1 The Basic Algorithms to Predict Earthquakes Patrick Geryl (patrick.geryl (add) skynet.be) October 31, 2015 Abstract: We found strong evidence for earthquakes induced by planetary alignments. Therefore we researched the Planet and Planetoid Moon Earth - Axis alignments from the 8 planets, Pluto and the planetoids Vesta, Ceres, Juno, Pallas and Chiron. 4 algorithms have been found to calculate if 6.0 plus earthquake activity is possible. First you need a geocentric connection with a planet or planetoid with the Sun. Secondly, if the same planet or planetoid has a Heliocentric connection with another planet or planetoid, a 6.5 plus quake can be triggered. Thirdly you need 3 planets (or a combination planet planetoids) with the Moon Earth axis, which also come back in a Triple alignment. A fourth algorithm gives the time frame in which the quake can happen. The strength from the quake depends from the strength of the alignments. Strong Evidence for Earthquakes Induced by Heliocentric and Planetary Alignments NASA Relevance In 2008 NASA sent this headline into the world, Magnetic Portals Connect to the Sun. If we assume that the same principle can be applied for all the planets and also for five planetoids, then we find a surprising connection between planetary alignments and earthquakes. In short; Planetary alignments create certain magnetic inductions that are amplified by the magnetic field of the Sun and the Earth. With this principle we can calculate how and when earthquakes will be induced. Highlights from the 2008 (October 30 th ) NASA article : During the time it takes you to read this article, something will happen high overhead that until recently many scientists didn't believe in. A magnetic portal will open, linking Earth to the sun 93 million miles away. Tons of high-energy particles may flow through the opening before it closes again, around the time you reach the end of the page. Researchers have long known that the Earth and sun must be connected. Earth's magnetosphere (the magnetic bubble that surrounds our planet) is filled with particles from the sun that arrive via the solar wind and penetrate the planet's magnetic defenses. They enter by following magnetic field lines that can be traced from terra firma all the way back to the sun's atmosphere. Heliocentric - Planetary Alignment Theory The Sun sends charged particles within the solar wind, this loads the planets up. We include Pluto as a planet because the calculations show a huge effect from Pluto on the Sun and the Earth. The moon has no magnetic field, but has a big difference in polarity between the side that is looking to the Sun and the side looking away from the Sun. When planets align...they send a kind of radio signal, probably a GSM-like signal. This radio signal is taken up by the magnetic field of the Sun and then made stronger, just like a GSM signal is made stronger when it reaches your apparatus. The portals that connect the Earth with the Sun are overwhelming proof of this principle. But also the magnetic field of the Earth reacts to these signals: When a signal reaches the Earth, her magnetic field empowers the signal: nearly instant earthquake.

2 Definition Alignments With the Planets & Planetoids: Two planets (or a planet planetoid combination) that Heliocentrically align on the same side of the Sun: Conjunction and the Sun. Two planets (or a planet planetoid combination) that Heliocentrically align on the opposite sides of the Sun: Opposition across the Sun. Triple Line Up: Any two planets, planetoids, or combinations, which Line Up. Remark: There can be quite a bit of difference in one day within these Triple Line Ups, due to fast Mercury that moves around 4 degrees a day, and Venus around 1.6 degrees a day. The Triple Line Up can be anywhere across the solar system e.g. does not have to go through the Earth or the Sun. But they have to be in a straight line Lined Up. The to be used difference in degrees has to be estimated by a large scale program. With these differences we have a reasonable good result: o Opposition across the Sun: 3.5 degrees to each side from the midpoint. o Conjunction and the Sun: 3.5 degrees to each side from the midpoint. o Triple Line Up: 3.5 degrees to each side from the midpoint. Figure 1: Here you see a combination from a Conjunction and the Sun, 2 Oppositions across the Sun and a 3 planet resonance (Triple Line Up). On the right Earth and Mars are in a Heliocentric Conjunction. Venus (on the left) is in a Heliocentric Opposition with the Earth and Mars at the same time. Why the Planetoids? Example 1: Pallas Pallas is in a near -1:1 mean-motion orbital resonance with Ceres. Pallas also has a near-18:7 resonance (6500- year period) and an approximate 5:2 resonance (83-year period) with Jupiter. Courtesy: Wikipedia Figure 2: Depiction of asteroid Pallas 18:7 near resonance with Jupiter in a rotating frame. Jupiter (pink loop at upper left) is held nearly stationary. The shift in Pallas' orbital alignment relative to Jupiter increases steadily over time; it never reverses course (i.e., there is no libration). Example 2: Chiron Chiron is a body in transition, due to phase locking with both Saturn and Uranus. Its orbital period is a close match to the 7:12 resonance with Saturn and the 5:3 resonance with Uranus. It is engaged in a slow, but chaotic exchange of angular momentum involving Saturn and Uranus over a year cycle at present. Chiron spends some of this cycle inside the orbit of Saturn, much as Pluto-Charon do inside Neptune's orbit at perihelion. In addition, Chiron accomplishes two orbital crossings of Saturn's orbit in each complete orbit. At aphelion, it approaches very close to the orbit of Uranus. This year period of Chiron is not an exact discrete relation to either planetary resonance, but it is close enough, and the orbit is eccentric enough to allow for radical change caused by either a too close approach to Uranus or Saturn (Chiron and Other Transitional Solar System Bodies By Willian J. Priest).

