The
Thomas Fire is a massive wildfire burning in Ventura and Santa Barbara
Counties, in the cities of Ventura, Ojai, and Santa Paula, and one of multiple
wildfires that started in early December 2017, in Southern California. The fire
began north of Santa Paula, near Steckel Park and Thomas Aquinas College, on
December 4, 2017. It has burned approximately 231,700 acres (938 km2), becoming
the largest wildfire of the 2017 California wildfire season, and the
fifth-largest wildfire in modern California history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Fire
It has long been the
custom in mundane astrology to consider
maps drawn for the time of the entry of the Sun into the cardinal signs:
Aries,Cancer,Libra and Capricorn. Of these, the Aries Ingress was by tradition
considered the most important and possibly to be thought of as “the map of the
year”. Led by Carter astrologers have begun to consider the Capricorn as the
prime ingress.
It was Carter who
suggested that if the sidereal zodiac were valid, maps for the entry of the Sun
into the constellations of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn would be of
importance. This suggestion was followed up by Garth Allen, who in an extensive
statistical investigation found that the sidereal ingresses were not only valid
but of the highest significance. This opinion has been fully confirmed by other
investigators in recent years. Garth eventually arrived at the conclusion that
the Capricorn Sidereal Ingress was of primary importance followed in rank by
that of Cancer; Aries and Libra, whilst having some significance, could be
considered of lesser importance. - Primer of Sidereal Astrology; Cyril Fagan,

In this post we shall see that in addition to the December 3
Full Moon [1] , the sidereal Libra ingress chart at Santa Paula also explains the fire. Notice that the Sun [24li]
is opposite Uranus [26ar] and sextile Saturn [23sa] – which form a trine in
fire signs. Moreover, Uranus is conjunct the stars of Cepheus. About this area,
Diana Rosenberg writes:
Cepheus was
called “inflammatus” by the Romans:
these stars were transited at the 1838 Charleston, SC fire that destroyed more
than half the city, the great 1872 Boston, MA fire that destroyed 930
buildings, killed 12 firefighters and featured a war between looters and
police, at the stupendous Russian artillery bombardment starting the Battle of
Berlin in 1945; the 1947 Texas City disaster: a burning ship loaded with
ammonium nitrate exploded with colossal force, devastating the entire port; at
the 1985 Bradford, England football stadium fire and several others.
Saturn is conjunct stars of Ara – the Fiery altar.
These stars were
transited at the 1788 New Orleans fire; at the 1946 Atlanta GA Winecoff Hotel
fire that killed 119; in 1986 when explosions and fire ravaged the Dumont Plaza
Hotel, San Juan PR; at 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster and meltdown in the
Ukraine; at the 1988 Leningrad Library Fire: 400,000 valuable books destroyed;
in the 1992 at the fiery crash of an El Al 747-200F cargo plane into an
apartment building at Bijlmermeer, Netherlands that killed about 250; in 2003
when illegal pyrotechnics ignited the station nightclub, Warwick RI, killing
100, this was Chiron at the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks when 343 New York
firefighters died.
Let us now progress the ingress chart to December 4, the day
the fire is reported to have started at Santa Paula. Notice that the progressed
MC reaches a conjunction to Uranus triggering the configuration.
