Costa Concordia Disaster 14 January 2012
The Italian cruise ship 'Costa Concordia' has run aground off the west coast of Italy on Friday, 13 January 2012. There were more than 4000 people on board. Three people are so far confirmed dead and about 40 are unaccounted for. Three survivors have been found on the stricken cruise ship Costa Concordia, more than 24 hours after it ran aground off the Italian coast. Rescuers have extricated a crew member, hours after a honeymooning South Korean couple were rescued. The captain of the Costa Concordia has been arrested on suspicion of multiple homicide. Prosecutors say he left the ship before evacuation was complete. First officer Ciro Ambrosio has also been detained.
The ship's operator, Costa Crociere, said the vessel had been following its regular course when it hit a submerged rock.In a TV interview, ship's captain Francesco Schettino said the rock was not marked on any maritime charts. The purser of the ill-fated Costa Concordia was rescued Sunday morning after crews found him trapped in a restaurant, more than a day after the ship ran aground.Divers resumed their search Sunday morning for dozens of people unaccounted for. There were fears the death toll could rise as rescuers searched the ship, which was nearly 50 percent submerged, authorities said.
As dawn broke over the azure waters where the Concordia was partially submerged, there were more questions than answers about how the 1,500-cabin ship managed to strike rocks during its oft-traveled route, and who was responsible for the chaotic scene that followed the captain's orders to evacuate the ship.The Concordia was 2.5 miles off route when it struck the rocky sandbar near Giglio, said Nicastro."There are rocks, they are on the maps," Nicastro said. "What we know is the ship went really close to these rocks. ... We don't yet know why." (CNN Europe)According to Wikipedia the Costa Concordia made her maiden voyage on 14 July 2006. I have erected a chart for that date and set it for 12 noon as no time was given. The time of the incident has been reported at about 20.00 CET, Giglio, Italy. The chart on the left (outer wheel) has been set for that time and place. The Maiden Voyage chart has a Mars trine Pluto opposite Venus configuration, indicating the hard work that went in to building her and the 450 million Euros it cost to build the ship.
Saturn is part of a T-square with Jupiter and Chiron, indicating misfortune. And Saturn at 11-47' degrees Leo is on the Mercury/Mars midpoint at 11-26' Leo and suggests situations involving accidents and restricted movement. Saturn is also on the Neptune/Chiron midpoint and this is an indication of the deaths and injuries while at sea. On 13th January, when the Costa Concordia ran aground, transiting Saturn was at 28-58' degrees of Libra, perfectly square the Maiden Voyage Mercury at 28-05' of Cancer, restricting her movement. Neptune and Venus were closely conjunct in Aquarius and both were conjunct Chiron in Pisces, again indicating the injuries at sea while people were having a good time. Neptune is also an indication of the confusion that was going on at the time of the incident.Transiting Uranus was at 1-08' degrees of Aries and on the Mars/Jupiter midpoint. This could be an indication of sudden, hasty action that could have dire consequences.It is interesting to note that in the launch chart of the Costa Concordia, (2 September 2005) Chiron at 28-25' degrees of Capricorn was receiving a square aspect from transiting Saturn at 28-58' Libra.