3 Geocentric and Heliocentic Alignments and the Highest Earthquakes of the Day Alignments With the Moon Earth - Axis: A planet that aligns with the Moon on the same side of the Earth: Conjunction. A planet that aligns with the Moon on the opposite side of the Earth: Opposition. Other important alignments with the Moon - Earth axis: Trines, Sextiles, Squares. The to be used difference in degrees has to be estimated by a large scale program. With these differences we have a reasonable good result: o Opposition across the Moon Earth axis: 3.5 degrees to each side from the midpoint. o Conjunction and the Moon Earth axis: 3.5 degrees to each side from the midpoint. Alignments Needed for Higher Activity A planet or planetoid which has a Geocentric alignment with the Sun. The most influential alignments are: o Squares. o Trines. o Sextiles. To induce 6.5 plus activity you also need a Heliocentric connection: The most influential alignments are: o Squares. o Trines. o Sextiles. 3 planets (or a planet(s) planetoid(s) combination) active at the same time with the Moon Earth axis, and a corresponding Triple with the same code. Quake activity depends from the strength of the Triple Line Up. Triples with Venus or Mercury lead to higher quake activity. This can be considered one of the strongest Triples possible: o Triple Line Up Mercury Venus Neptune This can be considered one of the weakest Triples possible: o Triple Line Up Juno Ceres Pallas Table of the Used Aspect Settings Alignment Orb Angle Influence Conjunction Opposition Square Trine Sextile Inconjunct Semisextile Semisquare Sesquiquadrate Quintile Biquintile Semiquintile Septile Novile Binovile Biseptile Triseptile Quatronovile

4 Introduction: The most important finding from this theory is that you need a Geocentric connection with the Sun to induce higher activity or a 6.0 quake. This means we have chance for 6.0 or 6.0 plus activity from October 16, 23:30 till October 25, 03:20. October 16, 2015: 23:30 October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun October 20, 2015: 03:40 October 25: 03:20 Geocentric Square Ceres - Sun October 22, 2015: 00:40 October 25: 12:00 Geocentric Inconjunct Vesta - Sun Heliocentric connection To induce 6.5 plus activity you also need a Heliocentric connection: October 10, 2015: Heliocentric Sextile Uranus Ceres: 14:50 - November 2 08:30 Conclusion: The highest possibility for a 6.5 plus is from October 20, 2015: 03:40 October 22, 2015: 20:10, when the Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun and Geocentric Square Ceres - Sun overlap each other, in combination with the Heliocentric Sextile Uranus Ceres Researched Earthquakes October 17, 2015 September 28 (18:00) October 17 (15:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Juno Ceres - Neptune October 11 (04:00) 17 (10:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Mars Venus Jupiter October 12 (12:00) 22 (08:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Uranus Venus Juno October 14 (23:00) 19 (06:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Venus Earth - Neptune October 15 (00:15) 20 (21:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth Mars October 15 (23:30) 21 (04:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Pallas Pluto - Mercury October 16 (14:30) 17 (06:30), 2015: Opposition Mercury Pallas across the Sun October 16 (19:00) 17 (10:30), 2015: Opposition Mercury Pluto across the Sun October 17, 2015: Mw 5.9 Salta, Argentina 11:33:11 October 16, 2015: 23:30 October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun October 17, 2015: Geocentric Semiquintile Saturn - Sun October 17, 2015: Geocentric Sesquiquadrate Neptune - Sun October 17, 2015: Geocentric Quintile Chiron - Sun October 17, 2015: Geocentric Novile Jupiter - Sun October 17, 2015: Geocentric Semisquare Venus - Sun October 17, 2015: Geocentric Novile Mars - Sun October 17, 2015: Geocentric Binovile Pluto - Sun Triples in relation with the Geocentric Sun alignments: October 11 (04:00) 17 (10:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Mars Venus Jupiter October 14 (23:00) 19 (06:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Venus Earth - Neptune October 15 (00:15) 20 (21:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth Mars The Geocentric Sun alignments activate this Opposition / Conjunction:

