1700 Cascadia earthquake

[Jim Eshelman]

January 26, 1700, about 9:00 PM local time, 45N 125W

This "megathrust" earthquake is Canada's worst in history. The time was calculated not from local records (there were none) but from a tsunami it created that struck Japan. The epicenter is only listed to the nearest degree of longitude and latitude. I have no information on casualties or damages, but imagine both were sparse.

The new CAPSOLAR had a partile Moon-Neptune opposition and Jupiter rising 1°26'. (A certain amount of strong Jupiter is appropriate for tsunami-spawning quakes, as long as it doesn't dominate the stack.)

The January 19 CAPLUNAR has Mars sq. MC 1°19', a great showing. The January 26 ARILUNAR has Mars widely on WP and Venus exactly sq. Asc (not a good chart).

For the DAY, CapQ MC squared transiting Saturn. CapQ Asc conjoined ingress Venus quite closely for the given coordinates and squared transiting Mars. It's quite good. Returning to the tsunami theme, transiting Jupiter conjoined Capsolar Ascendant.
