Uranus in Taurus



A large blast in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, has killed at least 70 people and injured more than 4,000 others, the health minister says.

The monthly rhythm of the Lunation Cycle starting with the New Moon is perhaps the most important planetary cycle. The ancients were well aware of this natural cycle, and planned and executed important activities according to its rhythm. While a New Moon or a Full Moon  is a worldwide event, its message is felt strongly at those places where it falls in the angles…especially in the  Gauquelin sectors[1] of a mundane chart. The Gauquelin sectors cover ten degrees of the zodiac on both sides of the  ascendant and the  Midheaven.

The chart for the August 3 Full Moon at Beirut has it powerfully placed in the angles. The Full Moon is sharply square Uranus [10ta]. Taurus is the sign associated with the fertility of agricultural land and often depicted by the Bull. According to news reports, the explosion took place in an Ammonium nitrate warehouse in the port city.

Ammonium nitrate is a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. Its other major use is as a component of explosive mixtures used in mining, quarrying, and civil construction [2].

In astrology, Uranus is linked to disruption, chaos and the breakdown of the existing order. Often its action is seen in an explosion or blast that destroys existing structures.

Moreover, Uranus is currently in the Bharani Nakshatra of Vedic astrology which is associated with destruction and demolition[3].

Readers can now put the pieces together. Activated by the Full Moon, Uranus (explosion) destroys a warehouse full of  Ammonium nitrate (fertilizer..Taurus).

Writing about Uranus in Taurus, astrologer Fay [4] explains:


There can be crises in the production of the everyday necessities of life particularly in the farming, fishing and food production industries, disasters, uprisings and strikes in such areas leading to disruptions in the supply of goods and food shortages. This can bring a greater awareness of how methods such as monoculture, industrial agriculture and farming, are causing destruction to nature, soil degeneration and desertification, due to their need for land clearance and intense use of toxic pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilisers. It is a time for the shattering of old fashioned methods and a movement towards new more enlightened methods which bring radical changes to the way things are produced.
