The strongest earthquake in the world: the fury of nature. Natural Disasters: Earthquakes 1960 Chile Earthquake


Earthquake in Chile May 22, 1960 19:11:14 UTC.
Magnitude 9.5

The consequences of the earthquake:

About 1,655 dead, 3,000 wounded, 2,000,000 people lost their homes. Damage was estimated at $550 million. The earthquake triggered a tsunami that killed 61 people.
The results were worldwide, with $75 million in damage to Hawaii, 138 deaths in Japan, and $50 million in damage. 32 people have died and are missing in the Philippines. Some destruction was on the West Coast of the United States.

Serious earthquake damage was in Valdivia, in the Puerto Montt area. Most of the casualties and most of the damage were caused by a huge tsunami that caused damage along the coast of Chile, in the Lebu region of Puerto Aisen and in many parts of the Pacific Ocean.

Puerto Saavedra was completely destroyed by waves that reached a height of 11.5 m (38 ft), houses were destroyed 3 km (2 mi) from the coast. An 8 m (26 ft) high wave caused a lot of damage in the Corral.
The tsunami killed 61 people in Hawaii, mostly in Hilo, where the tsunami reached 10.6 m (35 ft) in height.
Waves over 5.5 m (18 ft) reached the north of Honshu about 1 day after the earthquake, where over 1,600 houses were destroyed and 185 people were killed or missing.
Another 32 people were killed or missing in the Philippines after the tsunami.
Tsunami damage also occurred on Easter Island, Samoa and California. One to 1.5 m (3–5 ft) soil subsidence occurred along the Chilean coast from the southern tip of the Arauco Peninsula.
On May 24, 1960, the Puyehue volcano erupted, a plume of smoke and steam reached 6,000 meters. The eruption continued for several weeks.

This earthquake was preceded by 4 foreshock earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0, including a magnitude 7.9 on the Richter scale on May 21, 1960, which caused severe damage in the Concepción area.
This is the largest earthquake of the 20th century.




It should be noted that the death rate from the tsunami outside of Chile, as a result of this earthquake, was 1655 people. But some estimates put the death toll at 5,700 outside of Chile.
The death toll was less than it could have been, because it happened in the middle of the day, many buildings were earthquake resistant and a number of strong foreshocks made the population ready for it.

The memory of a deceased, but so close before a person, must be passed on from generation to generation and be preserved for centuries. People understood this even in ancient times, which is confirmed by the burial monuments made of stone that have come down to our times. The works of the Tsargranit granite workshop are monuments that are created taking into account all the recommendations and wishes of our customer, as well as in accordance with all funeral business standards.

The earthquake in Chile in April 2014, fortunately, is nothing compared to the largest earthquake on record, the Great Chile earthquake in May 1060, which had a magnitude of 9.5. The earthquake in Chile in 1960 claimed the lives of 10 thousand people, the cities of Concepción, Valdivia, Puerto Montt were destroyed, and the tsunami that followed the earthquake caused enormous damage not only to Chile, but also to Hawaii.

As you know, on the night of April 1, 2014 in Chile there was strong earthquake, which caused the death of several people, fires and mass evacuations from dangerous areas, and the threat of a tsunami still persists.

Earlier it was reported that on April 1, at about 4 a.m. Moscow time, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 8.2 occurred off the coast of Chile. The outbreak was located at a depth of 10 kilometers, the epicenter was off the coast of the province of Tarapaca, 99 kilometers northwest of the city of Iquique.

The natural disaster caused power outages, the collapse of non-seismic buildings, and fires. About ten people died, perhaps this figure will increase, there is evidence that there are still victims and bodies of the dead under the rubble.

As a result of the earthquake in the Pacific Ocean, a 1.92 m high tsunami arose. First, seismologists warned that the tsunami threatened all countries Latin America with access to the sea. However, according to the latest data, the threat remains only for the coast for Chile and Peru. For Chile, the warning will remain in effect until at least 0800 GMT on Wednesday. The authorities of these countries have already announced the evacuation of coastal areas.

The April 1 earthquake was the third major in this earthquake-prone region in recent times: so, on March 17, an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 occurred in Chile, and on March 24 - a magnitude of 6.1.

And the worst earthquake that ever covered this country occurred on May 21, 1960. It was called the Great Chilean earthquake and became the strongest in the history of observations. The magnitude of the Great Chilean earthquake ranged from 9.3 to 9.5.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the city of Valdivia (which is why it is sometimes called the Valdivia earthquake) 435 kilometers south of the Chilean capital of Santiago. The cities of Concepcion, Valdivia, Puerto Montt were destroyed. Immediately after the earthquake, the country was covered devastating tsunami, whose waves reached a height of more than ten meters. The number of victims of the tsunami exceeded the number of victims of the earthquake itself, and significant damage was caused not only to the Chilean coast, but also to the city of Hilo in Hawaii, about 10 thousand kilometers from the epicenter. Tsunami waves then even reached the coast of Japan.

