The Waters
of Aquarius
A
ferocious line of thunderstorms responsible for three deaths and that left 25
million Americans facing the threat of floods was set to wreak more misery
across the Gulf Coast and South on Thursday. Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas have been
hammered all week with downpours, large hail, and at least two tornadoes — and
forecasters warned there was more to come. Some areas have seen a foot of rain
since Tuesday, with more than 16 inches falling near the northern Louisiana
city of Monroe. March 10
The solar
eclipse [19pi] of March 8 occurred among the stars of Aquarius and Pisces. The
area in which it lies has an heavy emphasis upon constellations with watery
imagery, the goat-fish (Capricorn), the whale (Cetus), the water-pourer
(Aquarius), the fishes (Pisces), and the dolphin (Delphinus) all located
nearby, obviously earmarking this region as one that related to the rainy
season of the ancient year, so that many
of its stars are associated with floods.
The Great
Storm Bird
A chart for
the eclipse at Monroe, Louisiana has the
Uranus-Pluto T-square straddling the horizon axis. Recall that Uranus-Pluto is about the “sudden unleashing of
elemental forces”. On the Ascendant are stars of Corvus, the Raven.
These stars 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; at the Winter
Solstice of 1886, the beginning of a terrible North American winter that caused
“The Great Die-up”, hundreds of thousands of cattle, buried in blizzards froze
to death; at New York city’s record snow of 1947; 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 1977 when after 4 snowstorms in 2 months, Buffalo, NY was hit by the the
17-hour “Great Blizzard of 77; 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].
