Paris Fire


To the magus, there exists no accidental happening…everything is established solidly by that law which the wise man discerns in happenings that appear accidental to the profane. The curve observed in the flight of birds, the barking of a dog, the shape of a cloud, are occult manifestations of that omnipresent, coordinator, the source of unity and harmony - Karl  Seligmann

Ten people including a baby have died in a fire at an eight-storey building in south-western Paris, fire service officials say. More than 30 people - including six firefighters - were injured. One person is in a serious condition. Fifty people were evacuated by ladders from the blaze in the upmarket 16th arrondissement. The Paris prosecutor says it may have been deliberately started. Police have detained a female suspect. An eyewitness at the scene told France Télévision: "The fire alarm went off at 00:30am a little after midnight, and smoke was everywhere already. I live on the 8th floor, the top floor, so I tried to pass from balcony to balcony to get away, And then, we huddled up in a corner, other people climbed up to where I was to escape the flames."

The worldview underlying astrology sees all of reality as symbolic in nature. To the symbolist, the heavenly bodies are threads within a great tapestry of affinities and correspondences. Elwell has defined the term multicongruence as  the tendency for certain things and conditions to co-occur because they belong together at a higher, unmanifest level. 



In a previous post Astrology of the French Unrest [1] , I wrote about the long duration Pluto transit to the radix Moon in the French National chart causing an outpouring of anger/rage  - a  kind of fire.

In France’s national chart the most powerful current direction is Pluto transiting through the 10th house opposite the Moon [21cn] in the 4th square the Ascendant (or cusp of 1st house). An opposition from the 10th to the 4th is then simply interpreted as the public vs the government. With Pluto involved we are seeing an outpouring of anger/rage [6] from the public (Moon).

In the last couple of days transit Mars [21ar] and Pluto [21cp] formed a sharp square with Mars conjoining the Ascendant and square the Moon [21cn] of the French chart once again triggering the same combination but this time leading to an actual fire (Mars in Aries)  started by a woman (Moon)!




Here is the chart for the reported time when the fire alarm went off. Notice the Mars-Uranus-Pluto square straddling the horizon – a very significant axis in mundane astrology. Moreover, Uranus is conjunct the stars of Cepheus. Cepheus was called  “inflammatus” by the Romans and linked to fires.


PS:

As  Mars in Aries begins the process of weaving Uranus and Pluto together by first making a square to Pluto we are in an explosive moment, a moment of upheaval, power, force, and reckoning. We will be wise to avoid all "unnecessary" confrontations, power struggles, or reckless choices, while also making the bravest decisions we can, the decisions most likely to create the breakthrough we know we need.
