The Aries Solar Eclipse of March 29th is certainly living up to its turbulent Saros Series with a major 7.7 magnitude earthquake hitting Myanamar and Thailand with many dead and injured. It is the strongest quake to hit Thailand since the 1839 Ava Earthquake, of 8.3 in magnitude.
The Partial Solar Eclipse of 29th March located to Mandalay has Venus, Saturn, North Node and Scheat all on the chart axis conjunct the Descendant.
The previous Lunar Eclipse has Mars conjunct the Ascendant and Mercury on the Midheaven.
The Burma 4 January 1948 4.20am chart has a Capricorn Sun square Neptune catching the Solar Eclipse and tr Saturn square the Uranus.
Thailand, 24 June 1932 5 am Bangkok, is even more obviously affected with the emotionally upsetting Solar Eclipse square the Venus in Cancer and the Mars in Gemini trine Saturn in Aquarius under assault from tr Pluto conjunct the Saturn now and tr Neptune sextile the Mars. With more problems looming as tr Uranus heads for Gemini.

The moment I saw the headlines for this terrible tragedy I was immediately reminded of your thesis, Marjorie, that a natural (or other) catastrophe always signals a turmoil coming to a country where it happens in. It’s like a Tower card and Tower-moment in tarot.
Have you perhaps looked at the stars of the Thai king? Dunno who else is in charge there, not only in government but in the royal court as well.
Sounds faintly akin to the Chinese “Mandate of Heaven” approach; that a natural disaster is indicative of the Mandate of Heaven to govern the country being withdrawn from the then reigning dynasty.
CNN recently posted an article regarding earthquake predictions. Seems to have been deleted? The summary was that predictive science (and “other” methods) is useless for anticipating earthquakes.
Yet here is proof that eclipses can provide accurate anticipation of such issues.
Science is quite happy to state that the Moon has a magnetic pull on the Earth and governs the earth tides, as well as women’s menses cycle, yet some appear to dismiss other Planets? We would not exist without the Sun, as nothing would grow. We would die – as it is our “life source”. The planets are aligned, the great Astrological year appears to coincide with antiquity events. Perhaps not enough attention is paid to why our planets are aligned and don’t go AWOL in the Universe? It starts with the Sun and ends with the Moon, which is our magnetically balanced water/fluids status quo. Perhaps the Moon and the Sun act together in maintaining this alignment? One cannot exist without the other. The Chinese Yin and Yang have both as equal rulers in our Universe. Both within the other, for balance. As if the Moon can control our planet Earth fluids – why not other planets controlling other aspects? Maybe we are looking too far ahead for some valid answers and not actually studying the relations between this alignment. Before the Age of Enlightenment both Astrology and Astronomy were considered important. Maybe the split has made us lose sight of how we are actually governed. As many dismissed the stars for their own science!
Mostly because then begins the faith vs reason war….as astrology usually ends up there and science in logic though both r nothing but pure mathematics probability theory.
“The summary was that predictive science (and “other” methods) is useless for anticipating earthquakes.”
To an extent, it is. We could predict that some sort of turbulent event would happen around this Solar Eclipse.
But we (astrologists) could not predict where and precisely when it would happen to allow us to focus protective resources at that place at that time.
We have a general sense of something about to happen, but one would want something far more precise and refutable to prove that astrology can deliver verifiable predictions.
What we do know is the general influence that the planets and Nodes have on us and on nature. What we do not know is the precise impact it can have.
The identical astrological event can have different impacts on different people and different places, based on other astrological influences (such as the Asc-Des and MC-IC axes) and on people’s personalities.
That is why I don’t think we can take astrology as a predictive science (which should be refutable and repetitive). What we can do is use astrology to prepare ourselves for the general direction of travel, not the specific destination we’ll land in.
