Earthquake & Incident Watch: 28 June-9 July 2026 (Part I: Japan)

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 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 has to travel even though weather or earthquake prognostics aren’t great; higher charges).

Other points to remember:

(1) Late June till July 18, 2026, is overall a period of strong earthquakes, high violence and strong accident activity in the world. July 2-7, in particular, may see major accidents, strong violence and some damaging or very strong earthquakes.

(2) For a detailed overview of the complete months of June 2026 and 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 June 2026 and July 2026 “global horoscope” posts.

(3) Magnitude 7.0+ quake is highly likely in Japan or off the eastern coast of Japan during June 28-July 9 period. I expect it to cross magnitude 7.3, and even a megaquake (M8.0) cannot be ruled out.

And now below is the next set of predictions, for the Japan area. Predictions for some other areas of the Eastern Hemisphere (i.e., Part II) and some areas of the Western Hemisphere (i.e., Part III) are planned to be published soon.

Most prediction lines given below are for M5.0+ quakes (magnitude 5.0 and higher), and quite a few, in fact, are for M6.0+ quakes. However, there may still be some that remain within the M4.0-M4.9 range.

This post won’t be edited once published. This post is being published on 26 Jun 2026 at UTC 21:55. 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 (always exercise common sense); in addition, I may not repeatedly show the same area when several lines are close.

- Straight line running through 34°00′N, 144°24′E (east off Japan). Major accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers, sailors and diplomats, network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), storms or strong winds, and troubles to authorities or those in high positions also possible near this line. This is a highly malefic line, and the prediction section shown here even more so. M6.5+ quake is highly likely near this line in this prediction section, and the quake magnitude could even cross 7.2:

When extended a bit south, the line passes close by the Bonin Islands-Volcano Islands area of Japan, and this area continues to look strongly malefic, with M6.0+ earthquake highly likely in this section:

When extended more south, the line passes very close to Mariana Islands-Guam, and this area could also see an M4.5+ earthquake:

Further south, the line will cross Papua New Guinea:

When extended north, the line will pass close to the area of the recent M6.9 earthquake off Iwate Prefecture of Japan and thereafter through Hokkaido; thus aftershocks, including some strong ones, are highly likely to continue in the area:

- Straight line running through 41°00′N, 141°27′E (off Rokkasho, Aomori, Japan). This is again a very highly malefic line, with M6.0+ earthquake likely near this line. Notable accidents or notable incidents such as fire/explosions, aggression, conflicts, violence, or storms, troubles for those in high positions or for those in the domain of religion or law, or other notable malefic incidents, also likely near the line.

When extended south, the line passes off Chiba Prefecture of Japan, and this section looks even more malefic:

- Line between 40°00′N, 141°15′E (near Iwate, Japan) and 36°00′N, 142°21′E (off Kashima, Ibaraki, Japan). Again, a highly malefic line, with M6.0+ earthquake likely near it. Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line.

- Straight line running through 34°06′N, 135°32′E (near Aridagawa, Wakayama, Japan). Notable accidents, incidents of violence, troubles for the destitute or prostitutes, low temperatures, storms, troubles for waste processing or storage facilities, conflicts to gain power, criminal incidents, troubles for criminal networks, and troubles for those in position of power also likely in some sections of this line.

Parts II and III, with predictions for some other areas of the Eastern Hemisphere and for the Western Hemisphere, respectively, for the period of 28 June to 9 July 2026, will be published soon.

Note 1: Owing to lack of time, I am unable to look at every single prediction line in detail. I am publishing only those which look more prominent to me. It is possible that on some prediction line(s) that I have not chosen, a strong enough 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.

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).
