The June 21st quake though was quite violent and by comparing the charts one can easily see the difference.
The solstice earthquake has a preponderance of earth signs all centered on an angle. It is a bundle (ignore Pluto when it is an outlier like here). The twelfth house has a busy stellium and overall, all the planets are quite concentrated.
