Ceres: Roman goddess of food
There have been 16 major fires that have erupted at key food industry facilities in the U.S. since the beginning of 2022..Can anyone explain why absolutely massive fires just keep erupting again and again at critical facilities all over America? The tragic destruction by fire of the headquarters of Azure Standard in Oregon shocked millions of people, and since that news broke quite a few readers have been reaching out to me about the long string of unusual blazes that we have been witnessing from coast to coast in recent months. https://bit.ly/3Mt1DBM
If people really wanted to know the reason for the fires, they could try looking at the heavens. More specifically, I am referring to the upcoming solar eclipse of April 30. Here is the eclipse chart drawn for Washington DC. As always, we begin with looking at the planets brought to the angles. Here the dwarf planet Ceres [24ge] is placed prominently on the MC square Neptune [24pi] with both making a semi-square aspect to the eclipse [10ta].
A lesson that we learn early on in astrology is that if some factor occurs just once in any chart, it isn’t too important. However, if it occurs twice or thrice, we have a theme that we need to sit up and take notice. Here we find that the eclipse and Uranus in tropical Taurus are placed amid stars of King Cepheus who was also known as “inflammatus” by the Romans. Diana Rosenberg gives several examples of fires under these stars, too numerous to list here. Next we note that the eclipse is in Taurus - the sign associated with food. Moreover it is in hard aspect to the dwarf planet Ceres - the Roman goddess also linked to food [1].
Readers will recall, that the US Sibly is going through a Neptune opposition to the radix Neptune [22vi] and square radix Mars [21ge]. Ceres [24ge] in the eclipse chart is conjunct Sibly Mars (more exactly the precession corrected Mars [24ge48]). One simple manifestation of Mars-Neptune is “mysterious (Neptune) fires (Mars)”. The theme of fires doesn’t stop there. Both Sibly Mars and solar eclipse Ceres are conjunct the star El Nath. About this star Diana Rosenberg writes:
To Hindus, El Nath represented Agni, God of Fire, who also bore the title Hutabhuj, the Devourer of the Sacrifice, this is a star like Mars which at [17ge54] in 1666, William Lilly said had by precession reached the Ascendant of London; based on this he predicted danger to the city of a terrible fire: at any rate Mercury was here at the Solar Eclipse that preceded the Great Fire of London. This was Joan of Arc’s natal Pluto and the Sun was here in 1431 when she was burned at the stake. Other fire disasters with planets here include the 1194 destruction of the Cathedral of Notre Dame at Chartres; the huge 1838 Charleston SC fire that destroyed half the city; the New Orleans fire of 1788; the 1883 Newhall Hotel, Milwaukee fire; the 1903 Iroquois Theatre fire in Chicago that killed 602; the Great San Francisco quake and fire of 1906 that left more than 700 dead and the city a smoldering ruin and several others.

PS: The mythology of Ceres connects her to the fertility of agricultural lands and by association also to famines [2]. With the western sanction on Russia's export of fertilizers we begin to see how the Ceres eclipse is also pointing to worldwide food shortages.

Dave @MatchforR·
I've been monitoring this situation. I'm wondering your thoughts on whether the planetary forces are acting through nature, or acting on a small group of players with an agenda and the right technology? That would be natural too.
As early as 2018, Jamie in his article Uranus moves into Taurus: Radical Change in Food and Money [3], wrote about sudden and unexpected food shortages! Clearly the April 2022, solar eclipse conjunct Uranus has provided a window for the disruptive energy of Uranus to manifest. But the eclipse needed some human actors to act out its energy. And sure enough it found a cranky, eccentric President Biden [Sun opposite Uranus] whose natal Moon in Taurus [0ta59] was conjunct his Ceres/Saturn midpoint [0ta01] and who was going through progressed solar arc Ceres [10ge] (food) conjunct his natal Saturn [10ge] (shortage) to fulfill its agenda. With his natal Saturn [10ge] square the US Sibly Ceres [9pi] and conjunct Sibly Uranus [9ge] Biden was well placed to do the job assigned to him! All that this combination needed was a trigger that came in the form of the December 4, 2021 solar eclipse [12sa] that aligned with the Sibly horizon axis!
A look at the eclipse chart drawn for the midpoint of Washington DC and Moscow will now make a lot of sense. The eclipse [10ta] - Uranus [14ta] combination which threatens disruption to all security related issues (food/ money) is on the descendant and the asteroid Ophelia (counterproductive over-reaction) at [25vi] completes a T-square with Ceres [24ge] and Neptune [24pi] all linked to the eclipse. If you are wondering how the Neptune element factors in, think about impractical (idealistic?) actions perhaps based on misplaced sympathy for victims (Ukraine?) etc.
Adding some more detail are the stars Hamal and Sheratan which conjoin the eclipse.
Sheratan (β), Mesarthim (γ) and Hamal (α) of Aries form the head of the ram. Sheratan, the Beta star of the Ram, one of the horns, and Mesarthim, the mouth of the ram, impel applied force to change or for achievement. They support new beginnings, adventure, accomplishment and great rewards, but they are of opportunities that may quickly open and close, and thus require our immediate response to grasp them without hesitation when they occur. Mesarthim and Sheratan indicate a time to take action or to create change, but also provide a portent that headstrong or impulsive action driven from arrogant righteousness or adamant denial can lead one into the initiatory fires of life, failing to achieve our goals
