Horoscope-Astrology Plane Crash Schiphol Amsterdam




Preliminary information for a plane crash at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport today 25 February 2009 at approximately 10.31 am CET Latitude: 52° 18' 31" N (deg min sec), 52.3086° (decimal), Longitude: 4° 45' 50" E (deg min sec), 4.7639° (decimal), more details to come soon, watch this space.

Crash 3 km north of Schiphol Airport, 135 passengers including crew, at least 50 injured, 9 dead, no fire, some passengers were able to walk out of the plane

Plane was about to land, was coming from Istanbul (Turkey), broke into 3 pieces in a field near a highway. This was flight TK1951 which had left Istanbul airport at 08h22 local (GMT-2). According to Xinhua news, the plane crashed at about10h40 local (GMT-1). Other news report a crashing time of 08h23. Another news source report the plane crashed at 10.31 and the first Tweet was made at 10.37. (Source: The astrology chart above reflects this new information.

UPDATE March 3, 2009
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a link on breath-taking video animations built on the basis of witnesses statements, on how the plane crashed. There are three videos showing different views. http://www.worldbulletin.net/news_detail.php?id=37561

As for the exact reasons of the crash, they are still unknown. Possible explanations are engine failure and/or turbulence. The turbulence theory is interesting in view of the chart for a crash timed at 10.31 - the window of time concerning this is about 1 to 3 minutes previous to the crash. This latter explanation also involved misunderstood or undelivered instructions by the control tower. It is expected that further information on initial findings will be provided by tomorrow 4 March 2009.

For a chart drawn at the same latitude and longitude, but an earlier time of 10h28m10s, that is 1 minute and 50 seconds previous to the alleged time of the crash, the MidHeaven is located at exactly 0° Aquarius. Now, one can obviously debate the accuracy of such times, the fact that it must have taken a few seconds for the plane to break apart and the rounding off errors of software; yet this is intriguing.









UPDATED on 3 May 2010


The preliminary report of the investigation of the crash has been published as well as a press release describing the facts in brief. According to this report, the crash occurred at 10h26m, remarkably close to the time I had first guessed at. This places the MC at 29°29' Capricorn, the ASC at 3°05 Gemini, Fortuna at 6°54 Gemini. It places a quincunx between Pluto and ASC exact at...10h25m29s. This is also remarkable! It actually saved most of the passengers. The sesquiquadrate between Moon and Vertex is also exact at 10h25m56s and the square from Sun to Fortuna is exact at 10h26m02s. I hope that when the final report is produced, we will obtain times exact to the second and I would not be surprised to find out that the chart should be rectified accordingly to a few seconds before 10h26m!

While looking for more information, I found this interesting article on "How to survive a plane crash". There obviously have been a few people in this doomed plane that were able to use some of the advice provided in this article.

Staff Hired by Zodiac sign


Here is an article about an Austrian insurance company which wants to hire staff based on their astrological sign:  http://tinyurl.com/b6rj6v
(Credit: butterflyhaikus on Twitter)
 
The company says it has done statistics in-house and found the best workers to be Capricorn, Taurus, Aquarius, Aries and Leo.

That's 5/12th of the zodiac, almost half of it... Could the world be divided roughly in half? The first half that works well, the second half consisting of neer-do-wells?

How will they distribute office space? Give one office for a lone Aquarius, dump Taurus and Capricorn together, and Aries and Leo together. Or, at a pinch, they could put Aquarius with Aries, but that would leave Leo on his own. Unless the company is pretty good at allocating office space, the profit margin is going to dwindle to zero.

Why not go a step further and fire the other sun signs, I ask you? I'd like to see how the company could be doing without the perhaps less obviously productive but diligent and behind-the-shadows workers belonging to the other signs of the Zodiac.

It's one thing being aware of one's colleague or boss sun-sign and adapt one's behavior to it, and it's quite another to hire only specific sun signs. Perhaps one should tell this company that since many Pisces are angry with maths, it should not have wanted to hire Albert Einstein who was Pisces?

Seriously, I know my astro, my sun signs, their strengths and weaknesses, but I do believe they should hire a decent astrologer to do detailed analyses of the prospective staff to hire and not base their recruiting campaign on signs alone.

I wonder what sun sign is the CEO for this company?

Aries Horoscope February 2009


__________________________________________________________________

That's for people with the sun in Aries and it means you are an Aries and you were born between March 21 and April 20. The forecast is also for people with the rising sign (the Ascendant) in Aries.

The planet Venus is going to make you want to spend a lot of money. It's money spent on yourself, and it's impulse buying. The planet Mars is going to push this even further. The planet Mercury is in the social and career sector and it's not bringing anything nice to most Aries people (exceptions are below).

See below on how to use this spending energy wisely and find out the other areas of your life that will be affected by the stars!
__________________________________________________________________

- Early February
  • -- Buy clothing, perfumes, hair pins, ballet shoes. It also means that you should try and use this moment to appear at your best. Use this time to: chat up a new partner, go to interviews for jobs which require you to dress up.

