At
least 23 students and teachers have died in a fire at a religious school in
Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur. The fire at the Tahfiz Darul Quran
Ittifaqiyah broke out in the early hours of Thursday morning. The victims are
thought to been trapped in their dormitory as the windows were barred with
metal grilles. "It is one of the country's worst fire disasters in the
past 20 years," Khirudin Drahman, director of the fire and rescue
department, told AFP. Initial counts put the death toll at 25, but police later
revised that down by two. Police said the dead were 21 students - all boys
between the age of 13 and 17 - and two staff members. Sept. 14 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41263147
The cardinal ingresses of the Sun are among the more
important events in mundane astrology. On September 23 the Sun will enter
tropical Libra. A chart for the Libra ingress at Kuala Lumpur is shown
here. Notice the Mercury (in Virgo)
square Saturn (in Sagittarius). Sagittarius
is a sign associated with religion. Saturn is placed in the 5th
house associated with children and the education system [1]. So that we
have a school teaching religion to children. The Mercury-Saturn square adds the
sense of a rigid and conventional religious teaching. However, the
Virgo-Sagittarius square calls for a critical analysis of belief systems. This
is the crisis that this square represents.
But why have we picked out the Mercury-Saturn square and
ignored the rest of the chart? The answer is fairly simple. On September 13,
just a day before the incident, the Last
Quarter Moon with the Moon [20ge] and the Sun [20vi] completed a T-square with
Mercury-Saturn triggering the combination 10 days before the date of the Libra
Ingress.
Saturn is conjunct the stars of Ara, the fiery altar. For events in this area,
of which we have seen two in the recent past [2][3], Diana Rosenberg lists “fires” and writes:
Ara’s flames are here
and Sargas was part of Sar-ur, “Director of Fire” in the Euphratean star-list:
this was the Sun at the great New York City financial district fire of 1835;
these stars were transited when Sherman’s troops burned Atlanta in the US Civil
War; at the 1871 Great Chicago and Peshtigo, WI fires whipped by high winds; at
Chicago’s 1958 Our Lady of Angels Grade
School Fire that killed 90 pupils and 3 nuns; in 1960 Guatemala City insane
asylum fire killed 225 and injured 300; at the 1974 Sao Paulo, Brazil Joelma
Bank fire: 177 died, many jumping to their deaths; at the 1982 Salang Tunnel
disaster, Afghanistan, when an explosion and fire trapped and killed between
1000 and 3000 people; at the 1987 Aries Ingress just before Manchuria’s Great
Black Dragon Fire and several others.
A small digression into the deeper philosophical reasons for
the fire would be relevant here. Let us remember that every outer world
catastrophe is caused by in an inner world resistance to change. For the
degrees of Saturn’s placement conjunct the stars of Ara, Nick Fiorenza writes:
The progression from
late Scorpio into the first few degrees of sidereal Sag offers a powerful transmutational
process, which I refer to as the Ara Initiation. Ara is the Altar of the
Centaur. The mythical image here is of the Centaur placing slain Lupus the
beast with conscious deliberation upon the Centaur's sacrificial altar. If we are not ready to
surrender and relinquish our antiquated emotional baggage, we are held back or
sidetracked, and continue to experience upsets, diversions and even traumatic
and catastrophic events in our lives because we are not truly ready to step
into a greater self-empowerment and greater cosmic consciousness / galactic
awareness.
