Fire in Manchester Dogs' Home


Canes Venatici

the two Hunting Dogs, or Greyhounds



A blaze that swept through a dogs' home has now claimed the lives of 60 animals, with the death toll expected to rise further. More than 150 dogs were rescued from the fire, which broke out at Manchester Dogs' Home in Moss Brook Road in Harpurhey on Thursday (Sept.11) evening. A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of arson. BBC; Sept 12 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-29170371






We are still in the wake of the September 9 Full Moon which was also a SuperMoon. The chart for the Full Moon at Manchester is shown here. A powerful Grand Cross involving Pluto-Uranus-Zeus-Hades straddles the meridian axis.  Key phrases for the elements are as below:

Uranus-Pluto
Acts of violence; subversive activities; an accident [1]

Hades-Zeus
To hear of damages through fires; criminal activity that includes  the use of weapons, fires or explosions. [2]

The Sun[16vi] is conjunct the star Mizar , Zeta (ζ) Ursa Major[16vi]  and Asterion Beta (β) Canes Venatici [18vi] – the hunting dogs (see image)!

Supposedly, Mizar portends a Mars nature. The reputation of Mizar, if it is in maximal position in a mundane map, is that of being connected with fires of a catastrophic extent and mass calamities. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, p.55.]

On September 11, the date of the fire, there was an occultation of Uranus by the Moon at  1:07 UT. In the Full Moon chart Uranus is significantly placed on the MC and is conjunct the star pi Fornacis [15ar20]  in the constellation Fornax – the Furnace!
