2017 Mexico City 7.1 earthquake

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake hit near Reboso, Mexico (near Mexico City) yesterday afternoon. Death toll is still climbing but, with the last hour, was updated to 225. [UPDATE (probably final official figures): 370 dead, 6,011 injured]

Here is the Wikipedia article that will be updated as more information stabilizes:

It seems to me there is a lot of seismic instability in the region all of a sudden. Besides the other Mexico quake a few days ago, there are little things - a 3.6 in Los Angeles (that got the media all excited, but nobody in LA). That caused me to look at seismic activity and I was a series of 4+ quakes in San Francisco del Mar, Mexico, in the last two days (they caught my eye because I thought they were showing for San Francisco, CA). Then this one hits this afternoon - I don't know yet whether seismologists consider these are related.

Tidal pull was strong on the epicenter. Sun and Moon were a few degrees shy of conjunction and straddling Midheaven. Saturn (square Moon exactly) was a few degrees from Ascendant, and probably reached it as people were realizing the damage. Angles for Mexico City (where the most damage occurred) are about a degree off those for the eicenter, so I might have to run this twice. [I checked. No important differences for Mexico City. Just some orb tweaks.]

Let's start with the epicenter. The charts are utterly inappropriate, painting a consistent, repeated pattern of Venus involvement (garnished with an appropriate Neptune in one place, but strong Jupiter in others). The Venus is unafflicted and generally rather pure. This may be the most starkly Venus mundane event I've ever seen. "Loss of who and what we love" and emotional angst doesn't begin to explain this if we require any measure of planetary integrity at all, so this event poses the question: What in the world was distinctly, singularly venereal about this specific earthquake in contrast to others. (We may never find the answer, or it may take years; clues might be in the geological characteristics of the distinctive quake???)
