Longitude Connecting 2010 Disasters in North America?

Canada O Canada ...

Oh No, Not Canada?!!!

Canada had an Earthquake today! They're saying it was a 5.5'er but the USGS site right now is saying it is a 5.0'er. The Canadians don't have to worry. It wasn't all that big and they have universal health care coverage if someone falls in a crack. I've heard that they don't even really worry about having Diabetes up there. So this is a weird one. Uranus is at 1 Aries conjunct Jupiter and the Descendant. They are opposing Saturn 29 Virgo and ASC 6 Libra. They are squaring Sun-Mercury-MC-SN opposing IC-Pluto-NN. Uranus isn't ruling any angles but Canada doesn't usually have earthquakes so why should they follow one of my best rules?

I'll look at the Canada chart later because it fits in with my observation that Earthquakes like it Cardinal Signy. The Sun is starting to wake up which I really didn't want to happen until the end of the year. We are just past the Solstice by 2 days and the Eclipses are now within earshot and Pluto and the North Node are in conjunction in Capricorn and there's this Grand Square in the sky and it was right on the angles in today's weird Earthquake. If you don't have any Capricorn friends you had better hang out at the REI and go find some real quick.

Right now I'm remembering a really amazing connection that either Richard Nolle predicted, or somebody else did, but either way it was on the Astrodienst forum after the Chile Earthquake struck earlier this year. Somebody noticed that the Chile Earthquake had the same Longitude as the Haiti Earthquake. So, this Canadian earthquake is farther North and about 3 degrees West of the Longitude of the Southern Earthquakes.

The Horizon Deepwater Oil Spill is now emptying out all kinds of Neptunian Oil into the Neptunian Ocean. Out of curiosity I checked that chart as well because it looks like it might be part of the line. That Longitude is 16 degrees West of Chile's and Haiti's epicenters (hope I've got that information correct).

I just looked at the USGS Map that posts recent earthquakes and there's activity along all the faultlines all over the world right now. It should be a lot worse in July, but maybe we'll get lucky.

Engineering Disasters and the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction

The movie Chinatown is about the guy who created what is known as "the worst US civil engineering disaster of the 20th century." I've been told a zillion times to see that movie but never have. Basically, Los Angeles wouldn't be able to exist if it hadn't been for William Mulholland, a self trained engineer who immigrated from Belfast Ireland in the late 19th Century. Mulholland diverted all kinds of rivers from the Central Inland California region and pretty much drained the Central Valley of its lush, fertile land in order to create Los Angeles. (And then the Klan moved in.)

I guess there weren't any manuals on how to build a damn back in those days. You just sat by the riverbed and watched the beavers do it and then tried to do it yourself. It looks like we might be better off letting the beavers do it, whatever the case, even now. The Chinese have built huge dams and have had successive huge earthquakes since which may or may not be related. And Orange County is drinking its own pee. And San Diego's water has tested as the worst in the country (or close to, I don't have the stats in front of me).

Anyway, Mulholland was a genius until he screwed up. On Mar. 12, 1928 just hours after he had personally inspected it the St. Francis Dam gave way and flooded Ventura all the way from the Mountains down to the ocean. A town called Santa Paula was completely washed away. There were more than 400 deaths. Mulholland's career ended and he spent the rest of his Sun in Virgo life self-flagellating. Supposedly, the problem was not entirely his fault. They just didn't know how to build dams.

Story sound like today? Of course it does. The BP Oil Disaster down in the Gulf of Mexico shares some amazing similarities with the St. Francis Damn Disaster astro-wise. Different Century. Same extreme level of catastrophe. Striking similarities to outer planet activity.

Don't mean to be flip about what a horror this is (I've bit a huge hole in my cheek watching the birds covered in the oil and the people breathing fumes and finally had to turn off CNN and go for a walk) but just hope this will be readable so am trying to make brief:

Check out the Outer Planet astrology placements. Did any astrologers manage to predict this I wonder?:

*Jupiter conjunct Uranus around the Aries Point. 2010 Disaster has Jupiter 22 Pisces conjunct Uranus 29 Pisces opposing Saturn 30 Virgo.
1928 Disaster has Jupiter 11 Aries conjunct Uranus 3 Aries. Uranus squares Pluto.

