Eclipse and the Australian wildfires

One person has died and hundreds of homes are feared lost in Australia as firefighters battle to contain nearly 100 bushfires blazing in the state of New South Wales. Emergency services estimate that the fires — the worst to hit Australia’s most populous state in a decade — razed as many as 200 houses. Most were in the World Heritage area of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.

It is ancient knowledge in astrology that eclipses in fires signs give rise to fires. The Full Moon eclipse of 19 Oct took place in the fire sign Aries. At Sydney and the surrounding area it places Pluto [9cp12]  on the Ascendant [9cp06] with Uranus [9ar55] square it.

Conjunct Uranus is  Erakis,mu Cephei, [9ar52], Garnet Star in the King’s head. Cepheus wears a Crown of Fire! (Romans called him inflammatus). Ibn Ezra, an 11^th century astrologer listed in place of Cepheus, “The Lady of the Flame”. In India, the two Bhadrapadha nakshtras (this is Uttarabhadrapadha) were known as “the Scorching Pair” connected with all things hot and burning. Research has proved this to be one of two areas with the highest number of fires in the zodiac among them.
