Earthquake & Incident Watch: 21 July-1 August 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 a few areas of the world. I have only looked at the Pacific West of North America (but not further west of Anchorage), parts of Mexico, and Colombia area in the Western Hemisphere, as I am very hard pressed for time. Of course, sometimes some bordering or nearby 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) California is likely to see an M6.0+ quake, major accident and/or death of a notable wealthy personality or major artist/actor during this period. Aftershocks, including M5.0+ ones, are highly likely to continue south off Chiapas-Guatemala border area.

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

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 19 Jul 2026 at UTC 22:25. 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. However, the concentration of many lines in an area could indicate that that area may see strongly malefic incidents.

Additional:

- Straight line running through 2°00′S, 52°21′W (near Arimum - Porto de Moz, Pará, Brazil). This is a highly malefic line. Notable accidents, incidents of violence, troubles for the destitute, low temperatures, storms, troubles for waste processing or storage facilities, conflicts to gain power, notable criminal incidents, troubles for criminal networks, troubles for those in positions of power, and troubles for scientists, scholars, religious leaders and communities also likely in some sections of this line.

- Line between 6°00′S, 87°07′W (off La Mina, Piura, Peru) and 14°11′S, 83°34′W (far west off Salinas de Otuma, Ica, Peru). Notable accidents, landslides or collapses of structures, violence, incidents that bring casualties, incidents of fire/explosions, 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 or storms also likely near this line.

- Straight line running through 50°00′N, 101°37′W (near Fleming, Saskatchewan, Canada). Notable accidents, incidents of drowning, incidents of shooting, terrorism or violence in general, troubles for the young, copious precipitation, and notable instances of deception or fraud also could occur near this line.

Colombia area:

- Straight line running through 11°00′N, 73°27′W (near Dibulla, La Guajira, Colombia). This is a highly malefic line. Notable accidents, incidents of violence, troubles for the destitute, low temperatures, storms, troubles for waste processing or storage facilities, conflicts to gain power, notable criminal incidents, troubles for criminal networks, troubles for those in positions of power, and troubles for scientists, scholars, religious leaders and communities also likely in some sections of this line.

When extended south, the line can be seen passing through the Los Lagos Region of Chile:

When extended north, the Montreal-New York-Connecticut section (Canada-USA) of the line appears malefic:

Parts of Mexico:

- Straight line running through 11°30′N, 92°03′W (south off Champerico, Retalhuleu Department, Guatemala). 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. The prediction section shown, which contains the area south off Tapachula (Chiapas, Mexico), which recently saw an M7.0+ quake, looks particularly malefic for M5.0+ quakes, notable accidents, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, communication troubles, conflicts, and storms or strong winds:

- Straight line running through 18°00′N, 96°22′W (near Pochota, Oaxaca, Mexico). Take a 280 km range on the west of this line instead of the usual 250 km. Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line.

- Straight line running through 38°00′N, 106°27′W (north of Hanna, Colorado, USA). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. The prediction section shown looks particularly malefic for notable accidents, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, communication troubles, conflicts, and strong winds:

- Line between 35°36′N, 107°40′W (near Whitehorse, New Mexico, USA) and 24°30′N, 101°14′W (near Morelos, Zacatecas, Mexico). Take a 265 km range on the east of this line instead of the usual 250 km. This is a highly malefic line. Notable accidents, landslides or collapses of structures, strong violence, major incidents of fires or explosions, 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 or storms also likely near this line. The Zacatecas wider area may see strong rains as well.

When extended south, the line goes right through the Mexican capital, Mexico City (not shown).

Parts of Pacific West:

- Straight line running through 35°00′N, 119°09′W (near Lakeview, California, USA). Take a 270 km range on the east of this line instead of the usual 250 km. This is a highly malefic line, and earthquake magnitude near the line may even cross 6.0. Notable accidents, landslides or collapses of structures, strong violence, major incidents of fires or explosions, 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 or storms also likely near this line.

- Straight line running through 38°00′N, 121°22′W (near Stockton, California, USA). Noteworthy accidents, strong rains 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, troubles for or death of notable artists and troubles for or death of notable wealthy persons could also occur near this line.

- Straight line running through 50°17′N, 128°51′W (off Winter Harbour, British Columbia, Canada). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line.

When extended south, the area off Oregon-Washington (USA) (not shown) shows the likelihood of very heavy rains or storms, besides quakes.

- Line between 60°00′N, 149°19′W (off Thumb Cove State Marine Park, Seward, Alaska, USA) and 52°00′N, 134°26′W (off Anthony Island, British Columbia, Canada). Notable accidents, incidents of drowning, incidents of shooting, terrorism or violence in general, troubles for the young, copious precipitation and notable instances of deception or fraud also could occur near this line.

Predictions for parts of the Eastern Hemisphere, for the period of 20 July to 31 July/1 August 2026, were published here and 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).
