Kronos Odysseus: April 21st 2000
A client wants to know if it's "safe to fly during a given time frame"
Thinkin' aloud here.... a client wants to know if it's "safe to fly during a given time frame" (and with her chart, that's a potent question, radix Hades/Neptune = Apollon-Orpheus...now with Kronos-t to it!) Among the tacts I've taken was to apply lunation charts to the Egypt Air and Alaska Airlines flights, and look at (and beyond) some of the traditional things that don't require the day's Sun in the formula (such as: Ne + Kr - Mars, and Mo + Ne - Sa.)
1. Egypt Air: crashed 10.31.99, applicable New Moon: 11.08.99, departure site: New York.
On the dial, NM = Aries = Daedalus/Pluto = Pluto/Apollon = Mars/(Hekate (night)/Opheus) = Odysseus, Rx/Pandora Lunation ASC (for flight departure locale) = Kronos = Daedalus = Appllon-Vulcanus = Saturn-Uranus Lunation MC (flight departure site) = Poseidon = Phaethon, Rx = Hades = Requiem = Pluto/Kronos = Pandora/(Neptune-Atropos) [So I also want to see what Klotho has to do with flights that crash on take-off.]
The lunation featured an octile between Mercury and Mars, and this axis = Hades/Kronos; lunation Icarus = Admetus; lunation Kronos/Neptune = Kronos/Orpheus = both the Sun and Mercury for the actual crash; lunation Odysseus, Rx/Orpheus = Kronos = Uranus = Apollon and Vulcanus; lunation Mars/Uranus = Mercury/Kronos = Orpheus/Hekate = Jupiter/Neptune = Pluto/Hades = Odysseus, Rx/Admetus.
The Ascendant of the crash = lunation ASC and Kronos.
The lunation holds a Venus sq. Kronos = Saturn = lunation Ascendant; I want to note the presence of Venus because it might have persuaded me to soften other pictures.
2. Looking at the Alaska Air tragedy of January 31, 2000, the New Moon on 02.05.2000 applies (although I will also look at preceding lunations.) That lunation occurs in 16 Aq, and = Odysseus, Rx (00 Ca 49,) = Orpheus/Uranus.Lunation MC = Pluto/Phaethon = Admetus = Kronos-Requiem/Atlantis, RxLunation Asc = Atropos = Icarus/Orpheus = (Neptune + Kronos - Mars) of the lunation; it also = Venus; lunation Kronos = Requiem = Sphinx, Rx = Vulcanus = Cupido.
I observe that the crash site lunation Ascendant is in the axis of the departure site Ascendant, and the MC/ASC (departure site lunation) = Kronos-Requiem, and that Mars/Kronos (lunation) = Saturn (with the Sun passing that area for the crash.) Crash Ascendant also = Hades/Kronos. For the actual flight departure, ASC = Kronos. Lunation Mars/Uranus = Orpheus = Lunation/Kronos = Apollon = Saturn/Uranus. Lunation Mars/Saturn = Uranus/Hades = Odysseus, Rx/Neptune-Poseidon.
I want to know how much a lunation (calculated to the city of departure) advertises the potential for a flight problem--without advance knowledge of the time of departure. While these two seem to suggest that the relevant New Moon would sketch a problem, I need to check the idea against other air crash data, and try using the closest Moon Phase even if it's a sesqui, square or Full phase. Also need to more fully analyze how the crash chart reflects and relates to the Moon Phases near it.
Okay. Sorry for meandering as I try to get my brain to focus on a task that is unlike the usual kinds of astrology I do. I thought I'd write this so I could print it for myself (and not get overwhelmed by looking at multiple dials for each event & phase.) And we had talked (long ago) here about having people work with various techniques to try to predict when various types of events that would draw national attention occur. If I get time, I'll run the lunations to Washington, DC as well. And I need to check lunations with pernicious configurations to make sure there is an attendant disaster (or why not.) I'd be up for having data of air crashes--and of individuals who have died in them. I'd also be up for more time (and inclination) to do all this!
As a temporary hypothesis, it does seem that a lunation can offer cautions about flights from a particular location.
Admetus-Terpsichore: April 19th
This current "conjunction" can appear as angular, and manifest as:
1. Spasms, tightness, numbness, stiffness or constriction that affects the limbs or muscles... and it suggests a need to work the "long" muscles of flexion-- so "stretches" are a good way to counteract the problem (and add more magnesium & water to your diet.) Admetus can always store tension in the body--it's all that enduring more than you can that does it--but with Terpsichore, you can really know it.
2. Moments when people seem to avoid touching... or when it's noticed that touching (between people) is "cold." Your hands and feet can get colder than usual too (regardless of the temperature.)
3. Just in time for the Boston Marathon, Admetus lends its tendency to "endure" to the coordination, agility and exercise of Terpsichore. Since Admetus is "cold," sometimes we see an accent on sports in connection with cold weather or climates (including, for instance, ice skating or skiing....now if you had a Diana with it, you could begin training for the Iditirod!)
4. This is a great energy under which to use an actual treadmill (cuz Admetus can make ya' feel like you're on one anyway....at least this time you'll be actually walking.) Admetus likes to "compact" things and reduce the scope, so running in place plays out the symbolism beautifully!
5. And it's the perfect conjunction for seeing the toll on your body as a consequence for what you've been asking yourself to "stand." Some part of you may be "holding up"-- but your body has gotten wound up tighter than a drum. Unless you've been doing some endurance training, your little body may be telling you that it needs some R & R!
