Atom Smashing and Astrology, a Collision between Science and Superstition



.....If astrology is relevant to an inanimate event, then it can claim to offer insights... right? It's certain none of the scientists actually chose the timing of the event in accordance with astrology principles. The idea that scientists would even look at newspaper horoscopes is almost laughable.

How shocking could a horoscope be for a scientific experiment?


On 30 March 2010, CERN successfully collided protons (called Higgs Bosons) in its Large Hadron Collider, near Geneva, in Switzerland. The European Center for Nuclear Research experiment has been called "Atom Smashers" or "The would-be finders of the God particle". They have tried to recreate a mini-Big Bang in order to understand how the universe started (and how come you and I are here...). It will take years to analyze all the scientific data. Meantime, the atoms collisions are scheduled to continue for another 18 to 24 months, and we, ordinary citizens, are left to wonder if the 2012 Maya prophecies are not just around the corner.

Science, Astrology and the Law of Attraction...

Science is certainly needed and it has brought many good results in the lives of people, many of whom have been saved thanks to modern imaging machines which come straight from physics and atoms research.

Looking at the photos of the conference room when all the CERN staff and media applauded, you could be led to believe that they practised the Law of Attraction on the protons by wishing them to collide. Yet, this CERN technological success looks as if it will validate some of the tenets of astrology, as you'll see below. Don't get too uneasy from the fear of being beamed up to some fixed star or nebulae, here is a peek at what the horoscope of the first proton collision looked like, just for fun! Mixing astrology and science is heady stuff but quite irresistible!

Atom-Smashers Charts

To draw the charts, I took the timeline from the CERN Twitter account, and the latitude and longitude extremely precisely. The other charts I have used for comparison are drawn with Wikipedia data. I have kept the orbs very small, to 1°, otherwise the charts look cluttered. And I've added more colors so everything is more "legible" and attractive. The charts are best viewed in full screen mode (F11).

The expectation in reading the charts was to find some astrological signs of technological success for the advancement of science and mankind, a peaceful message to humanity. There could not have been another chart describing exactly what the scientists have been trying to accomplish: a utopist, modern scientific physics experiment with electrons, hopes for better knowledge and potential advances in technology, medicine or the sciences, of benefit to people. Whether this will end up in joy is another matter.

Uranus - the Modernity Planet for science and mad scientists

Uranus rules sudden experiments, electricity and electronics, modern times and visionary methods, (mad) scientists and inventors, engineers, discoveries, astronomy and astrology.
It is firmly glued to the MC. It is strong, angular, in reception to Neptune its ruler and secondarily ruled by a strong Jupiter. It's in the sign of Pisces, showing a mystical sense, dreaming and possibly drowning in scientific illusions or the unquenchable thirst in the pursuit of a technological Graal. It may be relevant to advances in the medical field for the world at large.

In the tenth house, it may show sudden demise, brutal changes in direction and unexpected events. It may impart some confusion with the motivation and ultimate goals of the experiment. As an aside, it may concern aircraft, aerospace, ships or submarines, nuclear fuels, laser beams. The planet is unfortunately applying to a square to Pluto, soon to happen between Aries and Capricon. Aries' meaning of new starts in this context is not necessarily for the better since a square of the heavies is involved.

Saturn – Order and the Chronos planet

It is strong, exalted and angular in the IVth in Libra. It rules regulations, discipline, stability and a sense of duty, governments, mainstream research and traditional scientists. It's a co-ruler of Neptune in Aquarius, lending some direction to dispersed thinking. It applies to the square of Pluto in the sixth in Capricorn, which it rules. Hopefully, Saturn will beat Pluto at the goal post, because that square is really not very good and will be complete during the next few months while the experiments continue. After all, a collision of particles is still a collision, not a tender and loving embrace.

Pluto – the Transformer through Sex, War or Death

A ruler of destruction, the underground, pollution and sewage, hidden regeneration after annihilation. Pluto signs the geography of the location, a circular tunnel underneath earth, being reigned in by orderly (Saturn) scientists (Uranus). Pluto, which is the epitome of nuclear power, sits in Capricorn in the VIth, and though it is weak in this position, it still has enough strength to put chaos into an orderly society. It may well do so towards 2012 to 2015 when it will be in a square to Uranus in Aries. It is subservient to Saturn though, so despite any damage it might do, Saturn would put some order to this by trying to break and control Pluto.

