High Potential for Tsunamis.
As you can see at this list from USGS for this Asia Region there have been multiple strong quakes since the initial 7.6 Tremor. With the symbol of the ocean so strong on this Pisces Moon-passing Neptune (yesterday) then Chiron at the time of the trigger quake. This has put inotion forces that will spread out toward the next New Moon. The Chart Below is set for the time of the quake when it struck Eastern Samar, at 8:47 p.m. Friday.
Taurus is rising opposing Mars also in a fixed sign in active Scorpio., Venus the ruler of the ascendant/chart now in a sign relating to the sea being Cancer . Venus is also in the 4th House of ground zero applying toward a powerful cardinal square with Saturn near the angular 7th. Venus and Saturn in hard aspect not only means cooling weather, a mistrustful attitude but an extreme hardening or crust which can break suddenly.
Not to mention that Uranus-Pluto continue on their path with Pluto now statioing.
In fact on September 17th Pluto stations direct exactly at 10:05 PM, about 24 hours before the next Mega Turbulent and Chaotic Times Uranus-Pluto exact square - marked the day

August 31, 2012 – PHILIPPINES - A magnitude 7.9earthquake shook some parts of the Visayas, particularly Eastern Samar, at 8:47 p.m. Friday. The earthquake was later downgraded to a 7.6 by the USGS. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported in its website that the quake’s epicenter was located at 112 kilometers east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. The USGS issued a tsunami warning in the Philippines, as well as in Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan and Guam.
Geologic Summary per USGS: The August 31, 2012 M 7.6 earthquake off the east coast of the Philippines occurred as a result of reverse faulting within the oceanic lithosphere of the Philippines Sea plate. The preliminary location of the earthquake indicates this is an intraplate event, 50 or more kilometers to the east of the subduction zone plate boundary between the Philippine Sea and Sunda plates
A tsunami alert originally was issued for several countries in the region including Indonesia and Japan and for Pacific islands as far away as the Northern Marianas, but they all were later lifted, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said

Astrology report starting on Thursday: August 30th:
Tonight the mellow and totally insane Pisces Moon reflects a totally palpable shift. We may not be sure what is coming and could feel slightly apprehensive as our imaginations are fired up. Mercury along with stimulated from the active energies of Mars in Scorpio swim toward tomorrow's major Blue Moon in the sign of sacrifice, longing and weird experiences.
It doesn't take a prophet or NASA to tell you that the second Full Moon in August is a biggie even if it doesn't turn Blue. This deliberately cute story and video - Watch out for the Blue Moon even makes a reference to historic mega events like Krakatoa in 1883 this uncanny foreshadowing. "A truly-blue Moon usually requires a volcanic eruption. Back in 1883, for example, people saw blue moons almost every night after the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa exploded with the force of a 100-megaton nuclear bomb. Plumes of ash rose to the very top of Earth's atmosphere, and the Moon … it turned blue!" This is particularly appropriate with so much seismic activity world wide. This morning a large polar quake registering 6.8 Magnitude struck 99km NW of Olonkinbyen, Svalbard and Jan Mayen Island. Currently in Alaska, we are seeing a continued earthquake swarm awaken the volcano Little Stikin which has been dormant for 182 years In fact world wide there are a number of active volcanoes. In Indonesia two volcanoes, the Soputan and the Tangkubanparahu have been recording avalanches and volcanic earthquakes. In Ecuador increased activity has occurred at Tungurahua volcano, while the White Island Volcano has erupted multiple times, first in 11 year On the West Coast the massive quake storm in Brawley California has triggered a state of emergency.
Blue moons occur every two or three years (7 times in the 19-year Metonic cycle), Note that a period of 19 years is almost exactly equal to 235 synodic month which reflects an eclipse cycle. Today is pretty special with our without the Blue Moon. @ 6:58 AM this second Full Moon of August occurs in Pisces @ 8 degrees 33 minutes with this Sabian symbol: The race begins, a jockey spurs his horse with great speed. Since the last New Moon in Leo on August 17th it might seem like months have passed but we are now at a time of completion – a major turning point. There is a prophetic frequency to this Blue Moon since the Sun is at 8 degrees 33 minutes Virgo with this curious Sabian Symbol: A man making a futurist drawing. Visionary thought is favored here and since technology is over-hyped this moon offers us alternatives even aw potentially real 5 D earth to reside. Let's look at the fixed stars on this Blue Moon A chart set for San Francisco @ 6:58 AM PDT:
Chart Below:
Heliacal Rising Star is Alphard, which is an orange star in the neck of the the Hydra Watersnake. This represents obsessions which cause us to live life close to the edge, or to seek intense emotional encounters. Alphard represents a chaotic, turbulent and untamed energy. According to Robson, Alphard is a mixed blessing and curse. He says Alphard stimulates wisdom, musical and artistic appreciation, knowledge of human nature. Also triggers strong passions, lack of self control, immorality, revolting deeds and a sudden death by drowning, poison or asphyxiation. That sounds like something to be nervous about . The Heliacal Setting Star over San Francisco is Sadalmelek, pale yellow star on the right shoulder of the Water-Bearer, Aquarius. Sadalmelek is known as the Lucky One of the King. This star is known to bring fertility and when setting it helps us find unexpected abundance and good fortune in even the most difficult situations. tomorrow's Full Moon with a chart set for Greenwhich @ 1:58 PM
