Hurricane Hermine

[Jim Eshelman]

Hurricane Hermine landed as a hurricane and then degraded to a tropical storm as it headed toward Georgia and the Carolinas. (Tropical storm warnings have been issued along a stretch from New Jersey to Rhode Island.) New York Times lists 1:30 AM, September 2 as the time of landfall, quoting the National Hurricane Center; the location was just east of St. Marks, Florida, with sustained winds of 80 mph.

Here is the Wikipedia article, which likely will evolve for a while.

Four deaths were directly caused by the hurricane, and one more indirectly caused. (A tree fell on a camper and killed him. They haven't decided if the storm caused the tree to fall.) Property damages were $300.5 million.

Thousands were without power. The main further risk from the degraded storm is in terms flash-floods. (Is it my imagination, or have flash-floods become more common, almost routine, under Saturn-Neptune and abundant Uranus?) Impact we would expect to show astrologically would include all the "severe inconvenience" elements of no power, altered life conditions, unreliable resources, enhanced survival concerns, etc., even though there is little or no loss of life. I don't yet have figures on property damage.

EVENT CHART: At 1:30 AM when landfall occurred, Midheaven at St. Marks, FL was 14° Aquarius, meaning that the Sun-Mars-Saturn-Neptune T-square was right on the angles (Mars least so). The Sun-Saturn-Neptune "T" was all contained within 0°33', with Sun-Saturn only 0°05'. -- What is even more staggering is that the Cansolar angles for St. Marks, FL already identified it as one of the places in the country that this quadruple T-square would hit hardest!

NEW MOON/ECLIPSE: This occurred within a day following a New Moon which was also an annular solar eclipse. Traditional (pre-SMA) mundane astrology would consider this the most obvious defining chart for analyzing the event. The eclipse chart for St. Mark's has nothing of the slightest interest, so we only have the general atmospheric disturbance world wide of an eclipse occurring. Again, historic Tropical mainstays of mundane astrology failed miserably.

On the other hand, the Sidereal ingresses were horribly wonderful.
