(CNN)On
a cold, dry plain in rural eastern Spain, 1,000 meters above sea level, a
surreal scene greets drivers speeding along the Mudejar Highway inland from the
Mediterranean sea. Line after line of enormous jumbo jets appear silhouetted
against the horizon. It's not a mirage, but the site of the largest industrial
airport in Europe. Located outside the town of Teruel, the smallest of all
Spanish provincial capitals, this is not a typical airport. This airport was
built with other purposes in mind. It hosts aircraft from all over the world
that have been withdrawn from service, be it temporarily or permanently, and
caters to their maintenance needs. What it's not, however, is an aircraft
junkyard. Some aging airliners may be scrapped here (after being stripped for
valuable parts and spares) but plenty of new, perfectly serviceable aircraft
are stored in Teruel. Some are ready to fly but are waiting for financial or
legal issues to be sorted out. Some are here because their airlines need to
temporarily adjust capacity to cope with fluctuating market conditions. May 16 http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/16/aviation/teruel-airport-spain/
No news report is without a connection to what is happening
in our skies. As the ancients would say, “As above so below”, the timing of
everything that happens on earth is influenced by what is happening in the
solar system. The news on the Teruel airport came just a week before Mars in
its long retrograde cycle reached its opposition to the Sun, often referred as
the start of its synodic cycle. A chart drawn for the event at Teruel is shown
here. Notice the opposition along with Moon,Saturn and the TNP Admetus
completes a T-square with the Ascendant. The following edited extract from
Jessica Adams explains how Saturn in Sagittarius is affecting the airline
industry.
Sue Tompkins, author
of The Contemporary Astrologer’s Handbook (Flare, 2006) notes ‘Sagittarius is
the sign associated with travel.’ It is the ingress Saturn in Sagittarius,
though, on Tuesday 23rd December 2014 that really rings the changes. There is
no turning back from that point and we will have to live with new realities. http://www.jessicaadams.com/2014/11/09/astrology-special-how-will-the-world-fly-in-2015/
In the light of the above, the Mars synod in Sagittarius is
another milestone in our understanding of a difficult new cycle for the airline
industry. But perhaps what completes the picture is the presence of the TNP
Admetus. Keywords for Admetus [1] include storage and inventory so that
the airport here is acting as a sort of holding point for the aircrafts as the
airline industry goes through a difficult phase.