Neptune – planet of Dreamers , Seers and Illusions

It rules mystical ideas and watery projects, extracts the finer essence behind things. It is in Aquarius in the secretive VIIIth of death and regeneration of humanity (Aquarius). Money from the many governments with research capabilities being spent on a utopist project? Or, if one pushes the VIIIth symbolism in Aquarius a little far, death of scientific experiments and, hopefully, not death of people. Neptune is conjunct Chiron, giving on the whole a relatively peaceful attitude, and plenty of money to spare for this project (whether wisely or not?). Both Neptune and Chiron are semi-sextile (exactly) to Uranus at the MidHeaven and sextile Venus in Aries, which confirms the financial power of this venture.

Ascendant rises in Cancer, a sign which speaks about roots, where we seek refuge

The scientists are certainly trying to find the roots of our existence. So the position is appropriate. The Moon is posited in the IVth in Libra, just after a full Moon and after a Saturn conjunction. It has no aspect of note - a witness to a fleeting joy but not to tangible results. In the first house sits Mars in Leo, just direct after several months of retrogradation and growing strong. It's applying to a Pluto quincunx and past a sextile to Saturn.

Jupiter – the Great Benefic, the Intellectual Expanse

It rules wealth and status as well as intellectual pursuits. One would have expected to find it in a very obvious position considering the goals, but it's almost hidden from view by the shadows from the Xth and VIIIth, it's in the IXth in Pisces. It might hide a little, but on second glance, it is extremely strong, because it's exalted both by sign and by house. There's a lot of money spent for the experiment, and the avowed goal is a peaceful one. Pisces Jupiter is peaceful, financially stable, conformist and reaching higher spheres. Sun, Mercury and Venus are all in Aries in the Xth, signing this success.

God particle or Hell pit?

The quantum physics experiment has a characteristic signature with the planets well adequate to describe it the way it has been written up by the press.
All is not good in the charts, apart from the financials. The rest is very combative, struggles abound in this chart. In fact, it looks almost like the chart of a war victory before many more battles. Considering electrons and electricity are intimately linked to nuclear power - after all the Center doing this research has "nuclear" in its name – a little research into the other layers in the charts brought up to light that some of the hidden motivation behind this project is not just tender loving care for humanity.

Surely this experiment could have many applications in warfare. This is confirmed in the chart with the above mentioned positions, but a definite answer to this is seen with the comparison with two other, well-known charts, that of
  • the first atomic bomb test, the Trinity Test on 16 July 1945, 11h39m45s UT, 33°40'38"N 106°28'31W

    and

  • the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, on 6 August 1945, 8h15m57s (Japan War Time, +9h), 34°23'07"N 132°27'19"E

Big Bang Astrology

Wow, look at all the charts together! If this comparison does not show the warring intents of some party, I don't know what does. So it does look like that this experiment is not only a path to the discovery of the start of the Universe.

Black hole discoveries loom ahead...
If climate change does not steam up our Earth
If military mad men do not explode it first!

The press has reported that the experiments will continue, the experts themselves state they do not know what they might find, what may be the consequences of these experiments. They are going to increase the speed of the beams to have more particles collide. Before looking at the charts, my view of CERN was that carried by the mainstream media: a peaceful search for the roots of Earth's existence.
I am not so convinced now. Or, at least, even if the scientists do find something of worth explaining our tenancy on the blue marble, there are ulterior motives.
Not to worry too much though, 'coz if they explode our planet with a black hole, we won't even feel it! Or we might get interesting times after finding ourselves beamed up to some exoplanet having to climb up to eat leaves or berries to survive!

Beautiful pictures of the 2010 Iceland Volcano Eruption in MARCH

Following my article on the astrology of Iceland and its newly erupted volcano, here are a few links with some beautiful pictures. It does look like the volcano is just snoring and not keen to wake up its bigger brother Katla. Let's hope it continues like that and it finally gets back to some peaceful sleep!


Below are two magnificent pictures by NASA's Earth Observatory, and further down you'll find other links to stunning images.

All of my readers, please be careful when traveling to visit this volcano. Today, there's been a report of a small plane crash at the side of the volcano, article by Ice News. Thankfully, I understand no-one has been injured.






