The Owen's Valley Quake of 1872

It's that time again, eclipse season.  The first solar eclipse for 2012 takes place on May 20, 2012 at 4:48 PDT and passes over Northern California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona New Mexico, and Texas before it ends at sunset.  It's the first solar eclipse to pass through parts of the United States in nearly 20 years and it happens at 0 Gemini conjunct the fixed star Pleiades cluster.  None of the charts of California, Los Angeles, or San Francisco are directly impacted by a planet or point  in this degree, but the eclipse Saturn at 23 Libra is sitting exactly on the eclipse chart AC angle in Los Angeles and in the nearly the same longitude at 118W as Lone Pine, CA; the sight of the 1872 Owen's Valley Quake.
 Could the eclipse stimulate the old quake chart to come to life?  That's a matter of speculation. Yet, there is a possibility it could in the two or so weeks following this solar eclipse because it is followed by a partial eclipse on June 4, 2012 at 14 Sagittarius eclipsing the South Node of the Owen's Valley Quake Chart.  During the week of June 3-9, 2012, there are several important astrological events going on.  On June 4, 2012 at  the Lunar Eclipse takes place  at 4:13AM PDT,  at 7:22 AM PDT Neptune turns retrograde, followed by a rare occultation (Venus transits the Sun aka the inferior conjunction) at 6:09PM PDT.  This event will not happen again until December 11, 2117.  June 8, 2012 Venus transits the Lunar Eclipse degree via opposition at 14 Gemini.  On June 8 and 9, Uranus and Pluto meet up square at 8 degrees cardinal signs, though not exact, and Saturn hit 22 degrees Libra in conjunction with the Owen's Valley Quake Moon.  Also the Transiting Sun and Mars will meet in a square aspect at 18 degrees, Gemini and Virgo, stimulating the eclipse degree from December 2011 at 18 Gemini. Time will tell.
