The Worst Earthquakes and the Galactic Centre
By Susan Seymour Hedke
Is astrology just entertaining, or is it the Truth? In February 2005, I made an astounding discovery. I noticed that the Moon was quite often placed at the end of the astrological sign of Gemini when major disasters occurred. This was the case with the Indian Ocean Earthquake on 26th December 2004. There was no obvious reason why the Moon should be so often placed at the end of this sign. It seemed there must be a missing piece in the astrological puzzle.
I remembered that I had heard of a prophecy of a disastrous end to the age we are living in on 21st December 2012 and wondered if this was connected to the two recent earthquakes causing the deaths of many thousands of people on the 26th December 2003 (Iran) and 2004 (Indian Ocean). I discovered the missing piece through reading an article by John Major Jenkins “THE HOW AND WHY OF THE MAYAN END DATE IN 2012".
The missing piece I found was a power placed in the area of the sky that the Sun passes through each December. It was placed in the sign opposite Gemini: the sign of Sagittarius. It was a force seemingly unknown to the western astrological world, in fact it is a force that had only just been discovered by modern astronomy; that force is the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy.
Was it not more than a coincidence that the Mayan Prophecy, which is supposed to predict a disastrous end to our age on December 21st 2012, was based on knowledge of the Galactic Centre and that I, including their essential piece of information into the astrological chart, found that it had been the hidden cause of the worst disasters in history?
There were enough reasons to want to share this information with you, particularly when one considers that the Mayans thought that the end of the age Caban (4 Earth) would come through great earthquakes. The neighbouring Aztecs called this age Ollin, actually translatable as earthquake, movement, shift, and they knew that what the age was called also caused its end. Other prophecies were given in the Bible by Jesus and John, of a great earthquake at the apocalyptic transition from our present age to the next age: the Age of the Son of Man.
Unfortunately, so far there is hardly any interest in my discovery, even though the consequences of it are quite astounding. But I will not give up hope that it will find its way to those who do see its value.
The Sun and Moon are often directly in aspect to the Galactic Centre when disasters occur. Looking back at aspects between the Sun and Galactic Centre in cases of the worst earthquakes, the largest earthquake of 2005[i] showed the Sun square the Galactic Centre, the deadliest of 2004 came as the Sun was conjunct[1] the Galactic Centre, the largest earthquake of 2003 had the Sun square the GC, the deadliest of 2003 placed the Sun conjunct the Galactic Centre (and occurred on the same date as 2004: 26th December 2003), the deadliest of 2002 had the Sun square the Galactic Centre. And finally the largest earthquake in 2001 had the Sun opposite the Galactic Centre.
Three of eleven largest earthquakes had the Moon in Gemini directly opposite the Galactic Centre.[ii]
In the six year period between 2002 and 2007 the months of December produced an unprecedented number of earthquakes never before recorded in history: there were 24 historical earthquakes over these years all occurring in this one month, (note these are not just any old earthquakes - but historically significant ones). Just compare this to the six year period before 2002[2] in which there was only one - just one -historically significant earthquake- and then followed by 24? Think about it! That is quite a large difference, one that has never been recorded before.
The earthquakes are continuing to occur every December now for seven years, without a break since 2002[3], with an average of four historical earthquakes each December. Also the numbers over the whole year have shot up as never before.
So now to the historical part, Wikipedia.org gives a list of the five most deadly earthquakes, three of which occurred in late December. No. 1 was the "Shaanxi" earthquake in China, No 2 the Tangshan, also in China, No. 3 the Indian Ocean in Indonesia, No. 4, the Aleppo in Syria, and double fifth the Haiyuan in China and one in Iran in December 856 AD. I will show most of these and compare them to a few other large and deadly earthquakes.
The Shaanxi Earthquake is considered to have been the most deadly ever with 830,000 fatalities. It was a magnitude 8 that occurred in China on January 23rd 1556.
[iii] The most deadly Shaanxi earthquake, January 23rd 1556, 830,000 fatalities.
On the day the Shaanxi earthquake occurred, the Moon in Gemini opposed the Galactic Centre.
I have given the approximate time that most sources give for its occurrence – in the morning[iv].
We see that the North and South Nodes of The Moon aligned with the galactic axis[v].
The Nodes are nearly always involved in a major way by the worst disasters. Traditionally the South Node (Ketu) is the more unlucky Node and actually has its exultation or natural position in eastern tradition conjunct the Galactic Centre at 3° of the constellation[vi] Sagittarius.
As is often the case, when a disaster occurs, the heavenly bodies form what I have named a “bow and arrow” aspect to the Galactic Centre. Here the Galactic Centre is with Jupiter and the South Node, while the North Node and the Moon pull the string of the bow. Their opposition shot the arrows as Venus and Chiron held the bow. There was also a more hidden bow and arrow to Saturn.
