Fire on Dehradun Express




THANE: At least five passengers, including a woman, were burned alive when a fire engulfed the speeding Mumbai-Dehradun Express near Dahanu town in Maharashtra's Thane district on early Wednesday, officials said.  The fire is believed to have erupted in one bogie and quickly spread to two other bogies, catching the passengers in their sleep around 2.30am on Wednesday, a Western Railway official spokesperson said.



Eclipses produce events long after they are gone and especially when aspects are formed by progression of the angles of the eclipse chart. Shown here is the chart for the 3 November solar eclipse at Thane. Notice that along with Mercury, the Nodes and Saturn, the eclipse  forms a square to the meridian axis. Mercury-Saturn is related to travel related accidents. Among other things Diana Rosenberg [1] lists “fires and train disasters” under the eclipse stars [11sc16]. And since there is always more than one indicator for major events, here we find that the Ascendant [16ta56] is in a partile quincunx to the TNP Zeus [15li58] associated with fires. The role of Zeus in the fire is further confirmed since the progressed IC arrives at the conjunction to Zeus on the date of the accident. Also Zeus opposes Uranus [9ar21] which in turn is conjunct the Garnet Star mu Cephei [9ar52], Erakis in King Cepheus’ Crown linked to fires.




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.

Finally a chart drawn for the fire (8 Jan. 2014; 2:30 am) has not only the forming First Quarter Moon triggering the Uranus-Pluto-Zeus square but with the Ascendant [12sc] exactly aligned with the November eclipse!
