Japan earthquake

A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 has struck southern Japan. According to Japan's Meteorological Agency, the 'quake hit at 9.26 pm and was centered in the Mashiki town in the Kumamoto prefecture. The agency said there's no danger of a tsunami and there were no immediate reports of casualties.  April 14 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japan-earthquake-today-tsunami-warning-62-magnitude-a6984186.html

In his monthly essay on the New Moon Solar Eclipse of March 9, Nick Fiorenza added a “Seismic Alert”:

This sustained T-square planetary configuration can create exceptionally strong geophysical and physiological resonances, especially when triggered by lunar aspects.

The solar eclipse not only occurs in the midst of significant planetary aspects, but also occurs very close to the Lunar Perigee, further accentuating geophysical resonances. Due to its occurrence amongst the stars of late Aquarius and its path across the Pacific, it is also aquatic in nature. http://www.lunarplanner.com/LPmembers/LunarMonths2016/lunarmonth.16.03.09.html

At Mashiki, Japan, the eclipse along with its T-square straddled the horizon axis signifying that it was important for the place. Here Saturn, the apex of the T-square was on the descendant.

If we now progress the eclipse chart to April 14, the date of the earthquake notice that two things happen. First, the progressed Ascendant reaches a quincunx to the apex Saturn triggering the eclipse T-square and second, the progressed descendant conjoins Pluto triggering the Uranus-Pluto square which is linked to earthquakes.

But as often happens, there can be more than one planetary cause for an incident like this. We are now just three days away from Mars station retrograde. A chart for this mundane event has Mars at the apex of a T-square with Jupiter-Neptune straddling the meridian at Mashiki, Japan. Neptune on the IC is conjunct kappa Pegasi, in the forefoot of the Flying Horse Pegasus. Poseidon, later adopted into Roman myth as Neptune was known as “Earthshaker”.  Poseidon mated with Medusa - the only mortal gorgon – and she gave birth to their child, the winged horse Pegasus. It was said of Pegasus that  earthquakes took place when he stomped his feet so that Diana Rosenberg links this area with “unusually powerful earthquakes”.
