Acamar and the megadams on the Brahmaputra

Eridanus – the River

China and India have their eye on the energy potential of the vast Brahmaputra river. Will a new wave of "megadams" bring power to the people - or put millions at risk? The BBC World Service environment reporter Navin Singh Khadka reports from Assam, India. [20 March 2014]

On the banks of the Brahmaputra it is hard to get a sense of where the river starts and ends. It begins far away as a Tibetan mountain stream. On the floodplains of Assam, though, its waters spread as far as the eye can see, merging with the horizon and the sky. From here it continues through north-eastern India into Bangladesh, where it joins with the Ganges to form a mighty river delta. For centuries the Brahmaputra has nourished the land, and fed and watered the people on its banks. Today, though, India and China's growing economies mean the river is increasingly seen as a source of energy. Both countries are planning major dams on long stretches of the river.

Mundane astrologers recognize that eclipses play a crucial role in the destiny of nations especially when they fall on the horizon or meridian axis. Shown above is the chart for the Full Moon Lunar eclipse of October 18, 2013 that fell on the horizon axis at Gauhati – the capital of Assam – a city on the banks of the Brahmaputra from where the news report was filed.  Notice that the eclipse fell on the horizon axis and was, therefore, particularly significant for the place.

The eclipse Moon [25ar45] is conjunct the star Acamar, theta Eridani [23ar27] – a dam on the celestial river Eridanus [1]. Conjunct the MC [22cn0] and Jupiter [19cn54] are the stars alpha and beta (Castor and Pollux) and rho Geminorum which in ancient China were Pe Ho, the Northern River [2].

Since this report is filed on March 20, 2014, the question to ask ourselves is what is it that activated an eclipse that took place five months ago. Mundane astrologers recognize that eclipses can be activated in at least two ways – by  the subsequent progression of angles or by the transit of planets over  the eclipse points. Yesterday, when the report was filed, transit Mars was retrograde over 25li21 opposite the eclipse Moon within just 24 minutes of arc! In addition to this we are now in the shadow of another eclipse of April 15, 2014 which will take place with the Sun [25ar16] conjunct the October eclipse Moon!!
