Miramichi fire

Post by Jim Eshelman »

October 7, 1825, "evening," Newcastle, New Brunswick
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1825_Miramichi_fire

Somehow, I missed this fire all these years of digging around Wikipedia and history sites. Steve found it and wrote about it this morning, As he summarized:
SteveS wrote: Thu Jul 15, 2021 3:35 am ...one of the top 3 most destructive fires in North America was the Miramichi Fire on 10/07/1825 in the New Brunswick, Canada area (46N30; 66W00). Recently Jim has posted some Lunar Ingress Charts associating em with their malefic symbolism to the destructive fires which have been raging out West due to the drought-heat conditions. Take a look at the “outstanding incident” Mars-Saturn symbolism in the 9/21/1825 Caplunar with the New Brunswick fire...
I thought I should do a full workup and, as it's one of the "worst of the worst," likely include it in a later edition of SMA. (I also need to find what the other two North America leaders are.) I'll use 7 PM as a working interpretation of "evening" and Newcastle, NB as the place - the site of the most horrific damage and the time that the fire "oared through Newcastle... and in less than 3 hours reduced the town of 1,000 people to ruins – of 260 original buildings, only 12 remained."

Month: Caplunar {+2}
(The simple Mars rising is clean. Ve/Ju on an angle detracts. But the power of the close PVP aspects to Mars overwhelms it for destructive fury.)
Mars on Asc 2 22'
Venus & Jupiter more widely foreground
-- Moon-Uranus conj. 0 53' PVP
-- Mars-Uranus sq. 1 23' PVP
-- Moon-Mars sq. 2 08' PVP
-- Venus-Mars conj. 3 01' mundo
-- Ve/Ju on Asc 0 36'

Week: Canlunar (Dormant.)
For the location chosen, this is dormant, though with malefics - especially Mars - just off the angles. As the fire raged across New Brunswick, many affected areas surely had this Mars just a little closer to the angle and, just maybe, the Saturn. - For Miramichi, I'll treat it as dormant.

Week: Arilunar (Dormant.)

Day: Capsolar Quotidian {+2}
