Redux, West Coast's Biggest Recorded Earthquakes
After finding what I think were some really striking commonalities between the earthquakes that occur in Parkfield, California (Parkfield Earthquake Series blog), I'm taking a second look at the biggest of the Earthquakes to hit the West Coast and am finding some interesting similarities there as well.
It's looking like we're heading into a period where the chances are much morely likely by Astrological terms to have an earthquake in California, a big one. The Saturn-Uranus-Pluto t-square is not necessarily an indicator of a huge earthquake the way I first suspected. Jupiter and Neptune have a big hand in when these things happen. Although some earthquakes seem to happen in relation to an Eclipse it doesn't seem to be a very regular thing. My Eclipse reading skills are barbaric so I can't say anything one way or another about that. I'm looking at event charts for big earthquakes that have hit the West Coast. This means that I'm assuming that different localities have earthquakes according to different transits.
What continues to come up in the charts of Earthquakes with freakish regularity is the presence of Jupiter in Cardinal Signs. The big earthquake down in Chile, 9.5, (May 22, 1960) even had a Jupiter in Capricorn! I've looked ahead at the "Large" size earthquakes of California and have found Jupiter in Cardinal about half of the time and if it's not in Cardinal then it will be angular in the chart (and most likely in the earth sign of Virgo).
As a matter of fact both of the biggest earthquakes, the Fort Tejon Earthquake of 1857 and the Cascadia Earthquake of 1700, have a prominence of outer planets in Cardinal Signs. So this immediately makes the time between June 2010 and June 2011 look mighty scary. Saturn will be in Libra, Jupiter will be in conjunction with Uranus in Aries, then they will sort of retrograde back into Pisces and then move forward together back into Aries. That would be between June 7, 2010 and June 5, 2011 with a Retrograde Period back into Pisces (conjunct Uranus Rx the whole time) between Sept. 10, 2010 and Jan. 23, 2011. Jupiter is in a Cardinal Sign for about a year every three years so this may not be the time. Uranus stays in a sign for about 7 years.
Saturn will enter Libra on Oct. 30, 2009, will Rx back into Virgo Apr. 8, 2010 through July 22, 2010, and will leave Libra on Oct. 2012.
These two big earthquakes both happened in the month of January so one might hone down a worrisome time for January, 2011. There will be a set of 3 Eclipses in a row during the month before that and it's difficult to know whether this will make the land more tense or ease some of the earth tension. Pluto will be in conjunction with the North Node at that point as well which indicates crisis.
I suspect that it might be a very difficult period politically and socially for people. Sometimes the Earth seems to back off when humanity is in upheaval. There is some talk of California possibly splitting in half politically, North and South, as it becomes more populated. This might be the big event. Trying to predict a Uranian event is just a wild goose chase and as Michael Lutin say, you don't want to think of your worst fears in the wake of a Pluto transit because Pluto will deliver it to your doorstep (I've personally found this to be true). I did notice, however, that the earth is sensitive to these things as the Parkfield Earthquake Series made a point out of skipping its 1944 due date, obviously in obvservance of WWII. Quite thoughtful.
Often droughts will come before big earthquakes. Northern California seems to be okay in that regard. I'm not sure how Southern California is doing. They are always a bit parched.
It seems that this upcoming July 21-22 2009 Eclipse could set off something and any planet hitting a key point in that chart could activate some intense stuff. The Eclipses will be moving into the Cardinal Axis for a while in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn. The June 26, 2010 Lunar Eclipse contains a Grand Square in Cardinal Signs which is disturbing. Sun-Mercury in Cancer opposing Pluto-Moon Capricorn (along with Nodes) squaring Jupiter-Uranus in Aries opposing Saturn 29 Virgo.
Jupiter will next be in the Cardinal Sign of Cancer from June 27, 2013 through July 17, 2014 roughly so this would be the next big opportunity. During that time Saturn will be in Scorpio, Uranus will be in Aries, Neptune will be in Pisces and Pluto will be in Capricorn. Part of the time the Nodal Axis will be in Scorpio. These are placements I would expect for a really big earthquake with a tsunami but I also think it would be a great transit for creating a new art movement so what do I know? At any rate in May-June 2014 Jupiter will oppose Pluto in Capricorn and square Uranus in Aries. There might be a Grand Water Trine of outer planets Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. If you've got kids, start sticking a paintbrush in their hands now so they'll be prepared to create the Big Un, cause it looks exciting.
