This Guy Summed Up How Japan/Fukushima Probably Felt Like for All of Us

It felt like this event/disaster was personal on some level, not in the way that I am taking it personally, but the energy around it has really impacted me, because we have been dealing with Uranus/Mars energy in the Uranus/Aries shift. So it occurred to me that everyone’s Mars is affected, not just Mars in Aries. The nature of Mars, in whatever sign just got much more intense. For me personally, it taps into the cauldron of my eighth house where it resides. I am doing my best to cool my rods. I’ve already singed a few friends and luckily they’re friends. The challenge is to channel the energies of this square without going all Fukushima.

And I have been working on "cooling my rods" as well.  Things are just coming back into focus after a detour.  Spiritual practice aids us all in returning to balance.
