Chilean volcano erupts for first time in 40 years

A volcano in Chile that has laid dormant for more than 40 years has suddenly erupted, causing a thick plume of ash to cloud the sky while thousands of people living in its shadow were forced to flee. Volcano Calbuco, in the country's south, is believed to be among the three most dangerous of Chile's 90 active volcanoes, but was not under any special observation before it suddenly sprung into life at around 6pm local time. An estimated 1,500 people were forced to flee the nearby town of Ensenada after the eruption, while several smaller townships were also cleared. April 23 http://dailym.ai/1K9enbb






An eclipse is always liable to cause volcanic eruptions and seismic disturbances especially where planets on the angles conjoin certain stars. A chart for the last solar eclipse at Calbuco is shown here. The Ascendant in Pisces is conjunct Mercury and Neptune while Saturn conjoins the MC.  Neptune [8pi] is conjunct kappa Pegasi [9pi] in the Flying Horse’s forefoot.

Poseidon (Roman name Neptune) was the great Olympian god of the sea, rivers, flood and drought, earthquakes, and horses. Legend has it that when his creation Pegasus, the Flying Horse,  stomped its feet there were earthquakes. For stars in this area, Diana Rosenberg mentions “unusually powerful earthquakes” and gives the following examples:

Besides the 75CE SolEcl path over Pompeii and Vesuvius, these stars were transited at the Great Alexandria Earthquake of 365 CE; at the Great China Earthquake of 1556 that killed 830,000, one of the most devastating earthquakes in history; in 1812 at the last and strongest (about 8.7 Richter) of the Great New Madrid, MO quakes and many others.


Progressing the eclipse chart to April 23, the date of the eruption, brings the Uranus-Pluto square to the horizon axis. Pluto rules the forces of the underworld while Uranus brings to the surface all that is held down. On an elemental level, we can see the sudden awakening of the Plutonic underworld in volcanic eruptions.