  • -- If you were born between April 10 and 20, any type of communication or research is good. That goes for accountants, public relations, marketing, scientific research, other areas such as coal or gem mining, real estate, landowners, farming, woodwork. 
__________________________________________________________________

- Mid to End February
  • -- Buy anything fast and sharp
Scissors, knives, sewing and knitting needles, tools, skis, skating, golf or tennis equipment, pens, pencils and brushes. If you're in the sports business, it's fine to renew such equipment. Same for surgeons, doctors, dentists, vets, metal and oil industry, drilling equipment, butchers, barbers/hairdressers.
  • -- Buy anything hot and burning, or equipment for heat
Ovens, fireplace, furnaces, oven-proof dishes, radiators, engines (those that heat), radiotherapy equipment for cancer (it burns the cancerous cells), solar tubes for solar hot water systems. The planets are good for anyone using hot things.

Buy fire arms, bows and arrows, darts, firecrackers. Good for armories, police, firemen.

Miscellaneous: buy radar equipment, lasers, seeds or shoots of plants that shoot to the sky like bamboos, sequoias, conifers, or that are prickly like blueberries, chestnuts. Glass and mirrors 
  • -- Communications, writing
For those born between March 21 and April 9, communications, writing, telephoning, internet, marketing, advertising, etc. is absolutely lousy. I mean really bad.Your papers are going to get lost, people will lie to you, cheat and your research papers will be wrong, besides the subject, or you'll manage to say or write exactly the contrary of what you mean. You computer will break down or catch a virus. Your friends will give you bad advice, your lawyers will dream of winning and will lose your case. Your neighbors will trash your lawn or call the cops or local administration to tell them about the illegal terrace you're building...
  • -- Work atmosphere
Your boss will imply you might get a salary rise if you work a little harder - well you can wait for that one - you won't get it! Your boss will talk with innuendos, give you botched explanations of what you're supposed to do. Do not entrust a work file to a colleague - do it.

Do not believe the bank employee who tells you your credit is OK, check it, she must have made a mistake. Check every little ad you put in your local newspaper or in Craigs' List.

Travelling salesmen (women) will face delays on the road, they might even get car breakdowns and the mechanic will lie on how much work needs to be done. This planetary movement is only good for those who make it a habit of lying and cheating such as thieves, drug dealers or... banksters... yes, banksters - it's unlikely they'll get caught, at least not yet. And it does not mean you should start lying if you're normally an honest person, it'll bring you no good.
  • -- Travelling
February is only good for those born in March and very early April. This is the stuff made of new ventures abroad, sales abroad, the trip of a lifetime. The others have to be content with planning the trip for the end of 2009.
  • -- Money
February should be generally good for most Aries that are in stable positions. Others may have to complement their main earnings with other small jobs, and the planets are good for this, so if you need secondary sources of income, now is the time to do it (but be aware and careful of the lying and cheating crowd around you).
  • - Accidents and health
The last day of the month on February 28 is a nasty day. Really nasty. Pay special care not to hurry or drive fast. It's the sort of day when you'll reverse your car in a lamp post, the mechanic will write it off when it could be perfectly repaired. You might also burn yourself, prick or injure yourself. Don't go up ladders, don't run up or down the stairs. Don't go hunting, you might shoot your friend's dog. Don't fly a plane yourself. Don't explore caves and underground locations (try to park outside not in an underground car park).

Aries General Horoscope 2009

General Outlook for Aries Horoscope in 2009
__________________________________________________________________

This year could herald great career changes, but you will need to go at it slowly and build up new skills for this to be successful. You may want to be careful not to step on too many toes in your quest for promotion. For those working in caring professions, charities or generally humane fields, you will get opportunities to get involved in more interesting work. All areas concerned with scientific research will be fruitful. You may get more than your fair shaire of boring routine duties and would do well to apply yourself to accomplishing them without procrastinating. There's a great amount of studying this year, so if you fancy taking any course, whether recreational or educational, this is the time to do it. It won't just be useful for your job, but you'll make great friends too. People employed as engineers or in the advanced industrial fields will get the most chances of improving their jobs and salaries. Financial matters will be better in the second-half of the year.

You may meet another partner at the same time as you are already in one relationship. Take care, this new love may not be very stable and could wreak havoc in your life. On the other hand, if you are as yet uncommitted, there is a strong possibility that this relationship will be pleasant, very sexual, and not too long lasting. In other words, the ideal "fling". If you have been involved in a love triangle, beware that you do not provoke any scandal by loose talk. For those who are facing making important love decisions, you will get time to think this through. Do not rush. Reconnecting with an ex-lover is a possibility this year.

Those that want to buy or sell their house would be wise to wait till August 2009. This is also the case for extensive renovations. Travelling to foreign places is going to make you meet new people.
__________________________________________________________________

The word of caution for 2009

April is not the best month of the year. There are possibilities that you could extend yourself too far or deal with life too fast, with the end result that you are courting accidents and arguments with people. It would also be wise to check any tools or vehicle for good functioning as break-downs are possible during April.

November. For those who are having deep troubles in their marriage, you may need to tread on eggs from November 2009, as the stars may pull you further apart from your spouse. It certainly is not a good time to seek a divorce lawyer as you may get bad advice. If you really must, then make sure to get two or three different opinions on your situation.
