According to Hoogerbeets " On August 20, the Moon will face Mercury directly at 10: 16 minutes and Jupiter at 11:58 pm GMT. This is the opposite of the alignment of the Earth - Mercury - Saturn, while Mercury is also aligned with Venus and Neptune at 21:50 . "
The Dutch scientist said that during the period from 22 to 25 August, the Earth will suffer an earthquake of magnitude 6 or 7 Richter scale.
Besides, Hoogerbeets predicts, from August 22-25, an earthquake with magnitude of up to 9 Richter levels can occur by the alignment of the planets.
" The alignment of the planets can increase severe seismic activity during this period. If this alignment has not yet occurred, the Earth will align with Venus and Jupiter. at 23.23 minutes on August 27 while Mercury is very close to these planets , "Hoogerbeets describes.
Hoogerbeets stressed that intense earthquakes will occur between August 27-28 when Mercury is aligned with Venus and Jupiter, while Saturn is almost aligned with the Sun. and Mars.
" At this time, the Earth will suffer a strong earthquake with magnitudes greater than 8 Richter. Two more serious earthquakes will occur on August 29, while an earthquake with magnitude similarity also caused the Earth to shake the next day . " Hoogerbeets forecast.
Hoogerbeets also said that seismic battles will not stop until September 4. He also called on geologists to study his findings to plan for dealing with earthquakes and to minimize damage.
