Lego keeps washing up on Cornish beaches






It is a beach litter cleanup even the kids could enjoy. Lego is continuing to wash up on the shores of Cornwall beaches 17 years after a container ship was struck by a freak wave and close to five million pieces were lost overboard. The Tokio Express was en-route from Rotterdam to New York on February 13, 1997, when a wild wave struck it 20 miles west of Land's End, tilting it back and forth at such a sharp degree it lost 62 containers. And in an odd coincidence, a large proportion of the Lego pieces were sea-themed, so cutlasses, octopuses, scubas and flippers have been routinely washing up on Cornish beaches ever since. Daily Mail, July 21,2014

The incident at sea took place on Feb 13, 1997 not very far from the  beach in Perranporth, Cornwall where the Legos are being washed up. The chart for the New Moon of Feb 7,1997  at Perranporth is shown here.



An afflicted Neptune [28cp] on the descendant is an indicator of disasters at sea. It is placed opposite the asteroid Child [27cn] on the Ascendant (sea disaster connected with matters concerning children?)  On the meridian axis is Saturn opposite Mars another indicator of accidents and disasters. The MC is conjunct the star Scheat, beta Pegasus while Saturn is conjunct the star Deneb Kaitos. Beta (β) Cetus, Deneb Kaitos, (Diphda) is a star in the tail of the Whale, or Sea Monster. The following references on the constellation Pegasus [1] and the star Diphda[2] when put together tell us about the possibility of a ship being hit by a huge wave!

The constellation portends events concerning ships and the ocean and also changes in the weather. [Fixed Stars and Judicial Astrology, George Noonan, 1990, p.22.] [1]

Diphda and Iota of Cetus form the thrashing tail of the  sea-monster … bringing the potential to get knocked down and thrashed around. [2]

On the Ascendant [25cn] is the star Procyon [25cn43] which is often referred to as the “Star of the Crossing of the Water – Dog” and when rising Robson informs it could lead to “loss of trade”. The loss of the containers from a ship on a commercial run could well fit  this description.




But why are we hearing about this news on July 21, 2014. Well,  just a day later the Sun entered Leo – the sign associated with children and entertainment. A chart drawn at Perranporth, Cornwall, for the Waning Crescent Moon that took place just a few hours after the Sun’s Leo Ingress  has Neptune [7pi08] on the Ascendant and conjunct the star Sadalachbia [6pi52]. In horary Sadalachibia is "The Lucky Star of Hidden Things” and  indicates the ability to discover that which is hidden or lost.  The Crescent Moon [15ge] is on the IC [19ge20] of the chart which is conjunct the stars Hoedus I [18ge50] and Hoedus II [19ge40] – the two baby goats in the arm of the Charioteer – once again a reference to children!
