LaPorte, TX chemical plant leak

[Jim Eshelman]

On November 15, 2014, at about 4:00 AM in LaPorte, TX, a chemical leak began at a DuPont plant. Four people died, one was hospitalized.

Year: Capsolar The Capsolar is dormant. Like the rest of the world, the Moon-Jupiter-Pluto aspects are there.

Year: Cansolar The Cansolar is dormant, though Neptune is the closest planet (< 4°). Like the rest of the world, a Moon-Mercury square is present.

Quarter: Libsolar
Mars squares Ascendant (0°57') and is 1°13' from IC. Moon squares Saturn (as for the rest of the world, 1°12'). - The only solar ingress that is non-dormant two malefics dominating it.

Month: Caplunar
Moon squares MC (1°19'). Mercury and Uranus are distantly foreground, with the Moon-Mercury square only 0°09' in mundo.

Week: Canlunar & Arilunar
The Canlunar is dormant. Therefore, the Arilunar persists (via flow-through) as the chart of the week. It's a really bad chart for the event:
Moon-Mercury opposition (0°05' in mundo)
Jupiter on MC (0°21')
Venus on Asc (0°45')
Sun on Asc (3°31')
-- Venus-Jupiter square (0°24' in mundo)
-- Sun-Venus conjunction (2°46' in mundo)
Saturn on EP (1°19')

Day: Capsolar Quotidian & Transits
CapQ Asc op. CapQ Mercury (0°08'), s. Mercury (1°16')
CapQ EP op. CapQ Sun (0°22')
t. Uranus sq. s. Moon (0°49')

Day: Cansolar Quotidian & Transits
CanQ EP op. s. Venus (0°02'), CanQ Venus (0°24')
t. Pluto sq. CanQ Moon (0°57')
t. Neptune op. s. Asc (1°26')

Overall, this is a very disappointing example. Only the Libsolar was truly expressive. The lunar ingresses for exactly the opposite of what we'd expect, and the daily timing was generic and repid. - Best guess: This was a really small event of little impact past the few days of its news cycle. (Notice that Mercury is the most consistently involved planet, all the way down to the CapQ. The main "event" here was "La Porte will be in the news," I think.)

This is a really good example of not finding much among the usual suspects, and then not going off on tangents trying to find something, anything, to explain what happened. No nodes, no asteroids, no fixed stars beaming negative energy, no lunar mansions, no retrograde Mercury, no tweaking, no excuses.

This is where integrity shows. This is real astrology.

Thanks, Jim.

Thanks for noticing.

I had minor things I could have legitimately checked, e.g., transits and Qs of Arisolar and Libsolar. But it didn't seem worthwhile, especially since those aren't techniques we'd normally consult (and their results are really weak).
