Twin
wildfires raging through popular seaside areas near the Greek capital have
torched homes, cars and forests and killed at least 60 people, authorities said
Tuesday, raising the death toll after rescue crews reported finding the bodies
of more than 20 people huddled together near a beach. CBS News correspondent
Seth Doane reports the fires are the worst Greece has seen since 2007,
prompting the government to issue an urgent appeal for help in battling the
blazes, which have swept through a beach resort community popular with tourists
and retirees. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/athens-greece-fires-dozens-dead-beaches-kineta-rafina-today-live-updates-2018-07-24/
Astrology often makes mention of houses, transits, and
aspects, but it's the angles in a chart that really bring a horoscope to life. The
angles are the four Cardinal points of an astrological chart: the Ascendant,
the Midheaven, the Descendant and the Imum Coeli.
The solar eclipse of July 13 fell close to the Ascendant at Athens, Greece implying
that it was very significant for the place. Being opposite Pluto and square the
TNP it is already indicating some radical event (Pluto) possibly linked to
fires (Zeus). Exactly conjunct the
Ascendant [14cn] is the star Sirius, alpha Canis Major.
Canis Major and especially its lucida, Sirius
(derived from seirios, “scorching”) has always been associated with heat and
fires: the Great Fire of Rome began in the night of July 18, 64 CE OS; July 19
was the date of the heliacal rising of Sirius.
There was a solar eclipse here in July 1666, two months before the Great
Fire of London; at the great New York City financial district fire of 1835; at
Vienna’s 1881 Ring fire that killed 850 and injured hundreds more; at the 1908
Lake View School fire in Collinwood,OH that killed 176 children and 2 teachers; at the ghastly 1923 8.3 Tokyo
earthquake/tsunami/fire that killed 143,000; at the terrible 1944 Ringling
Circus fire in Hartford,CT; at the start
of the fire in 1988 that destroyed Lisbon’s Chiado Shopping district; at the
1991 Oakland Hills, San Francisco fire that burned 3000 homes and killed 25 and
many more [1].
Finally we notice that the eclipse has fallen exactly
opposite the radix Sun [22cp] in Greece’s
national horoscope!
