On 9 January 2023 a major earthquake occurred at Kepulauan Babar, Indonesia at a depth of 104 km. The seismic event occurred at 17:47:35 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.6.
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. 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. Atmospheric fluctuations were recorded on 3 and 5 January 2023 marking the West Pacific crossing the Banda Sea.
