The Oil Slick

Sophie

Bad PR is true enough!

I wonder if it's reflected in the charts. That afflicted Mercury?

I've now got a slightly more accurate location for that first Oil strike in 1908,

The strike was at Masjed Soleyman, 31°N58'; 049°E18'

The description has the Oil gushing into the dawn sky, and gives an approximate time of around 4 am - That would give Taurus rising and the Sun in Gemini in the First House. Mercury is also likely to be in the first or second depending on how soon after 4 the strike gushed. Mercury is in Gemini and rules the second house - the strike is clearly associated with the future BP's earning power and that is also clearly strong.

Latest Update

The first profection for August is for 19th , when the profected MC perfects a sextile to the the radix Moon in the eighth. As we have seen the MC represents the public status of the rig and the resulting slick, either through the management of BP, or the clean up operation (also managed by BP).

The Moon has a symbolism relating to the public, which can reinforce the above point, but more particularly, in the explosion chart the Moon was Lord 8, an accidental malefic. So this aspect does not signify particularly good news - indeed quite the reverse.

Today (19th August) there has been a public announcement that a 22 mile plume of oil droplets has been discovered, showing that the claimed dispersal has not been as successful as claimed.

Also today, the Guardian reports:
'
The administration faces further pushback today in a congressional hearing on the fate of the oil and the safety of seafood from the Gulf.'

Profection for 24th August

No immediate news yesterday but today we have an announcement that BP will no longer seek for an exploration licence in Greenland as a direct result of the Oil Spill.

The profected Part of Fortune (health and well being) sextiled the Moon (Lord 8 in the explosion chart). Not a very bad aspect, but it shows that the deaths (both human, animal and environmental) are still having an effect on the health of the company.

Further evidence that Astrology does work and can come up with real predictions.

Again, already

There has been another oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, 100 miles south of Vermillion Bay and some 200+ miles west of the Deep Water Horizon site. This happened this afternoon, more details later. Dave

Yes! Very worrying. Thanks for the Guardian link Minderwiz.

Bee :)

Well declared 'dead'

On 19th September the well was declared dead, as the last cement was piped in. This was exactly on the date when the profected MC trined Venus (see profection list on page 3). Venus has two house rulerships in the explosion chart. Firstly it is Lord 6, and amongst other things the 6th represents servants (employees). It also is Lord 11, which signifies the King's servants (the US government team involved). So Venus is a good symbol of the combinef clean up effort.

It now seems that this particular incident is closed

Minderwiz, I do not believe this 'incident' is closed.

Maybe the well has been capped, but many people are becoming quite ill because of exposure to the toxins (from dispersant used and oil spill). BP and the EPA I don't feel are being upfront about the real damage/incident (the evidence is on the ocean bed floor) nor the extent of the damage.
