On 18 May 2019 a strong earthquake occurred near the West coast of Honshu, Japan at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 13:22:19 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.5.
Major seismic activity had already occurred on 15 June due to a series of planetary alignments and associated lunar geometry. Since 14 June Earth had been involved in three alignments that are considered critical to very critical, such as Earth-Mercury-Mars (see 2015 and 2017). The Mercury-Earth-Saturn alignment on 16 June coincided with a high lunar peak, partially due to the Moon's alignment with Jupiter. Given the critical planetary and lunar geometry from 14 to 17 June, there was certainly the potential for seismic activity in the higher 7 to 8 magnitude range from about 17 to 20 June.
