Ice Cave Collapse in Washington Kills Hiker




A partial collapse of the Big Four Ice Caves, northeast of Seattle, on Monday evening killed one hiker and seriously injured three others. Two others had slight injuries, according to multiple reports. KOMO news radio in Seattle reported a 34-year-old woman died in the Monday collapse around 5:30 p.m. Two men and one woman were airlifted to a local hospital. June 8; http://goo.gl/Dy9atL







The chart for the Last Quarter Moon at Seattle, Washington has the luminaries in a T-square with Uranus-Pluto on the angles.  The TNP Admetus  connects with the T-square through hard aspects to the Ascendant and Pluto. Among other things, Uranus-Pluto is about sudden ruptures and collapses [1][2]  while Admetus  is linked to ice so that it is not surprising that the cave collapsed under the tension released by the Moon phase.

A key sentence for Admetus-Pluto provided by Martha Wescott explains the event clearly:

Admetus-Pluto: To see things reach critical mass – in other words, although one has been able to stand up under increasing pressure, the burden finally becomes too great and there must be some release or relief.







An event chart drawn for the collapse (July 6; 5:30 pm) has the descendant conjunct Admetus triggering the Admetus-Pluto configuration.
