Solunars by Aldebaran Sidereal Academy

(4/19/2014)

This might seem minor compared to some events, but it's a legitimate "historic worst."

On Friday, April 18, 2014, at 6:30 AM on Mt. Everest, part of a glacier gave way resulting in an avalanche that engulfed 30 sherpas. Of these, 16 died, 10 lived, four are still missing. NY Times called this the worst such single-day death toll in Everest's history.

And how often does one get to do a chart for Mt. Everest, eh?

I'll work it up when I get home next week.

EDIT: The official tine is now listed as 6:45 AM (1:00 UT), The location is 28N00, 86E53. I've edited some of the numbers above with updated figures.

PRECIS
Solar: Mercury Pluto (Uranus). Moon-Jupiter, Uranus-Pluto.
Lunar: Uranus Jupiter (Sun Mercury Mars). Sun-Mars, Sun-Uranus, Mars-Jupiter, Jupiter-Uranus.
Day: Moon-Mars. Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto.
Hour: Saturn.

Year: Capsolar
The Capsolar was dormant. (Moon-Jupiter and Moon-Pluto aspects exist for the whole world.)

Year: Cansolar
Venus squares the MC 1°57' (or conjoins the MC 2°48'). Neptune is 7°49' from the IC. Not the most expressive chart for such an event.

Quarter: Arisolar
The Arisolar set up just a few days before the event. It features:
-- Pluto on Eastpoint (1°48')
-- Mercury square Ascendant (0°12')
-- Uranus on IC (6°02')
-- Moon-Jupiter conjunction (0°39')
-- Uranus-Pluto square (2°09')

Month: Caplunar
The Caplunar is dormant.

Fortnight: Canlunar
Uranus rises (2°05')
Sun rises (4°57')
Mercury rises (4°15')
Jupiter sq. Ascendant (1°48')
Mars sets (7°42')
-- Jupiter-Uranus square (0°42')
-- Sun-Uranus conj. (2°52' mundo)
-- Sun-Mars opposition (1°13')
-- Mars-Jupiter square (1°55' mundo)
-- Sun/Mercury midpoint on Asc (0°21')

Week: Liblunar
The Liblunar is dormant.

Day: Capsolar Quotidian & Transits
CapQ Asc conj t. Jupiter (17'), conj. s. Jupiter (1°16'), op. Pluto (39'), s. Pluto (1°10'), sq. t. Uranus (26')
p. Moon sq. p. Mars (41'), s. Mars (35')
t. Pluto op. s. Moon (21')
t. Jupiter conj. s. Moon (43')

Day: Cansolar Quotidian & Transits
CanQ Dsc conj s. Neptune (32')
t. Saturn conj. CanQ Moon (48')
t. Saturn conj. CanQ Ascendant (10' !!)

Hour: Event Chart
Saturn setting within 3° (it set at 1:13 UT, not quite half an hour later)


SUMMARY
Year (Capsolar): (Dormant.) Moon-Jupiter, Moon-Pluto.
Year (Cansolar) Venus (Neptune).
---- Quarter Mercury Pluto (Uranus). Moon-Jupiter, Uranus-Pluto.
Month: (Dormant.)
---- Fortnight: Uranus Jupiter (Sun Mercury Mars). Sun-Mars, Sun-Uranus, Mars-Jupiter, Jupiter-Uranus.
---- ---- Week: (Dormant.)
Day (Capsolar): Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto, Moon-Mars (CapQ). Moon-Jupiter, Moon-Pluto (transits to Capsolar).
Day (Cansolar): Neptune (CanQ). Saturn, Moon-Saturn (transits to Cansolar).
Hour: Saturn.

If we consult only the "Master Charts" we get:
-- Capsolar dormant. Cansolar is a poor chart. (The quarterly solar was needed in this case.)
-- Caplunar dormant. Immediate lunar ingress was adequate but not impressive
-- CapQ was accurate and descriptive
