Today is an Eris day but this is a Chiron chart. The Moon is splitting the distance between Chiron and Neptune as the jet containing the Polish dignitaries and many others went down in Russia — in the fog. Late degree retrograde Saturn in the 9th house (10th house by whole sign houses) is right in the dynamic.
The Galactic Center (in late Sagittarius) is rising, just like in the Chiron discovery chart. This point is also prominent in the Kitty Hawk first flight chart; Sun/Uranus are close to the GC in that chart. (A very rough looking version of the first flight chart is at this link on Cainer.com.)
The degree of the nadir is “a widow at an open grave,” themed on leaving the past behind.
Indeed.
Yes, Eric, I live in Munich, and Polish people are the warmest, sincerest people in Europe. They literally love Americans as they had two dictators invading them during the war. They were a middle country who was opressed by both Stalin and Hitler. This is a terrible loss for sure. Simply put a tragedy.
I would like to point out 2 aspects of the chart: First in Mundane Astrology the 2nd house is the Nations Wealth where the Head of the Banking Industry was also killed in that same crash. Second, Aquarius represents Big revolution, rebellion always looking for humanistic aims. The President was one of the original members of the “Solidarity Movement” in Poland, and yesterday they all were going to a commencement excerise to honor their soldiers during WWII who were massacred by Russian troops 70 years ago, some 22,000 soldiers. The Russians had always blamed the Nazi’s for this unbelievable war crime, but years later a film was found as evidence proving it was indeed the Russian army that did this unlawful act.
Poland is a warm, embracing and small place. I found Krakow to be the friendliest city in Europe. I am sure this is not a ‘political loss’ but rather a deeply personal loss.
I live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and I can tell you the neighborhood, as a whole, is pretty much devastated by this tragedy.
