updated 30 December 2025

report

On 13 January 2025 a strong earthquake occurred at Kyushu, Japan at a depth of 36 km. The seismic event occurred at 12:19:34 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 6.8.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical lunar geometry on 10-11 January 2025.

On 10 January a lunar conjunction with Jupiter converged with a lunar right angle (90°) with Venus, a semi-right angle (45°) with Mars, followed early on the 11th by a lunar right angle with Saturn. The first seismic response was a strong earthquake (M 6.2) at Michoacan, Mexico. The earthquake at Kyushu, Japan occurred near Full Moon.