Mercury is prominent in Earthquake charts. I'm just going to note that here.

The two biggest earthquakes on the West Coast/California are:
Cascadia Earthquake / Date and time of this earthquake is speculative
Jan. 26. 1700 9:00 pm Epicenter off shore of Northern California/Oregon Coast
Sun 8 Aquarius; Moon Aries (maybe Taurus); ASC for 9:00 pm is 24 Virgo; N 15 Virgo; MC 23 Gemini
Fort Tejon Earthquake
Jan. 9, 1857 8:20 am; between Parkfield and Cholame, California
Sun 20 Capricorn; Moon 11 Cancer; ASC 8 Aquarius; MC 27 Scorpio; NN 10 Aries
Both Earthquakes in month of January
Earthquakes happened 157 years apart.
The Cascadia Earthquake is thought to be part of a 500 year cycle of big Earthquakes on the Cascadia Fault line. 500 years is a big planetary return for all the planets according to a pamphlet I read a while ago. This is usually thought of as the Neptune-Pluto Return cycle but according to a pamphlet I read a while ago there is a 500 year cycle where all the planets return to the same spot at the same time (not in conjunction, of course). The article said that Mars' cycle is actually the one that keeps everyone else waiting. I like that ... a little inner planetary power.
The Fort Tejon Earthquake is related to the Parkfield Earthquakes which have had a 6.0 or bigger quake averaging every 21-22 years. Is on the San Andreas Fault Line. I talked about how this series seems strongly related to Jupiter and Saturn cycles and Solar Arc progressions.
If there's a cycle somehow linking these big earthquakes together then we're coming due: They happened 157 years apart and 157 years from the last one adds up to having another one around 2014. 157 years is closest to the Neptunian Cycle which is about 165 years. In 1700 Neptune was at 3 Aries. In 1857 Neptune was at 19 Pisces. 157 years from 1857 is 2014 when Neptune will be between 4 Pisces and 6 Pisces.
Both Earthquakes happened while many planets were in Cardinal Signs (mostly in early degrees):
- 1700: Neptune 4 Aries (H1); Uranus 8 Cancer (H10); Chiron 2 Libra (H1); MercuryRx-Jupiter 18-17 Capricorn (H4) (houses based on 9:00 pm time which is speculative.
- 1857 Jupiter 3 Aries (H2); NN 10 Aries (H2); Moon-Saturn 11 Cancer (H5); Sun 20 Capricorn (H12)
- 1700: Aquarius not on angles of this chart (but, as I said, time is speculative). Sun 8 Aquarius opposing Pluto 11 Leo and squaring Mars 7 Scorpio gives a nice Uranian fix.
- Uranus 8 Cancer is on an angle though (H10), time speculative on this chart. Uranus in Cancer in a Grand Trine with Saturn 2 Pisces and Mars 7 Scorpio
- 1857: Aquarius Rising conjunct Mercury-Chiron squaring Pluto (H3)Uranus 22 Taurus conjunct Taurus IC squaring Mars 27 Aquarius/Venus 1 Pisces
- As with the entire Parkfield Series Jupiter is in Cardinal Signs in both of these Earthquakes.
- 1700: Jupiter 17 Capricorn c. Mercury Rx 18 Capricorn trining NN 15 Virgo
- 1857: Jupiter 3 Aries conjunct NN 10 Aries. Sextiles Mercury/ASC 7-8 Aquarius and trines Moon/Saturn 11 Cancer.
Pluto.
- Pluto is in Fixed Signs for both Earthquakes.
- 1700: Pluto 11 Leo trining Neptune 4 Aries and in a t-square opposing Sun in Aquarius and square to apex Mars in Scorpio
- 1857: Pluto 4 Taurus Rx trining Mercury/ASC and squaring Mars 27 Aquarius/Venus 1 Pisces
- 1700: Merucry 18 Capricorn c. Jupiter 17 Cap trining NN 15 Virgo and ASC 24 Virgo (speculative)
- 1857: Mercury 7 Aquarius conjunct 8 Aquarius ASC conjunct 5 Aquarius Chiron / sextiles Jupiter 2 Aries-NN 10 Aries (H2) / squares Pluto 4 Taurus (H3)
1700: Mars 7 Scorpio: apex of t-square to Sun 8 Aquairus opposing Pluto 11 Leo. Also in a Grand Trine with Saturn 2 Pisces trine Uranus 8 Cancer.
