Singapore Airlines plane lost engine power mid-flight




The Fall of Icarus by Baglione


Singapore Airlines is investigating a recent incident when one of its planes lost power in both engines mid-flight. Flight SQ836 was flying from Singapore to Shanghai on Saturday (May 23) night when the plane hit bad weather. The engines of the Airbus A330-300 cut out, but pilots managed to restore the engines' operations, and landed the aeroplane safely at its destination. It was carrying 194 people at that time. A subsequent inspection found no engine anomalies, the airline said. Engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce and Airbus are now working with Singapore Airlines in its investigation. Power loss in both engines is considered rare in the aviation industry, but pilots are trained to respond to it. May 27 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32894964






A chart drawn for transiting Sun opposite Saturn on May 23 at Singapore is shown here.  Two planetary combinations come to our attention. The first is the loose Grand Cross on the angles and the second is a partial T-square comprising Sun-Mercury-Mars opposite Saturn square Neptune.  Neptune is placed in the 9th house of long distance journeys and airlines [1].  A retrograde Mercury, the god of travel, in the 12th house squares Neptune, the planet of mysterious and difficult to diagnose causes. The 12th house connects with “matters that are hidden, restrained, secret, incapable of action or of being fully understood”[2]. Mercury [12ge] conjoins Mars [8ge] , the Sun[2ge] and the asteroid Icarus [2ge],  connected with flights and  aircrafts. The story of Icarus is that of the hero who flew too close to the Sun on wax wings. The wax melted and he fell down to earth (see image). Icarus [2ge] is in hard aspect to the TNP Zeus [17li] that governs engines.  So already a picture is beginning to emerge. The chart is telling us about some difficult to diagnose problems with aircraft engines!

Finally, let us look at the loose Grand Cross on straddling the horizon axis. The TNPs Hades-Kronos are on the Ascendant square Zeus. Key words supplied by Martha Wescott [3] are given below. We can see that one interpretation that is relevant here is “trouble (Hades)  with aircraft (Kronos) engines (Zeus)”.

HADES: debilitation or deterioration; “messy” situations; investigation into the root cause of problems.

KRONOS: Authoritative positions; questioning of competency; having differences of opinion; dealing with “red tape,” timing or jumping bureaucratic hoops; laws; police; legislators; the father; executives; governmental leaders; events through people in the public eye; measurements (especially of height;) rising, altitude, flights; overhead/above. Assessment of your own competency.

ZEUS: Restrained or creative fire/energy; enthusiasm; controlled & directed forces;  guns, power tools, machines,  motors, fireplaces, fuels; excitement; to incite; military; blood pressure; ability to harness energies for accomplishment.





Now let us direct our attention to the solar eclipse of October 24, 2014. Notice the eclipse puts a powerful Grand Cross on the angles at Singapore. The TNPs Hades-Kronos-Zeus mentioned above are part of the Cross and are interpreted in the same way.







 If we progress the eclipse chart to May 23, the date of the incident, we find that the TNPs Hades-Kronos which form the leading edge of the Cross reach the Ascendant triggering the entire Cross into manifestation.
