There's a graph somewhere that shows the moon phase (days) on the x axis va earthquakes by magnitude (y axis). It's not linear and does show a correlation for new and full moon.
To the extent that of travelling to Japan, NZ or west coast USA I'd avoid these dates if possible. As for the solar eclipse next year ... yep it's a possible date for the Cascadia or San Andreas faults to slip. And both are overdue.
