The co-ordinates for La Gloria, Veracruz State, are 95W54/18N21; however, there are no exact listings on Astrodienst for this town or the co-ordinates; I did find reference to a town several miles distant, called Nopaltepec (within a few minutes of the La Gloria co-ordinates)

Unfortunately I don't know how to insert an Astrodienst chart onto this forum. Sorry!

In using the above date and Nopaltepec co-ordinates, via the Whole Sign House system, I got mid-Gemini as the Asc, conjunct Aldebaran; the 10th house is loaded with planets and highly energized; Dragon's Tail is in the 3rd house, emphasizing both the publicity of the epidemic as well as its malefic power through interpersonal communication; Pauline profection to the 10th house suggests a heightened "strength" time for the epidemic from mid-December 2009 through the end of January, 2010; however, the profection into the 12th house (which should go toward "endings") --approximately February 2010 -goes into a fertile fixed sign (Taurus in the 12th) which might contribute to the "survival" of the epidemic influence into another cycle, or a retreat "into the earth" (Taurus) to await a new revival in the early summer (Gemini) of 2010.
(Will post more on my analysis of this epidemic chart soon)

ahh, i never use whole house system so I had Very different chart in front of me, I use either Regiomantus or Placidus. But the Planets were in the same signs, regardless of where the house lines are, so I suspect I would still view them the same way. I have a friend who prefers whole house charts. sometiems we have difficulty comparing our vision of the same chart.

PS I'm looking for the article I used to like on Dragons tail and Saturn, allegedly south node aligned with Saturn is a good thing, not bad, but usually denotes a lot of Publicity when it is Near the MC, not IC, so Possibly this chart is upside down? that may indeed be the indicator of its correct manifestation.

You may want to look at this from a scare/propaganda standpoint-
food for thought here;

btw- I'm not dead, just been sleeping... ;)

Having lost a 28 year old friend to this, I think I will disagree with you. it was not as deadly as feared, but where it did kill, it killed healthy young people, which is harder on a population, than losing the sick, weak and elderly not because of the love involved, but because of the lost potential, which is generally larger in young healthy persons than in the populations you expect to lose from.

just a thought...

that is true, unfortunately the southwest where I live was hit a bit harder than other places. and it was doubled up a bit with a short run strain of Valley fever. So our winter death toll was actually a bit steeper than usual.
