Grief and anger in Netherlands over crash victims




The front-page headline put it plainly: "MURDERERS," it accused in huge capital letters, trying to capture the national mood in the Netherlands during a time of grief and anger. Below the headline the paper printed a photo of scowling, heavily armed pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine, men who many believe fired the missile that brought down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, with support from Vladimir Putin's Russia. The Dutch government, to no one's surprise, is moving much more cautiously than the populist press -- too cautiously, in the opinion of many, who are taking to social media to demand more forceful action, echoing the words of U.S. President Barack Obama, who called Thursday's  (Jul 17) disaster "a wake-up call to Europe." (CNN) ; Jul 20.







A solar ingress is the entry of the Sun into a sign of the zodiac; and of all the yearly phenomena, the ingresses into the four cardinal movable signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are usually the most important. Several astrologers consider this ingress in the tropical zodiac while others look at sidereal ingresses. It is this astrologer’s view that both are equally important and neither can be neglected. Here we present the example of the sidereal Capricorn Ingress chart at Amsterdam, Holland to understand the news. With Uranus on the IC  square Pluto part of  a Grand Cross with Mars and TNP Zeus we can expect the possibility of a violent accident or explosion. Pluto is conjunct Sigma (σ) Sagittarius, Nunki, a star on the vane of the arrow in the archer's hand – a perfect symbol for a missile. Opposite Uranus on the MC are stars of the Virgin’s wing, the Crow’s wing and China’s Great Red Bird implying that this area is linked with aviation so that the possibility of an aircraft accident is very real.






Progressing the chart by the solar quotidian method to the period between July 17 (the date of the accident) and July 20 (the date of the above news) we find that the MC has reached the conjunction to Uranus triggering the Grand Cross and causing the event and the shock and grief that has followed. Here the asteroids offer a clear picture. On the descendant of the progressed chart we have  Mercury [6aq] along with asteroids Grieve [2aq] and Pandora [5aq]. The delineation for the combination Pandora/Grieve is:


Pandora/Grieve
There may  be reactions to an  unexpected loss or because a loss has brought one something (or  something to deal with) that they hadn't expected.