*Jupiter rules both event charts. That means Sadge Rising.

*The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is in the 4th House of both Disasters.

*Pluto almost opposing itself in Cardinal Signs relating to building. 2010 Disaster Pluto 6 Capricorn. 1928 Pluto 16 Cancer.

*Neptune opposing itself in Fixed Signs within a degree. 2010 Disaster Neptune 29 Aquarius. 1928 Disaster 28 Leo.


St. Francis Dam Disaster
Mar. 12, 1928 11:57 pm Santa Clarita, Santa Paula, CA

Sun 23 Pisces; Moon 9 Sagittarius; ASC 8 Sagittarius; MC 21 Virgo; NN 14 Gemini


I've studied this chart before but never published anything. It's really fascinating to connect the State of California's Sun in Virgo opposition to Neptune with with Mulholland's Sun in Virgo opposite Neptune in Pisces.

California has a singleton Neptune in Pisces which is why the water wars are such a big deal here (along with the fact that most of the state is desert, duh). Mulholland's chart was completely hooked into the California water supply. Too bad about his catastrophe prone Pluto conjunct NN 5-7 Taurus and squaring Mars 7 Leo. That gives the kind of superhuman will to get things going, but can overdo a bit.

BP Gulf Oil Rig Disaster
Apr. 20, 2010 10:00 pm Gulf of Mexico

Sun 1 Taurus; Moon 23 Cancer; ASC 4 Sagittarius; MC 13 Virgo; NN 16 Capricorn


So, the BP guy is under intense scrutiny. Kind of funny how both men are Brits who screw up trying to corral the big American Expanse. You know, my Father used to buy used Jaguar XJ6's and we used to have to always put up with them breaking down whenever we went to family events. English engineering sucks as far as I'm concerned. God love the Brits but they simply can't get their whirligigs to spin. We really need to leave the engineering miracles to the Germans and the Japanese. Maybe their Math skills sucks. Maybe they're doing it on purpose. But don't let them build anymore Damns or Oil Rigs. Something's wrong with their Mercuries and Uranii and Saturns.

Tony Hayward, BP CEO
b. May 21, 1957 Eton, Berkshire, England

Sun 1 Gemini; Moon Aquarius or Pisces; NN 20 Scorpio Rx

I don't know what the Hell Tony did wrong. Maybe that's because he's a Gemini and that's my Rising Sign and I feel partly responsible through my guilt tripping Cap Moon. Mostly it's because I don't see "Big Stupid Corporate Animal" indicators in his chart. It's interesting to notice that both Mulholland and Hayward have Nodal Axes on the Taurus-Scorpio pole. Komilla Sutton isn't kidding when she says that these guys have extra rows to hoe in life.

And what I said about the Germans being good at engineering? Scratch that. Tony came on board back in 2007. He didn't install the rig. He probably didn't even know it was out there. The Oil Rig was already set in place down in the Gulf back in 2001. Remember it was when the Saturn-Pluto opposition was going ape face. At that point a German born guy named John Browne had been running BP for centuries. This guy's got the ugly chart we're looking for too. Not because he's bad. He's obviously good. He was on the forefront of trying to turn BP into a Green company. But his chart, eh, it looks guilty. Browne has a Jupiter-Uranus opposition in Gemini-Sagittarius. That shows the environmentally friendliness and engineering stuff. But this opposition would have been hit by the Saturn-Pluto opposition of 2001.

Browne's got natal Sun conjunct Mercury RX at 1 Pisces opposing Mars 27 Leo Rx. He's also got the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Leo that was going on during his birth year in earlier degrees of Leo. Because of Mars' Rx it has been in conjunction with Saturn and Pluto for all of his life. That's a difficult aspect for Karma coming back to bite you in the ass. Others born around that time are Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, and Barbara Bush. All these great people who are somehow connected with other people's problems and power plays in ways that are mind-boggling.

I don't have anything intelligent to say about what has happened in the Gulf. I just hope that people in charge of doing big projects like this try to put a little extra attention into putting in security cautions at this point. We still have the Eclipses and the Pluto-NN conjunction coming up over the rest of the year.