As to the more mundane subject of this blog, which is astrology, the President of Iceland, Mr. Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson was born on 14 May 1943 in Ísafjörður, North West Iceland (66°04′33″N 23°07′36″W), but I don't have a time of birth. He was reelected for the 5th term on 1 August 2008 with no challenger and took office on 3 August 2008.

His personal astrology chart shows well his unusual character as described in Wikipedia, but as far as the volcano is concerned, there's not much to worry about on that count, his personal astrological chart is barely afflicted. If astrology is about 80% good, then this volcano is unlikely to mark this presidency. Since the charts are not very revealing with respect to Nature's whims, those who may want the chart drawings are welcomed to send me a little note or comment and I'll post these further below as and when time allows.

Astrology of the Iceland Volcano



Volcanic Eruption in Iceland is no Threat


On Saturday, 20 March 2010, at 23h34m GMT, at 63°38'24" and 19°27'W the volcano started an eruption. Initially thought to be located under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, it was finally located at Fimmvörðuháls, a popular walking and touristic region of Iceland. An evacuation of local people wasordered and completed towards 5 am. Roads were closed. A authorities will review the situation as it develops. A Google translation in Icelandic is provided here: Google Translation Iceland Volcano
The eruption started just before midnight, between Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, and increased during the night, particularly early morning between 7 and 8 am. There had been an increase in earthquake activity in the recent weeks, at a depth of 7-10 kilometers. Scientists have expressed surprise with the earthquakes that accompanied the eruption. This Eyjafjallajökull volcano has only twice before erupted in 1612 and 1821 to 1823.

All known eruptions in Eyjafjallajökull have been in connection with eruptions in the neighboring volcano Katla underneath the Mýrdalsjökull icecap. Now that Eyjafjallajökull has started to erupt, Katla might follow. UPDATE 23.03.2010 There's an impressive video of the activity at the volcano, shot today by scientists on a helicopter trip to the scene.
Initial fears were that the volcano hot lava might melt the glacier or cause a gigantic explosion with the interaction of fire and ice. Later review on Sunday by scientists showed this unlikely, unless the eruption were to spread along a fault line. A plume of ash and smoke blew W and NW due to easterly winds, and planes were diverted around the area. There are worried geophysicists however, as this volcano has not before erupted alone, but in conjunction with its neighbor. UPDATE 23.03.2010 A good source of news is the Iceland Review Online.

Astrology and Nature in Motion...


Below is the astrological analysis of the event, complete with both geocentric and heliocentric chart for the time and location of the erupting volcano, and with Iceland's geo and helio charts. Though at first glance the volcano eruption seems innocuous enough, a look at the transits of this chart on the Iceland National chart is worrying. Hoping for the best, as there are many mitigating aspects, but still, scientists had better watch that volcano pretty carefully.
Since this is a precisely timed and well located event, the orbs have been set at 1°30' because the chart is quite busy with many aspects under 3° and the chart looks cluttered.
Astrological Geocentric Chart Iceland Volcano Eruption 2010

On analysis of the geocentric astro chart, one will see Neptune and Chiron almost exactly conjoined the IC. This certainly explains the flooding fears. Although an accurate timing has been provided, one ought to bear in mind that there were plenty of earthquakes in the days before the eruption. One cannot dismiss the possibility that the causative event was Neptune exactly conjoined the IC moments earlier than the chart. Sun applies from the cusp of the IVth to Vth houses, to the opposition of Saturn. Scientists say there will be no melting of the glacier unless the eruption spreads along the faults. Very soon after the aspect, Sun also applies to both Pluto and Ceres by square. On the other hand and keeping optimistic, Mars and Uranus are relatively neutral in the chart, even if the latter is posited in the IVth.
The Moon was void of course at the time of the event. In the words of William Lilly, a VOC Moon means "Nothing will come of it". The separating parallel of declination between Moon and Mars shows some suddeness of the volcano's behavior. North Node Rahu and Vesta are in parallel and graphically describe where the fire and hearth are: along a fault (an axis).
The list of separating parallels of declinations in the preceding day also includes Mercury and Saturn, a contraparallel between Mercury and Uranus. Applying and fortunate are the Jupiter Juno contraparallel and the one between Venus and Chiron. Scientists though should beware of an applying Saturn contraparallel Uranus early in the morning of the 23rd of March 2010, although that is also followed by fairly quiet and mitigating aspects.

