Dead blue whale washes ashore near Mumbai








A 40-feet dead whale washed ashore near the coast of Revas in Raigad district in Maharashtra. Forest department officials claim that the whale may have got stranded in shallow water and later died; the carcass was later buried near the coast.  Another dead whale was found at the Uran coast around two months ago. Several marine creatures including dolphins have been found dead around the Mumbai coast in the recent past.  The female Blue Whale, the world's largest animal, washed up on the beach on Wednesday morning and despite efforts to move the 20-tonne marine mammal by locals and authorities, the whale died ashore around on Thursday morning.  Recently, blue whales were spotted by researchers along the Sindhudurg coast of Maharashtra in the first such sighting in 100 years.

The incident occurred on  June 24, the very day of the First Quarter Moon. A chart for the Moon phase at  Mumbai is shown here. The Sun and Mars are conjunct in the 8th house which rules all matters connected with death. Mars is the ruler of the 12th house which in mundane astrology rules large animals like the whale in our story so that we are looking at the possible death of a large animal. But what kind of animal is this?  Both Sun and Mars are in a quincunx aspect to Saturn on the Ascendant.  Saturn [-17d57] is sharply parallel in declination to the star Deneb Kaitos [-17d54]. Beta (β) Cetus, Deneb Kaitos, is a star in the tail of the Whale, or Sea Monster[1].

Also relevant here is  Venus [16le] conjunct the star Dubhe of Ursa Major. Diana Rosenberg links this area of stars to “issues relating to the destruction or protection of animals and the environment”. This may be  a hint in the chart that the death for the magnificent creature may be because we have not been looking after the environment.
