Mundane Astrology is the application of astrology to world affairs and world events, taking its name from the Roman word Mundus, meaning "the World". Among the horoscopes used are those of eclipses, ingresses, lunations, exact planetary aspects etc. Like in any other branch of astrology, the four angles created by the horizon and meridian are of paramount importance. The four important angles on a chart are the Ascendant (cusp of the 1st house) Descendant (cusp of the 7th house), Midheaven (cusp of the 10th house) and IC (cusp of the 4th house). Planets and star constellations aligned with these angles always leave their mark on events.
A chart for the upcoming lunar eclipse of 8th Nov. at Dhaka, Bangladesh has it placed very significantly on the Ascendant as part of a T-square with Saturn-Uranus that straddles the horizon. The eclipse and the Ascendant are part of the Arabic lunar mansion Al-Sharatain [03ta 28 to 21ta07].
Arabs said Al Sharatain brought “whirlwinds:” These stars were transited at a Bay of Bengal cyclone that hit Calcutta in 1864, killing 50,000; the 1881 Haifong China cyclone (thousands died) and the Canton typhoon of 1862, a huge cyclone hit Ganges delta in 1970 killing 300,000 – 500,000; the 1999 tornadoes that hit Oklahoma and Kansas. This was Mars at a 1992 solar eclipse, two months before Hurricane Andrews devastated Florida and at 2005 perigee Full Moon before Hurricane Katrina demolished New Orleans; Jupiter at the 1928 Lake Okeechobee hurricane that killed 5000; at a 1703 solar eclipse at the height of a savage hurricane that devastated southern England; at the Great Hurricane of 1780 that completely flattened islands of the West Indies; at the 1926 Great Miami Hurricane, “one of the most destructive in the 20th century”; when the Great New England Hurricane of 1938 hit without warning and at a Bombay storm and tidal wave in 1882 that killed 100,000.

Cyclone Sitrang battered parts of Bangladesh on Monday, Oct. 25th - the very day of the solar eclipse in Scorpio. Eclipses are typically times of endings and beginnings simultaneously weaving together, even more so when they churn thel waters of Scorpio. The zodiacal sign Scorpio amplifies regenerative processes when we penetrate deep into dynamics, dissolving the places we have become fixated or stuck and allowing for a more essential form to coagulate out of the dissolution. Myth reminds us that creation always emerges out of destruction, eros out of chaos, and that the arising of creative new forms also necessitate the dissolution of the old.
