Magnitude 8.0 earthquakes

[Jim Eshelman]

Another astrologer recently mentioned that she was researching 8.0 or higher magnitude earthquakes. There aren't a lot of these with well timed data so I never made that cut-off in my earthquake research. (You can get my conclusions on a large data set in the earthquakes chapter of Sidereal Mundane Astrology.) Nonetheless, I thought I'd take the 8+ quakes I already have and see how the data compares. Here are the tallies for the relevant solar and lunar ingresses and the daily timers (Capsolar and Cansolar transits and quotidians).

Since the largest quakes tend to have tsunamis, I expect more Jupiter (especially Moon-Jupiter) in this set than otherwise seems to make sense. (That's exactly what we got, though the top angularities are right on the mark. The top Moon aspects other than Jupiter are the same planets as the top angularities.)
