning my car. i came across my compass i bought just a couple years ago. I was holding it in front of the house which it used to point EAST since the house faces stark east since forever.

but it's saying start SOUTHEAST instead and North has moved more toward where the sun sets. I magnetized a pin then hung it on a thread, and got the same result!

whats going on anybody know? anyone else's compass not working like it used to?? im in nyc metro area.

The magnet underneath the dial could have shifted. Compare it to another compass.

A place to start:

Compasses going crazy... Theory and reasearch

thanks for the link, i just glimpsed and seems like everyone was getting north shifting to the east. i think i'm getting north shifting to the west, as i'm getting southeast where i used to get east (on but the compass and the newly made needle compass). i saw the cork way on the thread and im going to go do that one in a bit and see, as i just did the thread in the middle way.

Sounds like it's time to buy a new compass or learn how to read one in the first place

My compass in my car always says NE and when I get home it says SE, probably caused by the 14 tesla magnetic accelerator in the basement. I think the compass likes the magnets on my speakers in my car though LOL. On a less serious note, apparently magnetic north is on the move (has been for quite a while) at around 40km's per year I think, towards Russia. Maybe it's speeding up? And then there was the sun rising 2 days early in Norway or Greenland or one of those seriously north countries. Something is wrong with the world but I don't think it's happening that fast (your compass) just yet...

The sun rose two days ago for me. Why is that a conspiracy?

Um, because when you live that far north you literally have a season of daylight and a season of darkness.

Beat me to it LadySkadi; star for you lol

thanks i just read the below article and it confirms magnetic north is like you say, moving fast west-ward. i am seeing a 45 westward change on my compass and the article has confirmed a 10+ degree of change. 10 degrees still sounds plenty to be off, as it then confirms our magnetic poles have shifted what, 10-11 degrees already?

No, it says the declination at Washington, DC is ten degrees. The change of the declination is only 0.1 degrees per year. You might have seen 10 degrees of change over the last century, but you probably aren't using hundred year old maps.

Dang, now I kind of want to find a hundred year old map and see what the declination was.

This goes along the lines in this recent prophecy from April:

The Huge Catastrophe Seen in Meditation

All directions will soon be lost since the earth is sloping steeply in the universe. And good people will be safe. Keep in mind that Falun Dafa(Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in daily life) is good and it has been released to mankind to help people during the End of Times as we know them.

Oh, my apologies. I understand now, I have no idea what I was thinking. I'm aware that the great white north has months of darkness/light and vice versa on the south pole.

Nothing to see here... I made a mistake =)

I think the key word is "early" as in two days "earlier" than it happens every year.

No worries - I've certainly miss-read some posts here too and they have made for some interesting misunderstandings (sometimes funny and sometimes not so much) Lol. Cheers.
