Russian Jets Bomb Ice Jam to Relieve Flood-Hit Region



Local authorities initiated efforts to destroy a 40-km ice jam on the Sukhona river near Veliky Ustyug, in the Vologda region. As Monday's demolition work didn't bring the expected result, bombing missions from the air are being implemented. Several Russian Su-34 bomber aircraft launched airstrikes on the border area between the Archangelsk and Vologda regions. These modern multipurpose planes were most recently bombing Daesh positions in Syria.The task isn't easy. The Vologda region is in the grip of the worst flooding in 20 years, and the consequences have required a special operation by the military and emergency response groups.

Cardinal ingresses of the Sun are among the important mundane events that were tracked closely by ancient astrologers. On April 14, the Sun moved into sidereal Aries. A chart for this event at Veliky Ustyug has the Jupiter-Mars-Saturn-Neptune T-square on the angles.  Here Neptune is conjunct the star eta Aquarii, in the water pouring from the urn of Aquarius, a perfect symbol for floods. Saturn is often linked to an obstacle or a resistance and even to figurative or literal cold so that the image of the flood waters being blocked fits the picture.

On the other hand, Mars represents energy at work which may take the form of explosion to overcome any perceived resistance. Also adding to this theme is Jupiter conjunct the star Mizar, often linked to fireworks and explosinns. All this would correspond with the news of fighter jets dropping bombs to break the ice and release the accumulated waters. Incidentally, the Moon [29cn] is conjunct the star chi Geminorum (in Pollux’cap). In ancient China this waa Tsi-Choui, The Accumulated Waters!
