Well, let me tell you, this earthquake astrology thing, it’s a real head-scratcher. Some folks, they think the stars and planets, they got somethin’ to do with the ground shakin’. Me? I don’t know what to believe. But it sure is somethin’ to think about.
They say, them that know about these things, that you can look at the stars. Like readin’ tea leaves, I reckon. You can see when the earth might get a little jumpy. They got all these fancy words for it, like “zodiac signs” and “retrograde.” Sounds like a whole lotta mumbo jumbo to me. But if it helps you be prepared for when things get to rumbling. I guess that is a good thing.
Now, I heard some folks talkin’. They say when certain planets, like two or more, get all lined up with Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn – that’s those zodiac signs, you know – and they’re all mixed up with Rahu or Ketu, whatever those are, then the earth, she might start to grumble. One of them planets, it’s gotta be goin’ backwards, too. That’s what they call retrograde. It is all very confusing!
- Taurus
- Virgo
- Capricorn
And that Rahu and Ketu, they gotta be in the mix, too. Like spices in a stew, I suppose. You gotta have just the right amount, or the whole thing’s ruined. Too much shakin’, not enough shakin’, it’s a delicate balance, they say. If you ask me, it is more like when I make my biscuits and they come out all wrong!
I seen some folks, they got books on this earthquake astrology. Big, thick books, full of charts and numbers. More numbers than I ever seen in my whole life! And they study ’em, like they’re tryin’ to find a lost calf in a blizzard. Maybe there’s somethin’ to it. Or maybe not. Who can really say.
Some folks even go to classes. To learn about the stars. Imagine that! In my day, we learned how to can peaches and mend fences. But times are changin’, I reckon. You can take these classes in a classroom, or even on that there internet. They even give you a paper sayin’ you know about stars and earthquakes. Seems silly to me, but whatever floats your boat, I always say.
And then there’s these meetups. Folks gettin’ together to talk about earthquake astrology. Like a quilting bee, but instead of makin’ quilts, they’re makin’ predictions about the earth shakin’. It’s a strange world we live in, ain’t it?
They say they can’t tell you exactly when or where an earthquake’s gonna hit. Not down to the minute, anyway. But they can kinda guess. Like sayin’, “Well, there might be rain next week.” You don’t know for sure, but it’s good to have your umbrella handy, just in case.
I heard them talk about somethin’ called a “grand cross” in the sky. Sounds mighty important. They say it’s like the sky’s tryin’ to yank the earth right outta its place. And that’s when the ground starts to shake. Makes sense, I guess. If somethin’s pullin’ on you hard enough, you’re bound to wobble a bit.
They mentioned a big earthquake, a 7.5 they called it, in some place called Guerrero, Mexico. Said it happened because of that grand cross. And another one in Tarapaca. Seems like when them planets get all bunched up, like a flock of sheep in a pen, things start to get a little wild down here.
Now, if a big earthquake hits where lots of folks live, it’s gonna be a mess. No two ways about it. Houses fallin’, people gettin’ hurt. It’s a terrible thing. These earthquake astrology folks, they try to figure out what’s common in people’s star charts when that happens. Like they’re lookin’ for a pattern, a sign that somethin’ bad’s comin’.
There was that big wave, that tsunami they called it, in Japan. A long time ago. I remember hearin’ about it on the radio. Terrible thing. They say it was caused by a planet called Uranus movin’ away from a sign called Pisces. Pisces is the ocean, you see. And Uranus, that’s the troublemaker, always stirrin’ things up.
Earthquakes, they don’t just happen in one place. They happen along these lines, these weak spots in the earth. Like a crack in a teacup. And they can affect big cities, places where lots of people live. That is when things get really bad. These astrologers, they’re tryin’ to figure it all out. They got their work cut out for ’em, that’s for sure. They need more tools for all that. Some say they are working on getting those tools.
Some folks in the 1940s, they were lookin’ at the sun, and how the planets go around it. They called it “heliocentric positions”. Sounds like somethin’ out of a science fiction book, don’t it? But maybe they were on to somethin’. Who knows?
Most folks, they only talk about earthquakes after they happen. They measure ’em, figure out where they started. But wouldn’t it be somethin’ if we could know beforehand? It seems like it could be hard to know for sure. But I guess that is why these people keep studying the stars.
You don’t need to be some fancy astrologer to use the stars in your daily life. They say you can just check your horoscope, see what the stars have in store for you. Like readin’ the weather forecast, I suppose. Might help you decide whether to wear a sweater or carry an umbrella.
They say these earthquakes and the stars, they’re all connected. Like a big, cosmic dance. And sometimes, the music gets a little loud, and the earth starts to shake. It’s all a mystery to me. But it’s sure somethin’ to ponder, ain’t it? Maybe the stars really do have somethin’ to say about the ground beneath our feet. Maybe, just maybe, there’s somethin’ to this earthquake astrology after all.
