Explosion at a Chinese Market in Urumqui

A Chinese Market

A series of explosions struck a market Thursday in the capital of the far western Chinese region of Xinjiang, causing an unspecified number of deaths and injuries, China's official news agency Xinhua reported. Two vehicles plowed into people gathered at the market in Urumqi at 7:50 a.m., the news agency said, and explosives were thrown out of the vehicles. One of the vehicles then exploded, Xinhua reported. CNN, May 22.

The charts for (a) Mars station direct (b) the Last Quarter Moon at Urumqui (or Urumchi) are shown here. The station Mars has activated the violent Grand Cross involving Mars-Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto which is placed very significantly on the horizon axis. As Mars separates out of this celestial formation, it signals what might be best understood as the “tension release phase” of a Grand Cross, a phase that brings “things”—in all those places of tumult and turmoil to a head. Secondly, the Last Quarter Moon (May 21)  which also straddles the horizon axis is anchored to the Grand Cross through hard aspects so that it supports the  Mars “tension release phase”.

Finally, two other elements of the analysis show us why the event occurred in a market place (a)  the chart for the Sun’s entry into Gemini – a sign ruled by Mercury, the god of trade, commerce and market places – carries the same violent Grand Cross on the meridian axis (b) the Sabian symbol of the Last Quarter Moon (0pi24)  is a “A Market place”!

Update:

It is reported that the  two explosions took place at the following times.
