Never have been into western and new age astrology -- no interest even in the exploratory years of Summer of Love era. However, I have dabbled a little in jytoish, having more respect for a discernable tradition. (Not that a tradition makes anything correct, having roots on ancient ways is to me, at least interesting. I can't fully subscribe to the view that all currents of modernity and progress are necessarily superior to older ways and insights.) When wring the original post, it struck me that 1930 was 80 years ago. Every 20 years, Jupiter and Saturn cojoin -- though in new houses. Thus four cycles of that. Not sure that means anything at all -- but an interesting coincidence that could be fun to trace through more thoroughly. but if you were one thing one might > notice from looking at todays chart is that the Sun, Jupiter, Mercury > and Venus are close together How often does that happen? Mercury and Sun -- all the time. Sun and Jupiter OR Venus once a year. Sun Jupiter AND Venus -- I can't calculate mentally. But the point is -- what happened the last 10-50 times this conjunction occurred? The same thing as in this cycle? If not, if little correlation, then it seems to me the conjunction is of little consequence. and the Moon of course about to go full. > That means there is a lot of extra gravitational influence than normal. > Full and new moons often cause earthquakes because the gravitational > force causes the plates to rise and when they settle you get a quake. Interesting speculation. However, we have 12 new and 12 full moons every year and hardly have 12 8.8 earthquakes every year. And if we do look at major earth quakes, did they (most) always occur at full or new moods? > One observer mentioned that we might be in a cycle of quakes for the > Pacific Rim that began with the Indonesian one a few years back.
