Libra New Moon period and the chart of Los Angeles

I'm not quite sure what to make of the Libra New Moon period in terms of seismic activity in California.  Last month, the Los Angeles chart was the recipient of many transits and yet none of them produced what I would consider significant quake activity of 5.0 or greater.  This I believe is largely due to the Radical and Progressed Nodes in the charts of Los Angeles and California not getting stimulation from any transits.  The New Moon in Libra has the Sun transiting the Progressed South Node within a two degree orb.  I cannot say whether or not the upcoming transit of the Sun over this point will set off quake activity, but there is always the possibility since this is the third of 3 consecutive "Super Moons" where the Moon is at perigee (closest to the Earth) and in conjunction with the Sun, creating added stress to planet Earth.

This Libra New Moon chart set for Washington DC has the Ascendant opposite the eclipse degree of 19 Cancer with Taurus on the 4th house cusp, Venus ruling.  Venus is place in the 10th house conjunct with Mars in Scorpio, but there is not really much in the way of major aspects to this configuration and no planets occupying the 4th house.  According to the astrologer Raphael, earthquakes happen more frequently when planets are in the signs of Taurus and Scorpio, especially Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars.  Of these, only Mars is in Scorpio.  Is it enough?  All I can really say is the Radical Mars of the Los Angeles chart at 17 Capricorn was eclipsed opposite the July 7, 2010 Solar Eclipse and is now in conjunction with the Radical Los Angeles chart rulerVenus. Transiting Venus also turns retrograde on October 8th, so it bears watching.

The Sun, at 14 Libra, during this New Moon will be square to the eclipse of July 7, 2009 and trine to the eclipse of August 6, 2009 but more importantly, it is in conjunction with the Progressed 4th South Node in the Los Angeles chart by a two degree orb.

Here is the Progressed Los Angeles chart for October 9, 2010 when the Transiting Sun hits the Progressed South Node, conjoins with Progressed Fortuna, and squares the eclipses of 15 Capricorn, 19 Cancer, and the Radical Mars of LA.
Both Transiting Venus and Mars are square to the Progressed Moon at 12 Leo.  Transiting Venus at 13 Scorpio is square to the eclipse of August 6, 2009 at 13-14 Aquarius and Transiting Mars is conjunct and opposite the eclipses of May 4, 2004 and November 9, 2003.  The only other two planets in eclipse degrees are Saturn at 8 Libra is opposite the the Solar Eclipse of March 29, 2006 and Mercury which is square to the eclipse at 10 Cancer.

The Transiting Node is not in an eclipse degree but it is square the Progressed 4th house Neptune and Progressed 10th house Mercury.  The Transits of the Uranus and Jupiter are not in eclipse degrees at this time, which I feel lessens the chance of a significant quake, but they are still in transiting square to the Progressed Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn.

One thing that is different this month than last, is Transiting Apollon, a TransNeptunian Planet having to do with expansion (not shown), is at 27 Libra, in exact conjunction with the Radical Node of Los Angeles.  Not having worked with Apollon before, I am curious to know what affect, if any, it will have.
