ABSTRACT

In this research paper an attempt has been made for the prediction of a significant Earthquake on the basis of astronomical data obtained from kundali Software and Earthquake Data from the USGS. For the Previous Study only those Earthquakes have been selected in which 1000 persons or more have lost their lives from the year 1900 up to October 8, 2005. For the use of kundali (Making the Horoscope) the place Delhi has been selected which is situated at 28 N 39, 77 E 13 and for its time morning Hours have been preferred. Role of planet Venus has been examined. This study opens a new avenue in the field of Earthquake predictions on the basis of positional astronomy to make Geographical & Scientific Researches successful in new dimensions like Earthquake Predictions.

Key words: Earthquake prediction, Zodiac, Rhythmic Theory, Planets, Sun , Moon,

INTRODUCTION:

The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Thus it makes an imaginary path, adjoining both the horizons above the ground and also in the opposite side of it. This imaginary path of the Sun is called as the Ecliptic. Thus the Ecliptic is the apparent path of that the Sun traces out in the sky. The Ecliptic serves as the center of a region called the Zodiac which constitutes a band of nine degree on either side. This Zodiac has been divided into 12 equal sectors as signs Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer etc which are spread along with the Zodiac. When we divide 360 degree of a zodiac into 12 sectors, value of each sign remain 30 degree. All the planets move and cross zodiac signs time to time. Our study is based on these crossings. Whenever any planet crosses any sign of zodiac then it is important for us to note (in retrospective study) that how far the Earthquake was (in terms of Time) from the crossing time of any planet in the zodiac signs. For more accuracy we have to go further in more precision as Nakshatras etc. Every sign measures 30 degree and Each Nakshatras measures 13 degree and 20 minutes of a Zodiac. Each sign of Zodiac covers 2 ¼ Nakshatras.

Results in Table -1 generally show no significant clear mark which can be noted as the scientific clue for the Earthquake Prediction but when we see deep inside it we find a “Rhythm” in the positions of the planets, so, we are hopeful that on the basis of Rhythmic theory we can make an effort to predict Earthquakes in advance on the Globe. We find a ‘rhythm’ in the positions of the planets separate and Combined also but without significant clear marking, which only can be felt or realized to take judgments,  for deciding track and trend of forthcoming Earthquakes on the Globe. In this theory we believe that all the natural events take place according to the rhythm of the nature so is planetary movement if we are able to understand this rhythm of nature in reference to the earthquakes then surely we will be able to predict it also. When we consider the October 8, 2005 Pakistan Earthquake Positions of the planets look like as follows:

Table – 2

It seem slight difficult so we have changed its base line according to the Ascendant and the Sun in Table – 3 Now it comes as follows –

Now it becomes slight easy to say that planetary positions of  October 20, 1991 is very much Likely to the position of  October 05, 2005 only a few of planets vary a little bit but over all combined force (Planets) and Trend look the same. Earlier we have made some rules regarding the prediction of Dates of significant Earthquakes. It should be remembered that these are only the rules, not the principles based on general observations.

Rule: The Sun

Whenever sun crosses any sign of Zodiac then on the same day the date of the earthquake can be predicted if earthquake does not occur on the same day then add two-day more. It means the earthquake will occur on the third day including the date of crossing the sign of zodiac by the Sun.

Exception to the rule

Sometimes the dates of earthquake may vary. This variation may be of +- one day. We believe that this is due to influence of other planets.

Rule : The Moon
Whenever the moon crosses the Twelfth house (with the Sun) or crosses the fourth house (Four sectors ahead with the Sun) or crosses the sixth house (Six sectors ahead with the Sun) or crosses the Tenth house (Ten sectors ahead with the Sun) Date of The Earthquake can be predicted (Forecasted).

Exception

Sometimes the Date of Earthquake may vary. This variation may be of + – one day. I believe that this is due to influence of other planets.

Rule: The Venus

 Whenever the Venus crosses any sign of zodiac then on the same day the date of Earthquake can be predicted. If the Earthquake does not occur on the same day then add four days more. It means the Earthquake will occur on the fifth day including the date of crossing the sign of zodiac by the Venus.

Exception

Sometimes the dates of Earthquakes may vary. This variation may be of + – one day. I believe that this is due to the influence of other planets.

When we have tested the rule of the Venus with the help of the data obtained from 11 – 05 – 2003 up to 08 -10 -2005  considering the Earthquakes above magnitude 6 results come as in  Figures – 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,

In the same manner other planets also play their vital role in the occurrences of Earthquakes on the Globe. Like other planets the Mercury also play a very significant role in the occurrences of Earthquakes. On October 5, 2005 Mercury crossed the sign Virgo at 1-39 A.M. and entered in the sign Libra. On October 2, 2005 Venus also crossed the sign Libra at 8-18 P.M. and entered in the sign Scorpio. On October 3, 2005 there was also an Annular Solar Eclipse visible in India. Position of the Moon was dubious because it has crossed the sensitive Zone and was also away from the second sensitive zone according to the rule, neither it was with the Sun nor it was Four sectors ahead from the Sun. So, on the basis of Moon Signs decision was difficult. Annular Solar Eclipse also indicates a sensitive physical phenomenon in near future.

According to the Rule of Venus Earthquake should be either on October 2, 2005 or October 7, 2005 (Maximum).According to the Rule of Mercury (Rule not Stated) also Earthquake should be either on October 5, 2005 or October 8, 2005 (Maximum).Now, one can decide seeing all the facts and figures that if we have not felt any significant shock of Earthquake yet up to October 7, 2005 then when? Now it was about sure that a devastating Earthquake is going to be happen recently. After seeing planetary positions it was also concluded that it may be North India because the rhythm of planets was similar as it was on the date of Uttarkashi Earthquake.

Only the Question arise, how much time we have to wait for it ? For the answer, Planetary positions of Uttarkashi Earthquake was deciding factor, especially the position of the Moon (fast changing Planet according to the Indian Astrology / Astronomy) has assured that before the position of the Moon (as it was on October 20, 1991 in (Nakshatras) and the Earthquake came accordingly on October 8, 2005. On October 8, 2005 position of the moon can be seen in the Figure -13 which indicates us about the sensitive time for the triggering of such devastated earthquakes but it looks confusing too, so, the decisions of Earthquake Predictions should be taken after considering all other factors too.

Conclusion

1. Analysis of the planet mercury should also be done with the help of the appropriate data.

2. After taking a view of facts and figures along with the tables we can say that we are hopeful towards the predictions of Earthquakes in advance.

3. It looks that we are going in a right direction but the real goal is still so far.

4. In this direction certainly more work is required.

5. If we assimilate all the fields together certainly we will be able to save human lives and property more efficiently.

6. There is also no doubt that project wise extensive study of different planets also needed.