Also the Triple Jupiter Mercury Neptune stimulates the Opposition Jupiter Neptune. The Moon alignments give the Triple Jupiter Earth Mars as the inducer of the quake in combination with the Conjunction Pluto - Pallas.

Heliocentric Semisextile Chiron - Uranus October 16, 2015: - November 7, 2015 Heliocentric Semisextile Chiron - Ceres October 10, 2015: Heliocentric Sextile Uranus Ceres: 14:50 - November 2 08:30 Pallas is combined with the Earth and the Sun: October 16, 2015: 23:30 October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun Uranus, Ceres and Pallas are combined via the Sun in this Triple: October 17, 2015: mb 5.4 New Britain Region 20:44:57 October 17, 2015: Trine Uranus - Moon Earth START: 16:50 HIGH: 20:40:03 October 17, 2015: Square Chiron - Moon Earth 15:45 23:22 October 17, 2015: Novile Ceres - Moon Earth October 17, 2015: Binovile Neptune - Moon Earth October 17, 2015: Mercury - Moon Earth October 17, 2015: Vesta - Moon Earth Uranus and Ceres are combined via the Sun: October 10, 2015: 14:50 - November 2 08:30 Heliocentric Sextile Uranus Ceres Geocentric combination Geocentric combination Quintile Neptune Pallas. Earlier on Neptune had a Quintile Moon Pallas Earth combination. October 16, 2015: 23:30 October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun

6 Third highest quake is 4 minutes from HIGH Trine Uranus - Moon Earth. Neptune is in a combination with the Moon while it is in a Geocentric combination Neptune Pallas. This combines Pallas with the Moon. Ceres is combined with Uranus. So this Triple can be found back: October 18, 2015 October 12 (12:00) 22 (08:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Uranus Venus Juno October 14 (23:00) 19 (06:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Venus Earth - Neptune October 15 (00:15) 20 (21:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth Mars October 15 (23:30) 21 (04:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Pallas Pluto - Mercury October 18 (11:30) 21 (00:30), 2015: Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun October 18, 2015: Mw 6.0 Tonga 16:18:35 October 16, 2015: 23:30 October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun Semiquintile Saturn Sun Binovile Pluto Sun Semisquare Venus Sun Novile Jupiter Sun Novile Mars Sun Biquintile Chiron Sun Triseptile Vesta - Sun Several Triples were in relation with the Geocentric Sun alignments: October 15 (00:15) 20 (21:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth Mars The Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun and Conjunction Pallas - Pluto and the Sun were also in relation with the Geocentric Sun alignments October 18 (11:30) 21 (00:30), 2015: Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun Semisextile Ceres - Moon Earth 11:48 19:12 HIGH: 15:30 Biseptile Jupiter - Moon Earth Biseptile Mars - Moon Earth Binovile Mercury - Moon Earth Binovile Chiron Moon Earth The Moon Earth alignments activate this Triple: October 15 (00:15) 20 (21:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth Mars Heliocentric connection with the Earth: October 18, 2015: 06:30 October 19: 08:00 Heliocentric Square Mercury Earth

