California's Run Out of Firemen - Saturn in Virgo

California the Virgo is getting her first taste of Saturn in Virgo as it approaches her Sun. Weeks of raging fires that are supposed to come from lightening that nobody sees have led to a completely exhausted crew of Firemen.

Headlines from the San Jose Mercury News yesterday sure do have Saturn in Virgo written all over them:

"Not Enough Crews to Fight Fires."

Saturn brings a constriction or lack or loss. Also exhaustion. Virgo represents the Service Jobs, like Policing and Fire Fighting. Members from the National Guard are going through quickie training to help out and I even heard that firefighters from Australia and New Zealand are coming over to help out. California has a Virgo Sun so seems to be feeling the approach of Saturn already. All my Astro charts are unavailable currently.

Here's a bit from the article. Somebody was calling these guys crybabies and whiners???? John McCain's financial advisor just called the country a bunch of whiners. That's nuts considering how many small time investors are once again losing their savings. That sounds more like Capricorn talk.:

Field experts scattered throughout the state sound similar concerns, suggesting the entire system is overwhelmed. Reports say fires are "minimally staffed," and injuries are "directly related to heat illness and fatigue."

"These professionals are not prone to excuse-making. They don't want to be seen as crybabies," said retired fire Capt. Mike Morales, who has been tracking the response on his Fresno-based blog firefighter blog.blogspot.com. "But there are too many fires and not enough resources."

(Article on Chapparal landscape like California's and the Fire/Flood Cycles that develop as a result. I'd like to look at this later, hopefully.: http://www.coastal.ca.gov/fire/ucsbfire.html)

Last time Saturn was in Virgo was around 1978-1980. All I remember from that time was that I couldn't learn to do the Hustle. Actually that was while Saturn was still in Leo. Saturn in Virgo wasn't nice. I do know that was the era when the fundings for the public schools were cut.
