France bus crash: Pensioners killed in truck collision




At least 42 people, most of them pensioners on a day trip, have been killed in a head-on collision between a bus and a truck in south-west France. The crash happened on a country road near Puisseguin in the Gironde wine region, east of Bordeaux. Both vehicles then caught fire. France's president said he had been "plunged into sadness by the tragedy". PM Manuel Valls is at the scene. It is the worst French road disaster since 1982, when 52 people died. The bus collided with the timber truck at 07:30 local time (05:30 GMT), at what local residents described as a notoriously dangerous bend in the road. Both vehicles quickly caught fire. The French government said 42 people had died and nine people were injured, four seriously. Oct.23 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34613637






Yesterday, Mercury, the planet that rules travel, communication and vehicles, was exactly square Pluto. A chart for the planetary square at Libourne which is just 15 kms from  Puisseguin is shown here. Notice that the Mercury-TNP Zeus-Uranus-Pluto T-square straddles the horizon suggesting that its energy was going to be felt at that place. Among other things, Uranus-Pluto is linked to accidents [1] and TNP Zeus to fires [2] so putting the elements together we have a vehicle (Mercury) involved in an accident (Uranus-Pluto) catches fire (Zeus).







And now, if we draw a chart for the time of the accident (07:30 local time) notice that Mercury conjunct Zeus is on the Ascendant and the T-square straddles the horizon and is thereby triggered.

Finally, before ending, let us note that Saturn, the  planet which rules old people and pensioners, is conjunct the asteroid Orpheus [2], linked to death, and anchored to the T-square through hard aspects. In the Mercury-Pluto square chart, Saturn is placed in the 5th house which in mundane astrology is associated with all activities connected with recreation and enjoyment [3] and would, therefore, include the outing that the unfortunate pensioners were on.
