Conjuration
Labels:
John Dee,
Mars-Ketu conjunction

Yet, even if we can expect such events by monitoring the planetary configurations, locating them is very difficult: they can happen in any hour, whereas the astrological houses (allowing us to estimate symbolic location and direction) are moving through the day, making a complete circle over zodiac. On the other hand, applying formal methods of mundane astrology (considering charts of various states, their seasonal ingresses, conjunctions, etc) on routine basis is a physically unrealisable task. Here, successful prediction with accurate location becomes a matter of pure luck.
Moreover, the depth of the hypocentre (the point of the actual shock, which is projected onto the surface of the planet as epicentre) is very important as well: the most devastating earthquake is harmless for humanity if it happens deep enough.
One can see how difficult the mundane astrology - but this cannot deter people from seeking the truth further.
Ironically, in the XVI century John Dee could practice magical arts freely, but had to hide his interest in mathematics, which was synonymous of conjuration. Nowadays, this is quite opposite: the celestial influence is marginal now.
I am looking forward to the time when the learning complete the turn of the spiral, accepting the past knowledge to advance new one.
