Burmese storm toll 'tops 10,000'

[image: People queue to get drinking water in Rangoon on 5 May 2008] Many

people have been left without drinking water and shelter

 

*More than 10,000 people were killed in a devastating cyclone that hit

western Burma on Saturday, Foreign Minister Nyan Win has said on state TV. *

 

He said his government was ready to accept international assistance. Aid

shipments are now being prepared.

 

Thousands of survivors of Cyclone Nargis are lacking shelter, drinking

water, power and communications, but in many regions help has not yet

arrived.

 

Five regions in which 24 million people live have been declared disaster

zones.

 

Expressing his sadness at the scale of the disaster, UN Secretary General

Ban Ki-moon confirmed that UN officials were meeting Burmese government

representatives to discuss how to help.

 

If the toll is confirmed, Nargis is now the world's deadliest storm since a

1999 cyclone in India killed 10,000 people.

 

Nargis hit the south-east Asian country on Saturday with wind speeds

reaching 190km/h (120mph). It brought with it a sea surge that smashed

through towns and villages.

Earlier on Monday, the death toll was being put at 351 but the foreign

minister later went on TV to announce the figure of at least 10,000.

 

With information still coming in, he warned the toll could yet rise.

 

The towns of Bogalay and Laputta, in the region of Irrawaddy, are among

those locations particularly badly hit, state media have reported.

 

None of the casualty figures have been independently confirmed.

 

The BBC is not permitted to report from Burma, also known as Myanmar.

Dear Jorge,

 

Since last year, I have checked the chart of Myanmar and I find

there will be some disaster (Political /natural) in Myanmar.

However, I could not figure out it would be natural disaster like

this.

 

Can you predict what will happen on 10/Jul/2008 and 8/8/2008?

 

Thank you very for your time.

 

 

 

Khin.

Dear Khin,

 

on 10/Jul/2008, Jupiter, L4, will be again under the influence of the Sun,

L12. But it will not be so bad, as Mercury, L1, is strongly placed in H10.

 

Around 08/08/2008, things can become difficult as L1 will be infant, combust

and afflicted in H12. Jupiter, L4, is retrograde and over the Sun, L12.

 

If you noticed the transits of last saturday, transit Sun, L12, was exactly

in trine with natal Sun, from H8. Also, the 3rd level of dasha has just

started with Rahu (storm) which is natally badly placed in H8 and afflicted

by natal Saturn (wind).

 

Best wishes,

 

Jorge

Dear Jorge,

 

There are many astrologers in Myanmar saying that some political

disaster would happen in Myanmar within 2008. And the dates I

mentioned are some critical ones I can find so far and if you could

find some important dates and events for 2008, please let me know.

 

Thank you very much for your guidance,

 

 

 

Khin.

Dear Khin,

 

The main reason of my first message was to help our dear list members to

clarify existing doubts regarding the rectified chart of Myanmar.

Hello dear Mr. Khin Maung Soe,

 

Currently, there are two transit influences which show the current disaster.

Firstly the transit Rahu-Ketu has formed close aspect/conjunction with natal

sixth lord and secondly the transit Jupiter has come under the close aspect of

natal Rahu from the eighth house.

 

The natal trigger for the disasters is in the form of placement of the Sun in

the natal chart impacting the lord of the ascendant and the MEP of the fourth

house.

 

Middle of August to middle of October seems to be the time when some significant

losses are incurred by the country.

 

Best wishes.