Saturn and his earth sign Capricorn, or Capricorn’s house, are also always involved in some way when earthquakes occur.
A major competitor for Shaanxi’s title “most deadly earthquake in recorded history” occurred in Syria and Upper Egypt on 5th July 1201.
Another “Most Deadly
Earthquake” on 5th July 1201, with 1,100,000 deaths in Syria[vii][viii].
This date in 1201 showed the Galactic Centre again conjunct Jupiter and the South Node, as by the earthquake in Shaanxi. Further, the Nodes, Jupiter and the GC were in a grand cross. Also important is that Saturn was square the Nodes of the Moon.
Saturn and the Nodes of The Moon are often in aspect to each other when earthquakes occur. They were in aspect by the Shaanxi earthquake also. There is evidence of a number of major earthquakes occurring during the whole period that this aspect lasted, from 1201 to 1202[ix].
Disastrous periods in history are often caused when the Galactic Centre and the Nodes of the Moon are both involved. Especially when the Nodes of the Moon line up with the Galactic axis as also when there are strong aspects between the outer heavenly bodies –Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. So in 1201 we see them all involved. Pluto is conjunct Uranus in Cancer. Pluto is transformation-destruction, and Uranus is sudden changes, accidents and disasters. If there is an additional involvement of Saturn and the earth signs then this may mean a deadly and disastrous earthquake. The earth signs were involved on 5th July 1201, as there was a bow and arrow pointing at Chiron in the earth sign Taurus, Lilith was involved in the grand cross in the earth sign Virgo, and Saturn was also in the grand cross with the Nodes.

Great Basel Earthquake 4th May 1201
Another earthquake that occurred in 1201 was one of the worst ever to hit central Europe, Switzerland and Austria. Though death tolls are not available, a number of tremors occurred and the worst earthquakes hit Basel in the middle of the night and were remembered as “The Great Basel Earthquake” (not to be confused with another of the same name from 18-19 October 1356).
The second most deadly earthquake ever, according to Wikipedia, was the Tangshan Earthquake, again in China. The number of fatalities varies between 200,000 and 800,000.[i].[ii]
The second most deadly earthquake, c. 255,000 deaths, occurred in Tangshan, China on 28th July 1976 at 3:43 CCT. M. 7.8
There is the involvement of the Nodes of the Moon, the North Node being in deadly Scorpio with Uranus. Again the Nodes were T squared by Saturn. Saturn additionally conjunct both lights: Sun and Moon. The Galactic Centre was beginning to conjunct Neptune, which was additionally involved in a bow to Pluto.
In 1976 another major earthquake caused 23,000 deaths in Guatemala on 4th February at 9:02 am GMT
4
1976 was one of the worst years on record for fatal earthquakes. With victims in Indonesia, Italy, the Philippines, Turkey-Iran and also Guatemala, where the second worst sum of fatalities, caused by a M7.5 earthquake, was 23,000 as shown left.[iii]
There is at least one other earthquake that could compete with the second worst ever earthquake for death toll and that is the Calcutta earthquake
Calcutta Earthquake October 11th 1737 late evening, also 300,000 deaths
The earthquake in Calcutta is said to have caused 300,000 deaths, though this has been questioned as Calcutta at that time was a small place. It must have been a larger disaster affecting the whole Bay of Bengal, which it seems to have been, with accompanying cyclonic winds and storm surge or tsunami. Here is also a bow involving Pluto.
The conjunction of Saturn with Neptune, opposite Uranus c. the GC as the involvement of the air signs
Suggests that this was both a cyclonic and earthquake disaster.
16th October 1737 First Mega-thrust Earthquake, Kamchatka
The First Mega-Thrust Earthquake occurred just five days after Calcutta in Kamchatka, a probable 9.3 on 16th October 1737. By this First Mega-thrust earthquake the South Node had moved into range of a trine to Pluto to point a bow at Uranus and the GC. Sun and Mars have added their Mega-thrust potential by conjuncting Pluto in Libra.
Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami 26th December 2004
The third deadliest earthquake was the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami on 26th December 2004 with up to 283,000 deaths. It was earlier thought to be the fourth largest since 1900, though there is some disagreement. Its magnitude having been raised from 9 to 9.32 magnitude, making it possibly the second largest after the 1960 Chile earthquake.
Saturn is in a grand cross involving his sign Capricorn on the ascendant and the Nodes of the Moon. The South Node is in the bow with Uranus pointing to the Galactic Centre and Jupiter and Neptune are also in a bow pointing to the sign Sagittarius and the Galactic Centre.
