India Temple Fire



At least 80 persons were killed and over 350 injured after a fire broke out at the Paravur Puttingal Devi temple around 3:30 a.m on Sunday. The fireworks ceremony was held as part of the annual festival of the temple, near Kollam. Over 100 victims are admitted to the district hospital in Kollam. Many of the injured died before they could be reach a hospital. Victims are also admitted to the Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital and at various private hospitals in Kollam. The explosion was caused when the storehouse of the fireworks materials caught fire. In the impact of the explosion the office building of the Travancore Devaswom Board near the storehouse was blown off.

The massive explosion at the temple took place at the Crescent Moon of April 10. A chart for the phase at Kollam (Quilon) has the Moon on the descendant forming a Grand Cross with Mars-Saturn-Jupiter-Neptune. It is common knowledge that Mars-Saturn is a destructive accident prone combination. Moreover its conjunction in Sagittarius, the sign associated with religion, obviously links it to a religious place like a temple here.  But more interesting is the position of Jupiter, again associated with religion and temples, on the MC conjunct the star Mizar [1][2][3] . Zeta (ΞΆ) Ursa Major, Mizar, is a double star, possibly binary, brilliant white and pale emerald on the Tail of the Great Bear. The following extracts from Ebertin and Nick Fiorenza explain the nature of this star.

Supposedly, Mizar portends a Mars nature. The reputation of Mizar, if it is in maximal position in a mundane map, is that of being connected with fires of a catastrophic extent and mass calamities. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, p.55.]

Mizar of the Great Bear, Zeta Ursa Major, is the overseeing and predominant star of this area of the zodiak. Mizar articulates raw fiery energy that must express one way or another. Mizar must have a creative outlet, but for its proper expression, we must apply it with creative vision. Mizar brings attention to use of our creative energies; creative and destructive tendencies, and the fear to create lest it may result in destruction. Here we learn the nature of such volatile forces. Mizar, with averted alignments is also known for catastrophic fires or massacres. Mizar can however express quite artistically--just as gunpowder can express as beautiful fireworks or devastating explosion.




A chart drawn for the reported time of the explosion (3:30 am) has Mars-Saturn on the MC as part of the T-square with Jupiter-Neptune confirming the role of this combination in the accident.







But as we have seen so often before, there can be more than one cause for an event. In this case we will look at a slightly more distant cause. Let us go back to the solar eclipse chart for September 13 at Kollam (Quilon).  The eclipse is conjunct the MC and the “explosive” star Mizar. Nick Fiorenza explains that this is an area where political-religious factions have been acting as manipulating and controlling godheads. They have been perpetuating a dogmatic structure that keeps individuals from becoming self-responsible, evolving into their own self-mastery. Here self-proclaimed saviors of the world try to amass their blind followers for their own interest in maintaining a position of power and wealth. Eclipse are about relinquishing the past and engaging in a new path. Here this would mean that the blind followers must learn discrimination and become self-responsible instead of following religious or political leaders.





Having understood the essential principle behind the eclipse, all that remains is to progress the chart to April 10. When we do that we find the Uranus-Pluto square on the angles with Uranus  on the MC in aspect to the eclipse.  This combination in its physical manifestation is  “explosive energy” . But on a deeper level it is a freeing and opening force, a pattern disrupter and deprogrammer supporting the expression of our uniqueness and originality and thereby freeing us from conventions and the establishment. In other words, this energy was not meant to be destructive. It is only when we ignore or avoid its higher expression that it causes accidents like the one at the temple today.
