Astrology of the Kabul bomb attack

A bomb has exploded in a wedding hall in the Afghan capital, Kabul, and many casualties are feared. Witnesses told the BBC a suicide bomber detonated explosives during a wedding ceremony. Witnesses said they had seen bodies. The explosion happened at around 22:40 local time (18.10 GMT) in an area mostly populated by Shia Muslims. No group has said it carried out the attack, which happened in the west of the city. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49383803

When  slow-moving planets, like the current Saturn-Pluto combination, form aspects the effects can be  deep and far-reaching because these planets interlock for a longer period of time, and their contacts are much less frequent. Moreover if an eclipse illuminates this combination, their effect is felt very strongly in those places where they aspect the angles.

Shown here is the chart for the July 2 solar eclipse at Kabul which fell opposite Saturn-Pluto and formed a Grand Cross with the horizon axis.

In his monumental work Cosmos and Psyche, Richard Tarnas describes the effect of Saturn-Pluto cycles.

In one sense, the negative Saturn-Pluto principles synergistically combine in the various events and acts being confronted: the trauma and crisis of war, the efficiently organized violence and deployment of vast destructive power, the victimization of the powerless, the mass death and end of innocence.

….the deployment of violence and terror under the guise of moral rightness, a just cause, God’s will, national security, law and order – the harsh repression by an established government, the objectifying of the other, the radical splitting between good self and evil enemy.

Events promised by the eclipse become due when the progressed angles form aspects to the relevant configurations.  Here is the eclipse chart progressed to August 17, the date of the Kabul tragedy. Notice that the eclipse-Saturn-Pluto-Zeus T-square makes hard aspects to the meridian thereby triggering it on that date.

The Saturn—Pluto – S.Node conjunction provides impetus to discard or retire the antiquated Plutonian expression in the world, which is one of dominance and control over others. It demands we take the responsibility to relinquish antiquated behavioral patterns, belief structures and crystallizations in consciousness, and to spiritualize and elevate our efforts to establish new foundations, organizations and systems in our lives that will support a new societal modality emerging throughout the decade ahead.
