Earthquake & Incident Watch: 13-23 July 2026 (Part II - limited)

Palmist Ankur is a leading mundane astrologer based in Norway. He has numerous successful earthquake predictions to his credit, including the Kamchatka M8.8 mega quake, the December 8 Japan M7.6 quake, and the highly damaging Venezuela, Bangladesh, Bohol (Philippines), Afghanistan, Mandalay and Shigatse earthquakes in the recent past, as well as intraplate quakes such as the Western Cuba M6.1 quake. He has also accurately predicted several tech outages, disasters and accidents (Brown University and Bondi Beach mass shootings, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Dhaka and Ōita fires, UPS plane crash in Kentucky, Colombia, Amur Oblast and Bangladesh plane crashes, etc.), political events (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei death, Iran unrest and war, Trump win, several elections, etc.), as well as weather events. All his astrological services can be viewed here, and a well-documented, non-exhaustive track record of his successful predictions is here.

Please read this sticky post to understand better the advantages and shortcomings of my earthquake prediction techniques as of now. Please read this post to access links to some of the modern scientific literature that proposes astrophysics, rather than geophysics, to understand and predict earthquakes.

Please do support me in my further research by upgrading to paid subscriptions or making a donation, if you can afford it.

If you want me to provide earthquake predictions’ probability for a specific location during a specific period in the future (it can even be 5 years from now), it is a paid service. Please see here (limited scope; nominal charges) or here (larger scope, including advice on suitable timings to start the journey, especially useful when one needs to travel even though weather or earthquake prognostics aren’t great; higher charges). You may also order a 6-month or 1-year predictive overview of earthquakes for a particular location.

Other points to remember:

(1) Throughout this summer at least, I will be looking at only Japan, China, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan area in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the Pacific West of North America (but not further north of Washington State area), Texas area, Ecuador-Peru, northern Chile and northern Venezuela in the Western Hemisphere, as I am very hard pressed for time. Of course, sometimes some bordering/nearby areas/countries may also find a mention.

For a detailed overview of the complete month of July 2026, about the kind of events that are likely to happen on particular dates, and the specific countries and regions of the world, in general, that need extra attention, see my July 2026 “global horoscope.”

(3) There may be a strong earthquake or other major malefic incidents in Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands-Anguilla area. Ecuador-northern Peru area is highly likely to see moderately strong or strong earthquake.

And now below is the next set of predictions, for the Western Hemisphere, limited to the countries/areas mentioned in (1) above. Predictions for the Eastern Hemisphere (i.e., Part I), again limited, were published here, earlier.

Most prediction lines given below are for M5.0+ quakes (magnitude 5.0 and higher). However, there may still be some that remain within the M3.0-M5.0 range.

This post won’t be edited once published. This post is being published on 11 Jul 2026 at UTC 17:16. If any typos are discovered later, they will be left as is. If any more serious errors are discovered or something missing is found later, they would be published in a separate Errata/Addendum post.

Note: Sometimes, earthquake indications on the chart may be rather about other forms of earth disturbances such as volcanic activity, rockfall, avalanche, mudflow, landslide or ground subsidence. They could also be about “non-natural” forms of falls of structures: for example, the collapse of a bridge, an industrial accident in which a big piece of equipment falls down, a plane crash, or a building or mine collapse. Astrologically, they are all one category. So when I say earthquake, the complete category is meant. Please always bear this in mind.

Earthquakes are predicted near the following imaginary lines (within 250 km, but mostly much closer; however, as I am not publishing all the lines, distances may appear larger—see this post). You may extrapolate all lines further at both their ends (especially for accidents and malefic incidents other than quakes). If a high magnitude is predicted for a particular region, then that high magnitude applies to all prediction lines when passing through that region, even if I have not mentioned any magnitude or mentioned a lower magnitude for the other lines. Also, when many lines are close by, it is not necessary that there would be an earthquake for each of those lines; in addition, I may not repeatedly show the same area when several lines are close.

Venezuela-Caribbean area:

- Line between 16°00′N, 64°15′W (west off Guadeloupe) and 10°00′N, 61°40′W (off Palo Seco, Trinidad and Tobago). Notable accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers, sailors and diplomats, communication troubles, notable incidents of violence and aggression, and storms or strong winds also possible near this line.

- Straight line running through 10°00′N, 64°42′W (near Barcelona, Anzoategui, Venezuela). Notable accidents, landslides or collapses of structures, violence, incidents that bring casualties, troubles for labourers/blue collar workers or for the old or poor, troubles for the very wealthy, troubles for politicians, religious people, state ministers and bureaucrats, or strong precipitation also likely near this line.

