Okay - what did I say a few posts ago ."With so much emphasis on a small number of signs though, the focus will remain on politicians, businesses, in particular airlines, telecommunications, technology and electronics companies and we'll hear of many more mergers, alliances and collaborations. The House of Commons and the U.N. will also be much in the news as will Switzerland and Swiss Banks.
Jupiter in Aquarius is the one to watch this year as it correlates to a Jupiter/Uranus conjunction and this is one of the most unpredictable, life-changing mergers in the astrological pantheon. It's the placement of the extraordinary, the radical, the revolutionary, the miraculous and the unbelievable - in both the positive and negative sense of the words".
The words incredible, amazing, unbelievable are certainly in order here. As ex cabin crew I know exactly how miraculous it is that all passengers and crew (155 souls, as we call them in the profession) of US 1549 appear to have survived this crash into the Hudson River. Praise The Lord residents of New York!
So was it a bird strike, ice or something more nefarious?? Losing both engines to a bird strike has to be unusual but let's wait and see. These things can happen and all pilots are trained and drilled all the time to ditch their aircraft - always with gear up. In fact all signs are this was a text book ditching procedure.
SPECULATION
Evidence of cyclical activity echoing back to 2001 is apparent. Mars on Sep 11th was at the exact position as Pluto is today and the Moon at the time of today's crash was again at the 28 degrees point of a mutable sign, as on Sep 11th 2001. However, all this indicates is that situations involving planes crashing in New York may 'resonate' to these two degree points in the 360 circle. The Mars/Uranus midpoint at 1 degree of the cardinals and many midpoints involving 28 mutables were also activated in the Nov 12th 2001 plane crash involving an American Airlines flight coming down in Queens, NY.
For those interested in even more technical detail of astrological cycles, 27 years ago on 13 January 1982 at 16.01 EST a plane came down in the Potomac River. The MC/IC for that incident was the degree of the current Saturn/Uranus opposition - 19-21 mutables. Sadly many people lost their lives in that disaster which was attributed to weather and pilot error.
AstroCartoGraphy of 15.20 EST today
Venus/Uranus (lucky aircraft!) midpoint on the MC closing in on NY by 15.23
Neptune/Poseidon and Chiron/Poseidon midpoints setting and Pluto setting too, exactly through Washington DC but still within orb of NYC. Click to enlarge. Pluto right over Washington is so apt. Not only must it have spooked those in corridors of power when the news came in but again memories of that awful day in 1982 would have caused a lot of pain to the friends and families, who still live in the area, of those who died.
UPDATE 16 Jan 2009 - Crash time now confusion died down is reported as 15.31 putting Uranus almost bang on MC in NYC
