Deadly blast rocks Thailand capital



A bomb has exploded close to a shrine in the centre of the Thai capital, Bangkok, police say. Local reports suggest at least 12 people have died and at least 20 more have been injured.The BBC's Jonathan Head, who is at the scene, says there is a huge amount of chaos, with body parts scattered everywhere. The attack took place close to the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok's central Chidlom district. The explosion occurred at about 19:00 local time (12:00 GMT). http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-33963280






The mundane horoscope of Thailand is provided by Nicholas Campion in  "The Book of World Horoscopes" [1]. The chart has a Uranus [23ar]-Pluto [21cn] square activated now by the solar arc Sun [22vi] and a Uranus return. Uranus-Pluto combination is known to give rise to sudden, forceful and disruptive actions of individuals or groups of individuals seeking to change the status quo.







The second chart presented here shows the  solar quotidian angles for August 17; 5:00 am triggering the Mars-Pluto-Uranus-Saturn T-square  in the  day-for-year  secondary progressions.  For Mars-Pluto-Uranus in this combination Ebertin gives us the following key phrases, “fanaticism, an act of violence, the mania of destruction” which fits the event perfectly.





Two other points need to be mentioned (a) transit Mars[5aq] opposes radix Saturn [3aq] (lord of 9th ruling place of religion) and (b)  the current New Moon of August 14 places the violent Uranus-Pluto-Zeus T-square on the angles at Bangkok  completing the picture.






A chart for the explosion has the Jupiter-Saturn square straddling the horizon but more importantly triggering the Pluto-Zeus square through hard aspects. For Pluto-Zeus, Martha Wescott includes “events associated with fire, weapons or general tension in the world”.
