San Francisco Quake Watch

With the upcoming Cancer Ingress of 2010 just a couple of days away, it bears looking at the chart of San Francisco.  The recent New Moon of June 12, 2010 took place at 21 Gemini, conjoined the radical Ascendant of the San Francisco chart.  The city and its inhabitants of San Francisco can expect new developments taking shape this month and we may be getting some news from this region around the time of the summer solstice as transiting Mercury goes over the spot where the New Moon took place.  Also of note on this day is the arrival of Comet McNaught 2009 R1 to the degree of 20 Gemini when it passes over the fixed star Capella.  Capella has been associated with earthquakes in respect to solar eclipses but no data exists in regard to comets.
Could this portend a quake?  Well, it's quite possible if not on this specific date, then quite soon. 

There are several transits taking place to radical positions in the chart.  Transiting Mars squares the Radical Moon.  Transiting Venus is square Radical Venus.  Transiting Neptune is conjoined the Radical MC.  The Transiting Node is square to Radical Saturn and sextile the Radical Vertex.  The Transiting Moon (June 20th and 21st) will be in Libra square to Radical Lilith, trine to Neptune on the MC, and in opposition to the Radical Sun, Uranus and Pluto before continuing onward into Scorpio where it will oppose the Radical Venus. It's a lot activation for this chart especially with the Transiting node squaring Radical Saturn.

The recent New Moon of June 12, 2010  and the Cancer Ingress of 2010 ( set for Washington DC) both have very difficult aspects and feature a  lot frustrated energy between the outer planets of Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Pluto.  For San Francisco there are changes, and the public's nerves may be on end.  Discontent abounds with the New Moon in waxing square to Transiting Saturn in the 4th house.  Saturn in the 4th house poorly aspected is a harbinger of bad weather and can increase the danger for earthquakes.  From now throughout the summer, it's time to be alert and ready.  San Francisco and the whole of California for that matter is under quake watch.
Specific days of elevated risk are June 20, 21, 26 through July 11 when the eclipse season arrives in full force.  July 1, 2, and 3rd are especially treacherous days for seismic activity as Comet McNaught 2009 R1 reaches perihelion, and the transits (especially Mars coming into conjunction with Radical Jupiter in the 4th) activate eclipse degrees.
