Man dies in shark attack

A man has been killed in a shark attack on the New South Wales north coast, police say, a day after another man was injured by a shark in the same area. Police said the man, believed to be a Japanese national, died at Shelly Beach near Ballina, some 730km (452 miles) north of Sydney. Surfers helped him to shore and performed first aid, but the man died. There have been several shark attacks off Australia's beaches in recent years. The attack happened around 09:45 (22:45 GMT Sunday) on Monday, police said. Friends of the man rushed him to shore to try to save him, but could not. "Because both legs were gone, he bled to death very quickly,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted Ballina Mayor David Wright as saying. Feb.9; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-31273081

As we have seen in several past blogposts, eclipses just don’t disappear; their effects can be felt long after they are gone. Here we will look at the April 29, 2014 solar eclipse chart drawn for Ballina. Notice that a very prominent Grand Cross aspects the meridian axis. Ebertin interprets the Uranus-Pluto-Mars of the Cross as under.

Uranus-Pluto-Mars: An act of violence; injury, accident.

The eclipse [9ta] along with Mercury [13ta] is conjunct the stars gamma (γ) Cetus, Kaffaljidhma [9ta], gamma (γ) Andromeda, Almach [14ta] and alpha (α) Cetus, Menkar [14ta]. Cetus represents the sea monster or whale sent by Neptune to devour Andromeda. Menkar is a bright orange star in the open jaw of the  Sea Monster while Almach is a star in the snagged foot of Andromeda often depicted close to the Monster’s mouth.

Progressing the chart to February 8, the date of the accident, we find that the Grand Cross now straddles the horizon axis and is thus activated.

Finally a chart drawn for February 8, 22:45 GMT – the time of the attack has the Moon [13li] triggering the Uranus [13ar] – Pluto [13cp] square in the eclipse chart.
