Fiery Explosion as Train Collides With Tanker


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.
