Astrology of the Mexico earthquake




A strong earthquake has struck central Mexico, killing more than 140 people. The 7.1 magnitude quake toppled dozens of buildings in the capital, Mexico City, including a school where children are reported to be trapped. There has also been widespread damage in Morelos and Puebla states and in Mexico State. The tremor struck while many people took part in an earthquake drill exactly 32 years after a quake killed thousands in Mexico City. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-41327593

Earthquakes are found to be associated with eclipses and important planetary conjunctions and oppositions. An eclipse is always liable to cause seismic disturbances where it is visible, especially if it falls very close to the line of 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. Of these two lines, that of the meridian is more important; and that of the lower meridian i.e. the cusp of the fourth house is the most important of all. In addition to this, certain of the zodiacal signs are more closely associated with earthquakes than are others. H.S.Green, Mundane or National Astrology



A chart for the total solar eclipse of August 21 at Mexico City has the eclipse placed on the meridian – a very significant position for possible earthquakes. But it is the transit of Venus [29le] on September 19, over the eclipse degree that has triggered the eclipse chart. 






In addition, there are a couple of other indicators. The first one being the New Moon [27vi] which places the Neptune-Mercury-Mars opposition (part of a complex configuration with Jupiter-Uranus) on the meridian axis at Mexico City.

Neptune [12pi] on the MC is conjunct iota Pegasi [14pi] in the  constellation of Pegasus.
Poseidon (Roman name Neptune) was the great Olympian god of the sea, rivers, flood and drought, earthquakes, and horses. In the historical period, Poseidon was often referred to by the epithets Enosichthon, Seischthon and Ennosigaios, all meaning "earth-shaker" and referring to his role in causing earthquakes.  Legend has it that when his creation Pegasus, the Flying Horse,  stomped its feet there were earthquakes. For stars in this area, Diana Rosenberg mentions “unusually powerful earthquakes” and gives the following examples :

The gigantic eruption of Thera, Greece in the summer of 1628 BCE was preceded by Saturn transit  in this area at the Capricorn Ingress; these stars were featured as well when a severe quake “from the heart of Vesuvius” hit Pompeii in Feb 63 CE, 16 years  before  a great eruption buried the city; at the Jan 75 CE SolEcl (path over Vesuvius, 4 years 7 months before the great eruption; at the massive Lisbon earthquake of 1755, estimated at 9 on the Ritcher scale; in 1783 when Mt. Lataki, S Iceland  split open 8-mile stretch – fountains of lava erupted at a rate surpassing Niagara Falls; at the Great New Madrid, MO quake of 1811, the first (and the 2nd strongest) in a 54-day series of massive earthquakes that hit the Mississippi Valley in 1811-12; at the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelee that killed 29,000 – the entire population of Martinique; at the terrible Tokyo-Yokohama 8.3 earthquake of 1923 (143,000 dead, 200,000 injured) and in 1993 when scientists studying the Galeras Volcano in Colombia were caught in a sudden eruption: 9 were killed. Mars was here at the calamitous 9.0 Japanese quake-Tsunami of 2011 that wiped out entire cities, killing tens of thousands and severely damaging Tukushima Saiichi nuclear plant.

At the reported time [1] of the quake [18:15 UTC] the same planetary configuration of Neptune-Mercury-Mars squares the meridian axis!



Finally, the quake has taken place just 3 days before the Libra Ingress of the Sun. A chart for the ingress at Mexico City, has the Jupiter-Uranus opposition (part of the same complex configuration with Neptune-Mercury-Mars as in the New Moon chart) aligned with the meridian. For Uranus on the IC, H.S. Green writes….  “earthquakes, fall of buildings and explosions”.
