Jupiter-Saturn Opposition -- Quake time?

It's getting very close now--the once every 20 year exact Jupiter-Saturn opposition-- and many astrologers will be watching to see what happens.  On May 23, 2010 UTC or May 22, 2010 PDT Jupiter and Saturn will oppose each other at 27 degrees 53 minutes in Virgo/Pisces in the evening hours 9-10 pm.  This opposition takes place very close to the solar eclipse of March 18, 2007, Saros series 9NN.  The 9NN Saros series has been active in a couple of California's stronger earthquakes.  It is also this eclipse of March 18, 2007 that astrologer Celeste Teal described in her book Eclipses that signals trouble for water companies, turbulence in the land, fires and/or explosions, and earthquakes. 

Last year when Saturn was stimulating this eclipse, Los Angeles experienced a month of nearly daily water main breaks around the city.  Most recently, Saturn has been stimulating this eclipse when the BP Deepwater Oil Rig exploded and killed 11 people and a death toll to wildlife with numbers still unknown.

This particular solar eclipse of March 18, 2007 is still active.  The 9NN Saros series according to Bernadette Brady is the physically expressive Saros series and is capable of bringing about sudden physical events when stimulated.   So what does this mean for quakes and California?

In looking at the progressed chart for Los Angeles, it's possible to see the potential for a strong quake to hit the region within days. 

The Jupiter-Saturn opposition takes place across the the 4th and 10th houses and squares progressed Uranus at 29 Gemini.  Transiting Uranus is also exactly square to progressed Uranus.  This configuration stimulating the eclipse and the progressed aspects in has the potential to set off the grand cross. Transiting Venus is conjunct the progressed AC in opposition to transiting Pluto. Transiting Venus is also square the radical Neptune at 4 Libra and square the radical Moon at 3 Aries of the Radical LA chart. This is important because Venus is the radical chart ruler of the LA chart.  Transiting Mercury is square the progressed Moon at 7 Leo and progressed Pluto.  Transiting Mars is square to the progressed Vertex at 20 Scorpio.   The only caveat are the nodes.  Neither the transiting Node nor the progressed Node is not specifically giving direct stimulation to any point.  HOWEVER, the transiting Node is exactly trine to the radical LA Sun. 

The Moon starts the day at 18 Virgo at 1am on May 22, 2010 PDT stimulating the 9NS Saros series and continues onward through Virgo to make a conjunction with the Jupiter-Saturn opposition in the afternoon hours of 3-5 pm PDT.  A quake has the possibility of occurring as soon as the transiting moon conjoins the radical Sun at 12-13 Virgo trine to the transiting node on May 21, 2010 in the evening hours; conjoins the progressed IC at 15-16 Virgo and continues throughout the day as it moves along to stimulate the eclipse degrees of 18 Virgo, 24 Virgo, 28 Virgo/Pisces, and 29 Virgo.  As the Moon progresses into Libra it will square the transiting Venus and the mentioned aspects in the paragraph above, then moves to stimulate the progressed opposition of Mercury and Neptune at 5 and 6 degrees Libra/Aries and onward toward the eclipse degree of 8 Aries/Libra, 10 Libra, and 19 Aries/Libra.

It is hard to give a location at this time but the area that has been most active to date is from the Cajon Pass to Ocotillo.  I would extend this region to the north to include the areas up to the Tejon Pass along the San Andreas fault.

Southern Californians need to keep on their toes, alert, and ready for whatever happens.  It's going to be a few months before things calm down.