This book describes the biological succession and geological changes which have since occurred since 1980 at Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. It's an example of the interdependence of all plant and animal life. How the Earth itself creates new environments for living things which in turn reshape the Earth is demonstrated visually as well as verbally. The captioned high-quality color photographs are well-integrated with the text, superbly illustrating the written material.

While most medieval women didn't stray far from home, the Viking Gudrid (985–1050) probably crossed the North Atlantic eight times. Gudrid may have been the explorer on North American expeditions with two different husbands. Here are glimpses of Gudrid in the medieval Icelandic sagas which recount that her father, a chieftain with money problems, refused to wed Gudrid to a rich but slave-born merchant; instead he swapped their farm for a ship and a new life in Greenland.


Astrological Heliocentric Chart Iceland Volcano Eruption 2010


The heliocentric horoscope is also peaceful apart from an applying conjunction from Earth to Saturn. The helio chart benefits from a plethora of good aspects in helio longitudes, both before and after the event. A separating yod between Pluto, Juno and Pallas, may have mostly to do with inconvenience and some financial loss. Venus is exalted and makes a perfect (separating) quincunx with Ceres showing the tranquillity and beauty of this area, where tourists go.
Mercury and Venus are parallel, and both are contraparallel to Saturn and Ceres. The Saturn-Ceres connection may show destruction of crops, pasture land. Some agricultural destruction could be seen with the applying Venus-Mars contraparallel and that of Mars Ceres. The chart shows no sign of critical loss of life or huge financial damage. Pluto and Vesta, "the fires of the earth stomach" are also in a parallel of latitude, and well illustrate this eruption, fire coming out of the entrails of the earth, with Vesta being the keeper of the hearth



Astrological Geocentric Chart for the Independence of Iceland


Iceland has a rising sign in Libra at 2°38' and MC in Cancer at 4°12'. Iceland's chart shows very exactly how shaken it has been in the last two years, with heavy transits by Pluto to the vicinity of its IC, the opposition to its Venus and Sun and Saturn, the three of them in the IXth (the financial crisis came from abroad for Iceland).
With a Saturn transit through Leo and Virgo, that certainly was not helping. Now Saturn is arriving, from the XIIth, to the Ascendant and it is crushing it beneath its feet. The last movement of Saturn on the Ascendant of Iceland may give this country some more reasons to cry. Thankfully, once this is past, there's only the Pluto conjuncting the IC to contend with, together with the Uranus transit to the square of its Saturn. As a volcanic country, it should pay particular attention to such volcano disasters, earthquakes so long as Pluto transit lasts. Who knows, as Pluto has a reputation for rebirth, it may even happen to Iceland to acquire a new volcanic island as it did in 1963. All in all, another two or three years or so of difficulties, after which Iceland should fare well. Hopefully, nothing too drastic will happen in the next few days and weeks, as Iceland certainly does not need a disaster right now.



Astrological Heliocentric Chart for the Independence of Iceland


A remarkable transit by Mars to the exact conjunction of radical Jupiter (within 3 minutes of arc) in the heliocentric chart times the volcano eruption. Jupiter in transit is also applying to the opposition of radical Mars. Of note, transiting Pluto is square radical Neptune and one could think of muds caused by internal fires. The square between transiting Earth and radical Saturn was exact a few hours before the eruption, at 18h21m40s, at the same time as transiting Earth also applies to transiting Saturn.
The opposition between transiting Ceres and Uranus was also exact within a few hours. The transiting Mercury in Aries sextile Pallas in Gemini is exact just for the moment of the end of the evacuation of the people along the slopes of this volcano. This evacuation was conducted swiftly. As I have noted in other posts, one cannot be sure whether to use houses in helio charts, however, I often see some coincidence between the angles and planets in helio charts. here one can see the transiting MC of the volcano eruption making an absolutely exact sextile to Saturn at 23h32m44s, for en eruption which we are told took place at 23h34m! Certainly more research is warranted in this area.

Today's edition of the Times Online has quite a dramatic article on a possible second eruption which could cause devastation. This is based on the previous occurrences where, whenever this one volcano erupted, the one next to it also did. One may or not be convinced by the sensationalism of the article, but the facts are quite complete and it's worth a read if only for this.

More about Iceland...

