(Note: this is slightly modified to correct the chart date, which changed the moon sign. Sorry for any confusion. )
Shortly before 1pm May 23rd a cable supporting an alpine cable car snapped, sending the car plunging down the mountain side.
The cable stretches from the town of Stresa on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy up to Mattarone at 1491 meters altitude, a 20 minute trip.
Here is a link to the home page where you can see a photo that shows why this is a very popular attraction, panoramic 360 views of the lake and the Alpes. https://www.stresa-mottarone.it
Just this week many Covid restrictions were eased in Italy, so many Italians took advantage to spend the Sunday in a long-awaited day trip from home.
The cable car was 400 meters short of arriving at the top when the cable snapped, and the car plunged down the mountain, through the forest, where it was blocked by the trees and shattered beyond recognition.
Of the 16 passengers, 14 died on impact, two small children survived in serious condition, one of whom later passed away at the hospital.
So astrologically, why did this happen?
I've attached a chart for 12:30, which is approximately the time of the accident, but we have to keep in mind the ascendent might not be accurate.
Moon in libra is almost exactly square mars, and in the 3rd house of transportation. Moon ruler Venus is conjunct Requiem.
Mars, traditional planet of accidents, approaches a trine to Neptune, co-ruler of the 8th of death, and an opposition to pluto, God of the Underworld.
The other co-ruler of the 8th, Jupiter, is near the descendent and is in separating square to the sun, ascendent ruler.
The Jupiter/Chiron midpoint is conjunct Neptune.
Mercury, ruler of transport, is square Neptune.
Asteroid Requiem (funeral mass for the dead) is conjunct Venus of the Midheaven, and tomorrow there will be public mourning in Italy for the victims.
The sun/mercury midpoint is on Requiem in the degree of Saturn, traditional planet of death,
Requiem is also at the midpoint of mars/uranus, sudden accidents.
Asteroid Osiris, Egyptian God of the Dead, is conjunct Chiron in the 8th.
Mercury/uranus midpoint is almost exactly conjunct the sun.
The Uranus/pluto midpoint is 3 degrees from Neptune.
The news reported that the cable car had only been re-opened a couple of days ago, and had not long ago had maintenance carried out.
So why so many Neptune aspects in this chart?
Was an error made during maintenance?
So many death connections for a chart with a fun-loving Leo ascendent.
Although granted, the ascendent could just flip into mercury-ruled virgo depending on a more accurate time.
Condolences to all the families involved.
And to the little boy in critical condition in the hospital in Turin, no relatives have yet shown up, he lost his family in the accident. Very sad.
