M 6.8 - Vanuatu region

                By: Gordon Rutherford 

USGS EVENT - Vanuatu

Geomagnetic Location Polarity = RED5

Driver Polarity = Saturn Positive(LOW), Uranus Neutral, Venus Negative

Seismic Influencers = Venus at Lunar Conjunction

Combinational Drivers = Saturn at 120 degrees from the Sun, Uranus and Venus at Near Opposition, Uranus and Saturn at Elongation

Magnetic Disposition of Drivers

- Uranus Neutral

- Saturn Positive (LOW)

- Venus = Negative

Magnitude Calculation

Uranus + Saturn + Moon + Venus

This review was DIFFICULT, in that there were Lunar Geometries to Jupiter and Neptune, and the Earth-facing Rotating Solar Magnetic Field is Negative today, so this would ALSO Yield a 6.8m Event.

Here is the data from the EMSC, showing the Performance of Uranus and Saturn at Global Epicenter Median Times.  High Yielding.
