New York eatery gas poisoning at LQ Moon



A 55-year-old restaurant manager died and more than two dozen others were taken to hospitals Saturday (Feb.22) after being overcome by carbon monoxide at a restaurant at a New York mall, police said. Suffolk County police identified the man who died as Steven Nelson, a manager at the Legal Sea Foods restaurant at the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station on Long Island. The restaurant is located in a detached building that is part of the mall, which remained open.





This serves as yet another example of how a Moon phase can be very significant for a place when prominently placed on or aspecting the angles. Notice that the chart of Last Quarter Moon  is the 6th house square Sun-Neptune  on the MC. As indicated in  reference [1] the mundane 6th house rules the following:

6th House - public health, sanitation. Through its connection with health, the 6th House rules places serving food and drink, public health and health workers. 


So is it at all surprising that a “public health” scare took place in a “restaurant”. Moreover the Moon [4sa] was conjunct sigma Serpentis [3sa35] which Diana Rosenberg links to “gas poisoning, asphyxiation, air contamination, pollution and suffocation”.


These stars produce the highest score of fog and smog; they were transited at the Nov 1873 lunar eclipse: during the winter of 1873-4 grimy, poisonous London fogs persisted from Nov to Feb raising the death rate 75%; in Dec 1905 when a thick dense fog crept over London; in 1907 when an unusually thick fog hung over South England interfering with a state visit of the Kaiser; at the Nov 1962 New Moon conjunct Mercury, six days before a noxious “pea soup” fog combined with sulphur dioxide blanketed London for four days killing 136, felling a 1000 more, bringing the city to a standstill; in 1984 when a carbon-dioxide burst  from crater Lake Monoun, Cameroon killed 37 villagers, and in 1986 when another deadly carbon-dioxide gas burst , this time from Lake Nyos, Cameroon killed 1,746 people and more than 8,300 animals and many others.

Further confirmation is provided by Neptune on the MC. Neptune’s association with air or water pollution is well known to astrologers. The next post will give an example of water pollution linked to the same Last Quarter Moon.
