Explosion at Connecticut Power Plant

A power plant that was currently under construction in Middletown, CT exploded on Sunday killing 5 people and injuring 12. I send my condolences to the families, friends and employees of those who were lost or injured.

The employees were, as I understand, purging the gas lines a procedure which is said to be very dangerous. The Power Plant hadn't been opened yet.

The Chart shows Mars in Fire Sign Leo conjunct the IC, or bottom of the chart. Mars is prominent in this chart because he is conjunct the angle with very tight orb, is in Retrograde Motion, and is Lead Planet of the Locomotive Chart Shape. Mars represents triggers, ignitions, sparks. A Quote from today's Wall St. Journal article "Blast Probe looks at Gas-Line Clearing" says that ignition for the explosion could come from something as simple as a light switch. Mars here is in inconjunct aspect to an exact conjunction of Neptune to Chiron. Neptune rules Natural Gas. Neptune and Chiron are also placed on an angle in the 10th House. The involvement with the inconjunct shows literally a need for "adjustment." Chiron shows a flaw. The conjunction in Aquarius shows influence related to electricity, circuitry, sudden shocking events. This Mars-Neptune, etc. inconjunct is involved in two different Yods. Mars is apex to a Yod of the Neptune-Pluto sextile. Neptune is apex to a Yod of the Mars-Saturn sextile.

Today's Wall St. Times article quotes rep. Rosa De Lauro (D, Conn.) as saying that there seem to be similarities with an explosion which happened in June in North Carolina in a ConAgra food processing plant for "Slim Jims." I don't have a lot of time right now so I'll list some similarities for the two charts.

Neptune conjunct Chiron in Aquarius, 26-27 degrees
Sun in H10, in Air Signs (on same degrees)
Moon out-of-bounds
Mars in Fixed Signs: Mars 7 Taurus in June, Mars 7 Leo Rx in February
Uranus in H8 (Death) of Slim Jim explosion. Pluto in H8 of CT explosion
I can't find any indicators to show that this would be a workplace disaster in the CT Power Plant chart.

ASC for both charts at ends of Fixed Signs (30 Taurus, CT and 29 Leo, NC) showing stressful square aspect from Neptune-Chiron at end of Aquarius. The Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius conjunction over the past 1/2 year has certainly done an amazing job of showing us where the infrastructure is weakest.
