It has long been the custom in this
branch of astrology to consider maps drawn for the time of the entry
of the Sun into the cardinal signs: Aries,Cancer,Libra and Capricorn. Of these,
the Aries Ingress was by tradition considered the most important and possibly
to be thought of as “the map of the year”. Led by Carter astrologers have begun
to consider the Capricorn as the prime ingress.
It was Carter who suggested that if
the sidereal zodiac were valid, maps for the entry of the Sun into the
constellations of Aries,Cancer,Libra and Capricorn would be of importance. This
suggestion was followed up by Garth Allen, who in an extensive statistical
investigation found that the sidereal ingresses were not only valid but of the
highest significance. This opinion has been fully confirmed by other
investigators in recent years. Garth eventually arrived at the conclusion that
the Capricorn Sidereal Ingress was of primary importance followed in rank by
that of Cancer; Aries and Libra, whilst having some significance, could be
considered of lesser importance.

Fagan, Roy C. Firebrace
This
extensive prelude from Cyril Fagan about the importance of the sidereal
Capricorn Ingress is relevant since modern astrologers appear to have
forgotten its validity. I take this
opportunity to explain the Bangladesh
tragedy using the map of the sidereal Capricorn Ingress at Dhaka .
Notice that (a) the MC [29vi] of the
chart is conjunct the star Alkaid [27vi] (b) Uranus is the fourth house.
Eta (η)
Ursa Major, Alkaid, is a brilliant white star on the tail of the Great Bear.
The last star in the Great Bear.
Benetnash (Alkaid) means 'hired mourners'. If the influence of this star is
exercised, an influence of a Mars-Uranus-Saturn nature is present. Experience
has shown that many human lives are to be mourned. Reinhold Ebertin made a
survey of this fixed star covering centuries when associated with transits of
the major planets over this degree. The results have been recorded in the 40th
yearbook for Cosmobiological Research 1969. In accordance with adopted belief
of ancient times, this fixed star is supposed to be bound up with the realm of
the dead and is therefore associated with death and mourning. In an important
position in a mundane map, Benetnash will claim human lives in calamities such
as mine accidents, collapse of houses
and bridges, mountain slides, earth tremors and catastrophes caused by weather.
[Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, no.46, p.57,
under the name Benetnash]
H.S. Green
gives the following interpretation for
Uranus in the fourth house:
If
afflicted trouble among the workers, discontent, strikes, ill-feeling between
master and man or between the upper classes and the masses, accidents in mines,
fall of buildings, explosions.
The
T-square with Uranus at the apex has Venus [6th and 11th ruler]
; Pluto [12th ruler] opposite TNPs Kronos, Hades. I once again urge readers
to look at the meanings of the houses from the excellent reference below.
Sixth
House: Because of its links to service, the 6th House rules workers, the laboring classes,
unions, labor organizations, wage
conditions etc.
Twelfth
House: This house rules things hostage situations .. behind the scenes
manipulation, slavery, human rights
issues etc
Eleventh
House: The 11th represents the national purpose or purpose of the group as well
as its hopes and dreams …as such it is also connected with a desire for reforms and improvement.
From
references [1] and [2] we can also see
how planets add details that increase our understanding of the event.
Venus [1]: apparel manufacture
Pluto in Capricorn [2] : collapse of
infrastructure (e.g. buildings)