4th November 1952 Kamchatka[iv]Earthquake
The 1952 Kamchatka Earthquake competes most strongly with the Indian Ocean Earthquake 2004 as the third or fourth largest earthquake since 1900.
The usually considered second largest earthquake since 1900 occurred in Prince William Sound near Anchorage, Alaska on Good Friday March 27th 1964 at 5:36 P.M. AST.
As most of these large earthquakes, it caused a tsunami , had a moment magnitude of c. 9.2, and resulted in 131 deaths.
Largest ever recorded earthquake in Chile 1960
The main reasons for it were the South Node in Capricorn conjunct the Galactic Centre trine[v] Jupiter in Aries creating a bow to Saturn in Aquarius. Mars and the Sun at the Spring Equinox squared the Galactic Centre.
The largest ever recorded earthquake was in Chile on May 22nd 1960. It had a magnitude of 9.5. It caused a large tsunami , 2,000,000 were left homeless and deaths in various places range from a few hundred to over 5000. This earthquake and tsunami had what I call a “Star of David” aspect in earth and water signs, as is commonly found in the worst disasters. It also triggered a volcanic eruption.
Aleppo Earthquake
The Aleppo earthquake, which wiki places fourth on the list of most deadly earthquakes, seems to have been a number of earthquakes around this time and there is some question as to the most significant date. 11th October 1138 is the date given for c.230,000 deaths in Syria from a M 8.5 earthquake, but 30th September 1139 and other dates between 1137 and 1139 particularly, also produced earthquakes.
Because of the uncertainty as to the main date and even whether 11th October, when the Moon would have been conjunct the GC, was the right date, and not later in October as another 15th century writer suggested, I have removed this section.
Iran December 856 AD
On 11th October there was a T square to the Galactic Centre and a bow and arrow to Pluto c. South Node in Taurus opposite the North Node, Uranus etc in Scorpio. Here chart for 30th September, which has been considered the correct date for the largest earthquake.
The fifth most deadly earthquakes in wikipedia’s list were shared by 1/ an earthquake in China on Dec 16th 1920 caused by a bow and arrow to the Galactic Centre conjunct the Sun created by North Node in Scorpio, Moon conjunct Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer in which 200-240,000 died and 2/ an earthquake in Iran back in AD 856 December 22nd
This is very interesting as it shows the Nodes of the Moon involved and all the outer planets. Uranus opposite, Pluto in trine and Neptune in sextile forming the bow to Galactic Centre with Jupiter and the Node, similar to two other most deadly earthquakes. But what is particularly interesting is that records through much of our history records worst earthquakes when Neptune is in Aquarius sextile the Galactic centre, as it is now and in the years up to 2013!
Another very damaging earthquake occurred in Palestine on 18th May 363 AD with supposedly 300,000 fatalities.
Another is recorded in the Bible at the time of the Crucifixion in 33AD, which I look into in more depth in my book, which is accompanied by three hours of darkness and this shows Neptune sextile the Galactic Centre and Pluto from the beginning of Aquarius.
There were records kept by the Romans and the Greeks telling of this disastrous earthquake and its unusual character and its connection to the crucifixion of Jesus, which occurred on a preparation day to a Sabbath, which began on the Friday, so it was a Friday, and it was a Passover and there was an eclipse. All the facts and records many mentioned in my book on the Galactic Centre tell that it occurred on this date and was associated not just with an earthquake but also a volcanic eruption.
Earthquake in Palestine recorded as one of the worst in ancient Hebrew records through the centuries was considered the worst since 31 AD. Last but one transit of Neptune into sextile to GC. This is similar to the aspects coming. Other records tell of a severe earthquake in 33 AD. That affected the whole world.
Crucifixion Earthquake 3rd April 33 AD[vi]
In 543 AD an earthquake occurred that shook the whole world. This century produced the most earthquakes in all the centuries up to now – 20 of them, with some centuries recording absolutely no earthquakes! Think how many historically significant earthquakes are occurring now. This earthquake in 543 AD probably caused many casualties but there are no records of the numbers. Volcanic eruptions are also presumed for this period . Yet compared to 2013 this earthquake looks less dangerous.
One of the most shocking earthquakes and tsunamis in the western world hit the Portuguese capitol of Lisbon on All Saints day 1755 as many were in the new cathedral praying as the masonry collapsed on their heads. That was on the last Pluto conjunction to the GC. As with the tsunami in 2004 the nodes of the moon played a role as did Uranus in Pisces and Jupiter in Libra and Chiron in Capricorn.
Worst Earthquake in Portugal: All Saints Day, Lisbon Nov.1 1755
There is a loosely formed star of David in earth and water signs as with the largets earthquake in Chile 1960. Fatalities 90,000 ( another 10,000 in Morocco)
The earthquake in Messina, Italy is thought to have killed over 100,000 people.
