A Japanese mountaineer who has previously lost nine
fingers to frostbite is nearing the final stage of an attempt to climb Mount
Everest. Latest contact suggests that Nobukazu Kuriki, 33, has reached the
South Col, where he will rest before a final push later on Saturday to reach
the summit. Mr Kuriki is the first person to attempt the climb since Nepal's
devastating earthquake in April. It will be his fifth try at reaching the
summit in the past six years. Mr Kuriki is expected to rest on the South Col
for about seven to eight hours before attempting the final leg of the climb. It
is not uncommon for climbers to set out for the summit late at night to reach
the top around dawn, Ang Tsering, the president of the Nepalese Mountaineering
Association, told the BBC. Sept. 26 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34368256
The news
about the heroic mountain climber comes to us at Pluto station direct. A chart
for the mundane event drawn for Mount Everest
is shown here. Notice Mercury on the MC is not only part of a Grand
Cross but also receives several hard aspects. Let us look at these elements to
see how the news can be built up. Firstly Mercury is part of the Indian
asterism Hasta, “The Hand”. It is in hard aspect to Mars-Saturn and TNP Admetus
– which among other things would stand
for surgeries and amputation (Mars-Saturn) necessitated on account of cold (Admetus). The
Ascendant is conjunct the star kappa Mensae in the constellation of Mensa, “The
Table Mountain” [1].
Under
Uranus-Pluto, Ebertin [2] has “pioneers, reformers, explorers….the attainment
of great objectives by an immense application of effort” but also accidents. The TNP Kronos refers to “heights” while TNP
Hades is debilitation or deterioration or difficult situations sometimes
created by mistakes.
Summing up
we have: A pioneering effort (Uranus-Pluto) to climb Mount Everest (Kronos) despite past mistakes (Hades) that
affected his fingers (Hasta).
