Ferry sinks in central Philippines

(CNN) -- At least 29 people are missing after a ferry sank in the waters off the central Philippines in bad weather Saturday, (Sept. 13) the government's civil defense office said. A rescue operation is ongoing off the southeast coast following the sinking of the MV Maharlika, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. The boat departed Lipata Port for Liloan Port to the south, carrying 84 people, including 26 crew, when the vessel lost steering due to big waves and strong current, the agency said. Passengers and crew abandoned the vessel and 32 survivors were rescued by a responding ship less than two hours later. Meanwhile, 23 other people were also rescued by two additional vessels.

The cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as  important mundane events.  Of these the Capricorn Ingress is considered by many astrologers to be most important. Shown here is the chart for the Sun's entry  into tropical Capricorn at Lipata Port, Phillipines. The ingress is significant for the place since a powerful and potentially accident producing Grand Cross involving Uranus-Pluto-Zeus-Jupiter is on the angles with Jupiter [17cn] sharply conjunct the MC [17cn].  Both these are conjunct the stars tau Geminorum [16cn] of the Gemini Twins and nu Puppis, of Argo Navis [17cn] – the Celestial Ship.

 Progressing the chart to September 13 aligns the Ascendant with Jupiter  triggering the Cross. Diana Rosenberg lists the following disasters under these stars:

According to Homeric Hymns, “when stormy gales rage over the ruthless sea..shipmen call upon the twin sons of great Zeus..” these stars were transited at a Nov, 440 CE Solar Eclipse when the city of Ys in Brittany was “submerged in great flood” ; in 1839 when, during a storm, starving, desperate slaves took over the “Amistad” and tried to return to Africa; in 1857 when the SS Central America carrying 500 passengers and 21 tons of California gold sank in an Atlantic hurricane; in 1896 when sidepaddle steamer City of Portland, its captain ignoring orders to delay departure, sailed for Boston in a raging blizzard (the ship foundered and sank 2 hrs later); in 1898 when liner La Bourgogne collided with schooner Cromartyshire in fog near Cape Sable, Nova Scotia; at the English-German sea-battle of Jutland in 1916; at the “Great Miami Hurricane” of 1926;  in 1928 at the terrible Lake Okeechobee hurricane of 1928 (barometer 27.43 in; 5th lowest in US history) that killed 5000 in the US and Caribbean and many others.[1]
