Brief update…I just talked to a commercial pilot who said that some big storms can be quite high up; then Cam passed along this excellent analysis by a pilot<\/strong><\/a> as well. I have to say while this kind of issue makes me cringe a little bit, it takes nothing away from my love of aviation and my respect for its pioneers and pilots. We who are willing to climb aboard airplanes, no matter how advanced they seem today, are among them.

On an astrology update, one of our readers points out the obvious that I missed, the potential that a 12th Pluto in Cap points to something sinister, despite the perfectly viable storm thesis (outlined in the analysis above). There are other excellent comments below, clarifying my questions about navigation issues. Thanks guys.

For those wondering or writing in about the chart for Air France 447 from Rio to Paris, I’ve checked the takeoff chart — and like the incident itself, the chart reveals very little on the first few looks. Honoring the traditions of horary astrology I am not delving into asteroids and centaurs; when an event chart speaks, it will speak through the basic planets. With horary we are not looking for psychological details, but rather a clue to the fate of the passengers and the aircraft. Yet the main clues seem to be psychological in nature. And we are distinctly lacking something vis a vis technology.

This is not a crash chart; that is impossible to place, because we don’t know whether there was a crash and if so, where it happened. The information we need should be in the takeoff chart, which is cast for just past 7 pm local time yesterday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.<\/p>\n

The closest thing we get to a clue is that Pluto is four degrees from the ascendant, in the 12th house; that is to say, Pluto is rising. Pluto is in the ascendant range (say, within 20 degrees) for about 80 minutes a day; in this chart, it rose about 15 minutes earlier. While I’m not surprised to see that in this chart, it’s not enough to say ‘ill fated’ much less offer a clue as to the nature of the fate itself.<\/p>\n

The fact that Mercury stationed direct in Taurus less than one day earlier is also a clue; Mercury retrograde is famous for technical issues that can become increasingly complex if they are over-reacted to. Still, that is not a concrete cause or even sufficient to implicate anything. The Moon in Virgo is in a close, applying trine to Mercury, which is the one thing in this chart that does point to the recent station-direct.<\/p>\n

When looking at the nature and cause of death, the 8th house and its ruler are planets well worth checking out; and in this case, we have the first degree of Leo on the cusp, which points to the Gemini Sun. The Sun also rules the 9th, which is the house of aviation. The Sun is placed in the 6th; which suggests that whatever occurred might have been complicated by a health issue in one of the pilots. Given the fact that there were three pilots on board this airplane at the time of the crash, were there a pilot issue involved, it’s unlikely to have been mere disability; the issue would have to be psychological, such as a dispute or power struggle; these things happen, but they are unlikely.<\/p>\n

Most of us have taken a trans-Atlantic flight; there is a lot that can go wrong with an aluminum tube 40,000 feet above the ocean traveling at close to the speed of sound. I don’t see any indication that something truly extraordinary happened (such as something Bermuda Triangleish), in case that’s what anyone is thinking. But the questions are still odd. Why for example can I be tracked to 15 feet with the GPS unit in my phone, while a state of the art aircraft is not being followed along by GPS? How come I haven’t heard the term GPS, which was designed for aircraft, mentioned once yet?<\/p>\n

It was a strange weekend; the news has been rife with relatively small events that feel like they have profound significance — such as the assassination of a prominent abortion doctor while he was working as an usher in church; a shooting at an Army recruiting station; Susan Boyle coming in second place and checking into a psych ward; then the GM bankruptcy today. Reading your personal accounts below, there has been a lot of pent up energy trying to break itself loose. Mercury is still slow and powerful and is going to take over a week to reach a square to the Aquarius alignment.<\/p>\n

Easy does it. Take every opportunity to do less, to rest, to think and to take care of your body. By the time Mercury reaches its square to the conjunction next weekend, you will be happy you did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
