Astrology of the Brazil wildfires


The  Brazil wildfires are now receiving international attention. Most of  the wildfires  have occurred in the Amazon region,  the world's largest rainforest, which is considered to be "vital to counter global warming". As of August 20, there are fires burning in the rainforest in four Brazilian states: Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso and Pará. Many events like this one can be related to the New Moon or Full Moon. Here is the chart for the current New Moon of August 1 at Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. Notice that it is placed very significantly on the lower meridian forming a square (90  degrees) aspect to Uranus on the Ascendant.



Among events connected to the stars that conjoin the New Moon, Diana Rosenberg lists “fires”. Moreover, Uranus [6ta] on the Ascendant is among stars of Cepheus also called “inflammatus”. 

Diana Rosenberg writes:

There are devastating fires here – among them the Great Fire of Rome, 64 CE; the Charleston SC fire of 1838 that destroyed more than half the city; the Oct 1993 fires fanned by  Santa Ana winds that devastated Southern California; the huge 1842 Hamburg, Germany fire; the Lake View School fire in Collingwood, OH, 1908; the infamous Ring Theatre fire in Vienna 1881; the L’Innovation Department Store  fire in Brussels, 1967; the Halloween Disco fire in Goteborg, Sweden in 1998 and many others.



Many  events can be explained by what astrologers call the station point. This  term refers to the period when a planet slows down and stands relatively still before changing directions, and either starts going backward ("retrograde") or forward ("direct"). Think "station" as in stationary, in other words. It is reported that on August 11, a state of emergency was declared by the government of Amazonas. This happens to be the exact date when (a) Jupiter stationed to go direct and (b) Uranus stationed to go retrograde.  Notice that the charts for these stations have Uranus (with Cepheus’ stars) on the horizon axis – one of the two axes where all the action takes place.
