Lunar Eclipse Transit Alert for the Week of October 27, 2013

Week of October 27 is a very active week in astrology and the transits for California pose a significant risk for seismic activity in the region. The recent lunar eclipse at 25 Aries hit exactly on San Francisco's Sun and the south node conjoined the DC angle of the chart of Los Angeles. Next week the transiting Sun will stimulate the eclipse of April 25, 2013 at 5-6 Scorpio hitting exactly on the AC angle of the California chart of 5 Scorpio. These areas of 25 Aries/Libra and 5-6 Scorpio/Taurus are sensitized to upcoming transits to those degrees. Starting Saturday night into Sunday, the transiting Sun comes to 3 degrees Scorpio hitting the AC angle in the Progressed San Francisco chart kicking off a week of significant transit stimulation to the chart. Then Monday, October 28th, it's the transit Sun activating the previous lunar eclipse at 5 Scorpio which touches several significant placements in the charts of California, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The lunar eclipse from April 25, 2013 was angular in California and conjoined the IC angle which amps up the potential for weather related affects from transit stimulation. Two days later the transit Sun conjoins with the lunar node creating a "moon wobble" at 7 degrees Scorpio. Then on November 1st, it's another exact square between Uranus and Pluto at 9 degrees Aries/Capricorn only to be capped off on November 3rd by the total Solar Eclipse at 11 Scorpio. It's an extremely active time astrologically and time to take care! Be alert and think about what you would do to be prepared if such an event were to occur, but don't panic.

Lunar Eclipse of April 25, 2013 and California

The lunar eclipse of April 25, 2013 takes place at 12:57:10 pm in California at 5 degrees 46 minutes Scorpio conjoining the Rising degree on the California chart.  It is a partial eclipse and not visible in California, but the eclipse conjoins the 4th house cusp set in Los Angeles and San Franciso  .  Saturn occupies the 4th house along with the north node in the eclipse chart.  According to HS Green any conjunctions or oppositions from  planets Mars outward to Pluto combined with the luminaries increases the chance of earthquakes.  At the time of the lunar eclipse, Mars and Saturn are in opposition and in conjunction with the luminaries and the IC/MC axis.  Mars rules the eclipse as the closest aspecting planet to the luminaries and is in the sign of its detriment, Taurus.  According to Raphael, the first decanate of Scorpio lunar eclipse portends horrible thunderstorms, and perhaps an earthquake.
California is at  considerable risk for a sizable quake with this eclipse eventhough it's not visible in the United States.  Transiting Mars opposes the eclipse degree on the 27th of April at the same time the Moon is perigee (or closest approach to earth.) If a quake is to happen in Southern California, this would be a likely date when the Transiting Sun conjoins the Lunar Eclipse MC cusp at 7 Taurus and Transiting Mars opposes the eclipse degree. Take care and be prepared for whatever happens.

March 27, 2013 Transits

In a couple of days, the transits are potentially strong triggers for earthquakes.  March 26-27, 2013 will have Transit Mars involved in a t-square formation with the Transiting Moon in Libra and Transiting Pluto in Capricorn at 11 degrees cardinal signs.
At the same time Transiting Jupiter will stimulate exactly the solar eclipse degree of 11 Gemini from the June 1, 2011 eclipse and the Transiting Sun will square the eclipse Pluto from that eclipse.  A potential spot for seismic activity would be in California, Mexico, or Australia as those are the charts of places that took an eclipse hit to their chart during that solar eclipse.

Is it that time?

It's coming up on a New Moon cycle February 10, 2013 and that time I mentioned in my October 2012 post about the Transiting Node hitting the eclipse degree of 21-22 Scorpio.  The interesting part of this New Moon is it involves a Moon Wobble. The New Moon at 21 Aquarius  squares the Transiting Node at 21 Scorpio in the solar eclipse degree from November 2012.  Quakes are bound to tick up in activity during this time.  It also has the potential to produce a sizable quake in California as the New Moon cojoins the Radix South Node of San Francisco at 21 Aquarius and squares the Radix Saturn of the Los Angeles Chart that was eclipsed back in November 2012.  Transiting Jupiter is also on the lunar eclipse degree of 6 Gemini from November 2012 and will square the Transiting Mars at 5-6 Pisces.

