Here is a small study of Epicenter hypothesis which says
Major quakes (6+) will occur at a location ...
1) At Zenith/Nadir of Moon /Sun ..with + or - 20 degree longitude margin
or
2) At a location where the Moon/Sun are either rising/setting ,with
twilight zone margin .
85% of all major quakes follow this hypothesis.
10% follow strong /closer Jupiter (Zenith/Nadir)
5% follow all other planets especially closer Venus, Mars and Saturn
The basis of this hypothesis is like this...
Earthquakes occurs due to tidal pull on molten magna and Earth crust.When pull exceeds threshold limit the high tide pressure inside partially breaks the crust and hence a quake.
Tidal pull are maximum at Zenith (overhead) and Nadir ( 180 degree apart on opposite side of globe) .Hence ,zenith and Nadir location of Moon and Sun are prone. On full Moon and New Moon, both coincides hence greater chance of quake.
Now upper crust is pulled apart from Zenith/Nadir of Sun/Moon.At plate boundaries this low tide pull ,split the boundaries and hence quakes at Rising/Setting locations
