A powerful earthquake off the Solomon Islands
on 6th February generated a small, but deadly tsunami on Wednesday,
The Associated Press reported. The 8.0 magnitude temblor, which struck near the
town of Lata, on Santa Cruz in Temotu province, prompted watches and warnings
for the Solomons and other South Pacific nations. The Solomons comprise more than 200
islands with a population of about 552,000 people. They lie on the "Ring
of Fire" – an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around
the Pacific Rim and where about 90 percent of
the world's quakes occur.
Earthquakes
are found to be associated with eclipses and with important planetary
conjunctions and oppositions. If these two factors are combined, that is to
say, if at the time of the eclipse (or its subsequent activation by transits)
there is an important planetary conjunction or opposition, the probability of
earthquakes is much increased. The four
fixed signs and the early degrees of cardinal signs are significantly active
during earthquakes and these are usually occupied by planets which are either
rising, setting, culminating or on the nadir.
Shown above
is the chart of the lunar eclipse of 29th November 2012 at Lata. This
eclipse was activated by the Jupiter station direct at 6 Ge on 30th January. A
Mars-Pluto conjunction at 8 Capricorn is
placed on the nadir of the chart- another a critical degree for eclipses on
Pacific Rim of Fire [1]. Progressing this chart to 6th February brings the
Ascendant to 4cp45 conjunct Pluto-Mars (8cp) and square Uranus (4ar) providing the trigger for the eclipse.
Besides the
effect of the eclipse, on 4th February, a conjunction of Mars and Neptune ( Poseidon the
‘Earth Shaker’ [2]) took place at 2pi –
another critical degree for eclipses on the Pacific Rim.[1].
On 6th
February, the date of the earthquake, the Sun was at 17aq square the nodal axis
22 Scorpio-Taurus. This is a phenomena termed a
Moon Wobble which occurs when the Sun forms a T-square to the lunar nodes. The
energy is similar to that associated with eclipses, when the New or Full Moon
aligns closely with the nodes.
Astrologer Carl
Payne Tobey (1902-1980) who coined the term Moon Wobble discovered that major disasters took place not only in association with
eclipses but also during a Moon Wobble. These types of problems are more likely
if other troubling planetary configurations occur at the same time. The most
notable times for disastrous occurrences range from a few days before to a few
days following the exact aspect.
According
to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the magnitude-8.0 earthquake struck at
01:22 UTC on February 6, 2013 (Tuesday evening, June 5, in continental U.S. ). A chart
for the moment shows the Sun at the MC in a T-square to the moon’s nodes on the horizon perfectly in accord with Tobey’s research.
Astrologers
have noticed that the effect of lunations (new moon, full moon, eclipses) can
take place even before they occur. The Solomon Island
earthquake presents us with one such example. The New Moon of 10th Feb
just 4 days after the event is placed exactly on the descendant forming a T-square to the nodes – what has
been earlier referred to as a ‘Moon wobble’.
Finally, Celeste
Teal has chronicled how earthquakes tend to happen when the transiting Nodes
pass over an eclipse point. The North Node [22sc02] is currently passing over
the 14th November total eclipse degree [21sc57].
Note:
Another interesting insight comes from ancient Chinese astrology. The Yod formed by the lunar eclipse has one of the legs, Venus and Saturn, conjunct the stars of Corona Borealis. This area was given several names. It was Kang-Tchi, the Moat of the Court, representing the moat surrounding an island like palace where the Emperor lived. It was also Lien-So, the Garland and Lien-Ying, the Endless enclosure. With a little imagination, these are perfect descriptions of an island surrounded by water or even of the Pacific Rim of Fire which resembles a garland.
In addition Manilius' astrological influences for the constellation Corona Borealis gives the cultivation of gardens, growing flowers, and arranging flowers into garlands.

[1]Chiron’s position in these two
quakes reveals another sensitive degree area in the zodiac, namely, the first
few degrees of the mutable signs.
The other sensitive degrees are 7º
to 9º of the cardinal signs, which activate fault lines when transited by an
outer planet. The earthquakes mentioned here are all located around the
so-called Pacific Rim of Fire, which is
described as the edge of the Pacific tectonic plate that spontaneously shifts
to trigger earthquakes.

his role in causing earthquakes. Wikipedia
