engines are some of the most complex technologies on the planet. They’re so
difficult to make, in fact, the companies that build aircraft don’t make their
own engines. They
outsource the job to just a few businesses worldwide — mostly US-based General
Electric and Pratt & Whitney, and UK-based Rolls-Royce Holdings. Inside
their R&D labs, jet engine engineers are working to take the age-old
science that makes a jet engine work and build designs that are more lightweight,
more fuel efficient, and longer lasting.

This report on new developments in jet engine technology
appears on BBC London website just a day before the solar eclipse. A chart for
the eclipse at London has it anchored through hard aspects to the now familiar
Jupiter-Zeus-Uranus-Pluto T-square on the meridian axis implying that it is
significant for the place. The eclipse [8pi12] is conjunct the star kappa
Pegasi [9pi] in the constellation Pegasus, the Flying Horse – here a metaphor
for a modern commercial aircraft. Among
other things, Jupiter-Uranus is about technological breakthroughs while the TNP
Zeus has been linked to engines [1] so that the eclipse chart is directly
making a reference to technological breakthroughs in the manufacture of jet
engines.
In addition, we note that Saturn (which is conjunct the
Galactic Center) makes a trine to Uranus on the MC. Philip Sedwick’s research has established
that many advancements in aircraft technology have taken place under transits
to the GC.
In mundane realms the
Galactic Center maintains its place. Most typically the Galactic Core carries
strong influence in technological breakthroughs. When the Wright
Brothers successfully flew their mechanized aircraft on the beaches of North
Carolina in December 1903, the Galactic Center constituted the midpoint of the
Sun/Uranus conjunction in late Sagittarius. So, the Galactic Center perpetually
plays a part in aviation, especially where existing technology fails and new
engineering must result. Consider that when Uranus, hand-in-hand with Saturn,
crossed these degrees in the late 1980's commercial aircraft manufacturers
toyed with new ways of engine propulsion. They went back to turboprop bearing
Saturn’s link to the past. But now they put the engines in a new place, at the
rear of the plane to honor Uranus. But to give the Uranus return of modern
flight extra consideration, the propellers took residence on the rear of the
engines. These ideas, though, never really got off the ground.
When Neptune slipped
by these critical aviation degrees, two things occurred. First, new engines did
arrive for the state of the art aircraft. Notably, these engines produced
relatively little noise, minimizing the problems of noise pollution, a Neptune
factor. Secondly, these engines implemented previously unknown levels of fuel
efficiency, another Neptune push. http://www.philipsedgwick.com/
