With the filing, all operations at the airline have immediately ceased, putting about 2,000 employees out of a job and, according to multiple news reports, leaving more than 100,000 passengers stranded at airports.  Oct.2   https://goo.gl/qxCVRy

Regular readers of this blogsite will by now  be fully familiar with the methods used here.  Significant world events can be understood through use of a variety of mundane astrology tools. Prominent among these are eclipses, planetary cardinal ingresses and lunations etc. Of these the cardinal ingresses of the Sun are routinely used  by astrologers. We are now in the Libra quarter which began with the Sun’s entry into Libra on September 22. A chart for the ingress at London is shown here. It features a Jupiter-Uranus opposition that straddles the meridian axis. In addition it is part of a more complex configuration containing Neptune-Venus-Mars. For Jupiter-Neptune-Uranus, Ebertin gives us:

Jupiter-Neptune-Uranus: A poor speculation; losses; the stage of coming down to earth with a bump, sudden recognition of a difficult situation.

With Venus and Jupiter both ruling money matters, it is not surprising that a bankruptcy has been announced. Moreover, on Oct.2, the date of the news, the Waning Gibbous Moon at London carries the same configuration, this time aligned with horizon, which has the same effect of bringing it into prominence. But here we can also see that the Sun and Moon make hard aspects to the TNPs Hades and Kronos. The TNP Kronos is linked to aircrafts and by association to airlines while the TNP Hades is a decline so that the bankruptcy of an airline is among the events attributable to the Gibbous Moon.
