Hurricane Patricia hits Mexico




An "extraordinarily dangerous" category 5 hurricane slammed into southwestern Mexico Friday, bringing lashing winds and rainfall that has the potential to create life-threatening flash floods. Hurricane Patricia made landfall near Cuixmala, west-northwest of Manzanillo, carrying 165 mph winds at 6:15 p.m. local time (7:15 p.m. ET), according to the National Hurricane Center. Palm trees bent and rain whipped in sideways as the storm made its first appearance on land. "The winds are really strong. It's amazing, even the cars are moving," Laura Barajas, a 30-year-old hotel worker from the major cargo port of Manzanillo near where the storm hit, told Reuters.







As we have seen in the past few posts, the powerful eclipses of September are now making themselves visible in world events.  Hurricane Patricia  is another of those examples. Shown here is the chart for the solar eclipse of September 13 drawn for Manzanillo. Notice that the eclipse[20vi] is placed on the IC [17vi], the cusp of the 4th house that is connected to weather conditions in mundane astrology [1]. Yesterday, October 23, transit Mars conjoined the IC  and was within 2 degrees of the eclipse thereby triggering it into manifestation. Diana Rosenberg links the star Denebola  conjunct the eclipse with “storms and extreme barometric lows”.

Denebola’s manzil Al Sarfah, “The Changer” (of the weather) was associated with storms and hurricanes. This was the North Node in 1588 when the Spanish Armada sailed from Lisbon to invade England: after a pounding by English ships and terrible storms only a remnant  returned to Spain; Uranus at the 1715 Los Capitanas Disaster: 11 Spanish treasure laden ships out of Havana sailed into a massive hurricane; Mars at the Great Hurricane of 1780 that completely flattened the West Indies; the Sun when SS Central America, with 500 passengers and 21 tons of California gold, floundered in a terrible hurricane and sank in 1857; at the Sept. 1928 New Moon during the massive Lake Okeechobee, FL , second deadliest in US history; Mercury and Venus at the August 1935 New Moon 5 days before a Category 5 Labor Day Hurricane “the most intense and tight-knit ever to strike Florida” hit the Florida Keys, the barometer fell to the lowest ever observed in the US with wind estimated at 150-200 mph; Neptune at the map-altering Great New England Hurricane of 1938 that hit without warning: 186 mph winds wrecked Long Island; the South Node when Category 5 Hurricane Camille with the barometer at its 2nd lowest reading in US history hit the Gulf Coast in 1969 and several others [2].