1857: Mars 27 Aquarius: conjunct Venus 1 Pisces. Apex t-square to 27 Scorpio MC opposing Urnaus 22 Taurus / sextiles Pluto 4 Taurus.
It's interesting to look at the progressions between the Earthquakes as perhaps explaining a sort of Shock Wave effect that's going on.
Aspects of planets in 2010 to 1700 quake:
In 1700 Prog.Mars will be at 14 Aquarius conjunt quake's Sun at 8 Aquarius.
Prog. ASC and Prog. Moon conjunct Sun Aquarius.
T. Jupiter conjunct Neptune 4 Aries
Prog. Sun 12 Cancer conjunct t. Saturn 11 Cancer conjunct event Uranus 8 Cancer. Progressed Mercury at 4 Cancer.
Solar Arcs are extremely revealing in the Parkfield Earthquake Series. They are pretty interesting to look at progressing from 1700 earthquake to 1857 earthquake to Earthquake I set for Apr, 2010 (the arcs show that this date may be a bit early)
1700 quake Arced to 1857 quake:
1857 SA Sun 12 Cancer c. 1700 Uranus 8 Cancer
1857 SA Saturn 6 Leo c. 1700 Pluto 11 Leo
1857 SA Neptune 7 Virgo c. NN 17 Virgo
1857 SA Moon 30 Virgo c. 1700 Chiron 2 Libra
1857 SA Pluto 14 Capricorn c. 1700 Jupiter 17 Capricorn-Mercury RX 18 Capricorn
1857 SA Mars 11 Aries c. 1700 Neptune 4 Aries
1700 quake Arced to Apr. 2010 (fictitious date):
SA Mars apex t-square 11 Virgo c. NN 16 Virgo / this square SA Sun 12 Sagittarius opposing Pluto 14 Gemini
SA Neptune 7 Aquarius c. 1700 Sun 8 Aquarius
SA Moon 30 Aquarius c. 1700 Venus 26 Aquarius-Saturn 2 Pisces
SA Uranus 12 Taurus squaring 1700 Sun 8 Aquarius
2013-14 looks like it might make things line up a bit better as far as Solar Arcs go. One can go on and on with this.

California's in its third year of drought right now (all of it, not just the south). I live in the normally rain-soaked far-north county of Humboldt where it's not too bad really, but we really do need to have a couple of wet winters to replenish the snowpack or else the salmon are probably doomed. The other downside for the county is that the unusually dry summers have been crazy-good weather for our number one agricultural product, marijuana, driving down the prices after two years of amazing harvests. All this while the Great Valley in central California is drying up and getting ready to blow away... you know, the valley that provides most of the vegetables for the country? heh
Thanks so much for the report, EHD.
I thought we had just squeaked by with enough rain to avoid another drought in Northern California. I had no idea this was causing the problems for the salmon, thought it was that New York Skin Doctor who told everyone that eating Salmon compulsively would keep the wrinkles away.
Californians can grow pot anywhere. I heard that people in the central valley were buying track houses and setting up huge farms inside. Nice to know that its cheap. They should legalize it and charge huge taxes to help with the budget crisis.
Was watching a program that mentioned the Indonesian Tsunami of 2004. It was at the beginning of a cardinal sign as well. Since they think it was between 9.1 and 9.3 on the Richter scale, it would be interesting to see if you find any other hallmarks from it.
Thanks for the idea, Calif. Girl. That earthquake had Sun in Capricorn, Jupiter in Libra and Saturn in Cancer, all Cardinal! I sort of remember that it was a full moon earthquake but the time I used pulled up a Gemini Moon so I may have plugged something in wrong. I know that a lot of astrologers have written about it so that'll require some research.
EHD, I just read in the newspaper this morning that California is considered to be in a statewide drought for 3 years now. I just happen to live in the one spot that's not doing too badly. At any rate, that's a bad thing for the farmers and maybe an indicator for an earthquake (and also for anyone else who wants to take a bath).
