On 31 March 2022 a major earthquake occurred Southeast of Loyalty Islands at a depth of 10 km. The seismic event occurred at 05:44:01 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.0. Strong seismic activity preceded and followed this main shock.
On the 27th a Venus-Jupiter-Neptune conjunction occurred, a conjunction that occurs every 12-13 years (sometimes two or three times after that cycle). A short explanation video about this conjunction was made, especially because the previous time (2009) this conjunction was followed by major seismic activity as well. In addition, three more conjunctions occurred on the 28th and 29th, coinciding with critical lunar geometry. Because of this critical geometric conversion major seismic activity was anticipated, potentially reaching higher 7 to 8 magnitude from 28 to 31 March. See also the Telegram posts below.