The number of victims was about ten thousand dead, tens of thousands were injured, more than half a million Chileans were left homeless. The damage in 1960 prices amounted to about half a billion dollars.

No sooner had everyone moved away from the earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, when on February 27 news feeds brought reports of a new, even more powerful earthquake in Chile. Tremors were recorded at a depth of 55 kilometers, 89 kilometers north of the city of Concepción ( Conception) in the central part of the country and 325 kilometers from Santiago. According to the US Geological Survey ( US Geological Survey - USGS), the magnitude of the most powerful of the series of tremors was 8.8. The epicenter was at the point with coordinates 35°50"46""S, 72°43"08""W. The earthquake occurred at 03.34 local time (06.34 GMT).

Eyewitnesses reported that their houses shook, tremors lasted from 10 to 30 seconds. In some messages, the number 2 minutes appears. In some areas of the Chilean capital there was a power outage. Tremors were felt in other Chilean cities, as well as in Argentina.

The tsunami caused by the earthquake reached 11 cities in the country. The height of the tsunami on the coast of Chile was 2.3 meters, on Easter Island, where the population was partially evacuated - 0.4 meters. According to the latest data, the number of victims of the elements in Chile has reached 708 people, over 2 million Chileans were left homeless, 1.5 million houses were damaged, of which 500,000 cannot be restored.

Chile is a narrow and long strip of land (430 km wide from west to east at its widest point, and for the most part less than 200 km, and 4630 km long from north to south) on the west coast South America, located in the so-called “Ring of Fire” (“ Ring of Fire)”, a band of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, surrounding almost the entire Pacific coast, on the border of the Nazca tectonic plates (Spanish - Nazca) and South America. These lithospheric plates are moving towards each other at a rate of 80 mm per year and the Nazca plate, which is the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, is pulled down under the South American coast. Because of this, strong earthquakes are so frequent in Chile.

The largest earthquake on the planet for the entire period of instrumental observations occurred in Chile on May 22, 1960 at 19:11:20 GMT . It was called the Great Chilean Earthquake (or Valdivian Earthquake, Spanish - Terremoto de Valdivia), since the epicenter was located near the city of Valdivia (38°16 S , 73°03 W ) 435 kilometers south of Santiago. The magnitude of this earthquake, according to various estimates, ranged from 9.3 to 9.5. The waves of the resulting tsunami reached a height of 10 meters and caused significant damage even to the city of Hilo in Hawaii, about 10 thousand kilometers from the epicenter, the remnants of the tsunami even reached the coast of Japan. The number of victims was 1655 people, about 3000 people were injured, 2 million people were left homeless. The damage in 1960 prices amounted to about half a billion dollars.

On May 24, 1960, after 47 hours, the Puuehue volcano began to erupt (Spanish - Puyehue), which threw ash and steam to a height of 6000 meters. It went on for several weeks. The earthquake was preceded by four impacts (preshocks) of magnitude over 7.0, including one of magnitude 7.9 that occurred on May 21, 1960 at 10:02:50 GMT , which caused severe damage in the area of ​​Concepción. Since the May 22 earthquake, there have been many aftershocks, five of which had a magnitude of 7.0 or higher. The aftershocks continued until 1 November.

If geophysicists and volcanologists must study and warn the public about possible earthquakes and eruptions based on instrumental observations and measurements, then astrologers should study the celestial circumstances of catastrophes that have already occurred and, if possible, indicate the timing of their likely recurrence. However, it is not enough just transit maps for such prognostic work, because it is necessary to have maps of states on whose territory earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have occurred and may occur.

The history of the modern state of Chile, in particular the achievement of its independence from Spain, is quite well known and in brief it is as follows:

By the time when Napoleon dethroned and interned the Spanish king in 1808 Ferdinand VII, Chile with a population of half a million and capital in Santiago was a colony of Spain. On July 14, 1810, the Chilean Creoles revolted, deposed the Spanish governor and put a Creole aristocrat in his place.

Already on September 18, 1810, the National Government Junta was formed, and September 18 became a national holiday in Chile - National Independence Day. However, the junta was unable to maintain control over the country in which anarchy reigned. The struggle for independence continued until February 1817, when the Chileans, led by the commander-in-chief of the Patriots Bernard O'Higgins with the support of the army of the Argentine general Jose de San Martin in the battle of Chacabuco they defeated the Spaniards and entered Santiago.

On February 12, 1818, the independence of the entire country was proclaimed. The municipality of Santiago asked San Martin to head the new government, but he rejected this proposal, after which O "Higgins was elected supreme ruler. Another battle of Maypu, which took place on 04/05/1818, finally put an end to Spanish rule in Chile.

Despite the fact that September 18, 1810 is considered National Independence Day in Chile, in astrology, with the filing Nicholas Campion(The book of world horoscopes. - M .: 1995.) two later dates are more often used - 02/12/1818 of the final declaration of independence of the country (at 12:00 LT ) and 04/05/1818 at the end of the Battle of Chacabuco (14:00 LT ). The difference with Greenwich Mean Time is -4:43.

