Earthquake at Chile – Astrological pointers.

Written by Jayasree saranathan on 01-03-2010 at Chennai, India

It was a case of mixed feeling to read the news of the earthquake in Chile,– a cry at the
human suffering on the one hand and an excitement over yet another confirmation of the
right combination of earthquake detection astrologically. The after shocks will follow
until 2nd March. Around midnight of 1st March, a lesser intensity with least damage can be
expected in the Pacific coast off the Americas when moon crosses Saturn in Virgo.

Again the days between March 14th to 17th are vulnerable.

When moon crosses Aquarius and is in Uttra bhdrapada in Pisces – there are greater
chances of tremors in the area of the Americas near the equator on the west coast. A
tsunami is also possible. Wherever it strikes, the probability is night time – that is, before
sunrise on those days. If earthquake does take place before sunrise, the impact zone and
tsunami influence will be less than what happened in 2004 Indonesian earthquake that
devastated Indian shores.

The analysis of earthquakes does give us some regular patterns which were discussed by
me in my article in the Astrological Magazine, January issue. (This is available in print)

A comparison of all the 3 Chilean earthquakes, (Feb 2010, May 1960 & Nov 1922)
concur with the norms given in my article.
When all the below parameters existed, the earthquake was devastating as was the 22-05-
1960 earthquake of Chile. When most of them - with the important ones such as affliction
to Martian signs and earthy signs, particularly the Dwiswabhava Virgo had been there,
the earthquake of deadly intensity had occurred. When the malefics in such a
configuration afflicted watery signs, tsunamis had occurred. If Moon is caught up with
the malefics and transits the asterisms of the malefics particularly Saturn and mars, the
number of causalities will be high.

• Mars as signifactor for land, must get connected with earthy signs by association
or aspect.
• Rahu as signifcator for earth and under ground must also get connected with
earthy sings.
• The Martian signs Aries or Scorpio must get connected with either or both of
these planets.
• Saturn’s aspect or association to these signs and planets increase the intensity of
earth quakes and the casualty rate.
• The malicious combination among the nodes, Mars and Saturn involving Martin
signs and earthy signs increase the chances of earthquakes.
• When such a combination occurs around Full moon or New moon, disturbances
are certain.
 • When an eclipse is visible in an area with all the above combinations, that area
becomes a more likely candidate to receive tremors.
• There exists something similar to Paksha chiddra when earthquakes occur.
Particularly 4th, 6th thithis and 12th, 14th thithis seem to indicate some stress
experienced by the moon as it moves away and towards the Sun’s line of direct
influence.
• In other words, starting form 12th Thithi until 6th Thithi, the moon and the sun are
in some coupling, with the earth in between. Most of the earthquakes have
occurred when moon passes these thithis.
• When the above mentioned planets get connected with the earthy signs and
Martian signs with mutual aspect between themselves, during this period of
Moon’s motion around the earth, the earth is disturbed.

After analyzing numerous earthquake charts we can see that affliction to Virgo, either by
occupation or aspect by the malefics is a major indicator.
Affliction to watery signs by Saturn and mars indicate tsunamis. If Moon is caught in the
tangle, there will be heavy loss of life.

Three earthquakes have occurred in Chile in the last 100 years, the most recent one
occurring on 27th February this year.
All the three caused tsunamis.
We can note some prominent features namely Virgo getting afflicted and the Martian
signs receiving aspects from malefics.

Let us take a close look at the recent earthquake.

The Martian signs Aries and Scorpio are aspected by Ketu and Saturn respectively.
Virgo is marred by Saturn’s presence. Another earthy sign Capricorn is aspected by Mars
while the watery signs are afflicted by Mars and Saturn showing the tsunami potential.
Moon joining Mars ensured heavy loss of life. The tsunami potential was limited even
though all the 3 watery signs were afflicted. It is because the ‘nexus’ between the 4
malefics by way of association or aspect with each other did not exist.

We can find the nexus in 2004 earthquake that produced a massive tsunami.

Look at all the parameters fulfilled in the above chart.

All earthy signs and Martian signs are afflicted.
Saturn and Mars in watery signs.
Saturn at 1 degree 27 minutes was receiving the 8th aspect of Mars at 6 degrees 18
minutes.
Martian 4th aspect also falls within Pisces, another watery sign.

Looking at days ahead, the movement of Mars determines the intensity and nature of
earthquakes.
From May 26th to July 20th Mars will be in Leo. From there, it aspects Scorpio (Martian
and watery) and Pisces, another watery sign.
Other parameters of earthquake discussed above continue. But the ‘nexus’ between
malefics is still not there.
Therefore earthquakes accompanied with tsunamis can be expected with a moderate
deadly potential whenever moon comes within the thithis (Dwadasi to sashti), gets
aspected or associated with the 4 malefics and / or transits the asterisms of the 4 malefics
with affliction from at least one of the malefics by aspect or association.

When Mars joins Saturn from 20th July to 5th August, that is the worst period in
earthquake history! The ‘nexus’ exists.

Even volcanoes will erupt. The direction (Virgo) is south showing that Mayon will be
active at this period.
Pisces indicating North is also heavily affected. Mexico, western coast of the USA come
in this range.

The worst period is not yet over.

As Mars moves to Libra on 5th August and stays there till October 19th, we can see more
strains caused by Mars. I expect the west of India and Pakistan coming under tremor
zone. A more detailed analysis to pin point the location is underway and the results will
be published in the Astrological magazine.

The worst ever earthquakes in terms of casualties will be possible when Mars stays in
Scorpio because a ‘nexus’ between malefics is formed, in addition to fulfillment of all
earthquake parameters. The period lasts between October 19th to November 30th.

The dates will be based on Moon’s transit in the said thithis while simultaneously getting
afflicted by the malefics – one or all of them.

Thinking of earthquakes, the Peace Chant of Vediks looks more relevant.

Nothing is in our control.
The world moves as per some programme in which we have no control or say.
All that we can say is -
Peace be with all.
Let no living being – be it a plant or an animal or a fellow human being suffer.
Let Vishnu’s strength by which the worlds are protected be always on us – on our hapless
earth.

Om ! Let there be Peace in me !

Let there be Peace in my environment !
Let there be Peace in the forces that act on me !
