The recent 2011 Christchurch Earthquake and Japan Earthquake‘s have created a lot of interest in earthquake prediction around the world. These stories have been some of our most popular blogs with much discussion and people putting forward various prediction techniques they have found on the net, and also sharing their personal intuition and feelings about what is happening on our planet.
California is prone to earthquakes and many of our readers come from this densely populated state. The nuclear emergency in Japan has implications for California as there are two nuclear power stations operating in the state. The Diablo Canyon Power Plant is in a danger zone. “the Hosgri fault, had been discovered several miles offshore. This fault had a 7.1 magnitude quake 10 miles offshore on November 4, 1927″ [1]. The San Onofre Nuclear plant is further south, both are located directly on the coast. Given what we have seen in Japan, is that smart or dumb?
California Earthquake Prediction
I’ve put a dozen charts in my file from major earthquakes in California over the last 150 years. One thing I noticed is that on most occasions, there was an eclipse visible in California beforehand, mostly lunar eclipses. The map on the left is for the lunar eclipse before the 1906 earthquake. Another common link was conjunctions, squares and oppositions involving the outer planets. I compared the major quakes to the mundane horoscope of America, California, and San Francisco but didn’t find anything startling.
I did find a strong correlation between two of the strongest and deadliest earthquakes in California, and the degrees of the zodiac that were in common are going to be heavily triggered in late 2012 and into 2013. The two earthquakes were the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, magnitude 7.8 which killed over 3000 people. The other one was in the same region, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, magnitude 6.9 which killed 63 people.
The charts for these earthquakes only show the major aspects of interest to keep it simple. The 1908 San Francisco earthquake had Uranus opposite Neptune. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake had Saturn and Neptune opposite Jupiter, on the same Cancer/Capricorn axis, same degrees even.
There are two reasons I believe that these previous major earthquakes are important for predicting future earthquakes in the area. The first reason is because of eclipses. The lunar eclipse a couple of months before the 1906 earthquake was totally visible in California as you can see in the picture above. The lunar eclipse a couple of months before the 1989 earthquake was also visible, though it was not as close. Looking ahead, in May 2012, a solar eclipse spans the Pacific Ring of Fire. It starts in Japan and ends in Texas, passing just to the north of San Francisco.
The solar eclipse in May 2012 coincides with the beggining of some major planetary alignments aspecting both the 1906 and 1989 earthquake charts. The most important of these is from Uranus square Pluto, with Pluto around 9 Cancer. Another big influence comes from the December 2012 Jupiter Yod. At 8 Gemini, Jupiter will be conjunct Jupiter in the 1906 earthquake chart (just 21′ when counting for precession).
California Earthquake Prediction Dates
Looking at the transits to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the high risk periods would be:
July 2011, Solar Eclipse opposite Uranus, conjunct Neptune. South Node conjunct Pluto.
March 2012, Pluto square Mercury, Pluto opposite Neptune, Neptune conjunct Moon, Saturn opposite Sun, and South Node conjunct Jupiter.
May 2012, the Solar eclipse passing over northern California, Pluto square Mercury, Pluto opposite Neptune, Jupiter conjunct Mars.
December 2012 to January 2013, Pluto square Mercury, Pluto conjunct Uranus, Pluto opposite Neptune, Neptune conjunct Moon, South Node conjunct Mars, Jupiter Yod conjunct Jupiter.
April 2013, Uranus conjunct Mercury, Uranus square Uranus, Uranus square Neptune.
August 2013, Pluto square Mercury, Pluto opposite Neptune, Jupiter square Mercury, Jupiter opposite Uranus, Jupiter conjunct Neptune.
October – November 2013, Pluto square Mercury, Pluto conjunct Uranus, Pluto opposite Neptune, Uranus conjunct Mercury, Uranus square Uranus, Uranus square Neptune, Saturn opposite Venus.
The two highest risk periods look like August 2013 with the Jupiter Pluto opposition hitting the Cancer-Capricorn axis, and then October November 2013 with the Uranus Pluto square hitting that axis.

You guys ROCK! Thankyou.
Cheers. Seems like a talent you have there but like many gifts there would be some drawback, the seizures for you I guess. I have trouble getting both sides of my brain connecting
I really didn’t mean to take-up a whole thread trying to absorb how to operate the website, here. My apologies.
Jamie, for what it’s worth I don’t have grand mals nor even shake at all when in a seize. My particular flavor of epilepsy just makes me studder in speech for a few hours. It’s quite mild actually.