Without carrying out a full-fledged rectification of the maps of Chile in view of its complexity, the need for a thorough knowledge of the history of Chile, I limited myself to considering the synastry of the maps of two prominent Chilean political figures and its presidents with maps for the above three dates. These figures were Salvador Allende and General Augusto Pinochet.

Salvador Allende Gossens (Spanish) Salvador Allende Gossens, June 26, 1908, Valparaiso, Chile - September 11, 1973, Presidential Palace, Santiago, Chile) - Chilean statesman and political figure, socialist, President of Chile from November 3, 1970 to September 11, 1973. He died during the military coup organized by Augusto Pinochet, while defending the presidential palace during the assault.

Augusto José Ramon Pinochet Ugarte (Spanish) Augusto Jose Ramon Pinochet Ugarte; November 25, 1915, Valparaiso, Chile - December 10, 2006, Santiago, Chile) - Chilean statesman and military figure, captain general (general of the army), head of the military junta from September 11, 1973 to June 27, 1974, Supreme Head Chilean nation from June 27 to December 17, 1974, President of Chile from June 27, 1974 to March 11, 1990. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Chile from September 11, 1973 to March 11, 1998.

Their natal cosmograms at 12:00 LT had the closest relationship with the Chilean independence map of February 12, 1818, a slightly weaker connection with the Chacabuco battle map of April 5, 1818, and the weakest connection with the independence map of September 18, 1810. Therefore, in the future, when analyzing the astrological circumstances of earthquakes 1960 and 2010, the first two maps were used, shown, respectively, in Fig. 1 and 2.

Without analyzing in detail the map of Chile's independence dated February 12, 1818, we note that it clearly shows signs of great seismic activity, the danger of a tsunami arising from the square of Pluto at 24 ° 02 Pisces in the 11 House of Hope with Uranus and Neptune at 19 ° 27 and 25°57 Sagittarius in the 8th house of catastrophes, death. In this configuration, Uranus in the fire sign of Sagittarius is responsible for frequent earthquakes, Neptune, together with Pisces - for the ocean and tsunamis, Pluto in the water sign of Pisces - for volcanic eruptions, movements of tectonic plates and the massive action of these natural disasters, 8 House together with Pluto - for the death of people from natural disasters.

A large-scale manifestation of the underground element is provided by Jupiter at 4 ° 52 of the earth sign of Capricorn, associated with the mountains, which is in the aspect of binanogon (orbis 0 ° 50) with Pluto. The ruler of Capricorn - Saturn is located at 6 ° 45 Pisces and in sextile with Jupiter in the 8th House, therefore it can be said that the earth and earthly rocks (Saturn) abundantly (Jupiter) “flow” (Pisces) under the soles of the feet (Pisces) of the Chileans. In addition, the ruler of the 4th House of territory and earth in Leo - the Sun - is in the sign of Aquarius, whose ruler - Uranus in the 8th House is responsible for destructive and fatal earthquakes.

Rice. 1. Map of the Independence of Chile, February 12, 1818, 12:00 LT, Santiago, 33°27 S , 70°42 W

The Moon at 18°14 Taurus in the 1st House of character and self-expression of the nation, being in tense aspects of the square with Venus and the Sun at 16°28 and 23°27 Aquarius in the 9th and 10th Houses, one and a half square with Jupiter and quincunx with Uranus in the 8th House, testifies about fortitude and patience (Taurus) of the Chilean people (Moon, 1st House) to all natural disasters.

Mars at 13 ° 13 Gemini at the junction of 1 and 2 Houses says that in the life of the state, in its external manifestations (House 1) and in the economy (House 2), an important role is played by military intellectuals (Mars, Gemini), whose influence from - due to the aspect of binanogon with the same Pluto in the 11th House, it has a dominant and powerful (Pluto) character, in some ways even karmically conditioned (binanogon). Interestingly, the ruler of Gemini and Mars - Mercury resides in the 9th House of worldview and distant countries. Therefore, almost all major military leaders were educated in military academies of other countries, primarily in the United States, and they are state-oriented (Capricorn) people united in one powerful corporation (Pluto, 11th House) with common corporate interests. Because of the trine of Mars Venus in Aquarius in the 9th House, the Chilean army and military (Mars) is loved (Venus) in the country and this is part of the ideology and worldview (9th House) of the Chileans.

The presence of Venus and the Sun in the sign of rebels and revolutionaries Aquarius, and even in sextile with Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius, makes the leadership (Sun) of the state very sensitive to socialist ideas (Uranus, Neptune, Sagittarius). Therefore, it was in Chile that such a socialist president could appear and appeared, an idealist like Salvador Allende, who came to power when the directional “socialist-oriented” planets Uranus and Neptune were in the 1st House of self-expression, and Uranus was in conjunction with the Moon (people) and in square with the Sun (power) Chile.