The chart set for the New Moon in San Francisco on the night of February 9, 2013 looks like it shows potential for a quake since the New Moon takes place in the 4th house and squares the node ( moon wobble.) The same is true in Los Angeles,( though Venus is conjoined the 4th cusp at 9 degrees Aquarius.)  The lunar eclipse of November 2012  was angular in both California cities and is stimulated by the Transiting Jupiter at 6 Gemini at the same time the Transiting Node is activating the solar eclipse at 21-22 Scorpio.  There are other transits to Radix positions in both these charts, but the Moon Wobble, New Moon, and the eclipse stimulations stand out.
Though it's not a certainty by any means, the likelihood of seismic activity in California is elevated around this time plus or minus a few days around the new moon.

Solar Eclipse, Los Angeles, and the Northridge Quake of 1994

Once again, it's eclipse season.  There will be an upcoming Solar Eclipse at 21-22 Scorpio on November 13, 2012.  This eclipse is prominent in the Los Angeles chart as it's a direct hit on LA's radical Jupiter at 21 Scorpio.  It was also the prior Solar Eclipse degree before the devastating Northridge quake on January 17, 1994.  In November 1994, the Solar Eclipse set for Los Angeles had the eclipse in the 8th house which is exactly where this upcoming eclipse will take place as well with Mars on the Midheaven where the prior Solar Eclipse in 1993 had Mars conjunct the North Node at 3 Sagittarius.

What does this mean?  As this blog focuses exclusively on earthquakes, it could mean that Southern California is due for another quake as it several transits align with the LA chart around the time of the eclipse or when the Transiting Sun meets up with the Transiting Node at 26 Scorpio known as a Moon Wobble on the 18th.  There is also a Lunar Eclipse on the 28th of November when Transiting Mars and Transiting Pluto meet up at  8 Capricorn.  All of the these dates have the potential to produce notable seismic activity.

What's different from this Solar Eclipse from the previous 1993 Solar Eclipse at 21 Scorpio is that several transiting planets are stimulating the LA chart at the time of the eclipse unlike in 1993.  Most notably, there is Transiting Retrograde Jupiter stimulating the previously eclipsed LA Saturn at 13 Sagittarius eclipsed on June 4, 2012 and the Transiting Retrograde Mercury Transiting opposite the eclipse degree of 0 Gemini from the May 20, 2012 Solar Eclipse.  Transiting Pluto is forming a square to the LA chart ruler Venus at 7 Libra while Transiting Retrograde Uranus is in opposition to the LA's Neptune at 4 Libra.  The Transiting Node is in square to LA's Mercury at 27 Leo.  Most troubling is the square from Transiting Saturn to LA's Pluto at 4 Aquarius in the 4th house.  Saturn square Pluto is about the threat of loss and destruction and affects the 4th house governing real estate.
Probably the one bright spot that will mitigate a potential quake is not having the either the radical or progressed angles stimulated.  Back at the time of the Northridge quake in 1994, both the Sun and Venus were stimulating the Radical AC angle via the square from 26 Capricorn and Saturn was on the Progressed LA MC at 27-28 Aquarius. This will not be the case in November 2012.  In February 2013, the Transiting Node will pass over this November eclipse degree at 21 Scorpio and could be another potential time for seismic activity.
Be on the lookout for activity a few days before the November 13th eclipse to the end of November after the lunar eclipse on the 28th.  The Moon Wobble is in effect in the days around November 17th and 18th.

Transit Alert for the Los Angeles Chart

This is a transit alert for the Los Angeles Chart. Beginning the evening of August 18, 2012, transits to the LA chart are active.  It's during this time, that the Transit Uranus at 7 Aries exactly opposes the Radical Venus at 7 Libra and ties in with the Transit Pluto at 7 Capricorn.  The other transits affecting the chart are as follows:

Transit Jupiter at 13 Gemini opposes the eclipsed Radical Saturn at 13 Sagittarius while the Transiting South Node hits the eclipse degree of 0 Gemini.  On August 22, 2012 there is a Moon Wobble ( Transit Sun squares the  Node) increasing the chances for seismic activity.

