As many as 85 villages were flooded in
Myanmar after a dam failed, unleashing waters that blocked a major highway and
forced more than 63,000 people from their homes, a state-run newspaper said on
Thursday. Aug. 30 https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-myanmar-dam/myanmar-dam-breach-floods-85-villages-thousands-driven-from-homes-idUKKCN1LF06Z
Lunations
(New or Full Moons) can affect a place dramatically when they fall on the
horizon or meridian axis. The Aug. 26 Full Moon fell on the Ascendant at
Yangon, Myanmar and was conjunct the star Fomalhaut .
Alpha (α) Piscis Austrinus,
Fomalhaut, is a reddish star in the mouth of the Southern Fish, Piscis
Austrinus . 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. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/pis_aus.html
