France attack: 'Man decapitated' near Lyon











A man has been decapitated and several others injured at a factory in France in what President Francois Hollande has called a terrorist attack. Two men drove into the Air Products gas factory factory near Lyon, officials said, before several explosions were heard. One of the suspects, a 30-year-old who was known to police, has been arrested. The dead man was found with Arabic inscriptions on him and an Islamist flag was found near the site. June 26 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33284937







The ingress of the Sun into the four cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are considered among the most important events in mundane astrology. The Sun has just moved into Cancer on June 21 and  the chart for the ingress drawn for Lyon, France is shown here. Since planets on the angles always deserve our attention we notice that Saturn is on the Ascendant  in a quincunx aspect to Sun-Mars in the 8th house. Mars-Saturn aspects are linked to violence and terrorist attacks. This is further compounded by Mars being  in conjunction with the star Bellatrix, alpha Orion in the constellation of the Hunter or Warrior. On the descendant  [25ta] is the evil star Algol [26ta], the decapitated head of Medusa!

On the MC [13vi] is the star Mizar, zeta (ΞΆ) Ursa Major. Mizar [16vi] is known for  devastating explosions. [1]

Quite often it is worthwhile to also look at a well timed national chart to explain events. France has many birth charts, each reflecting the dynamic political and social changes which have occurred in this country over the centuries. The current horoscope for France is that of the Fifth Republic, born in 1958; France 6 October 1958; 6:30 pm, Paris [2]. The most significant transit in this chart is Uranus [20ar] conjunct the Ascendant [20ar]. Martha Wescott gives us the following key phrases for this transit:

To have others be restless-reckless-disruptive in a way that affects the routine of the day; to have to adjust to the independence needs of another; environment feels tense and unpredictable.






A good test for the validity of the French national would be to progress its solar return to the  June 26, the date of the event, to see if the configuration highlighted represents the event.  Notice that the progressed precessed return brings the  Uranus-Pluto square to the angles.
This  square impels individuals  to initiate action (Aries)  to create radical change (Uranus)  in the existing paradigm held in place by corrupt and decaying institutions (Pluto in Capricorn).
