March 1-7 would be a new moon, whereas we're just about at the first quarter moon. The two times the moon (if we're using the theory that the moon would affect earthquakes) would be at the strongest influence would be during the new and full moons when the moon is in alignment with the sun.
This road has been trod so many times, but hey, if someone wants to recreate it once again, have at it. Earthquake researchers, outside the immediate aftermath of a large earthquake sequence, are some of the most friendly people I've ever come across when it comes to sharing data.
“The March 19 SuperMoon is by far the most significant storm and seismic indicator this month, but it’s not the only one. Lesser geocosmic shock windows also up the ante for unusually strong storms and moderate to severe seismic activity (including magnitude 5+ earthquakes, subsequent tsunami, and volcanic eruptions). These lesser windows include March 1-7 (surrounding the new moon on the 4th), March 23-26 (bracketing the lunar south declination peak on the 25th), and from late on the 31st on into early April.”

I was wondering how the sun spot activity could be a contributing factor. As sun spots can disrupt electronics, etc. could this activity also disrupt the earth’s magnetic field?