Nature's cycles in a fractal state of mind
Weather, battery life and even the way your lawn grows are all linked by four mathematical laws, according to a paper published in the April 3rd Physical Review Letters. Jonathan Shapir and Jacob Jorn of the University of Rochester have shown how natural cyclical events, such as seasonal weather, generate very specific patternsā€¹the same patterns that govern the geometric images called fractals. Fractals are mathematical designs that repeat their patterns on infinitely smaller scales: No matter how much you magnify a fractal, the same patterns appear. These patterns can be created over time. As sediment builds up on a surface, for instance, the tiny irregularities in the first layer become larger and more exaggerated in successive layers as they are laid down. Scientists have shown previously that many structures in nature, from lightning bolts to cauliflower heads, produce this fractal pattern, but the new findings are the first to demonstrate that the fractal patterns hold true for nature's next level of complexity, cycles. "Often things are not formed by a single process, but by a combination of growth and recession," explains theoretical physicist Shapir. "What's amazing is that so many growth and recession cycles can be described by just a few fractal solutions." Fractal solutions--equations with numbers that create fractal patterns--can help predict events that are based on natural cycles that build up and break down materials over and over, explains Jorn, professor of chemical engineering. Jorn and Shapir expect that fractal equations can help physicians estimate the spread of cells that grow and recede, such as a tumor in a chemotherapy patient. They also expect that the life span of car batteries can be predicted faster and more cheaply because engineers will be able to extrapolate the data from a few charge cycles to thousands. Even predicting such seemingly random things like how your lawn will spread may be possible by measuring rain and light cycles and matching them to the proper equation. "This work shows that there are some basic laws underlying many of nature's cycles," says Jorn. "They may not be obvious, we may not see the connections at first, but underneath it all the same patterns are running." Jayanth Banavar, head of physics at Penn State University and an expert on fractal phenomena, said, "This work is very exciting and opens entirely new avenues for future investigations. Besides its scientific interest, this work promises to have important technological ramifications." Jorn first approached Shapir with a simple question: Would natural cycles create fractal patterns? "I had a hunch they would," says Shapir. It took him several months of mathematical tinkering, however, before he discovered the right approach. "The hardest nut to crack was how to make a certain, very complicated mathematical framework fit this experiment." That complex framework, known by the equally complex name "Renormalization Group Theory," helps reveal fractal-like properties in equations, and earned its developer the Nobel Prize in physics in 1982. "Once we understood how to apply it to cycles, everything fell into place in a matter of days." Shapir and graduate student Subhadip Raychaudhuri used a computer to run cycle simulations. Tiny objects were randomly deposited on different types of surfaces. After each deposition, the researchers simulated a process, like water erosion or battery discharge, that removed some of the objects in an equally random way. After running the simulations tens of thousands of times, Shapir and Raychaudhuri found that no matter what the type of objects, forces or surfaces involved, each of the simulations could be described by fractal solutions. As each new layer of objects was laid down, its surface became more and more irregular, repeating the same basic shapes on larger and larger scales, just like a fractal. With the simulation results in hand, Jorn and David G. Foster, a former graduate student and senior engineer at Eastman Kodak Co., designed an experiment that deposited atoms of silver onto an electrode for five minutes, followed by a reverse in charge to remove some of the silver for two and one-half minutes. The silver atoms accumulated in a fractal pattern just as predicted. Shapir and Jorn already see practical applications for their findings. Often rechargeable batteries fail because each charge deposits material inside the battery, and each discharge charge removes some of that material. After several such charge cycles, the buildup can span the two leads inside the battery and short it out. Since the material does not accumulate in a uniform fashion, battery makers have had to test batteries by discharging and recharging them over and over until they fail. Shapir and Jorn think that with fractal equations, manufacturers can run through only a few charge accelerated cycles and calculate how long it will be until the battery fails without doing expensive, prolonged testing.
The research was funded by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, and Kodak.
Q & A from the AOL Board Psyche-Amor
Where you ask regarding the transiting (wide) conjunction of these two asteroids, some thoughts:
Amor seems to always give us "the divided heart" of its glyph. On the one side, we know that love is unconditional and that the acceptance that flows from it is utter. But on the other side, we recognize that we're human--and so is everyone else. And being human, we have frailties; we have faults; we have complexes that intrude on others (emotionally, psychologically, practically.) And so we're left with the quandary of how to love completely in a world that seems to require boundaries and conditions.
Add the Psyche, and the dilemma becomes acute because others are in pain, are hurt, or are coming from their own damage (and the needs and reactions produced by that damage.) Do you drop your boundaries because they're hurt? Is "hurt" a way of learning love and acceptance? Can you accept their "neuroses" (without violating something in you?) Do you see instances where (Psyche:) "being damaged or vulnerable" are conditions of acceptance (ie., I love you BECAUSE you're fragile or hurting)-- and what's up with that? And what does that mean for times when someone isn't coming from their psyche, when they feel more together and not like a raw wound?
--as usual, the gods give us "interesting" stuff to consider <grin>
You (and others) will have to add your natal stuff to flesh in the picture, but I hope this gives you something to go on.
Bacchus-Urania:
We kid about the combination of energies as "an addiction to astrology" and there's some truth to that. A person can use astrology as a way of trying to circumvent what's happening with them emotionally under those energies.
Bacchus can become "excessively preoccupied" with aspects as a method of denial and substitution, and when it's Urania, yeah-- astrology qualifies! But Urania is also "intellectual defenses," so when strong feelings get a-goin', a person may "run to their head"-- they want to Think (not Feel) their way through whatever's happening. There is room in the aspect for interest in Theories that apply to Addictive Behavior and Causes... and for the ways that an addiction can mess with the rational assessment of situations.
Note that Urania attempts to distill experience and generate abstracts from that; Bacchus can highlight excuses, accentuate the past & attempt to bypass the emotional component of the thinking process in ways that create distortions in the overall picture.

I know there was an approaching transit conjunction of those two in early March; has it passed? (Or are you still getting high on astrology??? PS. Nice to hear from you again!)
