In all reports, TV news, articles and
footages there is always one of those ever-present and
seemingly unavoidable topics such as traffic accidents,
natural disasters, floods, hurricanes and the like. They
almost make you wish not to travel ever again! However,
there are always those who love far-off countries and
exotic scents of the unknown, those whose adventurous
spirit is simply unbreakable. On the other hand, in the
modern world, it is difficult to go around the town and
travel to work without using some of the means of public
or private transport. This is another way of travelling
compulsory and not quite as pleasant and appealing.
Most of you will already be
familiar with the fact that when Mercury is retrograde,
any kind of travelling should be avoided. However, even
more disturbing is the fact that
the influence of retrograde Mercury starts as
soon as it begins gearing up for reverse motion, which
prolongs its retrograde effect. Thus, a couple of days
before Mercury officially starts travelling in reverse,
one can feel its negative effects. The astrological term
for this is stationary motion. Even the shortest
possible trip can turn into a tragic one.
 A
big traffic accident occurred on
29 July 1998 (14:51h, 019E51, 45N15 -2 EET) on
the road between the town of Novi
Sad and Temerin. On that day, Mercury was
in stationary motion which, by itself, is one of the
conditions for its negative effects. In addition,
Mercury touched the famous fixed star
Regulus. This star
usually brings glory, but also inglorious or, to be more
precise, tragic fate of a person or event, depending on
the point of view. When Mercury touched
Regulus, a traffic
accident occurred which hit the headlines of all daily
newspapers. The news (Mercury) went all around the
country and reached the glory of
Regulus!
Time of accident
This is all very clear in the
horoscope of the time of accident. The Ascendant is at
the 22nd degree of
Scorpio, which supports the fact that violent
death and injuries will occur. This is additionally
confirmed by Pluto in the 1st house - the ruler of both
the horoscope and the 12th house. The third
house showing the street is at the 0 degree of Aquarius
- the exact place where Neptune is found in the vicinity
of Uranus - both in opposition to the Sun in Leo placed
at the 9th house. On the crossroads, a truck
hit a bus cutting it in half. Such things tend to happen
when there is a collision of planets (opposition)
enforced by the signs they are in. The Sun is in
rulership, in Leo, meaning that it is powerful. Uranus
is also in its rulership, however in the sign opposite
to unpredictable Aquarius. Neptune, as the major culprit
for misjudgements and errors is exalted in Aquarius
opposition Mercury, the planet of traffic. This Mercury,
which was preparing to start travelling in reverse, is
in Leo, in a very adverse falling position on that
day, place and time it really did hit the ground very
hard. In accordance with such planetary position,
everything happened suddenly and unexpectedly. Aquarius
in the 3rd house tells us that the accident
took place in the vicinity of Novi Sad, because this
town is born under Aquarius. The bus was taking people
back home from work. This can be seen from two
retrograde planets in the third house. What happened to
the people?
There were a lot of casualties
and fatalities. In astrology, we can learn about people
mostly from the position of the Moon. In this chart, it
is in square with the Moon in decline, that is, Cancer.
Therefore Mars, coming from the 8th house,
the house of deaths and tragedies, is adversely
aspecting the Moon (people, nation). This position tells
us about many injuries, fractures, wounds and lot of
blood. The house of health is the 6th house
where Saturn is placed, announcing nothing but poor
health. Saturn at the 3rd degree (degree of
Gemini) tells us about health problems possibly caused
by traffic. Since Saturn rules wrists and bones, the
most common injuries were fractures of arms or legs,
because it was at the degree of Gemini. The ruler of the
6th house is Venus in Cancer, which enabled
attending to the casualties and providing them with the
adequate medical care. Now, there is only one more
question left. Who could survive this accident and
remain completely unhurt? Below is the horoscope of a
girl who pulled this off.
Survivor
Her natal
chart (26/06/1978, 00:30h, 20E53, 42N53 -1 CET)
is a genuine example of a lucky person who will get out
of any massive accident, particularly if it occurs in
traffic. In her 3rd hose (traffic) there is
Gemini, which often makes her go, move and travel
somewhere. Her Sun in this house gives her love for
motion and a considerable resourcefulness in traffic.
