Typhoon Soudelor Lashes China




Im-dugud-khu, “The Great Storm Bird”




BEIJING—A typhoon was pounding southeast China late Saturday, leaving more than a million homes without power after lashing Taiwan, where it downed trees, traffic lights and power lines, and left six people dead and four missing. Typhoon Soudelor hit the city of Putian in Fujian province late Saturday (Aug. 8) night and was expected to move across the region, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported. The storm earlier caused more than three million households in Taiwan to lose electricity, as streets were strewn with fallen trees. All 279 domestic flights on the island were canceled Saturday, as well as at least 37 international flights. At least 101 people were injured in the storm.








Among  cardinal ingresses of the Sun, the Capricorn Ingress chart holds a special place of importance in mundane astrology. Many astrologers look upon it as the annual chart. Shown here is the Capricorn Ingress chart for Putian, China.  With a powerful T-square, containing Uranus-Pluto,  straddling the meridian axis, the ingress chart is important for the place.  Among other things, Uranus-Pluto is associated with the “sudden unleashing of elemental forces” so that Putian was, in a sense, already chosen for some such event. The nature of the event can be seen from the stars of Corvus conjoining the TNP Zeus on the MC.

Stars of Corvus were part of an archaic Chaldean lunar mansion whose patron god was Im-dugud-khu, “The Great Storm Bird” or “Storm Bird of the Evil Wind”  and China’s  Celestial Chariot T’ien-Tche governed wind. Records show that they were transited at the 1864 Bay of Bengal  cyclone that killed 50,000, the 1881 typhoon that hit Haipong, China, killing thousands; in 1970 when a huge cyclone hit Ganges delta with winds upto 150 kmph and a 50-ft high sea wave : about 300,000 to 500,000 were killed, thousands more died later of typhoid and cholera; in 1979 when 3 twisters combined into one giant tornado and hit Wichita Falls; in 1991 when “Tornado Alley” was hit by several twisters some with winds clocking 450 kmph and many others.[1][2][3][4][5]







In mundane charts, planetary combinations are brought to life when progressed angles move over them.  Progressing the ingress chart to August 8, brings the TNP Zeus with the stars of Corvus to the Ascendant triggering the cosmic energies that manifested as Typhoon Soudelor.