Some of nature's most spectacular phenomena get the ``Eyewitness'' treatment, with the gorgeous graphics and outstanding design that characterize this series. As usual, coverage is primarily visual, with brief introductory text and informative captions. The account starts with an overall perspective showing how volcanoes and earthquakes occur, with related events like steam vents and boiling mud. Effects on humans and attempts to measure and predict these events are treated. Even volcanism on other planets (mostly their moons) is shown. The striking photographs include a shot of a Philippine town dusted by Mount Pinatubo; the people's colorful clothes clash with the ashy whitness covering all the houses and the ash-darkened sky. In another spread the ash cloud from Mount St. Helens can be seen rushing down the mountainside in three successive photos.


Lastly, if you want to dream again about travels to the centre of the Earth, why not buy (or buy again), Jules Vernes book, a classic? If not for you, then get it for your children or your nieces or nephews. Follow the trail of the professor, his nephew and the guide from an Icelandic volcano through the Earth to being thrown out by the mouth of the Stromboli in Italy.

Horoscope Astrology Charts of the February 2010 Chile Earthquake located near Maule Bio-Bio South of Concepción and Santiago



The Chilean Earthquake of February 2010 is the worst since 1960, with 8.8 magnitude. Horoscope Astrological Geocentric and Heliocentric Charts are shown in this article. Click here for this same post in Spanish - Haga clic aquí para leer el artículo sobre el Terremoto de Chile de 2010 - en español


Below are the astrological charts for the Maule Bio-Bio Region of Chile where the huge 2010 Earthquake occurred in the middle of the night. This was the largest earthquake in Chile since 1960. It happened 325 km from the capital city, Santiago, and the resort towns of Valparaiso and Viña del Mar, and 115 km of Concepción, the second largest town of the country. The strength of this earthquake is even larger than the 2004 Indonesia Earthquake. Although the 2010 Chile earthquake triggered a tsunami around all the Pacific Ocean, it was a small tsunami which gave very little damage to the coastal regions of other countries. However, Chile's coastal areas have been badly damaged. The aftershocks are very strong and still being felt as this article is written. Such megathrust earthquakes are part of Chile's history.

Casualties and damages by the Chilean 2010 Earthquake

At the time of writing, there are a few hundreds dead, 2 million homes are damaged. It may well be that destruction is higher than is presently known, as 40% of the Chilean population live in the Greater Santiago area. Though the number of casualties may rise when more information is available, there is no doubt that the anti-earthquake building regulations helped save lives. As in the 2010 Haiti EarthQuake, desperate people without food or water have tried to loot damaged supermarkets. Prisoners in a jail south of Santiago escaped. Since Chile has a strong economy and an overall good structure, it is likely it will recover from this giant earthquake, in contrast to the Haitian EarthQuake which occurred in a desperately poor and disorganized country. One item of note: Chile is a world producer of copper - expect prices to rise for a while under the pressure of the hungry banksters, and get your plumbing supplies as soon as possible. If you can't, then delay your plumbing works for a few weeks until the situation in the mines is back to normal.

Geocentric Astrology Chart - 2010 Chile Earthquake

The geocentric astrology chart is remarkable with Saturn almost exactly conjunct the MidHeaven. The exact conjunctions between Mercury, Neptune and Chiro in Aquarius is also quite formidable. This treble conjunction is in the 2nd house, hinting at the great costs this earthquake will have on the country. The event occurred just before a Full Moon across the 2nd and 8th houses of the horoscope. The greater benefic, Jupiter, is dignified as ruler of Pisces, and is conjunct and parallel the Sun; it also rules the XIIth, and governs Venus and Uranus. These positions may explain the small amount of casualties. The axis North-South Node (Rahu/Ketu) is across the Asc/Dsc axis and shows fate at work. Moon is contraparallel Lilith and Neptune, and the latter two are parallel each other. This may explain the resulting tsunami. Uranus is contraparallel Juno. I often find Juno or other asteroids in some significant position in outstanding events, though the exact astrological significance of this I am not entirely sure. The orbs are very tight in this chart, at 1°20' although I have used up to 2° for the various companion charts. One hint at the sheer strength of this earthquake is given by the exact parallel of declination between Sun and Jupiter. Moon and Neptune are also exactly contraparallel. Juno is once again involved with Uranus with a contraparallel and the same is true between Pallas and Chiron.