Rice. 2. Map of Chile (Battles of Chacubuco), 04/5/1818, 14:00 LT, Santiago

In the map of the end of the battle of Chacabuco in fig. 2 saved all indicators of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic activity in the country. However, Pluto himself in Pisces, who rules the 4th House of Territory in Scorpio, as well as Saturn, and Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius ended up in the 5th House of creativity, love and children, fell into the 8th House of catastrophes and deaths. However, in this map the significator of the military is very weak - Mars, which turned out to be in the sign of its fall Cancer (5 ° 13) and even in the 12th House of isolation. If the 12th House can still be associated with conspiracies and military coups, then the presence of Mars in the watery and emotional sign of Cancer would make the Chilean military people hysterical, emotionally vulnerable and suffering from deep psychological complexes, especially given the closeness of the 12th House.

For comparison, in Fig. 3 shows a map of the first declaration of Chile's independence from Spain on September 18, 1810.

In this chart, the Ascendant in Capricorn and IC in Pisces, showing that Chile is a mountainous country (Capricorn) and located on the ocean (Pisces). Pluto at 15°49 Pisces in the 3rd House at 11° from the cusp of the 4th House at 26°43 Pisces, as well as Neptune and Saturn at 6°31 and 9°43 Sagittarius near the 12th House cusp at 8°55 Sagittarius can be quite associated with movements tectonic plates. Especially when you consider that Neptune and Saturn are in opposition to Jupiter and the Moon at 1°24 and 3°42 Gemini in the 5th House.

However, the earthquake significator Uranus at 11°44 Scorpio is conjunct Venus at 9°35 Scorpio in the 11th House and trine with Pluto in Pisces in the 3rd House. And these aspects are not as intense as the square of Uranus with Pluto in the charts in Fig. 1 and 2, and therefore should not lead to such powerful earthquakes like the earthquakes of 1960 and 2010. True, in this map the significator of the army and the military - Mars is in the proud sign of Leo, but in the 8th House of Death.

This situation is true for the long 7 years (from 1810 to 1818) of the battles for the independence of Chile, but not for the leading position of generals in the life of the state, which, as we know, it was later.

Taking into account the above, the main map of Chile should still be considered the map of independence dated February 12, 1818, and it is for it, first of all, that we consider the maps of catastrophic Chilean earthquakes and their synastry with the map of the country.

On fig. 4 shows a map of the Great Valdivian earthquake of 1960.

Rice. 4. Map of the Vaddiv earthquake, May 22, 1960, 19:11:20 GMT, 38°16 S, 73°03 W

In this card 4 the House of land, territory, real estate is in the earth sign of Capricorn and is intercepted. The first ruler of Capricorn - Saturn is in the same House at 17 ° 56 Capricorn and retrograde, the second ruler of Capricorn - Uranus is located at 17 ° 17 Leo and in the 11th House of hopes and aspirations. At the same time, Saturn and Uranus are in the aspect of a quincunx with each other. This is the first indication of an earthquake.

The scale and destructiveness of the impact of the underground element follows from the tense aspects of Saturn and Uranus: Pluto sesquisquare (global destruction) at 3°36 Virgo in the 12th House of misfortune with Saturn in the 4th House, Jupiter sesquisquare (scale) at 2°01 Capricorn near the cusp of the 4th House in 4°41 Capricorn with Uranus in the 11th House. Additionally, the Sun at 1° 40 Gemini in the 8th House of Catastrophes and Death forms a one and a half square with Saturn and a quincunx with Jupiter. Another tense aspect is the binary of Mars at 8°44 Aries with Saturn in Capricorn in the 4th House.

N.B. ( Nota bene). The aspect of binanogon (80°) has already figured as an “earthquake generator” in the analysis of the catastrophe in Haiti (Astrologer, 2010, no. 2) and reappeared on the “horizon” in this chart.

The powerful tsunami that formed after the Valdivian earthquake is caused by the lord of the seas and oceans - Neptune at 7 ° 08 bringing death and destruction of the water sign of Scorpio in the 1st House of the “face” of the earthquake. At the same time, Neptune is ( N. B .) the aspect of the binanogon (orbis 0 ° 10) with the significator of the earthquake and the ruler of the 4th House of the earth Uranus in Leo in the 11th House. The huge tsunami waves that hit all the countries of the Pacific coast are associated with the opposition of Neptune with the Moon at 1 ° 07 Taurus in the 7th House of other countries, and their destructive power is with Mars at 8 ° 44 Aries, which turned out to be exactly on the cusp of the 7th House at 8 ° 27 Aries.

Since the Moon in Taurus in the 7th House of the general public controls the 10th House in water Cancer, it was the tsunami (Cancer, water) that became the main material (Taurus) manifestation (10th House) of the 1960 Chilean earthquake for the general public (Moon) in other countries (7 House). The destruction of buildings and roads, catastrophic changes in the landscape (Capricorn, 4th House) of some areas of Chile became an internal matter (4th House) and a reality only for the Chileans themselves.

