The London Fire

The image depicts the Centaur as well as Ara, the burning altar

The image of Ara

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

― Gospel of Thomas

A huge fire has engulfed a tower block in Latimer Road, west London, with firefighters tackling flames from the second floor to the top. The fire at Grenfell Tower on the Lancaster West Estate was reported at 01:16 BST and about 200 firefighters are tackling the blaze. June 14 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-40269625

A chart drawn for the reported time of the fire has the Sun-Saturn opposition aligned with the meridian – a very significant placement. However, this is the “minute” hand of the cosmic clock. The “hour”  hand which matches the same theme is the upcoming Last Quarter Moon phase chart at London. Notice here too the Sun-Saturn opposition aligns with the meridian.

Saturn is conjunct the stars delta Ara  and Sargas, theta Scorpi. For events in this area, Diana lists “fires”  and writes:

Ara’s flames are here and Sargas was part of Sar-ur, “Director of Fire” in the Euphratean star-list: this was the Sun at the great New York City financial district fire of 1835; these stars were transited when Sherman’s troops burned Atlanta in the US Civil War; at the 1871 Great Chicago and Peshtigo, WI fires whipped by high winds; at Chicago’s  1958 Our Lady of Angels Grade School Fire that killed 90 pupils and 3 nuns; in 1960 Guatemala City insane asylum fire killed 225 and injured 300; at the 1974 Sao Paulo, Brazil Joelma Bank fire: 177 died, many jumping to their deaths; at the 1982 Salang Tunnel disaster, Afghanistan, when an explosion and fire trapped and killed between 1000 and 3000 people; at the 1987 Aries Ingress just before Manchuria’s Great Black Dragon Fire and several others.

A small digression into the deeper philosophical reasons for the fire would be relevant here. Let us remember that every outer world catastrophe is caused by in an inner world resistance to change. For the degrees of Saturn’s placement conjunct the stars of Ara, Nick Fiorenza writes:

The progression from late Scorpio into the first few degrees of sidereal Sag offers a powerful transmutational process, which I refer to as the Ara Initiation. Ara is the Altar of the Centaur. The mythical image here is of the Centaur placing slain Lupus the beast with conscious deliberation upon the Centaur's sacrificial altar.

If we are not ready to surrender and relinquish our antiquated emotional baggage, we are held back or sidetracked, and continue to experience upsets, diversions and even traumatic and catastrophic events in our lives because we are not truly ready to step into a greater self-empowerment and greater cosmic consciousness / galactic awareness. http://www.lunarplanner.com/LunarMonths2015/lunarmonth.15.04.18.html
