Icelandic Ash Cloud 25th May 2011
Flight restrictions have been lifted at all UK airports after the volcanic ash cloud over UK airspace has started to move away. Knock-on disruption continues but there will be no flight groundings on the mainland at least until 0100 BST on Tuesday 25th May, UK air traffic control said. After a weekend that saw thousands of passengers stranded, only Shetland and Orkney airports are closed to planes. Meanwhile, new rules to allow planes to fly at higher ash densities have been agreed and will operate from Tuesday.At talks between the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), airlines, regulators, and aircraft and engine manufacturers a new "time limited zone" was set up.From midday on Tuesday this will allow planes to fly for a limited period when volcanic ash is present in the air at higher ash densities than currently permitted. The CAA said airlines had to present it with safety information - including the agreement of their aircraft and engine manufacturers - to be allowed to fly in the new zone.
The astrology of the Icelandic volcanic eruption is quite striking. Perhaps, this should be expected since the eruption was the largest, most powerful such event in a century from Grimsvotn. It sent into the atmosphere as much ash in two days as all the ash erupted in the 2010 Icelandic eruption. Firstly, the Sun at the beginning of Gemini forms a very close T-Square with Neptune in Pisces and the MC in Virgo – under one degree orb. The Neptune is of course symbolising the confusion and chaos and clouds of ash which accompanied the eruption.With all the lightning which accompanied the eruption (as much as 20% of the total global incidence) a strong Uranus would be expected. It is in fact the focus for a myriad of mid-points. Conjunct Uranus are Venus/Neptune, Mars/Neptune, Mercury/Neptune, MC/Ascendant and in square are Mars/MC and Neptune/Ascendant. Clearly, Uranus is very dominant.There is also a hemisphere of sextiles. The Scorpio Ascendant is in sextile to Pluto in Capricorn which in turn is in sextile to Chiron in Pisces. Chiron sextiles Venus, Mars and Mercury all in Taurus and these inner planets oppose the Scorpio Ascendant. This configuration symbolises immense power (Scorpio Ascendant, Pluto and Mars) and note also the close conjunction of Pluto to Saturn/Uranus.
One interesting piece of information for those who like research is the dominance of 1996 TL66. This asteroid or possibly dwarf planet is a TNO (Trans Neptunian Object) and was only recently discovered. It has a highly elliptical orbit which at aphelion is much more distant than Pluto but at perihelion is close to the orbital distance of Neptune. Research shows that in some cases TL66 indicates enormously destructive forces. Interestingly, TL66 in the volcano chart is found only one degree away from the Sun. Planets and asteroids have nodal axis just like the Moon and the axis of TL66 is conjunct the Ascendant and opposing Mars – somewhat self-explanatory in signifying colossal violence. R.M.
The Grimsvotn volcano in Vatnajokull National Park began erupting on Saturday and closed Iceland's airspace for a period.Experts say the eruption is on a different scale to the one last year and ash particles are larger and, as a result, fall to the ground more quickly.Icelandic government adviser, Professor Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson said the eruption from the volcano was slowing down "day by day" and he believed the worst was over
Above, the National Park as it normally is; a beautiful, peaceful haven for wild life. The picture on the right as it is while the volcano erupts covering everything in its path with black ash.This ash cloud is the second Icelandic eruption in a year. Last year's volcanic ash cloud brought European air travel to a halt for days. It was estimated that 10 million people were stranded at the various airports around Europe. The financial cost to airlines ran into billions of pounds.
