Radioactive contamination at Algol Full Moon

An alarm late Friday night (14 Feb) indicating higher than usual levels of airborne radiation led to a first-of-its-kind response at a nuclear disposal facility outside of Carlsbad, New Mexico, an Energy Department spokesman told CNN. An air monitor at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant detected the spike in an isolated area half a mile below the ground. The incident prompted an immediate shutoff of filtered air from the facility into the environment around it.

The Full Moon [26le13] was in the First House just about to rise at Carlsbad, New Mexico and therefore is considered significant for the place.  The planet Saturn [23sc06] and the dreaded star Algol [26ta22] were both square the Full Moon axis.

Algol’s association with nuclear related events is well documented as this reference from Skyscript [1] explains:

The first atom bomb had Mars on Algol. A mushroom cloud rose over the sands of New Mexico, produced by a grapefruit-sized lump of plutonium. On July 16th 1945, with Mars within 20 arcminutes of Algol,[24] the desert sands of Alamogordo turned to glass. 'Pluto's element' went critical. The power of the atom was unleashed in this event, codenamed 'Trinity' by Robert Oppenheimer. Albert Einstein (Algol conjunct Pluto) had no inkling of the dire consequences lurking in his equations, until after Pluto's appearance in 1930.

Saturn is conjunct the star Unukalhai and Agena – an area that Diana Rosenberg links to “contaminated air…danger from poisons or toxic substances, (Serpens) lung ailments and respiratory problems”.

Combining Algol and the stars of the Serpent we can see how that can easily manifest as radioactive contamination of air.