There is also Mercury, the planet of traffic, in
conjunction with exalted Jupiter in Cancer all of them
being the symbols of luck in transportation and on the
road particularly at shorter distances. Such Jupiter
is a part of a big water trine with extra intuitive Moon
in Pisces found in the 12th house and exalted
and thus powerful Uranus in Scorpio. Such trine can be
found in the charts of really sensitive and intuitive
persons whose premonitions are never wrong. This is why
before getting on the bus, this girl had a very strange
feeling that something dangerous was about to happen.
Another good thing about this planetary arrangement is
that it considerably protects the life itself. The only
aspect harming this nice trine is Pluto square Jupiter,
which places the person with such horoscope among many
people who will die. Whenever
there is a negative aspect with Pluto, crowds should be
avoided for, in this exact environment, very bad things
might happen. This girl had already
experienced that for, on many occasions, she could have
been harmed. However, she always managed to pull through
without any consequences.
Comparing the horoscope of the
time of accident to the birth chart of this girl, we get
a typical example of the planetary position which puts a
person in danger. Saturn in its transit motion always
indicates the troublesome area. It was travelling
exactly through her Ascendant (personality). This put
her in a very critical situation which could possibly
inflict physical wounds to her body. Mercury, ruling her
house of traffic, was gearing up for reverse motion and
achieved conjunction with her natal Saturn, again
warning her about the possible traffic problems on the
way back from a journey. In addition to the retrograde
Mercury, this return is denoted by Saturn, the planet of
past and history, which always pulls us a couple of
steps backwards. At a big protector, Jupiter, there was
a red attacker Mars questioning her luck and irritating
her protector, challenging him to a duel. In this
conjunction, Jupiter was stronger being exalted while
Mars, placed in Cancer, was weakened and in decline. The
Moon is responsible for all daily events in quick
succession, particularly if they concern people or
masses. Transiting Moon (masses) found itself in her
natal Pluto (death) in the 6th house (daily
life) making her witness massive deaths and wounds of
people doing something that she did every day riding
on a public bus.
Therefore,
transiting planetary motion attacked the lucky big trine
and since transit describes a moment instead of the
whole life, like natal, this girl was a part of an
incredible accident and came out of it without a
scratch.
Tsunami survivor
The second interesting example
concerns the event which stunned the whole world. It is
about the biggest catastrophe of the century, tsunami,
which took the toll of 200 thousand lives. Some still
managed to survive, according to many, the biggest
cataclysm of all times. Before we
start analyzing this tragic event, I will firstly
introduce the horoscope of a girl who survived
(24/09/1971, 10:00h, 20E05, 45N56 -1 CET).
It is striking how powerful her
1st and 10th house are. They tell us about a
very strong personality who knows who she is and what
her needs and life goals are. In addition to being
successful at work, she lives her life to the full,
travels around the world, speaks several foreign
languages, goes in for different sports and occasionally
experiences real adventures. Her 1st house is
in Scorpio, making her always curious and inquisitive.
Neptune and Jupiter in Sagittarius help her preserve
optimistic and cheerful spirit and be much more outgoing
and sociable than persons with Ascendant in Sagittarius
normally are. The ruler of her two houses 1st
(personality) and 12th (premonitions, dreams)
is Pluto at the 29th degree of Virgo, which
is the degree of premonitions so strong that they border
clairvoyance. This gives her strongly pronounced
intuition. And what can she be intuitive about?
Naturally, mass catastrophes
symbolized by Pluto!
 On
the other hand, the persons who have this planet as a
ruler want to get to the bottom of everything that
catches their interest. With Neptune in the 1st
house in Sagittarius the sign symbolizing sport this
girl adores diving. Therefore, in this case, it is about
the bottom of the sea. This preference is reflected in
Neptune (sea, ocean) conjunction Jupiter (sport,
leisure). Such aspect often brings her to the wide open
surfaces of water, which is where she often travels. The
ruler of the 9th house (travelling) is the
Moon which is placed in her Ascendant. Thus, she cannot
resist temptations to constantly explore all the
countries around the globe. She even managed to turn her
passion into her job and had been working for a long
time in tourism. The Moon
at the 22nd degree (death, murders) of
Scorpio (the sign of death, danger, water) at one point
had to be activated to take her where people (the Moon)
would be exposed to massive catastrophe and death.