Heliocentric Astrology Chart of the Chile 2010 Earthquake

Neptune and Chiron are exactly conjoined. The last time this happened was on 13 July 1945, in the same region, and resulted in an earthquake with magnitude 7.7. This may hint at the strength of this earthquake. The Neptune-Juno square is also exact. Pluto and Vesta are exactly parallel. Mercury and Chiron are contraparallel. Saturn is parallel Ceres. Again, asteroids making a strong angle and for which there is a need for further research. There's a square between Uranus and the Galactic Center. Some astrologers see the Galactic Center as significant for earthquakes. Jupiter is contraparallel Mars, which explains the violence of the earthquake. Jupiter being a greater benefic has nevertheless a benevolent nature and has probably spared the worst, even in this position. Uranus, Neptune and the Earth are parallel and these aspects may last a long time, so it is possible that more other gigantic earthquakes happen in the next few months and years.


(Article UPDATED 7 March 2010)

Michelle Bachelet, President of Chile, where her horoscope is also heavily afflicted, both in geocentric and heliocentric dimensions.
Michelle Bachelet, Natal Birth Charts

Data: 29 September 1951, 00h30, Santiago de Chile

<--- Geocentric Chart
Her geocentric astrology birth chart exchanges the location of the MC-IC axis with the EarthQuake MC-IC axis. Not only is she also experiencing her second Saturn return, but the transiting Saturn conjoinded to the MC of the EarthQuake chart is therefore also conjoining her IC - which goes some way in explaining why she finishes her term of office now. The triple conjunction of the earthquake, Mercury, Neptune and Chiron, are opposing her radical Mars exactly. Transiting Pluto is almost exactly square her Saturn. Jupiter is conjoining her North Node, Uranus is barely past the opposition to her natal Mercury whilst applying to a square to her Chiron, transiting node is applying to the square of her Neptune. Transiting Sun is exactly parallel her Uranus, and there are a few other parallels of declination which mark a stressful time.


Heliocentric Chart --->
In the heliocentric charts, transiting Venus is exactly opposing her Saturn, while making an exact conjunction to her Earth. The EarthQuake Pluto is transiting to the conjunction of her Chiron and to the almost exact square of her Saturn and Earth. There are a few trines in the chart, so she will be able to put in place sufficient structures to enable Chile to recover from this tragic earthquake, although she may be criticised for not evaluating all of the consequences of the earthquake straight away.

And the charts of the time she was sworn in office are also terrible. Michelle Bachelet's Inauguration Geo Chart (Government Chart) - Data: 11 March 2006, 12h14m pm, Santiago de Chile


<--- Geocentric Chart
The day and time Michelle Bachelet was sworn in as President is also a significant chart of the Government of Chile. Its time is precisely known. The MC conjoined retrograde Saturn of the Earthquake chart is barely past the opposition of the inauguration of Michelle Bachelet. Jupiter of the Earthquake chart, conjoined the Sun, is applying to the square of Mars in the inauguration chart at the same time it is conjunct Uranus. The Pluto transit in Capricorn is just past the square of the Nodes axes. The treble conjunction of Mercury, Neptune and Chiron in the earthquake chart is very angular in the Xth of the inauguration chart and this is true of the whole stellium of the earthquake. The planets of this earthquake are applying extreme power on this government and making it weak, which is fitting the case well anyway as this goverment ends on 11 March 2010. In the geocentric chart, there's an exchange between the IIIrd of the Inauguration and the VIIth of the Earthquake chart, with a close conjunction of the North South Node axis across Cancer and Capricorn, which may explain why the Chilean Navy (Cancer) failed to use its authority (Capricorn) to give proper warning (IIIrd) of the impending/advancing (Mars) tsunami on the Chilean coasts. Chile has now sacked its head of the Navy's Oceanography Service for failure to give timely accurate info.

Michelle Bachelet's Inauguration Helio Chart (Government Chart) --->
Transiting Jupiter is applying to the conjunction of Uranus, explaining some of the aftershocks. Uranus in transit is still within a 2° orb of the square to Pluto of the Inauguration chart. The Mercury Venus square times the chart. There are, again as in the geocentric chart, some mitigating good aspects, thankfully, and these go in favor of Chile recovering from this tragedy, and also show the number of deaths was limited.

This is all very interesting!

