A Quick Look at the Japanese Earthquake

I ran a chart for the exact location of the epicenter of the earthquake, which was out at sea at: 38*N32', 142*E36'. As I mentioned in my weekly blog Uranus was ingressing into Aries to the day and was in the last critical degree in Pisces at 29*58': a lesson learned from the sea. Uranus is the main astrological marker for not only natural disasters (quickly developing large surprising events), but in particular earthquakes, especially when it works in concert with other energies. In this case that is the Moon, which is closest to the earth as it will be all this year, peaking in opposition on the upcoming Full Moon on Friday to the exact same degree that Uranus was in during the earthquake! In addition to that, the thing that really jumped out at me was Uranus tight applying squares with the Nodal Axis with the 3 of them in angular houses and cardinal signs: a crisis from quickly developing multiple situations that is quite karmic in nature. Uranus is in a water sign in the 4th house of land conjunct the Trickster, Mercury and the I/C: a land based disaster from the sea that is very rapid and dangerous. South Node in Gemini shows Japan, notoriously withdrawn, will need to rely on its allies and relations with other nations to help it out this time. North Node in 1st house in Sagittarius shows it is has been cast into places it has not gone before by the astrological winds that will completely change the nation forever.

Of course, Pluto is involved too with the nuclear disasters: and they occurred after Uranus ingressed into Aries and lit a fire under them and went back into a cardinal square with Pluto creating another crisis! Pluto has brought to the surface something that was only waiting to come up: the potential for a nuclear plant disaster due to an out of control situation. This is what many nuclear opponenets have feared the most. Mercury squaring Pluto is the obsession this is now creating on the world stage and all the darkness and consequences of it: it may be saying - "careful what you ask for."