THe depth issue – /earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/faq/?faqID=250
I don’t doubt there are a few more things which could be fed into this – personally I agree with the Electric UNiverse paradigm and that Earthquakes are electrically driven – i.e Earth acts like a capacitor – absorbing electrically charged protons etc via the iron core and discharging through the same. The pathways the discharge runs through are another story but think of a bolt of lightning and how it spreads out and how some arms of it are stronger than others and so on, then if on fork was to extend into a subduction zone or other weakness – this could be a weakness in the crystal structure for instance.
I know there is ample record of blue lights and flashes seen prior to earthquakes.
I don’t know what the pattern or stats for EQs after solar storms is but there is likely a correlation. I think with the moon it also has to be in perigee to afford a prediction??
I’d stick my neck out a bit further and suggest there are bigger influences coming in to play now based on the fact the whole of our solar system is becoming “hotter” this probably means more brillliant/radiant.
The 2004 Asian tsunami and EQ has been directly connected to a wave of gamma ray from the galactic centre. PAul LA Violette has written extensively about this and his book, Earth Under Fire is a must read for astrologers who want proofs in the solid world!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oURVtGKW420 – herewith an interview with him. He’s not completely over gravity though- and the wave is usually described as gravitational where in fact its electrical in origin and charges up whatever is in its wake.
I could write an essay on how activities from the Galactic Centre affect down to the human form – and indeed all life form on Earth…
’nuff for now!
Here’s the depth issue if you can’t click on the link.
What is the significance of the depth of an earthquake?
A: Earthquakes occur at depths from near the Earth’s surface to about 700 km deep. (See Determining the Depth of an Earthquake.) Below that depth, rocks are too hot and ductile, so they tend to bend and flow rather than break in a brittle manner. The strength of shaking from an earthquake diminishes with increasing distance from the earthquake’s source, so the strength of shaking at the surface from an earthquake that occurs at 500km deep is considerably less than if the same earthquake had occurred at 20 km depth.
Also, the depths of earthquakes gives us important information about the Earth’s structure and the tectonic setting where the earthquakes are occurring. The most prominent example of this in in subduction zones, where plates are colliding and one plate is being subducted beneath another. By carefully plotting the location and depth of earthquakes associated with a subduction zone, we can see details of the zone’s structure, such as how steeply it is dipping, and if the down-going plate is planar or is bending. These details are important because they give us insight into the mechanics and characteristics of the deformation in the subduction zone.
Accurately determining the depth of an earthquake is typically more challenging than determining its location, unless there happens to be a seismic station close and above the epicenter. So generally, errors on depth determinations are somewhat greater than on location determinations.
Here’s an article which explains electricity, lightning etc in EQs and volcanoes – great pix and links. At an Electrc UNiverse conference a couple of years ago, world expert Wal Thornhill informed that the ash cloud over the Iceland volcano (with the long name..!!) was charged in a way not seen before. So much more to run on this I’m sure!

Very insightful, indeed! Conspiracy theory aside, what do you know about HAARP? In short, everything that you have just said is and can literally be ‘created’ by this monster of thing the US has up in Alaska. It operates at the same shortwave level that tectonic movement happens.
I don’t think HAARP can produce a fraction of what the universe can! How on earth can any earth machine counteract a galactic superwave or a high scale X flare?
I don’t know what you mean by shortwave level same as tectonic movements. – can you explain? I know people think HAARP can do a lot but – a GSW is a volley of cosmic rays – that is gamma rays travelling at the speed of light – so we won’t see them coming. Maybe HAARP can deflect a smaller one but something which spreads across the entire galaxy? I wouldn’t think so! And I doubt very much HAARP could produce anything of that magnitude.
I think with words like HAARP/US/OIL etc we have to look at what these are metaphors for. Metaphors as part of a belief system and ask why we want to believe i such things – after all, its just conjecture mostly. A bunch of say so doesn’t make fact.
And what if – as HAARP is experimenting with magnetic fields it might be trying to do something constructive and protect the myriad satellite systems which are so vital but under siege from cosmic rays? Are conspiracies dreamed up by people who are just very misinformed? Who knows.
I’m sure we’d all like to stop EQs but it just isn’t possible – and if the Earth has its own life, its not desirable either.
Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9QtZkT8OBQ
and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mP-RRLAYUc
There really isn’t anything conspiracy theorist about it. We’ve got a shortwave generator that is capable of controlling the weather and generating earthquakes if need be.
Its not controlling the weather in either of the two countries I inhabit! So I can’t comment on that!
I’m going to disagree with you re the EQs. But since you’re convinced, can you explain how creating an earthquake is actually done at a specific location?
/www.bibliotecapleyades.net/archivos_pdf/laviolette_cosmicrayvollysgalacticcente.pdf
This is PLB’s paper on GSWs. It seems that one such GSW was responsible for the PLeistocene mass extinction . Is HAARP up to this/able to deflect something like this?
