Astrology of the Bombay fire

MUMBAI: Seven persons were killed in a massive blaze that broke out in a high rise residential building in South Mumbai on Friday night, firebrigade officials said on Saturday. Six fire personnel, including two officers, were also injured while carrying out rescue and firefighting operations. The fire started on the 12th floor of the 26-storey Mont Blanc building in upscale Kemps Corner area. According to fire control room, the fire broke out at around 7.33 pm.

Jim Eshelman in his book “Sidereal Mundane Astrology” [1] writes:

In the May, June, and July 1957 issues of American Astrology Magazine, astrologer Donald A. Bradley (writing under his usual pen name, Garth Allen) published an article series titled “Unveiling a New Tool.” These articles introduced Sidereal solar and lunar ingress charts and demonstrated their value in identifying natural disasters and other categories of major events with unprecedented power and clarity.

For example, of several interrelated astrological tools discussed in the present report, a single technique, called the Capsolar Quotidian, accurately marked the time, place, and nature of 99% of the major events studied herein. Getting 99% accuracy in mundane astrology is unprecedented by any combination of methods. In that minority of cases where the Capsolar Quotidian had nothing to say, a secondary (companion) technique, called the Cansolar Quotidian, accounted for most of the rest. Together, they accounted for 95% of the events studied. Of the 5% remaining, all but two were described correctly by a transiting planet conjunct a Capsolar angle, so the Capsolar Quotidian with gap-backup accounted for 99% of all the events.

In the case of the Bombay fire we will see that the sidereal  Cancer Ingress chart (Cansolar) when progressed by the solar quotidian method explains the fire very well. Notice that the progression to 13 December  brings the now familiar Uranus-Pluto-Zeus T-square to the angles. Ebertin lists “accidents” under probable manifestations for Uranus-Pluto while the TNP Zeus[2]  is connected with “fires” so that it not at all difficult to see why the fire occurred.

If we look carefully at the  Cansolar chart, it was already hinting at the possibility of a fire with Uranus [12ar] quincunx the  Moon [10sc] and Ascendant [12sc].

Conjunct Uranus [12ar31] is  Erakis,mu Cephei, [9ar52], Garnet Star in the King’s head. Cepheus wears a Crown of Fire! (Romans called him inflammatus). Ibn Ezra, an 11th century astrologer listed in place of Cepheus, “The Lady of the Flame”. In India, the two Bhadrapadha nakshtras (this is Uttarabhadrapadha) were known as “the Scorching Pair” connected with all things hot and burning. Research has proved this to be one of two areas with the highest number of fires in the zodiac among them.

Moon, Exeter Theatre Fire, 1887, England: 200 died, many suffocated by smoke; Mercury: Triangle Clothing Factory Fire, 1911, New York City: 146 dead; Saturn, L’Innovation Department Store Fire 1967,Brussels: 322 killed; Venus, start of fire bombing of Dresden 1945, 35,000 civilians killed, architectural  treasures destroyed; Bradford, England football stadium fire, 1985 (53 killed) and the “Move” cult bombing by Philadelphia police causing a fire that gutted an entire city block (11 dead, 200 homeless); Mars, a 10-hr fire destroyed Lisbon’s Chiado shopping district, 1988; Mars SR 1988, start of Yellowstone Fires and the 1988 Ramstein, Germany Air Show disaster when three planes collided and crashed in flames, parts hitting spectators (70 killed, 500 injured); Uranus at the 1257 Winter Solstice just before Genghis Khan’s grandson Hulagu with 200,000 Tartars pillaged and burned Baghdad, a centre of learning and culture and many others. [2]

Finally, the chart for the actual event confirms our thesis with Uranus on the MC conjunct the star Erakis in King Cepheus’ head (Inflammatus) triggered by transit Mars and TNP Zeus on the IC.