Oil Rig Disasters: Santa Barbara 1969 and Gulf of Mexico 2010

I grew up in the 60s a Southern California Beach town when it was sort of considered normal to find dead seagulls lying on the beach covered in oil. We'd have to use paint thinner to take the tar off the bottoms of our feet when we got home from the beach. It didn't happen every day. We thought of tar and oil as sort of a weather system, like a red tide or something.

Adults would tell us stories about all the sea life that had existed. They said it had all been fished out. The Abalone. The Barracuda. I wonder if all the creatures had actually been killed by the oil rigs that were up on the coast in Santa Barbara. Maybe there were some farther down the coast. I think they definitely must have been leaking because I know the tar was always on our feet even before the big Blow Out in Santa Barbara in 1969.

Boy, that transit of Pluto through Virgo was important to help us all figure out how bad things were getting. California has been fighting the oil drilling ever since.

In 1969 there was a significant Oil Spill off a rig on the coast line of Santa Barbara so I thought I'd look at the chart for that accident and compare it with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Multa Mega Catastrophe that's going on down in the Gulf.

Right after this particular spill started the experts I saw interviewed on TV were saying that the spill wouldn't be capped off until August. They knew this immediately. But, the media keeps reporting on multiple failed attempts to cap the thing off. It's 6 miles down under the water and can only be reached by robots. More Saturn-Uranus-Pluto robots imagery.

Santa Barbara Unocal Oil Spill
Jan. 28, 1969 6 miles offshore Santa Barbara

Sun 9 Aquarius; Moon Gemini; NN 4 Aries

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in Gulf of Mexico
Apr. 20, 2010 10:00 pm explosion

Sun 1 Taurus; Moon 23 Cancer; ASC about 4 Sagittarius; MC 13 Virgo; NN 16 Capricorn

The most significant factors I can see right off the bat are that both charts have Mercury Retrograde, Neptune (ruler of Oil) at same 29 degree of Fixed Signs (Resources). And both charts have a conjunction of Jupiter to Uranus which is involved in large opposition aspects with other planets and points over the cusp axis between Virgo/Libra and Pisces/Aries.

Jupiter and Uranus have a conjunction roughly every 13 years or so probably. I'm guesstimating on that figure.

It sort of looks like Mother Nature likes to put man in his place when these big oppositions hit the Aries Point Axis. Either way, the Deepwater Horizon spill is now considered the worst oil spill in U.S. History and seems to be getting worse every day.

It's pretty easy to interpret Jupiter and Uranus working together as creating a "Blow Out". Jupiter can expand uncontrollably and Uranus acts in unexpected and quick ways. Saturn-Uranus-Pluto working in a t-square together shows that weaknesses in infrastructures will break or fall apart.

The conjunction for the Santa Barbara spill was at 4-6 Libra with Uranus conjunct the South Node to the degree at 4 Libra. Venus is conjunct Chiron (25 and 30 degrees Pisces) and the North Node at 4 Aries. Pluto was not far away from these two back at 25 Virgo opposing Venus at 26 Pisces.

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction for Deepwater Horizon disaster is at Pisces at 22-29 degrees and opposing Saturn 30 Virgo. The conjunction is placed in the 4th House which rules the ocean. This gives significance to the opposition as it places the opposition on the angles. Pluto is conjunct the 2d House cusp in Capricorn. Kind of interesting that it wasn't quite on an angle and was taking a breather from close aspect to either Saturn or Uranus. In both case Pluto is within about 10 degree orb of conjunction to the Nodal Axis (SN for SB, and NN for Gulf).

Mercury is Retrograde in both charts. In the Santa Barbara Oil Spill Mercury Rx is at 10 Aquarius conjunct the Sun within a degree. It's trining Jupiter-Uranus.

In the Deepwater Horizon blow out Mercury Rx is at 13 Taurus trining Pluto and the NN and squaring Mars Leo. This it appears is one of those situations that shows how trines can let things fall apart.

One would expect Neptune, Pluto and the Moon to be involved more heavily in the charts because the disasters occurred in the Ocean. Neptune rules Oil so one would expect its presence to be strong. Chiron happens to be in Pisces in both charts at either end of the sign. I suppose that this means that in such situations this is a man made disaster?