When extended south, the Bolivian-Argentinean border section looks malefic:

A very strongly malefic section of this line is the Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands-Anguilla section: major earthquake (M6.0+), strong storm and/or notable accidents or violent incidents likely. Travellers, in particular, must be very careful here:

- Line between 11°00′N, 66°56′W (off Caracas, Venezuela) and 8°35′N, 65°54′W (near Espino, Guárico, Venezuela). Notable accidents, landslides or collapses of structures, violence, incidents that bring casualties, troubles for labourers/blue collar workers or for the old or poor, troubles for the very wealthy, troubles for politicians, religious people, state ministers and bureaucrats, or strong precipitation also likely near this line.

Peru-northern Chile area:

- Straight line running through 20°00′S, 69°54′W (near Oficina Primitiva, Huara, Chile). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. Very high rainfall also could occur in parts of the prediction section shown:

When extended south, the Santiago-Mendoza section (Chile-Argentina) looks malefic:

- Straight line running through 3°30′S, 79°00′W (near Tutupali, Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador). This is a highly malefic prediction line: earthquake magnitude may even exceed 5.7. Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. Very high rainfall also could occur in the section shown:

- Straight line running through 32°00′N, 93°56′W (near Stanley, Louisiana, USA). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. The prediction section shown here may also see very heavy rain.

When extended south, the Mexican section of the line can be seen thus:

- Straight line running through 42°00′N, 95°42′W (near Ute, Iowa, USA). Notable accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for travellers/tourists, notable incidents of violence and aggression, and storms or strong winds also possible near this line.

When extended south, the line can be seen passing through Houston-Galveston area of Texas (USA):

Oklahoma-Dallas area (USA) near the line (not shown) may receive high rainfall. When extended south, the line will go through Oaxaca (Mexico) (not shown).

- Straight line running through 39°00′N, 101°25′W (near McAllaster, Kansas, USA). This is a highly malefic line. Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. Incidents bringing troubles to women or the young, troubles for figures or entities from the luxury or fashion industries and for business in general, financial troubles or scandals, and troubles for the wealthy could also occur near this line. Heavy rainfall and storms also likely in some parts of this line, especially in the prediction section shown:

When extended north, the Canada-USA border section of the line appears somewhat malefic:

Additional:

- Straight line running through 39°00′N, 107°12′W (near Marble, Colorado, USA). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line.

Parts of Pacific West:

- Line between 33°00′N, 114°01′W (north of Roll, Arizona, USA) and 25°41′N, 110°01′W (off Las Piedras, Sinaloa, Mexico). Notable accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers, sailors and diplomats, communication troubles, notable incidents of violence and aggression, and storms or strong winds also possible near this line.

- Line between 38°53′N, 118°37′W (near Schurz, Nevada, USA) and 31°30′N, 113°56′W (off Las Lisas, Sonora, Mexico). Notable accidents, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, communication troubles, conflicts and violence, and storms or strong winds also possible near this line.

- Straight line running through 31°30′N, 115°44′W (near El Papalote Mocho, Baja California, Mexico). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. This is a highly malefic line: major accident/fire/violence or M5.5+ quake highly likely near it, especially in the prediction section shown here:

- Line between 40°00′N, 121°21′W (near Tobin, California, USA) and 37°12′N, 119°26′W (near North Fork, California, USA). This is a highly malefic and highly eventful line, especially for incidents affecting a large number of people or those in high positions.

- Line between 35°00′N, 121°24′W (off Pismo Beach, California, USA) and 30°00′N, 118°37′W (north of Isla Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico). Notable accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for travellers, network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), storms or strong winds, and troubles to authorities or those in high positions also possible near this line.

When extended north, the same line can be described thus: between 43°06′N, 126°52′W (off Bandon, Oregon, USA) and 36°47′N, 122°30′W (off Moss Landing, California, USA).

Part I, with predictions for the Eastern Hemisphere, for the period of 13 to 23 July 2026, was published here, earlier.

Note 1: Owing to lack of time, I am unable to look at many areas of the world. It is possible that on some prediction line(s) that I have not chosen, a strong earthquake may take place, but I can only do my best with the time constraints possible. However, wherever a line is given, an earthquake or some other incident that can or does lead to fall of structures is highly likely to happen near it, unless weak probability is already noted. Of course, as stated earlier, if several lines are very close by, it is not necessary that there would be a notable event corresponding to each line: always use common sense!

Note 2: If a big earthquake has happened in a place, aftershocks may continue for days, weeks and even months. I predict the big (usually the first) earthquake, not always the aftershocks (unless they are also seen prominently on the charts, as does happen sometimes, especially when an aftershock is big).
