Earthquake in Cianjur

An earthquake struck Cianjur, about 75km from Jakarta, at 1:31pm. The location of the epicentre was 6°50'S and 106°06'E. Figure 1 shows a chart drawn up for the time of the quake.

Figure 1

The most obvious feature of the chart is the T-square between Neptune, Ceres and Mars whose longitudes are as follows:

• Neptune in 22°41' R in Pisces
• Ceres in 21°12' of Virgo
• Mars in 22°13' R of Gemini

The square and opposition aspects are close and the T-square is closely aligned to the Ascendant-Descendant and MC-IC axes. Jupiter is also involved but less closely. Mars is also involved with the Moon and Saturn in a grand trine. The positions of the three are:

Mars in 22°13' R of Gemini

Moon in 23°53' of Libra

Saturn in 19°18' of Aquarius

Again, the trine aspects are fairly close. The Moon is ominously on the cusp of the eighth house in sextile to Pluto. However, Mars seems to be the key player here located very close to the nadir as befits a disaster than is generated beneath the earth. It is prominently aspected by four celestial bodies, the Moon, Ceres, Saturn and Neptune, that form two structures: a T-square and a grand trine.