Finally, the charts of the country, Chile, are also afflicted - Chile's National Geocentric Horoscope - Data: 18 de Septiembre de 1810, 10h00, Santiago de Chile

Chile's horoscope is precisely known. There are seriously bad aspects received by this chart by the earthquake transits. In Chile's birth chart, Mars at 25°29' is precisely joined to the Midheaven at 24°33' of Leo. This conjunction is attacked by the treble conjunction between Mercury, Neptune and Chiron in the IVth at 26°07'-26°57' in Aquarius. Here also, this very angular treble conjunction of transit Mercury, Neptune and Chiron in the IC of the country's chart, to the opposition of radical Mars in Chile's horoscope is very troubling. Not only this transit showed the possiblity of an earthquake, but it does also hint at domestic troubles, with poor people not being satisfied of their lot. Had there not been an earthquake, this end of an era was shown in the transits and probably desperate poor people would have voiced their discontent loudly.

The transiting Sun and Jupiter conjunction were square to Saturn and Neptune of the country's chart, also indicating discontent with government structures and social progress. Transiting Pluto was square the radical Nodes, so a fateful destructive event was about to engulf the country. The North Node of the earthquake chart is exactly square Mercury in the Chile birth chart. Sun conjunct Jupiter in the earthquake chart are Saturn and Neptune in the Chile's horoscope. In the parallels of declination, Jupiter is parallel to Chiro, Saturn to Juno, Mercury to Uranus. Uranus is contraparallel the Sun and Juno. Neptune is contraparallel Mars.


Chile's National Heliocentric Horoscope --->
The heliocentric charts display similarly difficult aspects. As timers, Pluto in the earthquake chart is exactly conjunct Mercury in Chile's chart. The earthquake Earth in opposition to Jupiter is making an exact T-square to Chile's radical Neptune - Earth - Big - Water... and transiting Mars has just passed the square to Jupiter. In the latitudes, there is a timer again with Mercury exactly contraparallel Chiron, separating within one hour of the earthquake. Mars is parallel Mars, Neptune and Saturn. Saturn is contraparallel Mars and Uranus is parallel Jupiter.

Horoscope Astrology Charts of the 4 March 2010 Chinese Taipei Taiwan Earthquake



The Chinese Taipei Taiwan Earthquake of 4 March 2010 has been estimated at a magnitude of between 6.3 to 6.8, and a strong aftershock moments later, with possibly some damage at the time of writing. Horoscope Astrological Geocentric and Heliocentric Charts are shown in this article.


Below are the preliminary astrological charts for the Chinese Taipei Taiwan Earthquake which occurred early morning in the South of the Island. This is just a short approach as it's the middle of the night where I'm writing this - more in a few days.

Casualties and damages by the Taiwan March 2010 Earthquake
At the time of writing, barely a few moments after the earthquake, one does not know the exact extent and possible damage. When more is known, I'll update this article.

Geocentric Astrology Chart - March 2010 Taiwan Earthquake

The geocentric astrology chart is remarkable with the very same stellium comprised within 30° across Aquarius and Pisces, this time in the XIth house. The Nodes of Fate are sitting across the MC-IC axis, with Mars well into the IVth. Uranus is coming close to the square of the Center of the Galaxy, which some astrologers consider significant for earthquakes. Venus is exactly conjunct Uranus also.  The orbs are very tight in this chart, at 2°. Come back for a more thorough analysis in a few days' time.

Heliocentric Astrology Chart of the Taiwan March 2010 Earthquake

As was the case for the Chile 2010 Great Earthquake, Neptune and Chiron are still exactly conjoined.  Mercury is exactly sextile Venus.

Note all the related charts for this earthquake, for which I'll add a small commentary or perhaps an additional post in the next few days:

The country chart for Chinese Taipei, Taiwan, 25 December 1947 at 00h00, in Taipei. When comparing the geocentric charts note the transit of Saturn to the Ascendant of Taiwan's chart, Pluto angular in its IVth house. The helio charts also show troubling coincidences: Venus just past the opposition of Neptune, Jupiter conjunct Venus. Mercury is applying to the opposition of Pluto. Pluto is exactly inconjunct Mars, and theres an exact Jupiter-Jupiter square. Saturn is applying to the square of the Earth. Amazingly, if you keep the houses in the helio chart, you find Pluto exactly conjunct the IC of Taipei's horoscope (and opposite the Earth). I'll detail these charts later, as there's more to describe.