Neptune in both charts is on the 29th degree of a Fixed Sign. 29 Scorpio for Santa Barbara. 29 Aquarius for Gulf of Mexico. Mars is in Scorpio and Leo respectively so is also placed in Fixed Signs but not within orb of aspect with Neptune.

Spanish Airline Crash

Spanair JK5022 flight crashed yesterday while taking off. The plane was bound for Las Palmas, Canary Islands from Madrid, Spain. News reports aren't out yet at too what caused the crash but the flight had been delayed for take off for more than an hour and half due to mechanical problems with the Air Conditioning. Tragically, of the 166 people on board, only 19 survived. This is because they fell into a river and were spared severe burns.

Spanair Flight JK 5022 Crash
Crashed 8/20/2008 2:45pm, Madrid, Spain

Sun 28 Leo; ASC 23 Scorpio; Moon 13 Aries

Rulership for Aviation is generally said to be related to Uranus/Aquarius. An excerpt from a really interesting book located through Google (Astrology by Doris Chase Doane) shows that Neptune and Mars are equally represented in statistical research in the charts of Aviators. She also states that 3d and 9th Houses are prominent due to their connections with Transportation.

Mars combined with Uranus rules Accidents (Bills). Mars combined with Pluto and probably most other planets rules Crashes. This chart shows this clearly. Mars is at 1 Libra, a prominent Aries point spot. Mars is located up in the 10th House but still very close to the 11th House cups of Aviation. And Mars is squaring the Chart ruler Pluto at 29 Sagittarius (H2). So the potential for anything explosive was indicated but the same aspect comes up in today's chart as well. Yesterday's Aries Moon which disposed to Mars would have added extra volatility to the day's events. The Moon rules the 9th House in this chart. (I haven't checked the Moon placement for today to see if the Moon is still in Aries).

Mercury and Venus were conjunct at 18 Virgo up in the 10th House. This angular placement gives them prominence. They are conjunct Saturn which rules the 3d House. They are also prominent because they oppose Uranus which rules Aviation. Together they rule the 11th House of Aviation and 3d House of Transportation.

There are many special Uranian Aspects which could specifically point towards an Airline Disaster rather than some other kind of disaster. Uranus here is angular. It is a singleton in Water. Aquarius is intercepted in the 3d House of Transportation.

Also intercepted in the transportation houses are the Nodal Axis, Neptune, Chiron in the 3d House and the Sun in the 9th House.Doris Chase Doane's addition of Neptune rulership to Aviation is also very interesting here. Neptune is even in mutual reception with Uranus.

As for looking for looking for the cause of the crash, I'm afraid I don't know. I'm not familiar with where to look for causes of things and will have to look for that information once the reports confirm it. The chart does show an explosion. The cause is now called "Error in Take Off." Is that indicated by the 1st House? Pluto rules the 1st House and I suppose this rules the Take Off. Pluto rules the sexual organs of the body and I don't know which section of the plane provides its mojo. One cause talked about is Human Error. Perhaps the Pilot was flirting with the Stewardess and not paying attention? Perhaps drugs or alcohol is involved. With Pluto ruling the chart and in hard aspect to Mars both angular and on an Aries Point, there could be a revenge motive to the crash, i.e. it was intentional. This in addition to the Saturn-Neptune-Chiron connection to 3d House might indicate mental depression.

With Saturn ruling the 3d House cusp and Neptune placed in the house one can see room for pilot error in thinking. Saturn rules breaking, caution, perhaps exhaustion from the delayed flight? and Neptune rules not paying attention. As said before, Neptune is conjunct the North Node and Chiron and these are in Aquarius which is intercepted within the 3d House. The 11th House of Aviators is empty with Mars widely conjunct the cusp from House 10. The Sun is intercepted in the 9th House.

Doane does include Mars' prominence in Airplanes because of the connection with mechanics. Mars placed in Libra and whatever part of the plane that would rule (Kidneys?) should be key in describing what went wrong. Air conditioning mechanical failure would make sense as Libra is an Air sign devoted to creating balance and harmony. That's what Air Conditioning does. Will have to come back to this.

I wish a speedy recovery to the survivors from their injuries and send sympathies to the families of those who were lost.
