Antioch earthquake 526 AD

May 20-29, 526, mid-morning, Antioch, Greece @ 36N14, 36E07

One of the deadliest, most catastrophic earthquakes in history was the 7.0 quake at Antioch between May 20 and 29, 526 AD. Whichever day it occurred, the timing was midmorning. Approximately 250,0000 people died from the quake and the subsequent fire (that also finished off most of the buildings not levelled by the quake).

Antioch, called the cradle of Christianity, was near the current city of Antakya, Turkey at 36N12'17", 36E10'54" until it fell to crusaders in 1268. Because of the enormous damage, I'll use these coordinates instead of the nearly identical epicenter coordinates given above.

Calculations are from Solar Fire.

Year: Capsolar {+1}
(An enormous Grand Square involving Moon marks the chart for all parts of Earth.)
Neptune on MC 2°28'
Venus more widely foreground
Moon-Jupiter sq. 0°01'
Moon-Sun sq. 0°12'
Moon-Saturn op. 0°12'
Moon-Uranus sq. 0°34'
Moon-Mars sq. 2°51'

Bridge

Quarter: Arisolar {+3}
Saturn on MC 0°17'
-- Saturn-Pluto sq. 0°51' PVP
Moon, Jupiter, & Neptune more widely foreground
-- Moon-Neptune co. 2°10'

Month: Caplunar {+1 or better}
Mercury on EP 0°12'
Uranus & Pluto more widely foreground
-- Ur/Pl on horizon 0°43'
Moon-Uranus op. 0°33'

Week: Arilunar (Silent.) Moon-Mercury Moon-Uranus
(May 22, 12:19 AM: Dormancy prevents an opinion on whether the quake occurred before or after.)

Day: Capsolar Quotidian & Transits
t Neptune was barely within 2° of Capsolar MC, and t Uranus fully in orb of square Capsolar Moon, the entire time.
CapQ MC & Asc touched off the Capsolar T-square exactly mid-week, first touching Uranus on May 23, then simultaneously Moon-Saturn-Sun-Jupiter then and the day after - each with a +/- two day window.

Day: Cansolar Quotidian & Transits
t Mars crossed Cansolar IC and squared Cansolar Mars May 24-26 (continuing the angle to the end).
CanQ Asc exactly hit ingress Saturn the day before (still in orb May 20-21), but MC squared it May 24.

I suspect May 24 was the date of the quake but, of course, we have no way to confirm it.
