I drew the chart up for 12.51.43 m - time the Earthquake hit from the USA Govt, site for Quakes, shows, time, co-ords etc.

I took Lyllelton as the place as the quake hit closer in this part of the region.

The Moon's Nodes (Mean) have moved into Sag/Gemini and are at 29/33R.
Uranus is the focal point of a T Square coming from the Nodes, karma, fate etc. These squares are the only aspects Uranus makes.

Uranus 'at the bendings' is in a critical and/or dangerous position - re J.Lee J. Leehman's Classical Astrology for Modern Living. Chaos prevailed as the people were tossed around at the Mercy of Mother Nature.

While Venus - money - is placed @ 20/27 Cap. in 9th House makes no aspects beyond a square to Saturn @ 16/36R Libra.Venus rules this Libra Moon and is in mutual reception with Saturn- Saturn rules the M/C.

Help, assistance and money come from overseas countries in an attempt to clear away the massive pile of rubble the Earthquake created as Pluto reduced Christchurh to dust. The garden city lies in ruins and for the people shock and chaos still prevail.

The Pisces Sun along with Libra Moon have multiple aspects as the Earth opens up under the pressure and pulls the families, friends and city apart.

Mars and Neptune opposed the 29 Leo Super Moon from 10th to 4th.

Human toll is still being determined - the sudden loss of life is beyond comprehension for inhabitants of this garden city.