7 Earlier in the day the Triple Line Up Pallas Pluto Mercury was activated: October 18, 2015: 06:30 October 19: 08:00 Heliocentric Square Mercury Earth October 18, 2015: Sextile Sun - Moon Earth HIGH: 08:48:21 (END 12:53) October 18, 2015: Conjunction Pallas- Moon Earth HIGH: 10:48 October 16, 2015: 23:30 October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun Binovile Pluto Sun Chiron is Heliocentrically combined with Uranus and Ceres, and Uranus and Ceres are combined with each other, so the combination is reactivated: October 12, 2015: ! Heliocentric Semisextile Chiron - Uranus October 16, 2015: - November 7, 2015 Heliocentric Semisextile Chiron - Ceres October 10, 2015: Heliocentric Sextile Uranus Ceres: 14:50 - November 2 08:30 This way the following Triple was triggered: Highest quake of the day related to continuous Line Ups related to Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun in relation with Triple Line Up Uranus Ceres Pallas. The Heliocentric Square Mercury Earth activated the Triple Line Up Pallas Pluto Mercury. The Geocentric Sun alignments were also activated in 3 Triples. October 19, 2015 October 12 (12:00) 22 (08:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Uranus Venus Juno October 14 (23:00) 19 (06:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Venus Earth - Neptune October 15 (00:15) 20 (21:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth Mars October 15 (23:30) 21 (04:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Pallas Pluto - Mercury October 18 (11:30) 21 (00:30), 2015: Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun October 19, 2015: Mw 5.8 Mindoro Philippines 13:50:43 October 16, 2015: 23:30 October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun Geocentric Semiquintile Saturn - Sun Geocentric Semisquare Venus - Sun Geocentric Novile Mars Sun Geocentric Triseptile Vesta Sun The Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun was in relation with the Geocentric Sun alignments: October 18 (11:30) 21 (00:30), 2015: Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun October 19, 2015: Trine Venus - Moon Earth HIGH: 12:36:53 October 19, 2015: Square Juno - Moon Earth START 13:40 October 19, 2015: Square Mercury - Moon Earth HIGH: 10:13:28 END:14:20 October 19, 2015: Binovile Vesta - Moon Earth October 19, 2015: Novile Saturn Moon - Earth The Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun is also in relation with the Moon alignments: October 18 (11:30) 21 (00:30), 2015: Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun

8 Juno has a Heliocentric connection with the Opposition Venus Saturn and Neptune: October 19, 2015: Heliocentric Trine Juno - Venus active during quake October 19, 2015: Heliocentric Sextile Juno - Saturn active during quake October 19, 2015: Heliocentric Inconjunct Juno - Neptune active during quake The Moon Earth alignments with Venus and Juno are connected with Uranus in the Triple: October 12 (12:00) 22 (08:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Uranus Venus Juno The Heliocentric Sextile Uranus Ceres is active and therefore Venus and Juno are Heliocentrically stimulated: October 19, 2015: Heliocentric Inconjunct Juno - Neptune active during quake October 19, 2015: Heliocentric Trine Juno Venus active during quake Neptune and Venus are in a just ended Triple with the Earth: October 14 (23:00) 19 (06:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Venus Earth Neptune Heliocentric Earth connections: Biseptile Pallas Pluto - Earth Novile Venus Earth Highest quake of the day related to START Square Juno - Moon Earth. Juno is in a powerful Heliocentric Sextile with Saturn. So the energy from the Heliocentric Opposition Saturn Venus goes to Juno, which stimulates the Heliocentric connections with Venus and Neptune. Venus has a Heliocentric connection with the Earth and with the Moon Earth axis. This reactivates the Triple Venus Earth Neptune. The Square Mercury Moon - Earth activated the Triple Line Up Pallas Pluto Mercury because Pallas and Pluto are in a Biseptile with the Earth. October 20, 2015: Mw 7.1 Vanuatu 21:52:03 October 20, 2015 October 12 (12:00) 22 (08:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Uranus Venus Juno October 15 (00:15) 20 (21:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth Mars October 15 (23:30) 21 (04:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Pallas Pluto - Mercury October 18 (11:30) 21 (00:30), 2015: Opposition Venus - Saturn across the Sun October 22: 20:10 Geocentric Sextile Pallas Sun October 20, 2015: 03:40 October 25: 03:20 Geocentric Square Ceres - Sun Geocentric Semiquare Venus - Sun (but no full alignment) Geocentric Semiquare Jupiter - Sun (but no full alignment) Geocentric Novile Mars - Sun October 20, 2015: 16:40 October 21: 00:22 HIGH: 20:31:20 Square Sun - Moon Earth October 20, 2015: Semisextile Pallas - Moon Earth 15:40-23:00 October 20, 2015: Conjunction Ceres - Moon Earth HIGH: 23:06 October 20, 2015: Binovile Uranus Moon Earth October 20, 2015: Novile Neptune Moon Earth They activated this Triple in connection with the Sun:

We find Jupiter 3 times back in the in the Geocentric Sun connections and once in the Moon alignment.

