World's longest and deepest rail tunnel to open in Switzerland



The world's longest and deepest rail tunnel is to be officially opened in Switzerland, after almost two decades of construction work. The 57km (35-mile) twin-bore Gotthard tunnel will provide a high-speed rail link under the Swiss Alps between northern and southern Europe. Switzerland says it will revolutionise European freight transport. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36423250





The Gotthard Base Tunnel (GBT) is a railway tunnel through the Alps in Switzerland, which opened on 1 June 2016, with scheduled commercial services from December 2016. It is the world's longest and deepest traffic tunnel and the first flat low-level route through the Alps.


The news comes just before the June 5 New Moon in Gemini, a sign associated with roads and by association also tunnels and bridges which link places. A chart for the New Moon drawn for the location of the tunnel with only the elements relevant to our discussion is shown here. Notice that the configuration of Pluto in hard aspect to TNPs Admetus and Zeus is significantly placed straddling the horizon axis. Martha Wescott associates Admetus with obstacles like rocks and mountains and Zeus with machines and concentrated, organized or focused energy. In addition Pluto is in Capricorn, a sign linked to Saturn which rules mountains among other things [1]. Pluto is energy that’s been roiling below the surface and could crescendo into a full-on breakthrough as in a volcanic eruption. But with the TNP Zeus that energy has been organized into a magnificent engineering achievement with the element of good fortune being provided by Jupiter’s trine to Pluto.





Once again the chart for the New Moon serves only as the “minute hand” of the cosmic clock. The “hour hand” is something much bigger, in this case the upcoming lunar eclipse of August 18. A chart for the eclipse at Gotthard has the same configuration of Zeus-Admetus-Pluto straddling the horizon and therefore providing the same kind of energy for breakthrough as discussed above. The eclipse axis squares the TNP Admetus which has just moved into Gemini, the sign linked to tunnels! And if you are ready for more surprises on the IC [25cp] is the star eta Mensa, the Mountain [25cp]!!






Just as we progress eclipse charts we can also regress them. If we do that for June 1, the day the tunnel was opened, we find the eclipse aligns with the horizon axis triggering the event!
