Super
Cyclonic Storm Amphan is currently a very powerful tropical cyclone over the
Bay of Bengal threatening Odisha and West Bengal in India as well as
Bangladesh. It is the first tropical cyclone of the 2020 North Indian Ocean
cyclone season. Amphan is the first super cyclonic storm in the Bay of Bengal
since the 1999 Odisha cyclone. An Orange message was issued for the coasts of
Odisha and West Bengal. Odisha's six districts of Kendrapada, Bhadrak,
Balasore, Mayurbhanj, Jagatsinghpur and Jajpur have been kept under active
response of NDRF teams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Amphan
Important planetary conjunctions are capable of producing
major geo-physical disturbances especially when mundane charts (e.g. ingress
charts) bring them to the angles. This is especially true if the conjunction
falls very close to the line of horizon i.e. the cusps of the first and seventh
houses, or of the meridian i.e. the cusps of the tenth and fourth houses. Of
these two lines, that of the meridian is more important; and that of the lower
meridian i.e. the cusp of the fourth house is the most important of all.
We are in the wake of two important planetary
conjunctions – the Jan 12 Saturn-Pluto conjunction [22 cp] and the April 4
Jupiter-Pluto conjunction [24 cp]. Pluto stationed retrograde on April 24 and
now Saturn and Jupiter have gone retrograde on May 11 and May 14 respectively.
Presented here is the chart for the Sun’s entry into sidereal Aries drawn for
Bhadrak, Orissa. The chart also applies to the other places mentioned in the
news as they are close by. Notice that the Aries Ingress chart has the
Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn conjunction powerfully placed on the IC (4th cusp), triggered by
the Saturn and Jupiter stations of May 11 and May 14 respectively.
Diana Rosenberg links the stars that form the backdrop to
the conjunction with “storms” and writes:
Stars of this set
were transited at the November New Moon of 1274 when Kublai Khan’s invasion
fleet headed for Japan ran into a storm that destroyed 200 ships and 13,500
troops; at the 1886 Winter Solstice that caused US midwest’s “Great Die-up” –
hundreds of thousands of cattle buried in blizzards died; in 1935 at the “worst
dust storm” of the US west and southwest drought; at the Jan 1996 Full Moon two
days before a massive blizzard broke records in NE states; during an April 1996
severe weather outbreak with 30 tornadoes in Illinois alone; in 1997 at one of
the highest surface winds ever recorded, 236 mph during Guam’s hurricane Paka;
at a Venus station retrograde in Dec 1997, 10 days before an ice storm hit
northeast US and Canada; at the Oct 1998 New Moon, the start of Category 5
Hurricane Mitch that devastated Central America and several others.
Finally, can it be a coincidence that the Sabian symbol for Saturn in
the Aries ingress chart is:
PHASE 302 (AQUARIUS 2°): AN UNEXPECTED THUNDERSTORM.
I remember our Québec Ice Storm!!
