Additionally, Jupiter was on angles much more than expected (though, again, hardly a leader). I rationalized that this must represent the relief efforts and strong community bonding in the aftermath of a quake - except for some obvious exceptions like the Jupiter-everywhere Avezzano quake (which was a tragic failure of relief efforts, among other things).
Some of you noticed that Jupiter was being rally common for the BIGGEST quakes and suggested that Jupiter just mean "biggest." I've always found that unacceptable. My catch phrase is that Jupiter surely did not put the "great" in the Great Chicago Fire - or, for that matter, in the Great Chilean Earthquake.
Well... I now think it did hve something to do with "biggest," but not in the sense "Jupiter = big" is usually taken. It's because the biggest quakes mostly have something important in common: They create tsunamis!
I found one new, important quake recently where most of the death and destruction came from the tsunamis it triggered. The charts, while having appropriate earthquake markers, had even more obvious characteristics of floods. For floods, Uranus and Jupiter (trailed by Saturn and more distantly backed by Venus and Neptune) were the big players. This easily fit when rain was the cause, but was as likely to show the flood when it was something like the structural failure of a dam. Now, I wondered... are these same flood markers (perhaps with a bit more destructive stuff) also be markers of tsunamis?
I didn't think I had many tsunami charts, until I realized I have a LOT of earthquakes that triggered tsunamis - most of the big ones. Adding a few I had in my back pocket, I pulled together just over a dozen. Guess what? Yup! Saturn was angular far more than anything else (they were deadly and most of them were earthquakes) but just behind Saturn were the wet planets Jupiter and Venus, with Neptune closing the gate behind them all.
I'll have a fuller report later, but I thought I'd share this interesting finding. Furthermore, when you remove the earthquakes that created tsunamis and a couple more that occurred with enormous rains and flooding on their own, it nearly wipes out the Jupiter angularities and reduces the Moon-Jupiter aspects in the earthquake set.
No mystery any longer: When there is a strong Jupiter presence (angles or Moon aspects) in the ingress charts for a serious, highly destructive, high-casualty earthquake - look for the water! (Or, assume it's that damned, uncooperative Avezzano quake
.)
