Planet Earth's Position in Solar System Affects Strong and Rare Earthquake Events: Indonesia Case Studies

Indonesia is one of the countries in the world experiencing a number of devastating and rare earthquake events. Ranging from the Aceh and Palu quakes to the current rare Bekasi quakes in August 2025. In this article we present the data and statistics that demonstrate an obvious relationship between the occurrence of planetary conjunctions and strong and rare earthquake events. A comprehensive study for particular Indonesia has not been done in recent decades. Here, we elaborate on how planetary conjunctions are associated with major earthquakes ranging from 6.3 to 9.3. The results confirm that if the earth is joining with the alignment, then there is a possibility of a strong earthquake (> 7), as can be seen in the Aceh earthquakes. If the planet parallelism is present, then there is a possibility of a strong earthquake, as can be seen in the Palu earthquakes. Those planetary conjunctions are also associated with the presence of a series of moderate and rare earthquakes in Bekasi recently. The planetary conjunctions then can be monitored in advance then allow us to estimate and to prepare, anticipating the devastating earthquakes.
