Oil Spill in New Orleans at Neptune LQ Moon




NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A 65-mile stretch of the Mississippi River, including the Port of New Orleans, was closed to all water traffic Sunday  (23 Feb) as crews cleaned up oil that spilled from a barge after it ran into a towboat between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, the Coast Guard said. Officials don’t know how much oil spilled, but only a sheen was reported on the river following the collision, which happened Saturday afternoon near Vacherie, 47 miles west of New Orleans by land, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Bill Colclough.




The chart for the Last Quarter Moon at Vacherie is shown above. Notice that it is prominently placed on the descendant with the horizon axis forming a T-square with  Sun-Neptune. In the previous post we gave an example of air pollution that led to a death in a NY eatery. Here the same quarter Moon linked to Neptune is very appropriately linked to an oil spill.
