Landslides have killed at least 92 people in
south-west Colombia and left many more injured. Hours of heavy rains overnight
caused rivers to burst their banks, flooding homes with mud in Putumayo
province. An unknown number of people are missing. One army officer said the
main local hospital was struggling to cope. President Juan Manuel Santos, who
is travelling to the area, said troops had been deployed as part of a national
emergency response. The region's governor, Sorrel Aroca, told Colombian media
that whole neighbourhoods had been buried. Jose Antonio Castro, mayor of the
provincial capital Mocoa, told Caracol radio that the town was "totally
isolated", without electricity and water. 1 April http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-39468575
Earthquakes or landslides are often associated with eclipses
and especially so if the 4th house cusp (IC) is involved. Shown here
is the chart of the lunar eclipse of
September 16, 2016 drawn for Mocoa. Notice that Uranus is placed on the IC in
aspect to the eclipse luminaries. The 4th house rules the land in
mundane astrology and Uranus, the earth shaker right here, the possibility of a
landslide increases. But more significantly, the eclipse Sun is conjunct the
star Alkaid. Eta (η) Ursa Major, Alkaid or Benatnasch, is a brilliant white
star on the tail of the Great Bear. About this star Elsbeth Ebertin writes:
In an important
position in a mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives in calamities such
as mine accidents, collapse of houses and bridges, mountain slides, earth
tremors and catastrophes caused by weather [Fixed Stars and Their
Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, no.46, p.57, under the name Benetnash]
If we progress the eclipse chart to April 1, the date of the
event, the progressed horizon triggers the eclipse axis setting it off.
Finally, we look at the horoscope of Columbia as provided by
Campion, "The Book of World Horoscopes," (Second Edition, 1996),
p.121 [1]. Notice that Saturn stationing to go retrograde on April 6 conjunct Columbia’s radix Sun [25sa]; Uranus [25sa];
Neptune [28sa] square Saturn [24pi]. A chart for the Saturn station at Mocoa has
the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto T-square straddling
the horizon axis. Recall Tarnas’ keyphrase for Uranus-Pluto, “the sudden
unleashing of elemental forces”. And
once again with Uranus on the 4th cusp earthquakes or landslides
become a distinct possibility.