In addition to the above, it can be pointed out that the rulers of the 8th House of catastrophes in Taurus and Gemini - Venus and Mercury, located together with the Sun in the 8th House, are in aspects with the “destroyer” Pluto at 3 ° 36 Virgo in the 12th House: the Sun and Mercury at 1°40 and 7°58 Gemini squared, and Venus at 23°18 Taurus centagon (100°).

The relatively small number of victims of the 1960 earthquake in Chile itself and abroad can be explained by the presence in the map in Fig. 4 Grand trine formed by Pluto in Virgo, Jupiter in Capricorn and the Moon in Taurus.

But, as always, the main picture of what happened is creatively and very clearly displayed by the stellar brush of Heaven in the synastry of the map of the state and the event itself. Such a pictorial-star canvas in relation to the map of the independence of Chile on February 12, 1818 at the time of the Great Valdivian earthquake is shown in fig. 5. It shows the positions of transiting, progressive and directional planets at the time of the earthquake with indices “t”, “p” and “e”, respectively.

The first thing that can be seen in Fig. 5 is the position of transiting Uranus and directional Pluto at 17°17 and 16°18 Leo near the cusp of the 4th House of earth and underground at 19°46 Leo, which are in exact opposition to Venus Chile at 16°28 Aquarius in the 10th House and in square with the Moon of Chile at 18°14 Taurus in the 1st House of State. Moreover, with the Moon Chile is in exact conjunction (orbis 0 ° 01) directional Neptune at 18 ° 13 Taurus. Together, all these planets form a Tau square affecting the 1st House. appearance and 4 House of the territory of the country.

Already this configuration is enough to describe the Valdivian earthquake in astrological terms: a powerful (Pluto) and destructive earthquake (Uranus) occurred on the territory of the country (4th House), which wiped out numerous buildings, roads and bridges (4th House) that caused a volcanic eruption (Pluto) and powerful tsunami(Neptune, Moon). Another Tau square created by the opposition of transiting Pluto at 3°36 Virgo with Saturn Chile at 6°45 Pisces and their squares with the transiting Sun and Mercury at 1°40 and 7°58 Gemini in the 1st House highlights the scale of destruction (Pluto) , movements of the bottom (Saturn) of the ocean (Pisces), manifestations of volcanic activity (Pluto) and serious problems before the authorities (Sun) of the country, who found themselves in an extremely difficult situation and forced to turn (Mercury, Gemini) for help to the international community.

Rice. 5. Map of the Independence of Chile, February 12, 1818, 12:00 LT, Santiago,

Changes appearance countries after the impact of the underground and water elements are also associated with the conjunction of directional Uranus (earthquake) at 11°43 Taurus with the North Node of the Moon and the Ascendant of Chile at 12°21 and 13°44 Taurus. It is interesting that even the fast-moving transit Moon, as a trigger, took part in the tragedy of 1960: from 1 ° 08 Taurus in the 12 House of misfortune, it formed an opposition with transit Neptune and directional Mars at 7 ° 08 and 5 ° 29 Scorpio in the 6 House work and illness, which led to a powerfully acting (Mars) tsunami (Neptune) and the danger of infectious (Scorpio) diseases (6th House).

The third Tau square at the time of the earthquake was created by progressed Saturn at 18°13 Pisces in the 10th House, radix Uranus at 19°27 Sagittarius in the 8th House of Catastrophes and directional Mercury at 19°52 Gemini in the 2nd House, which also contributed to the earthquake (Uranus, Sagittarius), displacement of the soil (Saturn, Pisces) and multiple problems and worries (Mercury, Gemini) about the restoration of the economy (2nd House) and normal life in the country.

In the map in Fig. 5, other both tense and harmonious aspects are visible, but I would like to pay special attention to the aspects of the binanogon between the transit Neptune (tsunami) at 7 ° 08 Scorpio in the 6th House and Mercury Chile at 27 ° 37 Capricorn in the 9th House, as well as between transiting Pluto ( global destruction, volcanic eruption) at 3°36 Virgo in the 4th House and Mars Chile at 13°13 Gemini on the cusp of the 2nd House.

The map of the last major earthquake in Chile, which occurred on February 27, 2010, is shown in fig. 6.

Rice. 6. Map of the earthquake in Chile, February 27, 2010, 06:34 GMT, 35°50"46" S, 72°43"08" W

At first glance, this card does not contain anything particularly frightening. However, upon closer examination, signs of a major earthquake are visible in it. These include the square of Pluto at 5 ° 01 Capricorn in the 13th House of misfortune with Saturn at 3 ° 00 Libra exactly on the MC at 3 ° 01 Libra and the already mentioned binanogon of Pluto with Uranus 25 ° 33 Pisces in the 3 House of the inner circle. In addition, Pluto is the second ruler of the cusp of the 4th House of Territory and Real Estate in Aries. Catastrophic consequences for the population are seen in the aspects of the Moon (the people) at 18°26 Leo in the 8th House: half square with Saturn on the MC and one and a half square with Pluto in the 12th House.