They all give a big boost to 8 Triples. This is probably the largest I have ever seen. However, the Geocentric alignments with the Sun were not so strong, thus it is was a strong quake but not a megaquake Semisquare Jupiter Sun Semisquare Venus Sun Semisquare Mars Sun Quintile Pluto - Sun Semisextile Saturn Sun Sesquiquadrate Chiron - Sun 4 Triples were in relation with the Geocentric Sun alignments: October 23(15:00) 27 (23:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Venus Earth October 24 (21:30) November 15 (11:00), 2015: Triple Line Up Jupiter Earth - Chiron October 25 (15:20) - 29 (12:30), 2015: Triple Line Up Venus Earth - Chiron

Heliocentric Semisquare Venus - Earth Heliocentric Quintile Ceres Earth Uranus had these Heliocentric connections: Heliocentric Sextile Uranus - Venus Heliocentric Sextile Uranus - Ceres Heliocentric Semisextile Uranus - Chiron Uranus was Geocentrically connected with 4 planets and Chiron: Geocentric Inconjunct Jupiter - Uranus Geocentric Inconjunct Venus - Uranus Geocentric Inconjunct Mars - Uranus Geocentric Novile Neptune - Uranus Geocentric Semisextile Chiron Uranus

17 Reason for the quake: Several M 8.0 plus earthquakes happened on Heliocentric Conjunctions, with planets or planetoids in crucial Line Ups. There was an extremely important Triple alignment Mercury Earth Uranus on October 26 th, Mercury was already loaded up in an 11 day active Triple with Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter and Mercury were Heliocentrically connected via Saturn while Saturn was Geocentrically connected with Mercury Earth Uranus. Just before the Heliocentric Conjunction with Mercury Jupiter started, some Heliocentric, Geocentric and planet (planetoid)moon - Earth connections opened and the combined forces induced a forceful earthquake. Because the Geocentric Sun connections were not strong (no Trines, Squares or Sextiles), the magnitude wasn t in the highest range. Caveats and Theory Foundation There is currently no astronomical program to calculate all of the possible planetary line ups. But for researchers All websites are for free on the internet: 1) Solar System Scope. With this program you can visualize the planets. Extremely Important Remark: Put planet distances on 100%! Otherwise you have faulty results! 2) Astrolog. With this program you can calculate all the planetary alignments How does it work? Go to Setting/ Restrictions: Restrict everything except the planets and the dwarf planets. Go to Setting/ Aspect Settings: Restrict Square/ Trine/ Sextile This way it is easier to calculate the Triple Line Ups which are dark blue. Squares are red Trines are green Sextiles are light blue Planets or planetoids can be restricted at Setting/ Restrictions To calculate the Triple Line Ups Go to Setting/ Calculation Settings Fill in the name of the planet or planetoid: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Vesta, Chiron. To start: Go to Animate Jump rate: Seconds, minutes, hours, days. Jump factor: One unit, two units. Other calculations at Setting: a) Heliocentric: Conjunctions and oppositions b) Sidereal Zodiac: Triple Line Ups with the Earth and also Earth - Moon axis 3) Zet 9 Download and go to Tables/ Astrological Tables/ Mundane Aspects of the Moon All the important Line Ups with the Moon-Earth axis with the planets (you need to subtract 2 hours from the time in the tables!) Remark: The program we use is 17 years old. It needs to be updated because the alignments with the planetoids aren t up to date. Also it is fixed at a difference from 3.5 degrees. It works reasonable, but the results can be quite more accurate if it could be reworked completely Also a computer program is needed to calculate all the alignments from the past, link them to the strength and place of earthquakes and calculate future possibilities. Without such a program, we need at least a dozen mathematicians to work full time to find comparable results
