Mw 7.0 Vanuatu

updated 15 January 2023

report

On 8 January 2023 a major earthquake occurred at Vanuatu at a depth of 26 km. The seismic event occurred at 12:32:42 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.0.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is critical planetary geometry with Mercury and Venus on 7 and 8 January 2023.

A convergence of two planetary conjunctions — Sun-Venus-Saturn and Sun-Mercury-Mars — occurred on 4 January 2023. It was followed by a lunar conjunction (Full Moon) on 6 January. On 7 and 8 January critical geometry with Mercury (PGme(r)) and Venus (PGve(r)) occurred within 24 hours. This particular geometry has the potential to trigger major earthquakes around mid-7 magnitude, which occurred a day later in Kepulauan Babar, Indonesia. The last time this geometry occurred was on 9-10 September 2022, accompanied by the same lunar conjunction. It was followed by a similar sized major earthquake late on 10 September 2022.
