Radha Mohan Soni and his friends and
family members were in great spirit after offering their tributes to Lord Shiva
at Kedarnath shrine, early morning on 16 June. They were a big group,
consisting of thirty members who had come for pilgrimage from village Maholi
(district: Karoli) in Rajasthan. Most of
the members were moving around the lodge where they had spent their night,
after a tough 14 km trek to the famous Hindu temple located in district
Rurarprayag. At about 6.30 am, Radha Mohan suddenly heard some women shouting
'run, run, save yourself.' Besides the warning, Soni also heard loud and
strange sounds of rumbling. Radha Mohan and others entered their lodge and
asking others to do the same, they climbed the stairs to reach the third floor.
Within seconds they saw a massive mudslide sparked by a cloudburst causing mass
destruction. The mudslide damaged all the buildings located on both sides of
the Kedarnath shrine.[1]
Using
Ingress chart the rules for judging the
weather are outlined in ‘A Basic Guide to Astro-Meteorology’ by Kim Farnell [2].
“Pay close attention to planets which are
conjunct angles. These are very important and may override much of the sign
descriptions”.
For the
Cancer Ingress chart here we find Neptune
conjunct the Descendant.
Neptune - cool, wet, fog, mist,
erosion in an earth sign, peculiar, freakish weather events, flooding. Neptune 's power lies in its ability to lower the
barometer and provoke torrential downpours and flooding conditions.
Kim Farnell
then adds that lunation charts and the four phases of the moon each month -
new, first quarter, full, and last quarter should be looked at for weekly
trends.
The first
quarter moon took place on June 16 with
the meridian axis square Neptune and Fomalhaut (reinforcing the Ingress indications).
In addition the Moon [25vi43] was conjunct the star Benetnash (Alkaid)
[27vi08].
In an important position in a
mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives in calamities such as mine
accidents, collapse of houses and bridges, mountain slides, earth tremors and
catastrophes caused by weather. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth
Ebertin, 1928, no.46, p.57, under the name Benetnash]
Having
dealt with hour hand (Ingress Chart) and minute hand (lunation chart), it only
remains to look at the exact time the incident occurred (the second hand of the
clock).
The chart drawn for June 16, 6:30
am at Kedarnath has Pluto on the
descendant with Uranus square it. Richard
Tarnas associates Uranus-Pluto with “the unleashing of the elemental forces of
nature in various senses (the tangible increase in signs of extreme climate
change, volcanoes and earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, tsunamis and
floods, undersea oil eruptions, mining disasters).” Finally note that the star Benetnash, associated with landslides, is on the IC of the event chart.
As to the
possible spiritual meaning behind the Kedarnath disaster we can only speculate
using Neptune in Pisces as an anchor for
understanding what happened.
The biblical deluge at the beginning of time is a reminder of the connection between water and
the processes of birth and rebirth. Water
can be healing when it dissolves our belief
systems that no longer work. When Neptune entered into Pisces in 1520, the Catholic Church
lost its efficiency due to Protestant reform. In Germany