Transit Saturn at 25 Libra is conjunct with Transit Mars  at 26 Libra is sitting on the Ascendant of the chart and conjoins the Radical South Node at 26 Libra.

Transit Moon at 13 Virgo is conjunct the Radical Sun at 12 Virgo and moves to conjoin the Progressed IC angle ( not shown) at 18 Virgo later on that night.

Transit Mercury opposes the Radical Pluto at 4 Aquarius in the 4th house and is directly opposite the Progressed Pluto at 8 Aquarius ( not shown) during that time.

Seismic risk is elevated during this time period and will last through Saturn's transit of Libra as it hits the AC angle at 26 Libra and the South Node and finally to square the IC/MC axis at 29 Capricorn/ Cancer.  In the latter part of August and through September Transit Pluto will meet up with the Progressed DC angle at 6 Capricorn and  Uranus will join the mix toward the end of September at 6 Aries when the Transit Saturn will square the Radical IC at 29 Capricorn.

As for upcoming events in the 4th quarter of the year, the Solar Eclipse of November 13, 2012 at 21-22 Scorpio will hit the Radical Jupiter of the Los Angeles chart while the Transit Node at 26 Scorpio will square the Radical Mercury at 27 Leo -- another busy time for elevated seismic risk in the region.  

Update for Heavy Transit Alert in Los Angeles

This is an update to the previous article about the potential for seismic activity in Los Angeles during the current time period of mid July 2012.  On July 17th and July 18th, Transit Mars at 7 Libra squares Transit Pluto at 7 Capricorn, and  trines Transit Jupiter at 7 Gemini at the Radical LA Venus of 7 Libra, the chart ruler, making for a very powerful combination of energy.  It is also during this time that the Transiting Sun, at 25-26 Cancer, squares the Radical AC angle and  Radical Nodal Axis at 26 Libra. Yet, it is the Solar Eclipse chart of May 2012 that is of most concern.  So lets take a look.

In this chart, the Solar Eclipse at 0 Gemini, SE Saturn is angular and is now conjoined on the AC and lines up with SE Venus at 23 Gemini. This is important because most seismic activity occurs where the eclipse or a planet in the eclipse chart is angular.  The Transiting Sun is angular on the MC  combined with Transiting Saturn angular on the AC, July 17th and 18th.  Meanwhile, Transiting Pluto is square to the SE Uranus with Transiting Mars plugging into the equation as mentioned above. Currently, the Transiting South Node has moved into position and is separating with a conjunction to the SE Vertex at 4 Gemini. In addition, the Transiting nodal axis squares SE Neptune at 3 Pisces.  It was this eclipse that was visible in California and the eclipse path crossed over portions of California.  This eclipse chart for Los Angeles is very active during this time.

Some other curious bits occur between this chart and the Radical LA chart shown below.  Note how the SE Mars at 10 Virgo squares the Radical Vertex of the LA chart and trines the Radical Chiron at 10 Taurus.  There are no exact transits to stimulate it, but could it symbolize a fated meeting  between the two?  Also of interest is the SE Lilith is in the same degree of the Radical Fortuna of the LA chart.

Lastly, I would like to mention, ( not shown), is the Partial Lunar Eclipse of June 4, 2012 at 14 Sagittarius.  That eclipse hit the LA Radical Saturn at 13 Sagittarius, making it sensitive to upcoming transits. The eclipse was also visible in California. This week, Transiting Venus comes into opposition of the eclipsed Radical Saturn from July 16th and hits opposite the eclipse degree at 14 on the 17th of July.  The Partial Lunar Eclipse chart for Los Angeles has 17 Taurus rising, the same degree of the Radical LA fortuna and the SE Lilith.

Watch out this week.  It could be an active seismic week in California, especially from Tuesday the 17th to Wednesday the 18th.
