What about changing our luck ? If one is to believe in Astrology I'm not a believer. I'm the skeptic.

Here are some figures to demonstrate just how little of an influence such events have on Earth relative to the Moon and even that doesn't cause earthquakes.

This mechanism cannot predict earthquakes, but it can identify ALL times of the year when a Mega Quake is possible and identify ALL times of the year when a MEGA quake is not possible. For anyone interested in Earthquake causes, mechanisms, and predictions, we can definitely state that we know at least one cause.
IMO, he seems to be playing loose with his alignments to keep his 100% accuracy intact.
Note that proximal long alignments, marked with an *, occur when heavenly bodies are non-strictly aligned: when bodies never align themselves or they do on occasion, all while staying aligned to within the +/- 5 arc degrees.
So just for clarification. Do those alignments involve the Earth? I did find JPL's website and plugged in the date and honestly I could not draw a straight line for an "alignment". (but then again I have problems with straight lines, they're so boring )

Hi One is One
The alignment for the sumatra quake are:
Mars and Neptune, 1 minute and 14 seconds off perfect, receeding, and
sun and Saturn, 4 minutes and 79 seconds off perfect, applying
I cannot post a source as I use a off line position calculator. those numbers are using the longitude and latitude of the quake epicenter, and the UTC time accurate to the minute.
I did find your thread. You specifically spoke of March 21 & 22, nothing about the 20th. (as you stated in the thread you rescheduled a trip because of the data you presented, yet you never mention the March 20 EQ within the thread)
As form Mar 21, 2012, there was a big one on the 20th in Oaxaca, Mexico. I posted a thread on that one.
Why EQs do not happen every time would go a long way to making this theory more palatable.
As to why quakes do not occur on all alignments, for me we do not understand the mechanism well enough. I am working on a mechanism, and I can see it in outline, but am not there yet.
Nope, I can not agree with that. I find it curious, but not conclusive.
Surely you can agree that just because all alignment do correlate to earthquakes does not invalidate that all 12 of the largest quakes in the last 107 years occur on alignments?

From the link in the quote.
The combined influence of the rest of the objects in the solar system is less than 10 billionths of the influence if the moon.

So I have a few questions.....
What was the alignment on April 11, 2012? There was an 8.6 off the west coast of northern Sumatra. Once you come up with what alignment happened, can you please post a link to the source.
Why was there not a major quake around March 21st (2012)? And with that if these alignments happen about 40 times a year why isn't there more major quakes?
If these alignments do cause these major quakes why didn't we have a major quake when all the planets aligned on May 5, 2000?
Sure, we can continue as soon as you address the serious concerns about your credibility, misleading us about Stevenson paper, or 2d-3d, and so on.
I'm going to check personally everything you say here from now on. You seem one of those authoritarian guys who can't be trusted even in most trivial things.
Wow ttimez.
You are so caught up in your digital ego you are swinging in the dark.
Take a breath, walk outside.
