At least 42 people, most of them pensioners on a
day trip, have been killed in a head-on collision between a bus and a truck in
south-west France. The crash happened on a country road near Puisseguin in the
Gironde wine region, east of Bordeaux. Both vehicles then caught fire. France's
president said he had been "plunged into sadness by the tragedy". PM
Manuel Valls is at the scene. It is the worst French road disaster since 1982,
when 52 people died. The bus collided with the timber truck at 07:30 local time
(05:30 GMT), at what local residents described as a notoriously dangerous bend
in the road. Both vehicles quickly caught fire. The French government said 42
people had died and nine people were injured, four seriously. Oct.23 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34613637
Yesterday,
Mercury, the planet that rules travel, communication and vehicles, was exactly
square Pluto. A chart for the planetary square at Libourne which is just 15 kms
from Puisseguin is shown here. Notice
that the Mercury-TNP Zeus-Uranus-Pluto T-square straddles the horizon
suggesting that its energy was going to be felt at that place. Among other
things, Uranus-Pluto is linked to accidents [1] and TNP Zeus to fires [2] so
putting the elements together we have a vehicle (Mercury) involved in an
accident (Uranus-Pluto) catches fire (Zeus).
And now,
if we draw a chart for the time of the accident (07:30 local time) notice that
Mercury conjunct Zeus is on the Ascendant and the T-square straddles the
horizon and is thereby triggered.
Finally,
before ending, let us note that Saturn, the
planet which rules old people and pensioners, is conjunct the asteroid
Orpheus [2], linked to death, and anchored to the T-square through hard
aspects. In the Mercury-Pluto square chart, Saturn is placed in the 5th
house which in mundane astrology is associated with all activities connected
with recreation and enjoyment [3] and would, therefore, include the outing that
the unfortunate pensioners were on.
