Astrology of the Chile earthquake



A mighty 8.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of northern Chile late Tuesday, (April 1) triggering small landslides, sapping power, and generating a tsunami. Four men and one woman died -- two due to heart attacks and three crushed to death, said Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo. About 300 prisoners escaped from northern port city of Iquique in the immediate aftermath, he said. The quake struck about 8:46 p.m. local time, some 60 miles northwest of Iquique. It had a depth of 12.5 miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

In mundane astrology, the importance of the Capricorn Ingress chart is universally recognized. Astrologers look upon it as the Annual Chart for a place. Shown here is the sidereal Capricorn Ingress for Iquique.





The MC [20cn37] is conjunct Castor, alpha Geminorum [20cn25]. Jupiter is also conjunct the star Castor [20cn] of the Gemini Twins long associated with hurricanes and storms.

An ancient  myth tells how Castor and Pollux sailed on the Argo and by their strength and ingenuity saved the lives of their fellow mariners during a terrifying storm. Classical sailors were particularly taken by these stars and prayed to them for protection at sea during storms.

Diana Rosenberg lists the following weather events linked to the Twins [1]:

A massive 2010 8.8 earthquake/tsunami off Maule, Chile that moved the earth off its axis; the July 1281 New Moon was here at Kublai Khan’s second attempt to invade Japan: a vast armada  of 4,400 ships and 142,000 Mongol warriors set out in July were struck by a typhoon in August that destroyed about 4000 ships and more than 100,000 troops. This was the North Node at a July 1591 Solar Eclipse, the year four hurricanes sank more than 400 ships in the Western Hemisphere most of them part of the Grand Fleet of Spanish treasure ships; this was the 1886 Winter Solstice Saturn: 1886-87 vicious winter caused that caused the death of thousands of cattle buried by in  blizzards; Mars at the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900, the city was inundated and 8000 killed;  other events include with placements here include the 1935 Category 5 Labor Day Hurricane that hit Florida Keys; the 1946 Hilo Bay tsunami that killed 165; the massive cyclone winds that hit Bangladesh in 1991 killing 139,000 people and half a million cattle and many others.

On the day the earthquake/tsunami struck Iquique, the progressed horizon axis aligns with the Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter T-square signalling a major catastrophic event.







Also note that the 30 March New Moon fell on the significantly placed Uranus in the Capricorn Ingress chart. About this New Moon, Jeff Jawer writes “personal lives are shaken and shocked in this cosmically and geologically unstable environment.” [2]
