Kumbakonam Fire/Cancer Ingress

The fire today in India (July 16, 2004 @ 11:00 AM in Kumbakonam) that

killed at least 81 children was started in the kitchen due to some sort

of shorted wiring while lunch was being prepared...

 

I tried a number of lunation charts, as well as solar, lunar, anlunar

and eclipse charts to bring this combination up to angles for the event,

but didn't have any luck. I also calculated the ennead, but no luck

there either.

 

What did show up however (and here's that Capricorn thing again) was the

current CapLunar of July 3rd for New Delhi that placed 18 Cancer at the

MC. Relocated from the capital at Delhi to the event location, 20 Cancer

is up at the MC, or the exact IC of the Indian independence chart...

Steve, this seems to be a firm hit for the F-B Caplunar. Compared to the

results of the Krishnamurti Cancer ingress (below), your result again

suggests that the Sun and Moon may march to different zodiacal

underpinnings. I have yet to research the Caplunar.

 

Users of the Fagan-Bradley ayanamsa are fond of pointing out that since the

Moon moves so much faster than the Sun, it's the lunar ingress charts that

show the superiority of that ayanamsa. A overlooked fact is that the Moon

changes its position by the same time increment in the solar ingress charts

cast for different ayanamsas. The Moon is our main astrological timing

mechanism, and in the west we should probably be considering the Moon's

position in the solar ingress charts as important as the ascendant degree.

 

The fire tragedy of yesterday in India illustrates the importance of the

solar ingress Moon. The timing of the fire is another example of the

difference between the Krishnamurti and Fagan-Bradley ingress charts,

similar to the timing of the Gay marriage flap in San Francisco in February.

 

That K Aquarius ingress placed Saturn-Venus squarely on the angles, and the

Moon/Ketu conjoined fixed stars in the constellation of Libra. For that

event the K ingress happened just before the news broke on the public

scene. Similarly, the K Cancer ingress happened just prior to yesterday's

tragic fire, while the F-B ingress didn't occur until after the event.

 

Neighbors reported seeing smoke around 11:30 according to news reports, so

I set the timing of the fire at 11:20. This is an approximate time until a

more exact time hits the news. First, let's look at the Krishnamurti

ingress chart which occurred on July 16 at 5:59:48 a.m. This is a very

critical chart for Kumbakonam. 29 Gemini 42 rises. Pluto is in the 6th at

26 Scorpio in quincunx aspect to the ascendant. The fixed star Pollux is at

29 Gemini 27 on the ascendant, the Sun of course being at 0 Cancer.

 

Aside from being in the critical 29th degree, Pollux is of reddish hue, and

Ptolemy assigned the nature of this star to Mars. The ascendant lord

Mercury is at 24 Cancer conjunct Mars at 20 Cancer. Neptune opposes this

duo from 22 Capricorn near the cusp of the 8th equal house cusp. If an

astrologer had checked this ingress chart in Kumbakonam, the red warning

lights would have immediately started flashing.

 

The Moon at 14Ge00 is conjunct Saturn and forms a grand trine with Urauns

at 12Aq30 and Ketu at 13Li27. Whereas single trines seem to be benefic, the

grand trine more often than not seems to have a malefic influence. This is

a close trine which equates to a conjunction in Aquarius in the navamsa

chart, the 6th house sign in the event chart for the fire.

 

Moving ahead to the event, we see that the Moon has come to the M.C. which

places the ingress Ketu-Uranus focus just on this angle. Saturn is on the

other side of the M.C. with the Sun. Rahu in Mars-ruled Aries is on the 8th

equal cusp. The ascendant at 17 Virgo is the focus of a yod (common in

major quake charts) from Uranus in the 6th and Rahu in the 8th. The Neptune

opposite Mars aspects the ascendant via the trine and sextile. Ascendant

lord Mercury is with Mars. So the primary stress aspects in the ingress

chart only hours before are configured with the angles in the event chart.

The timing mechanism was the Moon reaching the M.C. of Kumbakonam.

 

This is exactly the type of event aspect maturity that has happened in all

the K solar ingress earthquake charts I've looked at. This kind of aspect

maturity is also evident in the 9-11 chart. We have a wonderful predictive

tool in the Krishnamurti solar ingress charts. I wish more astrologers

would look at these charts. I didn't start out to ‘sell' the Krishnamurti

ayanamsa, but accidentally noticed the correlation with ingress charts and

events earlier this year.

 

There are several other significant fixed stars in these charts. I'll try

to write a more extensive article this week and post it on my web site. For

now you can view the ingress and event charts here:

The event is listed under " Current News Archives. " There is a flashing

" New " sign beside the link. The link to the charts is part way through the

article, which is a little different than this post.

 

This event was very serious and incredibly heartbreaking. And...since the

Cancer ingress hadn't yet occurred in the Fagan-Bradley zodiac, this is an

opportunity for astrologers who use that zodiac to show how the progressed

Cap or Aries solar ingress planets *clearly* show this event. Does anyone

want to try? Or is the Caplunar for the month the closest we can come?
