EARTH, MERCURY, VENUS AND MARS | Update 18 June 2024

Summary

This planetary and seismic update discusses the influence of planetary alignments on earthquake activity. It highlights a critical geometry involving Earth, Venus, and Neptune, which may have triggered minor earthquakes on the 15th and 16th. Despite a quiet seismic period since April, with the largest quake being a 6.6, there's potential for larger activity due to recent conjunctions with Mercury, Venus, and Mars. The script also points to atmospheric fluctuations over Assam, a region historically prone to great earthquakes, suggesting the possibility of a significant seismic event, although the timing remains uncertain.

Takeaways

• 🌗 The script discusses the correlation between planetary and lunar geometry and seismic activity, suggesting that specific alignments can trigger earthquakes.
• 📈 On the 14th, there was a critical geometry with Venus at a right angle to Earth and Neptune, which is historically associated with major earthquakes.
• 📊 The SSGI-graph showed a clustering of stronger earthquakes on the 15th and 16th, peaking at magnitude 6, indicating a consistent trend since early April.
• 🌍 Earth is currently in a quiet period seismically, with the largest earthquake in 10 weeks being only a 6.6, which is below average.
• 🔍 A 5.5 magnitude threshold is used to identify significant seismic events, as the planet is experiencing only borderline 6 magnitude earthquakes.
• 🌞 On the 17th, there was a convergence of Earth at a right angle with Venus and Neptune, as well as a conjunction with Mercury and Venus, and a lunar conjunction with Mars.
• 🏞️ There was a seismic response to the critical geometry, with a 5.5 and 5.7 magnitude earthquake the day before the convergence, and a 5.6 and 5.9 in Tonga the following morning.
• ⚠️ There is potential for a major earthquake due to the critical geometry, possibly occurring later in the day or the next day, despite the current quiet period.
• 🌐 Atmospheric fluctuations were noted, particularly over Asia, specifically the Assam region, which has historically produced great earthquakes and is due for another.
• 🗓️ The last great earthquake in the Assam region was in 1950, magnitude 8.6, with a similar event occurring in 1897, suggesting a pattern of approximately 50 years between such events.
• 🌕 The script concludes with a reminder of the upcoming Full Moon and hints at further discussion in the next update, urging viewers to stay safe.

Q & A

What critical geometry was discussed in the previous update that could trigger major earthquakes?

The critical geometry discussed was Venus being in a right angle with Earth and Neptune, which is known to potentially trigger major and even great earthquakes.

What was the anticipated seismic activity based on the critical geometry on the 14th?

Stronger seismic activity was anticipated, particularly on the 15th and 16th, with an obvious clustering of stronger earthquakes.

What was the peak magnitude of the earthquakes observed on the 15th and 16th according to the SSGI-graph?

The peak magnitude observed was 6, with two magnitude 6 earthquakes.

How has the seismic activity been described since early April?

The seismic activity has been described as being in a quiet period, with the largest earthquake in 10 weeks being only a 6.6, which is below average.

What is the reason for using a 5.5 magnitude threshold for earthquake monitoring?

The 5.5 magnitude threshold is used because the seismic activity has been low, with only borderline 6 magnitude earthquakes observed.

What critical geometry occurred on the 17th that could potentially impact seismic activity?

On the 17th, Earth was in a right angle with Venus and Neptune, and there was also a conjunction with Mercury and Venus, along with a lunar conjunction with Mars.

What seismic response was observed as a result of the critical geometry on the 17th?

A seismic increase was observed with earthquakes of magnitude 5.5 and 5.7, and a 5.6 and 5.9 at Tonga, indicating a response to the critical geometry.

What is the potential for seismic activity in the coming days based on the planetary geometry?

There is potential for a major earthquake or larger seismic activity, possibly later in the day or the following day, as no major seismic activity has been observed so far.

Which region was highlighted for significant atmospheric fluctuations and why is it of concern?

The Assam region in Asia was highlighted due to significant atmospheric fluctuations. It is of concern because it has historically produced great earthquakes and is overdue for another significant event.

What historical seismic events have occurred in the Assam region and how frequently?

The last significant earthquake in the Assam region was in 1950 with a magnitude of 8.6. Before that, it was in 1897, indicating a pattern of great earthquakes occurring approximately every 50 years.

What other regions were mentioned as having the potential for stronger seismic activity?

Tibet and Northern Sumatra were also mentioned as regions with the potential for stronger seismic activity due to being subduction zones.
