Pleaides cluster and the Pakistan floods

 

Pleaides: Arabic name Al Thurayya, meaning 'Abundance'



Record monsoons in Pakistan have forced "a third of the country" underwater, according to Sherry Rehman, the country's country’s climate change minister. Rehman said of her country, which is about 340,000 square miles: “It's all one big ocean, there’s no dry land to pump the water out." https://bit.ly/3TwvgXx

 


 

There are at least two ways employed by astrologers to understand events affecting a nation. The first one is to look at charts for mundane charts e.g. ingress, lunation, eclipses etc drawn for the nation’s capital. The other method is to look at the national chart and its derivates e.g. progressions, solar, lunar etc. 

Pakistan’s national chart (14th August, 1947; 9:30 am, Karachi) is based on its independence from colonial rule. Shown here is Pakistan’s current lunar return chart. Weather related disasters are mostly shown by the 4th house. Here we have a Mars-Uranus-North Node conjunction on the 4th house cusp. Readers will recall that in several previous posts we have discussed disasters “caused” by the powerful Mars-Uranus-North Node- Saturn T-square in August. Although this T-square is now separating since it falls on the angles at Islamabad, its effect will be felt very strongly in Pakistan. Moreover the 4th house cusp - IC [2ge] is conjunct Mars [2ge] and placed amid stars of the Pleaides which have a well known connection to heavy rains! 

Extracts from references explain the connection of Pleaides to rains and deluge. 

Abundant crops and green pastures were attributed to these “Rainy Stars”. They were also connected with traditions of the Flood found among widely separated nations. Their name bears an etymological relationship to the Greek words: pleiôn, meaning “plenty” from pleos, ‘full or many’ from the Indo-European word pel[e]-¹, “to fill”.....[1] 

The Pleiades are among the first stars positively identified in astronomical literature, with references as early as the 3rd millennium BC when Alcyone would have marked the vernal equinox ....the stars were believed to have a strong influence upon the waters, being known as 'the sailor's stars'...Others consider it originates from the term meaning 'full', 'many' or 'plural' and a derivative Arabic name Al Thurayya, meaning 'Abundance', was argued by Al-Biruni to refer to both their appearance and to the effect that their attendant rain had upon the crops.
