Riverside
homes and businesses in Paris are on high alert as the swollen River Seine
threatens to overflow its banks. Some basements in the city have already sprung
leaks after the river surged following heavy rainfall, reports said. The Seine
is forecast to swell even further this weekend, adding several metres of water
above its normal level. Many roads in the region are already waterlogged. Boat
traffic - including the capital's famous tourist cruises - has also been
interrupted. Jan.27 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42841615
The powerful total
lunar eclipse of Jan.31 at [12le] is
making its influence felt in Paris. We shall see in this blogpost how the rising Seine and floods in Paris are a
consequence of the eclipse. The eclipse is placed in sidereal Cancer or the
Crab – a watery constellation linked to floods. For transits to these stars,
Diana Rosenberg lists:
The 1889 Great
Johnston Flood that killed 2200 Pennsylvanians; a storm with 100 mph winds that
produced severe floods in Holland, England and Belgium causing huge losses at a
1953 lunar eclipse and several other storms and water related events.
But the eclipse is a worldwide event so why did it choose
Paris for the flood? To answer this question, we must understand the importance
of the angles at any particular place. If the stars on the angles resonate with
the theme of the eclipse, that place becomes the focal point for an event. Here
on the Mc [2pi] we have the star Fomalhauti, in the mouth of the Southern Fish.
Alpha (α) Piscis
Austrinus, Fomalhaut, is a reddish star in the mouth of the Southern Fish. The
Southern Fish is a separate constellation to Pisces, lying much further to the
South, though in ancient legend it is often referred to as the parent of the zodiacal
pair. The area in which it lies has an
heavy emphasis upon constellations with watery imagery, the goat-fish
(Capricorn), the whale (Cetus), the water-pourer (Aquarius), the fishes
(Pisces), and the dolphin (Delphinus) all located nearby, obviously earmarking
this region as one that related to the rainy season of the ancient year, by
which many of its stars are associated with floods or troubles at sea. The
Southern Fish is usually depicted on star maps at the feet of Aquarius, where
it swallows up the water poured from his urn [1][2][3][4].
Diana Rosenberg lists the following floods under transits to
the stars of the Fish:
At the May 1333; Solar
Eclipse(path of totality through Italy) six months before the terrible Florence
Flood of Nov, 1333; in 1570 when floods driven by high winds ripped through
Holland dikes killing more than 50,000; at the “Onze Heures Moins Dix Flood” on
Jan 21, 1910 when torrential rains
caused the Seine to overflow; at the 1993 Aries Ingress before the Great
Mississippi Flood as well as in China and Bangladesh.