The first ruler of the 4th House - Mars is not particularly prominent in the chart: it is retrograde, located at 1 ° 08 Leo in the 7th House and is in a harmonious aspect of sextile with Saturn in Libra. Also weakly involved due to the lack of major aspects is the conjunction of Mercury, Neptune and Chiron at 26°06, 26°38 and 26°57 Aquarius in the 2nd House. Only when using minor aspects does the picture change slightly. Thus, Mars in Leo is biquintile with the Sun and partly with Jupiter at 8°33 and 9°27 Pisces in the 3rd House; Mercury, Neptune and Chiron Pisces are biquintile with Saturn in Libra and septile with Pluto in Capricorn; The Moon in Leo is biquintile with Uranus in Pisces.

The relative isolation of Mercury, Neptune and Chiron in the earthquake map led to a relatively low power of the tsunami, contrary to the calculations and expectations of the rescue services of the countries of the Pacific region.

If we turn to the synastry of the Chilean independence map and the February 27, 2010 earthquake map shown in Fig. 7, then here too one can see signs of the impact of the underground elements, but not as strong as in 1960. So, instead of transiting Uranus and directional Pluto at 17-18 ° Leo near IC in fig. 5 in the map in fig. 7 in this place is the transiting Moon at 18°26 Leo, opposing Venus and the Sun of Chile at 16°28 and 23°27 Aquarius and square with the Moon of Chile at 18°14 Taurus in the 1st House. Since the Sun is the ruler of the 4th House of Earth and Buildings, this transiting Moon opposition was the trigger for the 2010 Chilean earthquake.

Another indication of the activation of the 4th House, which is connected precisely with the earth, the destruction of the earth cover and buildings, is the opposition of the directional Sun at 6 ° 02 Virgo in the 4 House to Saturn Chile at 6 ° 45 in the 10 House.

However, the main indicators of a strong earthquake in Fig. 7 are aspects of transiting Uranus at 25°33 Pisces - conjunct Pluto Chile at 24°02 Pisces in the 11th House of Hope and square Neptune Chile at 25°57 Sagittarius in the 8th House of Catastrophe and Death. Additionally, Neptune Chile is conjunct directional Mars at 25°15 Sagittarius and square progressive Mercury and Mars at 26°40 and 27°10 Virgo in the 5th House. All these planets together form a multiple Tau square with the radical Neptune at its tip.

Rice. 7. Map of the Independence of Chile, February 12, 1818, 12:00 LT, Santiago,

Another Tau-square with radix Uranus at 19°27 Sagittarius in the 8th House at the tip of the configuration is formed by squares to Uranus from transit Venus and radix Chiron at 19°43 and 19°35 Pisces in the 10th House and directional Saturn at 18°47 Virgo in 4 House. This Tau square also correlates with a catastrophic earthquake (Uranus, 8th House), destruction of buildings and roads (Saturn, 4th House). There are other tense aspects in the chart, for example, in addition to the Sun of Chile, which rules the 4th House of land and buildings.

The magnitude of the destruction is emphasized by the conjunction of radix Jupiter and transiting Pluto at 4°52 and 5°01 Capricorn in the 8th House and squares to Jupiter Chile from transiting Saturn and directional Pluto at 3°00 and 6°04 Libra in the 5th House.

In the context of increasing seismic activity on the whole on our planet in the coming years 2011-2014, it is important for Chile, as a country located at the forefront (literally and figuratively) of the collision of tectonic plates and earthquakes, to predict the most seismically dangerous periods. Such for Chile should include the periods of the closest intense aspects of transit Pluto, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter to the radical Neptune and Jupiter in the 8th House of the Chile independence map dated February 27, 1818.

Transit Uranusat the end of Pisces and at the beginning of Aries with an orb of 5 ° since the beginning of 2010 forms a square to the radix Neptune at 25°57 Sagittarius and will form it until 01/05/2012 This aspect was accurate on 03/06/2010. Transiting Jupiter will join Uranus in its square Neptune Chile from 17.04 to 13.06.2010, and this square will be exact on 12.05. 2010

The next point of perception of the influence of transit planets will be Jupiter Chile at 4°52 Capricorn. The slowest of the listed transit planets is Pluto in Capricorn with an orb of 5 ° will be in conjunction with Jupiter Chile during all 2010, 2011, 2012, and in 2013 from 21.07 to 18.11. This aspect will be exact on 05/25/2010 and 12/19/2010.

Transit Uranuswill form a square with Jupiter Chile from May 24 to August 17, 2010, then from March 9, 2011 to April 20, 2013 and from October 20, 2013 to February 10, 2014, and it will be exact 03/30/2012, 11/18/2012 and 01/06/2013

Transiting Saturn in Libra, Chile has been in a square with Jupiter since the beginning of 2010 and will interrupt this aspect on 04/09/2010, then re-form it on 07/19 and finally exit it on 10/17/2010. This aspect will be exact on 09/07/2010.