Worst Earthquake in Italy, Messina, on 28th December 1908
75,000 to 110,000 fatalities given
Looking back on these few cases one can see that there is nearly always an involvement of the Nodes of The Moon, especially the South Node seems to be implicated.
In America the worst ever earthquake set bells ringing hundreds of miles away in New York.
Worst Earthquake in America: The New Madrid (Missouri) Earthquake of 1811
ows a bow and arrow pointing at them also.
Worst Earthquake in England, 6th April 1580, 18:00 LMT.
The worst earthquake in the British Isles seems to have aused no casualties at all, a few walls collapsed and chimney pots fell, but it was seen as an omen as it o´ccurred on the easter weekend. Britain seems to have suffered almost no casualties from earthquakes at all.- possibly 12 fatalities in all recorded quakes.
Worst earthquake Armenia, December 1988
The earthquake magnitude 6.8 caused over 40,000 deaths, one source gave 100,000 fatalities.
Worst earthquake in Australia at Newcastle on 28th December 1989
The Newcastle Earthquake only caused about 13 fatalities but much property damage.
Worst earthquake on the Atlantic Islands of the Azores: the Great Faial Earthquake.
Could computer calculate the exact date of the next large earthquake by including all this information? Yes they obviously could and better than any other method. Then all that is left is a method to calculate where they will occur which is also possible.
Worst recent earthquake in Israel, November 2000
The worst recent earthquake in Israel was a 7.2 and it came as the Sun was just moving into Sagittarius and into influence of the Galactic Centre, Pluto , Chiron, Venus were conjunct the GC and the South Node in Capricorn was also in range. Jupiter and Saturn the two giants shot the arrows and Moon/ Mars and Uranus held the bow.
Other worst ever earthquakes for different areas of the world occurred:
December 16th Naples, Italy 21:00 UTC 6.9 11,000 people were killed. In Corinth, Greece 26 December 1861 a large earthquake occurred, in
Gansu, China on December 16 1920 the earthquake caused 200,000 fataliies.
Erzincan, Turkey , December 26 1939 - M 7.8 Fatalities 32,700
December 7th 1944 in Tonanka, Japan, 1,223 fatalities, then December 20 1946 19:19 UTC Nankaido, Japan, 8.1 and 1,330 fatalities. Though these were nothing to the 137,0000 lost on December 30th 1730
Canada, Quebec had a 6.9 earthquake on December 25th 1989.
( for more worst earthquakes see links in the endnotes[vii])
Recent earthquakes and Future earthquakes
The danger of very large earthquakes occurring in the years between 2010 and 2013 is very real. Using a computer it would be possible to feed all the information of earthquakes into it and find out when they are most likely to occur. Certainly we could make some kind of preparation?
Just using what I know I have managed to predict earthquakes, even where they will occur, but how much more we could achieve with this information put into a computer.
Earthquake Canterbury April 2007
Large Earthquake hits Jakarta 12th August 2007 just after midnight
Jakarta, the capitol city of Java, has been shaken by recent earthquakes. Indonesia generally is one of the most endangered areas in the coming years.
Certainly the danger is greatest just after midnight, just after the winter solstice in December of the year, when the Sun aspects the Galactic centre, and in the monthly cycle when the Moon is opposite the Galactic Centre and when Saturn and the Nodes of the Moon are also involved. Especially significant are times when bows and arrows form to the Galactic Centre.
The worst earthquake to occur in Los Angeles area since 1999 came on 29th July 2008. It was a M5.5. The near future could produce a much worse earthquake in this area, when Saturn moves to conjunct Los Angeles founding Sun opposite Uranus.
Worst Earthquake, 2008 Los Angeles, USA
To conclude I would just like to say that if one understands "Disaster" as part of a "Great Plan", a Truth - as I believe one must when looking at these charts - a design or creation made by a god or goddess or "power"- then this discovery of the Galactic Centre as cause of earthquakes and disasters can only be taken as a sharing in the MYSTERY of the Divine; as an illumination.
[i] If casualties for the Tangshan earthquake were 200,000 then the earthquake in 2004 would have caused more casualties, the 2004 has also been estimated at 283,000 fatalities. There are also other earthquakes that might be comparable and have uncertain numbers of fatalities
[ii] 2010 to 2013 the North Node will move first to conjunct Pluto in Capricorn that is conjunct the Galactic Centre and then over the Galactic Centre in Sagittarius into deadly Scorpio and a conjunction with Saturn in early Scorpio in 2013 in a bow to the GC and Pluto in Capricorn. That is a lot of Saturn and Nodal influence for likely earthquakes in the coming years.
