A very strong earthquake (magnitude 7.7 according to authorities, revised to 7.5 by USGS) has occurred near the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean, between Indonesia and India, and to the West of Aceh, in Sumatra. This is not far from the epicenter of the Great Tsunami of 2004. A tsunami warning was first issued for India, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Myanmar, but was then cancelled. At the time of writing, it is not yet known what are the consequences of this undersea earthquake. So far, there have been no report of damage or injury. The earthquake happened at 21 km depth, and UT time is reported as 19h26m48.6s at location (revised) 7°44'52"N-91°56'16"E.

Population exposure nearby looks small. The following countries were at risk but the tsunami warning has been cancelled: India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia.

The chart shows a new Moon occurring in the thrid house. The quake happened 1h30 after Sun conjuncted the IC. The Nodes axis is across the MC-IC axis, with Fortuna conjunct the ASC. The geocentric aspects are relatively good, thankfully.

However, one should pay attention to this area of the world, as this earthquake happened very near an applying Saturn-Chiron quincunx which will become exact on 21 July 2010. When the Great Andaman Tsunami devastated the Indian Ocean in 2004, the astrological aspect between this pair of planets was an opposition and that was exact within days. Since no aspect by Saturn is ever a good one, the upcoming inconjunct should be a warning and should send scientists keeping a close watch in the few days before and after 21 July 2010. Also, there will be a New Moon and Solar Eclipse on 11 July 2010 and a Full Moon on 26 July 2010. Although the eclipse path does not cross the Indian Ocean, eclipses are powerful moments for events as they can trigger very strong Earth tides (Wikipedia article here). See here for maps of the July 2010 eclipse. Since it is known that powerful earthquakes happen not far from these Moon phases, and that there is a continuing aspects between heavy planets this year, being aware may mitigate injury and damage should an earthquake occur near this date.

The epicenter of the quake was 107 miles west of Misha on the Nicobar Islands at a depth of 20.5 miles.

From January to May 2010 there have been many recorded earthquakes than usual. Some experts say more than 2500 times and with a magnitude of 5 to 7.6 on the Richter scale, spread over an active fault zone along the western part of Sumatra, south of Java, Sulawesi Straits and Eastern Indonesia. There is little doubt that scientists who have convened meetings after meetings are expecting more powerful earthquakes in the future, with the city of Padang at much risk.

The earthquake was caused by subduction and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing nearly 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 meters (100 feet) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest hit, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.
