Yes you can - there is a correlation between major earthquakes and new/full moon, because it raises tides in the earths crust (about 2cm) that increase stress levels in the rock. Maximum tide (and max stress) occur on the same dates we have king tides in the sea.
Good reason to live in a wooden house, if you're in NZ - and have a very strong dining table to hide under.
