Epicenter in Illinois

The Midwest had a Big Un. Well, Big for them. 5.2 Earthquake this morning centered 6 miles outside of a town called West Salem in Illinois.

Uranus is conjunct the Pisces Ascendant. So this really brings out the Uranus-Neptune mutual reception as Neptune right now is conjunct the North Node in Aquarius (H12).

The Angles are loaded in conformity with what we expect for an earthquake, but interestingly the 4th House is empty. Sun in Aries conjunct Mercury in Taurus. This is connected to an Earth Grand Trine with Pluto in the 10th House (angle) and Saturn in Virgo in the 6th House.

In California we tend to have our earthquakes at commute time. So rude to have one so early in the morning. Guess all those Mid-Westerners were already up and out milking the cows, though.

Hope nobody was hurt, just some broken bottles of gin lying strewn on the floor of a liquor store. Just when you need a drink the most...
