The transit of major planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Rahu are specifically studied for the purpose of timing of an occurrence of an earthquake. An astrologer practicing the mundane astrology can only forecast about the timing of the tremors to some extent but its exact location and intensity are almost impossible to predict. As per the sage Garga the earthquakes usually comes around full Moon, new Moon and/or eclipses. The major earthquake are expected when any two of the Saturn, Jupiter or Mars are retrograde and are in square of each other at close degrees. Apart from these the transit of Mars and Saturn from some sensitive Nakshatra and Rashi’s are carefully studied for the purpose of predicting the timing of an earthquake.

Major planets transiting from the fixed signs bring earthquakes at many places around the world during a short span of time. This situation is going to happen from the last week of April this year when Mars would be afflicting the sensitive Rohini Nakshatra in Taurus sign. Mars will be giving aspect to Saturn from Taurus and then again from Gemini while Jupiter would be retrograde in Virgo an earthy rashi. This combination will bring strong earthquakes across the globe during the months of May and June in 2017.
