San Andreas fault 'locked, loaded and ready to roll' with big earthquake



Southern California's section of the San Andreas fault is "locked, loaded and ready to roll," a leading earthquake scientist said Wednesday at the National Earthquake Conference in Long Beach.  The San Andreas fault is one of California's most dangerous, and is the state's longest fault. Yet for Southern California, the last big earthquake to strike the southern San Andreas was in 1857, when a magnitude 7.9 earthquake ruptured an astonishing 185 miles between Monterey County and the San Gabriel Mountains near Los Angeles.  It has been quiet since then — too quiet, said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.

In his book “Mundane or National Astrology”, H.S. Green gives us the following rule:

“Earthquakes are often found to be associated with eclipses. An eclipse is always liable to cause seismic disturbances where it is visible, especially if it falls very close to the line of the horizon, i.e. the cusps of the first and seventh houses or of the meridian, i.e. the cusps of the tenth and fourth houses.”

To this we may add that the likelyhood further increases if the eclipse chart brings important planetary configurations to the angles [1].






The solar eclipse of March 8 at Los Angeles is placed on the descendant and part of a T-square with Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune on the angles so that the potential for an earthquake is very strong.





Even if it is not the big one that scientists are expecting, the next question is when is it likely to occur.  Two indicators point to a possibility in June 2016, perhaps close to the June 4 New Moon. The first indicator is the New Moon chart itself. Here the New Moon not only completes a Grand Cross with the powerful T-square of Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune but in addition the Cross straddles the horizon axis.






The second indicator comes from progressing the eclipse chart to June 9 when the eclipse T-square aligns with the meridian axis suggesting that approximately around this date, the eclipse energies could be released.

Poseidon, later adopted into Roman myth as Neptune was known as “Earthshaker”.  So finally, we note that for the stars conjunct Neptune, Diana Rosenberg lists  “unusually powerful earthquakes” and cites the following examples.

Besides the 75 CE Solar Eclipse path over Pompeii and Vesuvius, these stars were transited at the Great Alexandria Earthquakeof 365 CE that hit Knossos (Crete), Palestine, Greece, Dalmatia and Alexandria,Egypt; at the Great China Earthquake of 1556 that killed about 830,000, “one of the most devastating earthquakes in history”; in 1812 at the last and strongest (about 8.7 Ritcher) of the Great New Madrid, MO quakes, a 54 day series of massive earthquakes in the Mississippi Valley;  1811-12, at the terrible 7.5 Messina-Calabria quakes, tsunami and fires of December 1908 that left 160,000 dead; in 1995 when a 7.2 quake hit Kobe, Japan; this was Sun and Jupiter at the massive 8.8 earthquake/ tsunami off Maule, Chile in 2010 that moved the Earth off its axis; a 1979 solar eclipse here with a path of totality over Mt. St Helens, occurred 1 year and 1 month before its explosive 1980 eruption.

As the last example in the list shows eclipses can take their own time before they show up in earthquake events. However, we can still say that the New Moon of June 4 is one possible trigger for the big one!