Transiting Jupiter in Capricorn will be in a square with Jupiter Chile from 06/05 to 09/10/2010, then from 01/22/2011 to 03/09/2011, and this square will be exact on 02/16/2011.

When all these periods of intense aspects of transit planets to Jupiter Chile are superimposed, the most dangerous range can be considered from 20.07 to 17.08.2010 Taking into account the action of the square of transit Mars at the beginning of Libra to Jupiter Chile, this dangerous time interval can be narrowed down slightly to the range from 29.07 to 14.08. 2010 with a median around August 6, 2010. By the end of this period, Chile will connect to Jupiter by conjunction and profectional Uranus at 4°29 Capricorn is another harbinger of cataclysms.

In 2011-2013 there will be other seismic periods for Chile, when the aspect of the square of the transit Uranus to the radix Jupiter will become more accurate.

Although, it should be noted, even now Chile is shaking almost constantly. So, on March 4 and 5, four additional earthquakes with a power of more than six points were recorded in Chile. On the evening of 4.03 at 21:29 GMT, instruments registered tremors of magnitude 6.3 65 kilometers from the city of Calama. An earthquake of the same magnitude occurred at 09:19 GMT 40 kilometers from Concepción.

An earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale followed on March 5 at 11:47 GMT . The epicenter of the earthquake was located 20 kilometers northwest of the city of Concepción, the city most affected by the tremors on February 27. The source of the earthquake was located at a depth of 33 kilometers. Before that, seismologists recorded an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was 41 kilometers northwest of Concepción, and its focus was at a depth of 29 kilometers.

However, during the periods noted above, very strong earthquakes are likely. And since during these periods the important natal planets and points of the map of Chile will experience adverse effects from the transits of distant planets, in any case, significant changes in the life of Chile can be expected at this time.

In these maps, one can also find connections with the considered earthquakes. This is not surprising, since the maps of Chile dated February 12, 1818 and 04/05/1818 are quite close to each other in terms of the positions of the slow planets.

Earthquakes are catastrophes that change the face of our planet. In human history, they repeatedly destroyed cities and killed tens of thousands of people. Perhaps the most powerful earthquake in the world happened in 1556 in China. Scientists debate the magnitude of this distant event. The earthquake claimed the lives of 830 thousand people, some parts of the country were depopulated.

Seismic activity has been monitored since the 1900s. The strongest earthquake during this period occurred in South America. The Great Chilean Earthquake happened on May 22, 1960. Its epicenter was the outskirts of the city of Valdivia in southern Chile. As it turned out later, the magnitude of the earthquake was 9.5 on the Richter scale. It began at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America.

Tremors left about 2 million Chileans homeless. Many survived because the disaster happened during the day. The main impact was preceded by several strong foreshocks (preshocks) that forced many Chileans to leave their homes and workplaces. People managed to evacuate to flat areas.

The disaster resulted in the death of many people and the destruction of cities along the coast of Chile. Concepción, the industrial center of the country, and the city of Ancud on the island of Chiloe were destroyed. The city of Castro on the same island also suffered damage, but after 1960 it became the new center of Chiloe.

Valdivia and Puerto Montt were seriously affected. Many villages and small towns were destroyed. The earthquake provoked changes in the landscape of the country. There were strong landslides in the mountains. Falls of rocks and landslides led to the formation of a new reservoir near Lake Rignihue. There were subsidences of the surface, changes coastline. The earthquake was followed by the eruption of the Chilean volcanoes San Pedro and Puehue. It happened away from settlements so they didn't do much damage.

Tsunami

The earthquake set off tsunami waves. They hit the coastal regions of Chile 10-15 minutes after the tremors. The waves that flooded the coast of the South American country reached a height of 25 meters. The water pulled buildings out of their foundations and killed thousands of people.

The island of Chiloé was hit hardest by the tsunami. Some of its inhabitants, fleeing the tremors, went to sea in boats. They found themselves in the face of ocean waves in small boats 500 meters from the shore.

Researchers estimate that the disaster killed up to 6,000 people. Most of them were victims of the tsunami, while the buildings were destroyed, mainly by tremors. According to the government of the country, 2 million Chileans have lost their homes. 130 thousand houses were destroyed - every third house in the disaster zone. The state authorities estimated the material damage at more than one and a half million US dollars.

The Valdivian earthquake became famous because its aftermath killed people far from the epicenter. Tsunami waves headed across the ocean at a speed of about 310 kilometers per hour. Fifteen hours later they hit the Hawaiian Islands and destroyed individual buildings there.

After 12 noon on May 23, 1960, eight waves hit the Hawaiian city of Hilo. The first two caused no damage, and their water subsided quickly. But the third wave was the most destructive, flooding the territory 100 meters deep into the island. 61 people died in the city, allegedly due to ignoring tsunami warnings.

