Ara
The Altar
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Residents of a northwestern
Minnesota town are returning to their homes after a freight train collides with
a propane truck Thursday. Crews in Callaway have been on the scene of a
collision between the train and truck for more than 17 hours. More than 15
different departments have responded. The incident prompted an evacuation of
the town. First, they were fighting flames from when the train hit the propane
truck. Then around 10:30 p.m. Thursday, the large propane tanker exploded. It
was carrying 10,000 gallons of propane when it was hit by the train. http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/03/25/callaway-train-tanker-crash/
Astrologers
practicing mundane astrology are aware that eclipse or ingresses affect a place
according to the position of planets in houses. For example the current solar
eclipse chart at Callaway has Saturn placed in the third house as part of a
stressful T-square. For this position, H.S. Green writes in his Mundane or National Astrology:
Saturn in the Third
House: If afflicted, there are railway and other accidents connected with
locomotion.
While the
eclipse took place on March 8, the immediate cause was Saturn turning
station retrograde on March 25.
The next
question is “Why the fire?” Well here Saturn
[16sa] in the third house is conjunct V801 Arae [16sa] in the constellation of
Ara, the Altar. Diana Rosenberg writes:
Ara is a fiery
altar: these stars were transited at the terrible 1876 Brooklyn Theatre fire
(293 died), in 1918 when a forest fire overwhelmed Brookston,MN killing 800; in
1937 at Zeppelin Hindenburg’s final voyage and fiery explosion; at the 1944 Port
Chicago, CA massive explosion that blew up two munitions ships and wharves; at
the 1961 Gran Circo Norte/Americano Circus fire in Brazil; at a 1966 New York
City 5-alarm fire that killed 12 firemen; in 1978 at an Abadan, Iran theatre
fire deliberately set by Muslim extremists; at the 1985 Bradford, England
football stadium fire that killed 53 and several others.
Readers who may
also like to progress the eclipse chart to the date of the accident will notice
that the progressed descendant conjoins Uranus in fiery Aries which is part of
a configuration containing Uranus-Pluto-Mars in hard aspects – a combination
that stands for accidents.
