Tom,
Someone on another list I'm on, pointed out a passage from "A distant Mirror" by Barbara Tuchman which was a question by the King of France about the cause of the plague. His Physicians returned a response to him that the conj of Jupiter, Mars and Saturn in March of 1345 was the cause of the 1347 outbrake. (Aquarius conj) I notice that the jupiter saturn conjunction of 2000 occured at 22 tau 45, interestingly enough, mars is roling over that degree and will again before it passes into Gemini.

but back to the 1345 conj, mars was past both jupiter and saturn by the time they perfected conj at 19 aqu 02

thought you'd enjoy.

Granny.

Hello people,
Tom's analysis and Granny's comment on mars rx above prompted me to look at the grand conjunction in 2000
28may 2000 15.30hrs London and the 1801 UK chart . ( jan 01 1801 London Midnight) - 7 Libra asc
Is this a cause for concern?
The gc occured in the UK's 8th house conjunct UK's Ceres at 23 Tau and square the UK saturn at 23 Leo.
Pisces on the 6th, so Jupiter rules animals, ( including poultry? Couldn't find a ref in CA)
in the gc chart, the asc is libra 13 -
And with the upcoming scorpio season - sun and Jupiter transits - this could trigger the uk chart tsquare - saturn ceres neptune. I'm treating Ceres as important in the uk chart as its the focus of both the gc and the recent Mars station rx... (with apologies to any trad astro purists)
If I were to stick my neck out and make a prediction, I'd say this has the look of a potential food/farming crisis.... what do you think??

south node is currently 13 Libra, so I'd agree that UK has some forthcoming issues with enemies. And while Trad Astrologers might not want to pay attention to asteroids, the Fixed Star Zaurak is at 23 Tau 52, and is unfortunate -Melancholy, fear of death and suicidal tendencies - activated by Saturn its said. so the conjunction here and now mars rolling over this point are quite probably worth looking at. Since this point is activated by Mars, maybe look more to where mars is than small animals? well my two cents... Granny

Just noticed that the path of the cases of avian flu over the past 6 months or so is the reverse of the path of the 29 march eclipse - with the central belt being almost identical running straight through Turkey ( turkey? well even the universe has a sense of humour I suppose)

Coincidence? I'm not an eclipse expert so some feedback would be useful.
