Lunar Eclipse and the Kolkata Flyover Collapse

What makes astrology supremely relevant is that it discloses an unsuspected dimension of the world we think we know so well. It is as though we have become accustomed to see only the horizontal yarn of the weaving, the weft, and are largely unaware of the warp. We are accustomed to break down our world, in order to understand it, into certain categories, recognizing what belongs to this category, what belongs to that. That is ‘scientific’. However, astrology is about learning to think in new categories. It embodies a system of new categories that are as different from the ones to which we are habituated, as the warp is from the weft. In this system objects and events that at first sight appear to have nothing whatever to do with each other are shown to be intimately connected. Conversely, things we naturally tend to associate may be distributed otherwise in the astrological scheme. Understanding the world around us depends on our power to perceive patterns of meaning, to make the right connections, recognize what belongs with what. It is not easy. Unaided, it is as if we are looking at the weaving from the wrong side, and it seems a mess, but with the help of astrology we can see the design as it is meant to be. As the shuttle of the cosmic loom ceaselessly weaves its intricate design, astrologers have the responsibility, or rather the awesome privilege, to work towards restoring to humanity the sense of high meaning it has all but lost.”

Kolkata had one of its worst days today when a portion of an under-construction flyover collapsed in a busy north Kolkata neighbourhood, killing many people and leaving dozens injured and trapped under the debris. According to latest reports at least 17 people have been killed, and the casualties are expected to rise through the day. Several people were rescued from under the debris and were sent to different hospitals in the vicinity. The collapse occurred around noon at the busy Rabindra Sarani-KK Tagore Street crossing near Burrabazar, the trading hub and one of the most congested areas in the city.

The lunar eclipse chart at Kolkata is shown here. Notice that it aligns with the horizon axis and is therefore significant for the place. It also forms a T-square with Mercury and the TNPs Kronos-Hades. 


The following definitions of TNPs are taken from http://junojuno2.tripod.com/tnps.htm

The Transeptunian Points (TNPs)

KRONOS :     This TNP is viewed as relating to government or parent figures. This  is true. However, Kronos can indicate tall structures, mountains, the   height reached by airplanes - generally, highly situated places.

HADES  Decomposition, defect, disintegration.

We know , of course, that Mercury is connected with roads. So that with Kronos, it becomes a flyover! Combine both with Hades and you have a flyover collapse because of defect or disintegration. At the time of the collapse Moon [7cp] was forming a Grand Cross and thus activating the eclipse.






But as we have seen in the past, there can more than one cosmic factor contributing to an event. On the night of March 30, Mercury and Pluto formed an exact square. A chart for this planetary event has Mercury (road) activating the Uranus-Pluto square (collapse)  and forming an aspect to the MC at Calcutta. (Ebertin's keywords for Uranus-Pluto are collapse or accidents.)







Finally, a chart drawn for the reported time of the collapse (12 noon) has the same square straddling the MC axis.


PS:  A few days back, Kolkata newspapers [1]reported a sting operation in which politicians of the ruling party were videotaped accepting bribes. Notice that another interpretation of Kronos-Hades is leaders who are corrupt and with Mercury (newsmedia) we can see how the same combination can refer to newsreports(Mercury)  about corruption (Hades)  in high places (Kronos)!
