Car transporter runs aground in the Solent




The crew of a car transporter ship, which ran aground in the Solent, off the Isle of Wight, have been taken to safety, the coastguard has said. The Hoegh Osaka was heading to Germany when it ran on to the Bramble Bank, in the entrance to Southampton Water, at about 21:30 GMT. Owners Hoegh Autoliners said one of the 25 crew members was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. BBC; Dec.4 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-30670746


The Solent is the strait that separates the Isle of Wight from the mainland of England. It is a major shipping route for passengers, freight and military vessels. The event occurred on the eve of a  powerful Full Moon – the chart for which is shown here.







The Full Moon [14cn] is conjunct Alpha (α) Carina, Canopus [15cn],  -a  white binary star in the Keel of the celestial ship Argo Navis. The  Moon is the ruler of the 9th house (shipping) placed in the 8th (crisis and dangers) [1][2].

 Notice that the luminaries are not only  part of a Grand Cross with Uranus-Pluto but also anchored to the Saturn-Admetus opposition on the horizon axis.  One of Ebertin’s  keyword for Uranus-Pluto combinations is “accidents”.  Saturn-Admetus and the horizon axis form a T-square with Neptune. Admetus is rocks or obstacles  while Neptune is the sea, so that all the elements are in place to describe the event.
