The Swine Flu spreads global fear

[Andrew Bevan]

Norwegians are confused why 15 have died due to the Swine Flu in Norway, while only 2 in Sweden, 1 in Finland and 0 in Denmark.

I am now getting in horary questions in from people who have been infected. I will add this data to the thread in the horary section.

Here is the chart for this Summer's Solar Eclipse cast for Oslo.
The eclipse degree is rising in Oslo, although the eclipse was not visible at this locality. The degree of Mars' fall was on the ascendant and Saturn was on the lower midheaven. Maybe this explains why the epidemic is hitting Norway relatively hard.

I would add that those malefics are in humane signs thus indicating human illness.

Anyone worried about infection should remember simple prophylactic measures. Cough and sneeze into a tissue and dispose of it straight away. Wash hands frequently as germs can linger on hard surfaces. Door handles and such like should also be kept clean.

Best wishes

Note that in the eclipse chart Mercury is in 8° Leo. This is where the star cluster Praesepe is. Mars is about to transit this cluster, and therefore the Mercury of the eclipse chart, this weekend.

Although I barely look at fixed stars and nebulae in astrology, I was reminded of this because my astronomy annual mentions this weekend Mars being in Praesepe event. It will be interesting to look at with a pair of binoculars.

Apart from the transit through Praesepe, the transit of Mars over Mercury could be significant as Mercury can mean youth http://www.skyscript.co.uk/mercury1.html In Ptolemy's list of ages of humans Mercury is also listed after the Moon for the youngest with Venus and Sun following. In the Netherlands, several young children and adolescents have died because of the Mexican flu.

[Andrew Bevan]

A little on the side, but years ago I was monitring Mars/Saturn aspects in cases of the 'Crib Death'. By analogy, afflictions involving Praesepe could also be looked into.

Another explaination for why Norway is getting hit hard by the Swine Flu should be found in the Autumn Ingress. Look at this:



The first house, it's ruler, and planets in the first house signify the people.

A mutation of the Swine Flu hs been discovered in Norway, Aftenposten reports today: Link.
The new variation of the virus fastens itself further down into the respiratory system and is more serious, but a new vaccine is not required. Health authorities reassure that there is no need for pannic. The mutation is to have been observed in other countries, too.

Lab tests were sent to London on Tuesday, where the mutation was confirmed.

Check the Astro*Cartography for the most recent lunation as discussed in another thread: http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4892

Report from the Netherlands; 6 people were reported to have died, most of them had another illnes that already had weakened them. The epidemia is said to be milder than expected (18 in 10,000 cases). Today there was also the news that the second vaccination that is given two weeks later usually is not necessary.

A variation of the disease that is resistant to Tamiflu has been discovered in North Carolina, USA, and in Wales, UK.

Might the chart be posted? thanks!

oddly what I see in that chart is Moon and Venus in fire Signs (fever) and neptune, Mars, Jupiter and Chiron all in Airy Aquarius, Breathing, with Sun in Pisces, heart (circulation) and uranus/chaos in the top of the chart in Pisces But that is can all be called 2020 hindsight

The co-ordinates for La Gloria, Veracruz State, are 95W54/18N21; however, there are no exact listings on Astrodienst for this town or the co-ordinates; I did find reference to a town several miles distant, called Nopaltepec (within a few minutes of the La Gloria co-ordinates)

Unfortunately I don't know how to insert an Astrodienst chart onto this forum. Sorry!

In using the above date and Nopaltepec co-ordinates, via the Whole Sign House system, I got mid-Gemini as the Asc, conjunct Aldebaran; the 10th house is loaded with planets and highly energized; Dragon's Tail is in the 3rd house, emphasizing both the publicity of the epidemic as well as its malefic power through interpersonal communication; Pauline profection to the 10th house suggests a heightened "strength" time for the epidemic from mid-December 2009 through the end of January, 2010; however, the profection into the 12th house (which should go toward "endings") --approximately February 2010 -goes into a fertile fixed sign (Taurus in the 12th) which might contribute to the "survival" of the epidemic influence into another cycle, or a retreat "into the earth" (Taurus) to await a new revival in the early summer (Gemini) of 2010.
(Will post more on my analysis of this epidemic chart soon)

ahh, i never use whole house system so I had Very different chart in front of me, I use either Regiomantus or Placidus. But the Planets were in the same signs, regardless of where the house lines are, so I suspect I would still view them the same way. I have a friend who prefers whole house charts. sometiems we have difficulty comparing our vision of the same chart.

PS I'm looking for the article I used to like on Dragons tail and Saturn, allegedly south node aligned with Saturn is a good thing, not bad, but usually denotes a lot of Publicity when it is Near the MC, not IC, so Possibly this chart is upside down? that may indeed be the indicator of its correct manifestation.

You may want to look at this from a scare/propaganda standpoint-
food for thought here;
