I've just had a look at part of my own dataset again - using only the data from 1st Jan 1968 to 1st Jan 1978 and noticed an extraordinary number of quakes with the Sun in the (western/tropical) astrological sign of Leo. The quakes in that sign between magnitudes 5.0 and 6.0 give a p-score of 0.0003.
No allowance was made for the slight difference in size of the zodiac signs - which vary by a few percent. It wasn't necessary for a quick search like this because the ratio was 171% of the mean score.
