Astrology of the Indonesia Earthquake




Poseidon (Neptune) – God of Earthquakes




A 7.9 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of western Indonesia, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reports. There have been no immediate reports of damage. The USGS said the earthquake struck at 19:49 local time (12:49 GMT). It said the epicentre was 808km (502 miles) south-west of the city of Padang, and 10km deep. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35704845

Earthquakes are found to be associated with eclipses and with important planetary conjunctions and oppositions. An eclipse is always liable to cause seismic disturbances especially if it falls very close to the line of the horizon or of the meridian. [1]. 




A chart for the upcoming lunar eclipse drawn for the quake epicenter [4s55; 94e16] has the luminaries placed on the horizon axis fulfilling the condition mentioned above.






If the eclipse serves as the “hour hand” of the cosmic clock, here today’s last quarter Moon chart serves as the “minute hand”. Notice that the Moon [11sa] is on the MC conjunct the star Antares [10sa] while the Sun is conjunct Neptune [9pi] on the Ascendant.  Diana Rosenberg links both these areas with “earthquakes” among other things. And in addition let us remember that Neptune or Poseidon was in Greek mythology connected with earthquakes [2].





Finally, a chart for the actual event serves as the “second hand” of the clock. Here the star Benetnash is just rising. Of this star Elsbeth Ebertin writes:

In an important position in a mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives in calamities such as mine accidents, collapse of houses and bridges, mountain slides, earth tremors and catastrophes caused by weather. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, no.46, p.57, under the name Benetnash]
