M6.2 - 33km S of Tolotangga, Indonesia

UTC Time = 2016-12-29 22:30:18

Magnitude = 6.2m

Location = 9.067°S   118.609°E 

Depth = 72.3 km

DRIVERS:

Jupiter at Lunar Elongation

NOTE:

Attached is the NASA JPL Ephemeris data, forecasted, with a circled date of Dec 29th, 2016.  However, Jupiter at Lunar Elongation is showing as forecasted for the 30th, and you will see that the quake happened at 22:30, which is 1.5 hours before the start of the next days geometries.  The forecasted data is taken from Noon each day, so even though the quake date is the 29th, and the listed geometry is shown for the 30th, because it is only 1.5 hours before the next day, this is still a good quake driver.

M1.5 - 28km ENE of West Yellowstone, Montana

UTC Time = 2016-12-29 06:52:39
Magnitude = 1.5m
Location = 44.765°N 110.776°W 
Depth = 4.5 km 

DRIVERS:

Uranus at Lunar Elongation

COMBINATIONAL DRIVERS:

- Sun (New Moon), Mercury, and Saturn (ALL 3) are at Lunar Conjunction

*** Jupiter and Uranus at Geocentric Opposition

NORMALY, this area would see a quake driver for Jupiter or Saturn, due to magnetic polarity of the area where Yellowstone exists NOT Uranus...  HOWEVER, due to the Geocentric Opposition of Uranus and Saturn, the polarity seems to have reversed, that is incoming, and resonated by the Moon, so we see Uranus as the VISUAL CONFIRMATION DRIVER.
