Sun: 3'Gemini
Moon: 23' Scorpio
Full Moon (within 1 day)
As a trained storm spotter, I understand something of the challenges faced by NOAA and the local Emergency Management departments in reacting to such a swift-paced and dangerous storm. As a trained civilian search-and-rescue assistant, I also understand exactly what the communities across Oklahoma are going through right now and I extend my fullest sympathies for the all the great losses they have suffered.
As an astrologer, I have not yet gotten around to drawing a chart for the tornado event at Moore, OK. However, I spotted this on Astro.com and found it to be a thoughtful piece on the effects of the outer planets on personal lives. Often, the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are thought of as being only "generational" in effect due to their distance from Earth and the time it takes for each of them to make even a single revolution around the Sun.

25May2013 Lunar Eclipse and the March Against Monsanto
There will be a penumbral Lunar Eclipse on that day at 04'08"Sagittarius. According to CafeAstrology, the Sabian symbol for that degree is:
"An old owl sits alone on the branch of a large tree."
I don't use the Sabians often, but I find they frequently have chilling accuracy with regards to eclipses, and the effects of an eclipse will reverberate for six months after a lunar or a year after a solar (until the Sun returns to the eclipsed degree and begins a new cycle).
On that day, a worldwide protest is scheduled to protest the use and development of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), which are at this point a large portion of our food supply and are showing devastating links to major health issues, the evolution of "superweeds" and the overuse of pesticides, which is contributing to the sharp crash in the global domesticated bee population (or, as some call it, the Bee-pocalypse) that threatens the global food supply.
Given the conjunction of these two events, and also in respect to the multiplicity of events and times on that day, I will explore the astrology of the march, without tying my interpretation down to any particular location. (The chart is drawn for Greenwich, ENG for convenience and uses the time as given by NASA. Though the Sun and Moon are about a degree off exact in the chart as shown, the difference is negligible and will not affect chart interpretation.)
I will join this March Against Monsanto and support it locally, but I hold out little hope of it actually creating the change that needs to be made. Astrologically, it's just not there. The symbol does not support it - wisdom (owl) goes unheard (alone) by the world (tree), nor does the chart carry the powerful indicators of a sea change. See below the jump:
