2020 April events

Starting it off...

[Jupiter Sets at Dawn]

UK PM Boris Johnson was moved from 10 Downing Street to hospital last night, and just a few minutes ago, 2:30 eastern (although he's in London) to ICU, in case of his having to go on a ventilator.

This case may actually get through to Trump. Johnson's only underlying condition is obesity. Trump is obese and elderly.

UK PM Boris Johnson was moved from 10 Downing Street to hospital last night, and just a few minutes ago, 2:30 eastern (although he's in London) to ICU, in case of his having to go on a ventilator.

The mundane astrology question is: Does anything show for the Prime Minister being down like this. (Related & connected phenomenon: Queen Elizabeth yesterday made a rare, well-received, I think broadly appreciated rallying speech to the nation in the fashion of her father.)

Today, transiting Sun crosses crosses London;'s Capsolar MC. This isn't a transit worthy of a major event, but it's exactly on target, to be improved if Sun also were afflicted.

Strangely - no idea what it means - CapQ Ascendant crosses CapQ Moon.

Worldwide, Cansolar Moons are under assault. For example, transiting Uranus squares Cansolar Moon (not quite joined by transiting Mars). But there isn't anything really obvious otherwise.

Just that blazingly simple mark of transiting Sun conjunct Capsolar MC when the Queen and the Prime Minister are the main stories in the news.

About Noon eastern, April 8th, 2020, Bernie Sanders announced he is ending his campaign for the Democratic nomination.

April 18, 2020, about 10:30 PM ADT, Portapique, Nova Scotia (45N24, 62W42)
New page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nova ... _shootings

At leas 12 people are dead from "a shooting rampage across the northern part of the province of Nova Scotia," according to police. The first attack was in Portapique.

As for time, AP said that the rampage was over and the final showdown location sealed by police tape "by late morning." New York Times said it began about 10:30 PM Saturday night and described it as a "12-hour rampage."

The shooter was captured by RCMP in Enfield (north of Halifax) and later died. "Several building fires" were reported, but there is no confirmation of a connection.

A 3.8 earthquake just hit - something I usually wouldn't even notice and wouldn't warrant mention, except it hit hard enough I would have believed it was a 5.5 or more. It was unusually horizontal, even on the third floor the building rocking rapidly back and forth. I was correct about it being nearby - it's in the Windsor Park area of Los Angeles, just below Baldwin Hills (sort of south of Culver City). I'm curious why it would seem to have such impact - what chart factors would cause that.

Usually, a quake that causes no real harm but a lot of emotional commotion for a short bit is a Neptune event. Let's see...

A perfectly fitting set of charts for a punchy-feeling quake that got our attention but caused no damage.