Wow. I’ve not previously met anyone whom has so many answers before. I wasn’t in disagreement with you(1) and if I were to take the time to make the whole HAARP thing make sense to you this would become a thesis for which at the moment I don’t have it in me. I just got back from a 40 mile bike ride. It’s beautiful out today and I felt that my legs needed the workout!
I do understand the quality of what an X-flare is and as for such cosmic rays generating such movement you’re right. I was only stating that there is a tool out there that is capable of generating such phenomenon as localized tectonic movement. It is done by bouncing millions of mega-watts of shortwave off the ionosphere(pushing it if you will) and the direct result is literally and bouncing effect that sends it right back down to earth(in any directed location) where it penetrates the earths crust down several miles if need be.
It may sound pseudoscience but our US Navy website very clearly states that we will “own the weather by 2010″. I am no educator on the subject. It tends to piss me off too much. I am not in approval of the use of weaponized ground-penetrating, weather-generating shortwave.
Your arguments are valid. Like I said, I’m not disagreeing with you. If you feel like pursuing an education on it get onto youtube and look-up HAARP. Then look-up HAARP generated earthquakes. Then look-up HAARP weather control. THEN, if you ‘re feeling conspiracy theorist, look-up HAARP mind control.
It’s not like all of these things don’t come down to Hertz!!! They all do!
Lololol! Damn… I didn’t realize that this “astrology” forum played “hard-ball” like it does… or maybe I’ve somehow by accident gotten under Uberqueenofwands’ skin.
I certainly do apologize.
My PHD certified 147 I.Q. might not be able to keep up with the likes of intelligence found here. Or maybe, the Pisces in me is indeed very sensitive(that’s a language you’re sure to understand, right?)and feel that ‘this’ fish may just have double-back up stream to safer waters.
Then again, the Cancerian within me accompanied by my Virgo moon just might be up to the challenge 10-fold.
We’ll have to see.
Hey! Don’t swim away. I’m enjoying this discussion. I’m very open minded about all sorts of “conspiracy” theories, indeed ANY alternative explanations of how the Universe works. I’m not a scientist, so my poetic brain struggles with distinguishing between what is real and what isn’t. But we’d never learn anything if we all agreed with each other.
Communications over the internet are odd sometimes, I have had some real humdinger disagreements with people when I have first “met” them online and then afterwards become the best of friends.
No Matthew, you didn’t get under my skin. I just ask questions. I’m ultimately a wordsmith and my final analysis is always n the words people use. I think Stephen Hawking made a point in A Brief History of Time in the last para/page?? about the use of words and how we understand them.
Having been around the block a bit, I’m sure I’m old enough to be your Mum, I’ve watched and been part of all sorts of changes and taken various points of view. My current one is that we all speak in metaphors. I’d quote my favourite guru on this, Christopher Hyatt but my cat is alseep on the book. My basic intelligence says if I want to keep my skin intact, don’t move the cat…
Anyway, as a Jung based Esoteric astrologer, I like to analyse what the metaphors are. In the 60′s we saw dilemmas of Neptune based in relationship and subtly the victim/saviour archetype played out in relatonship. We also saw the right or refusal for self expression become a sacred cause through PLuto in Leo and so on. Now we see Neptune speaking through Scorpio and the buzz words are conspiracy… then we get more words – elite/oil/HAARP/cover up and so on. My real interest is what constitutes the
tenets of a belief system because belief systems are often where we self fail and fail as groups.
RE EQs/Electric universe/HAARP etc – If I go into my subject of Esoteric Astrology I actually find a stunning parallel between that and Plasma Cosmology. HAARP is interesting – although I couldn’t begin to say I know much about it except that it experiments with electromagnetic fields. In Esoteric astrology this would count as a Ray 7 activity and as such very timely for now. Our whole understanding of space right down to our own bodies must be reexamined via electromagnetics.
As any kind of astrologer I want to be able to apply this to astrology and ultimately the person who asks for my analysis of their chart.
Please come out of your Cancerian shell and share more of your fantastic IQ with us! We all want truth – in my case I say this is a place where karma no longer exists… a big ask!!! But thus far the best we can get is information and discussion! As Marina says – we’d never learn anything if we didn’t discuss anything!
p.s I never expose my IQ to strangers…!!!
Wow! Lets all remember that we are all here on this planet to listen and learn, we all are teachers to each other.No one really knows for sure, whats going to happen, however lets not judge,cause ridicule,blame or pain amongest ourselves.Change is a wonderful experience, we need to embrace the unknown and be open minded to all opinons, value each other, appreciate the goodness that we all have to offer, generate these vibrations to everyone, be fearless,feel the love within,celebrate life because time awaits all of us everyday,strive for happiness:)
We had an earthquake 5.6 on the scale 23 miles from where I live in Northern California. Neptune is just coming into orb of conjunct natal Mars. Never been one to look at Neptune, always preferred the Traditional planets, but now I find myself looking.
