SHILLONG
— As operation to rescue 15 trapped miners continue at the 370-foot-deep
illegal coal mine in East Jaintia Hills district, a survivor of the December 13
accident said Saturday there is no way the trapped miners will come out alive. Sahib
Ali, hailing from Assam’s Chirang district, is one of the five men who narrowly
escaped the flooding coal mine a fortnight ago. He said four others who made it
alive had fled to their homes in West Garo Hills district of Meghalaya.
The unfortunate tragedy occurred just two days before the First
Quarter Moon. A chart for the Moon phase at Shillong, close to the place of the
accident, has the Moon [23pi] placed significantly on the MC with Mars. On the
IC is eta (η) Ursa Major, Alkaid, [26vi] a brilliant white star on the tail of the
Great Bear. About this star Elsebth Ebertin wrote:
The last star in the
Great Bear. Benetnash (Alkaid) means 'hired mourners'. If the influence of this
star is exercised, an influence of a Mars-Uranus-Saturn nature is present.
Experience has shown that many human lives are to be mourned. Reinhold Ebertin
made a survey of this fixed star covering centuries when associated with
transits of the major planets over this degree. The results have been recorded
in the 40th yearbook for Cosmobiological Research 1969. In accordance with
adopted belief of ancient times, this fixed star is supposed to be bound up
with the realm of the dead and is therefore associated with death and mourning.
In an important position in a mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives
in calamities such as mine
accidents, collapse of houses and bridges, mountain slides, earth
tremors and catastrophes caused by weather. [Fixed Stars and Their
Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, no.46, p.57, under the name Benetnash]