On the island of Hawaii, the largest in the archipelago, the western and southern coasts were affected. On the island of Maui, the main city of Kahului and a number of settlements nearby were most affected by the tsunami. The flood also affected the suburbs of Honolulu, the state capital, where about 50 houses were flooded.

The cities of the Californian coast of the USA suffered from the tsunami: Pacifica, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Princeton, San Diego and others. One and a half and two-meter waves touched the coasts of the states of Oregon, Washington and Alaska.

Japan was hit hardest. The coast of the island of Honshu was covered with six-meter waves. 199 people were killed and 85 were missing. More than 800 Honshu residents were injured and 1,678 houses were destroyed by the water.

The strongest earthquake in the world has become a serious test for the people of Chile. The disaster was followed by a rise in water in Lake Riñihue. It could lead to flooding of the area where 100 thousand people lived. The actions of the Chilean military to regain control over the reservoir avoided another catastrophe.

In May 1960, on the Pacific coast of South America, in Chile, there were several very strong and many weak earthquakes. The strongest of them, at 11-12 points (the strongest earthquake in the 20th century on the scale of the Japanese seismologist Kanamori), was observed on May 22. Its epicenter was in the south of the Arauco Peninsula. Within 1-10 seconds was spent great amount energy hidden in the bowels of the Earth. More than half of the provinces of Chile were affected, at least 10 thousand people died. The destruction covered the Pacific coast for more than 1000 km. Large cities were destroyed - Concepción, which existed for more than 400 years, Valdivia, Puerto Montt, Osorno and others. The coastal strip with an area of ​​10 thousand km2 sank after the earthquake below the ocean level and turned out to be blocked by a two-meter layer of water. As a result of the Chilean earthquakes, 14 volcanoes began to operate.
Between May 21 and May 30, 1960, a series of subsequent aftershocks killed 5,700 people and left another 100,000 homeless, destroying 20% ​​of the country's industrial complex. The amount of damage caused was estimated at $400 million. In 7 days, almost the entire countryside of the country turned into ruins. Numerous strong aftershocks and a giant tsunami devastated more than 100,000 square kilometers of Andean countryside. Several million Chileans were left homeless.

Giant sea waves that originated off the coast of Chile during the 1960 earthquake reached Hawaii, traveling 11,000 km in about 15 hours (speed - 730 km / h). A mariner in Hilo, Hawaii, alternately noted the rise and fall of the water level, which occurred at about 30-minute intervals. Despite warnings, these waves in Hilo and elsewhere in Hawaii caused 60 deaths and $75 million in damage. After another 8 hours, the waves reached Japan, once again destroying the port facilities there; while 180 people died. There were also casualties and destruction in the Philippines, in Nov. Zealand and other parts of the Pacific Rim.

The destruction inflicted on the Pacific coast of Chile was monstrous. The cause of the destruction was tremors, landslides, landslides, eruptions of awakened volcanoes. But no less terrible were the destruction caused by giant tsunami waves. In Chile, not so many people died from tsunami waves, except for the villages located at the mouth of the Maulin River. About a thousand people are believed to have drowned there. The tsunami washed away the port of Ancund, the capital of the island of Chiloe off the coast of Chile.

Shortly after the powerful 3 p.m. low level low tide. With cries of horror "The sea is leaving!" everyone rushed to the hills. The wave rushed further across the expanses of the Pacific Ocean. Easter Island was her next victim. The most majestic building of the island - ahu Tongariki is a stone building made of huge blocks. The wave, which was born 2,000 km from Easter Island, jokingly scattered multi-ton stone blocks. Then the tsunami reached the Hawaiian Islands. Here the wave height was about 10 meters and the destruction was terrible. Residential houses, administrative buildings, cars were washed away or destroyed. The victims of the tsunami were 60 people. Rolling through the whole Pacific Ocean, giant waves hit Japan. Thousands of houses were washed into the sea, hundreds of ships sank or were wrecked, 120 people became victims of rampant water elements.
Here is how one of the eyewitnesses who survived this catastrophe describes his impressions: “First, there was a rather strong push. Then there was an underground rumble, as if a thunderstorm was raging somewhere in the distance, a rumble similar to the rumblings of roma. Then I again felt the vibrations of the soil. I decided that, as it happened before, everything would soon stop. But the earth continued to tremble. Then I stopped, looked at the same time at the clock. Suddenly, the tremors became so strong that I could hardly stay on my feet. The aftershocks continued, their strength constantly increased and became more and more violent, I became scared. I was thrown from side to side, like on a steamer in a storm. Two cars passing by were forced to stop. In order not to fall, I knelt down, and then got on all fours. The tremors did not stop. I became even scarier. Very scary ... Ten meters from me, with a terrifying crack, a huge eucalyptus broke in half. All the trees swayed with incredible force, well, how would you say, as if they were twigs that were shaking with all their might. The surface of the road swayed like water. I assure you, it was exactly like that! And what: further all this continued, the more terrible it became. The tremors were getting stronger. The earthquake seemed to go on forever.”
