Sinabung Volcano erupts in Indonesia




(CNN)Thick plumes of volcanic ash and flowing lava are spewing from Mount  Sinabung. About 2,700 people have been evacuated from the Indonesian island of Sumatra because of the increased volcanic activity in the region during the past two weeks. Those who have been evacuated are from four villages south and southeast of the volcano's crater.

The cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as  important  mundane events. Of these the Capricorn Ingress has a special place and is considered by many to be the  annual chart. Shown here is the sidereal Capricorn Ingress chart for the location of Mount Sinbaug.  The important thing to note is theT-square on the angles. Uranus-Pluto is the dominating square contained in the T. Richard Tarnas associates Uranus-Pluto with “the unleashing of the elemental forces of nature in various senses (the tangible increase in signs of extreme climate change, volcanoes and earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, tsunamis and floods, undersea oil eruptions, mining disasters).” [1]






Knowing that the Capricorn Ingress chart already contains the potential for a volcanic eruption at Mount Sinbaug, we now progress the Ingress chart to June 6, the date of the eruption. We find that the progressed Ascendant conjoins Saturn [2sa] and squares Mars [2pi] and Neptune [5pi] on the IC. About the stars conjunct the IC, Diana Rosenberg writes that these give rise to “natural disasters of great scope, including earth upheavals” and mentions the following instances as examples:

These stars were transited  at the notorious  eruption of  Vesuvius  in 79 CE  that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum; at the Great Alexandria Earthquake of  365 CE that hit Knossos (Crete), Palestine,  Greece, Dalmatia and Egypt; at the 1727 eruption of Iceland’s  Oraefajokull volcano; at the Dec, 1811 Great New Madrid Earthquake and several others.
