Bicyclists Killed in Brooklyn

Five Bicyclists were killed on the streets of Brooklyn within a month of each other. 10 cyclist fatalities have occurred this past year alone.

Wow, this Summer, bicycling was for New Yorkers what guns were to Oakland and San Jose (liberal hypocrisy of the area at its finest) and hiking was for visitors to Yosemite.

Just these weird coincidental pockets of fatalities that I'm finding cropping up in the news.

The New Yorkers place "Ghost Bikes" up at locations where bicyclists are killed. Hopefully some proper bike lanes will be set up to protect them in the future.

I suspect that this is all related in some way to the Nodal Axis transit of the signs which rule hiking and local transportation, Gemini. At this point the South Node is in Gemini. That's the end of the Nodal Axis which represents some sort of fault in the Destiny which throws off the good things that are offered by the opposite end (which would be issues ruled by Sagittarius). Things that don't work in the local environment (Gemini) will cause problems in the big environment (Sagittarius) (International).

Here's a list of the recent fatalities from the information I could find. Can't vouch for accuracy of the information.

Aug. 1, Monday. 29-year old Robert Doyle killed.

Aug. 2, night, 70-year old Andrezei Wisnuk killed.

Aug. 18, before 5:40 pm, 52-year old Jeffrey Axelrod killed

Aug. 30, 7:00 pm 29-year old Erica Abbott killed.

Sep. 2, (Friday), 8:30 pm, 24-year old Nicolus Djandj killed.

Oct 18, night, Matthieu Lefevre killed, 30-years old, born Mars 1981.

Since 3 of these people were 29-30 it seems that perhaps Saturn in Libra is connected with bicycling. That is the age associated with the first Saturn Return. I sort of suspect that Libra isn't the greatest sign for drivers. You don't want to have a relationship with everything on the road. I think they might feel less safe around all that Mars-Mercury driving type stuff because they know what can happen and subsequently it does happen. Saturn is related to one's issues of safety and caution. Interesting that the last 3 mentioned were all artists, as well. Libra is very much associated with artists who seek balance and harmony.

Kind of interesting to note that most of the deaths occurred after work hours. Venus has been in conjunction with the Ascendant pretty much consistently during these months around that time. And Saturn is dispositing to Venus because of its transit in Libra. Venus also rules the 3d House of transportation for much of that time. I'm getting carried away with the Venus stuff here. But, for some reason it is standing out. Accidents are ruled by Mars and Uranus together. Mercury rules local transportation, daily routes, that type of thing.

Saturn was mostly in the 2d house. I don't know what that means except that it is opposite the 8th House of Death. Saturn is related to brakes, safety precautions, exhaustion.

Uranus (Accidents, unexpected, shock) in the 8th House (Death).

I went back to the Total Lunar Eclipse that occurred on June 15 the way I did while looking at the deaths in Yosemite over the Summer. The chart is pretty interesting when set for New York.

In New York this Eclipse had a 5 Scorpio Rising chart. That means that Pluto was Ruler of the chart. And Pluto was conjunct the 3d House cusp in a tight one degree orb. This Eclipse contains the last pass of the big Saturn-Uranus-Pluto t-square which means that the victims who were going through their Saturn Returns were also under the influence of this challenging aspect. Pluto was apex of that t-square so is a very strong figure in that chart. This shows, in hindsight of course, that some larger than life crises related to local neighborhoods, transportation, roads, neighbors, siblings was related to New York.

Rest in Peace.

Fog causes 100 Car Pile-Up in Fresno

Fresno, CA gets these awful Tule Fogs which are known to cause traffic accidents and there was a huge one today. Massive 100 Car pile up on Highway 99.

What rules Fog? Neptune? Moon? Geez, probably my whole chart.

I had to look at the Event Chart for this accident just to make sure both of these planets were angular. Yup. Neptune c. IC and Moon in H10 c. Saturn/SN.

They say the mess started around 7:45 am (Nov. 3, 2007, Fresno, CA). With a visibility of around 2 feet in front of you it's anybody's guess how long cars were crashing into each other. This gives a Scorpio Ascendant with the Sun conjunct and just rising from the 12th House. The Sun is in a Grand Trine with Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Pisces. That's a good indicator for an accident especially with the Sun contacting the Ascendant like this. With Pluto ruling the chart the accident would be Massive.

Neptune is at 20 Aquarius conjunct the 22 Aquarius IC. The Moon was in Virgo in the 10th House conjunct Saturn and the South Node.

Ruler of the Chart is Pluto (H2) (Mass Destruction) which was trining the Moon.

There were two fatalities here, one a 6 year old boy and the other a 28-year old Man. Mars in Cancer hooks in the little boy. He would have also maybe been going through his Jupiter opposition in Gemini (traffic). I wonder if the death of the 28-year old Man would be somehow connected with his Progressed Lunar Return as the Moon was conjunct the South Node and Saturn. On the East Coast a 28-year old Runner died tragically at around the same time (ET) while trying out for a Marathon in New York City. Someday maybe we'll have a huge astrology database that will give us all these charts to compare.