Well some interesting comments above, although what I am about to say may not tickle everybody’s fancy. But here goes. Number 1- The theory that was purported by some scientist’s in the past, that dinosaurs produced all the oil for us to consume as we see fit is a fallacy as far as I am concerned. I have come to realize that crude in the cavities of the earth may be an integral part in relation to the functioning of the tectonic plates. Since oil has a density of .85g/cc and and off course water has a density of 1.0g/cc. In this case gives us the understanding of why oil floats on water. If this is the case, It stands to reason that crude is actually in the plates for the purpose of stability,helping the plates to float on the mantle in combination with the shape of the bottom of the plates. The crude may also help the plates elevate above the water since it has a lower density.
Now the problem I see hear is that when we remove the oil from the earth. Some may not know this. During the Oil mining process, water is forced into the cavity to help elevate the oil to the surface for it’s extraction. Thereby changing the density of the plates. The addition of .15 g/cc density. This change in density could place more pressure on the mantle Thereby causing volume displacement. (This would also suggest that there is a significant amount of oil in the plates). Now if volume displacement occurs. It could suggest an imbalance in the plates in which the virgin plates (plates which have never been mined) having a lighter density. This could cause the lighter plates to rise caused by the displacement of the mantle. Now, I would suggest the lighter plate in this scenario would be the pacific plate. (Ring of Fire) In combination with other forces such as the sun’s gravity when following the analemma (Path of the earth around the sun or orbit). It could cause gravitational effects on certain areas of the earth at certain times of the year. So we have push from the volume displacement of the mantle and pull from the gravitational effects of the sun and the other planets on the pacific plate at certain times of the year. I would keep an eye on the pacific plate. My opinion only.
I’ve since stepped-away from the discussion but I do feel that Analoger’s got a very good point. I’ve been out of town and upon arrival back in the bay area I hit the USGS site and saw the very quake in question. Irm’s got a good point too.
well, both oil mining and weather [HAARP] technology quite logically impact the physical and energetic features of the planet we live on and thereby affect us as humans (given also that our bodies are literally made of the materials of the earth). Just on a logical level, none of these ideas are particularly riveting nor far-fetched. It is just matter-of-fact. Weaponry and technology quite obviously impact and change the energetic and physical structure, just as they would on a smaller scale with a human being’s body. I am late to the discussion, and probably won’t join in anyway, but I just don’t see the point of disagreement as being particularly noteworthy. It’s splitting hairs, as they say.
Sometimes these arguments feel so surreal, and can be a distraction, perhaps necessary at times. But the bottom line is that shifts can and do happen, sometimes with monumental results for us humans [ie, earthquakes]. It’s useful to consider why. But it’s also a bit like when you see the results of a research study: “Studies show children who eat more fast food and don’t excercise, are fatter”….or something like that. Um, yea.
Um, yea…of course weather technology is out there-have you looked around? it’s the second coming of atlantis, and it does not take scientific research to figure that out….and of course drilling for oil and all mining, shifts the earth’s structure. OF COURSE, people! Hello!!
So, anyway, it’s interesting to do the research and make the calculations-but at the end of the day, now what? I don’t have a problem with arguments; I am just mentioning that this one seems surreal and not really a disagreement. Why would people be shocked that powers that be would use that power for nefarious reasons? why would people be shocked that invasive destruction of the earth and it’s resources, could cause plate shifting?
WHY is this all so far fetched and mind-blowing?
I don’t know where I came from-lol-but i think i’m time travelling backwards sometimes.
But, I LOVE this website, and the great minds in the comments section-it’s all cerebrally fascinating.
Do you have any theories on how the nuclear tests/attacks from the 40,s onwards may have impacted the environment?
Drilling for oil/mining etc can never go deep enough to cause earthquakes. Most earthquakes are at a depth way below mining levels. They are also in areas where there is no drilling. Areas such as South Africa which have huge mining industries are virtually devoid of Earthquakes.
The Earth has a magnetic interior which conducts from distances way beyond the scope of gravity physics via different media. It will consistently quake depending on what it conducts and discharges. Hence lightning discharge is seen in earthquakes and volcanoes.
Drilling for oil and mining are of no consequence for earthquakes. The idea just suits a trend of thinking.
Bottom line, the earth will shift. Life will go on, it just might not be as comfortable.
I agree. I think the May 20th eclipse will trigger a major earthquake somewhere on the west coast (where I live).
Great, Just great.
