Zeus
throwing a thunderbolt
Bangladesh authorities issued warnings on dangerous
meteorological activity, as an unprecedented upsurge in lightning strikes have
resulted in then deaths of over 60 people across the nation in three days. Reports
by local newspapers Prothom Alo and Samakal suggest that the death toll across
the nation reached 64 as of Saturday. Government officials confirmed only 59
deaths. They said that 34 of those fatal lighting strikes occurred on Thursday (May 12) in the country’s capital, Dhaka,
while the rest befell the country’s rural areas in the next two days. May 16 http://goo.gl/Tq4mr1
Lightning
plays a role in many mythologies, often as the weapon of a sky god and weather
god. As such, it is an unsurpassed method of dramatic instantaneous retributive
destruction: thunderbolts as divine weapons can be found in many mythologies.
A thunderbolt
or lightning bolt is a symbolic representation of lightning when accompanied by
a loud thunderclap. In ancient Hellenic and Roman religious traditions, the
thunderbolt represents Zeus or Jupiter (etymologically 'Sky Father'), thence
the origin and ordaining pattern of the universe, as expressed in Heraclitus'
fragment describing "the Thunderbolt that steers the course of all
things".
To understand
why such an unprecedented upsurge in lightning strikes took place on May 12 in
Dhaka, we begin with the chart for the last solar eclipse of March 9. Notice
that the eclipse is sextile Pluto on the MC which is itself part of a T-square
with Uranus-Zeus on the horizon axis. In essence it is tightly configured with
the Uranus-Pluto-Zeus T-square. The TNP Zeus refers to any kind of creative
fire or controlled and directed energy [1]. When combined with Uranus which
rules electricity we have a clear connection to lightning strikes. In addition
TNP Zeus [17li] is conjunct the star Kraz of Corvus which in ancient mythology
was also connected to storms and lightning so that the cosmic background was
all set for the unusual and dangerous meteorological activity. All that was
needed was a trigger and that was provided by the progressed MC reaching the
conjunction to the eclipse degree on May 12 triggering the event.
The
Uranus-Pluto square is often indicative of the breakdown or end of an old order
so that the ‘lightning strikes’ were also in a way a dramatic expression of retributive destruction. Just two days before
the unusual lightning activity, Motiur Rahman Nizami, the head of Bangladesh’s Jamaat-e-Islami, who during the 1971 freedom
struggle supported militias engaged in mass murder, deportation and genocidal
rape, was hanged.
