Since thursdayafternoon there has been a network failure in the computer network of the libraries in Utrecht University. Only occasionally one could log in. A few hours ago I used another computer not connected to the main network but now I managed to log in just recently.

I noticed it myself (yesterday) at ca. 17h30m. Today I spoke to a librarian who told me that it occurred yesterday afternoon.

Look at that tight Mercury Saturn conjunction within half a degree. For 13h15 UT, MC was in semi-square to this conjunction. ca. 12h Asc was square to them. Mercury-Saturn, stagnation in communication... Saturn and libraries/university/learningplaces? I've seen prominent Mercury aspects more often in technical failures.
Venus is also close to the conjunction. Today the Moon in Gemini is close to a square to Mercury Saturn conjunction, being exact later tonight.

The librarian also told me that as this is a serious problem, the company Capgemini was called for help. Although I'm not really into names and signs and tend to see this as coincidence, It's still remarcable to see this. Moon in Gemini which is ruled by Mercury who itself is in his other sign Virgo. the CAP of Capgemini stands for Centre d?Analyse et Programmation but in astrology is often used for the abbreviation of Capricornus which is ruled by Saturn, Pluto is hanging around there too in 'Cap', and Uranus in Pisces can also play a part in it. Should I quit Kepler's thoughts on the zodiac signs ?