Due to the Moon at the cusp of her 1st house,
she had to be there. In this
famous 2004, she decided to visit Thailand a genuine
paradise for divers. She went there with
her boyfriend, who is also a sporty type and adores
swimming and diving. One seemingly peaceful and sunny
Sunday on 24 December, at the suggestion of this
incredibly intuitive girl, this love couple decided to
spend the rest of the day in the room playing cards. She
simply wanted to relax a bit. The scenario which will
mark their lives forever was as follows: In the middle
of the card game, the girl noticed an incredibly huge
wave approaching their hotel on the beach
(she-Ascendant, saw a huge wave Neptune in Sagittarius
huge, conjunction Jupiter-really huge wave!). Seeing
the imminent danger from the wave, both of them jumped
and started running (to run away-Neptune) as fast as
they could. They ran uphill, along the path behind the
hotel. They managed to survive while the horrible wave
destroyed and swept away everything. When the situation
subsided, the local people helped them pack and go to
Bangkok. They took the first plane home.
As in the previous example,
firstly we will focus on the transiting planetary
motions of that day and aspects with her natal chart.
Saturn, in its retrograde motion through Cancer (where
it is in decline), was leaving the 9th house
(foreign country) and entering the 8th house
(death, drowning). Mars (attack, challenge) had just
entered Sagittarius thus placing itself at the Neptune
conjunction Jupiter in her 1st house, putting
her aspect of luck on a trial. At the same time, Uranus
(tremor) from Pisces (sea, ocean) made a square toward
this lucky conjunction in her 1st house and
toward Saturn in the 7th house forming a
powerful T square which indicates a dangerous moment.
Concurrently, transiting Pluto (mass killings) was at
the unfortunate 22nd degree of Sagittarius
(travel, foreign country) square natal Mercury which
rules her house of death (8). Transiting Neptune (water,
wave) was at her natal Mars in the 3rd house
ruling the 5th (boyfriend, summer holidays), which is
why the first response to the coming wave was fast
running. The 3rd house indicates the way we
walk and move, while Mars in the exact trine with Uranus
produces excellent sprinters or, at least, fast runners.
Transiting Jupiter was exactly on her Uranus in the 9th
house, which contributed to the speed of decision making
and a happy end. To cut the long story short, all
difficult planets activated many aspects of this
horoscope. When we observe the influence of external
planets, we have to bear in mind that they cause events
over which we do not have much influence.
In such moments, only well-arranged and lucky planetary
positions in our birth chart can save us - those
operating throughout natal life.
Jupiter presents the biggest
possible luck and persons having it in the 1st
house have more than its share.
When Jupiter is placed in this house, it physically
protects the body, and in sextile with the Sun main
source of life produces an extremely powerful
planetary capacity reflected in the survival instinct
and struggle for life, despite the unfavourable
circumstances. Favourable aspects between the Sun (life)
and Jupiter (luck) are an unavoidable link in the chains
of life struggle. In this case, natus is always
well-protected and if something bad is about to happen
to it, it will manage to pull through and recuperate
very quickly. In this horoscope, the fortune and
deliverance from God worked together, which is shown in
Jupiter conjunction Neptune. It is a common knowledge
that Neptune is the god of the sea and thus, this luck
was mostly used on protecting from powerful big waves.
In this case, Neptune symbolises
another important factor of salvation cards.
Game of cards made them stay in the room instead of
going to another diving from which this girl and her
boyfriend would have never returned. Further, Neptune
helped Jupiter to do the rest and bring this story to
the happy end. In addition,
Jupiter is very strongly positioned in this
horoscope being in its seat Sagittarius where it is
the most powerful and at home. At the same time, this
explains why some people have more luck than others and
why we say born under a lucky
star!!!
