MADRID AIRPORT DISASTER The incident involved an MD 82 (McDonnell Douglas) passenger aircraft which was leaving for the Canary Islands from Barajas Airport, Madrid. The MD 82 is a derivative of a DC 9. The aircraft a Spanair flight had been due to take off but been held up because an instrument had indicated overheating and had to be checked out. In stead of leaving at 1 pm the aircraft later attempted departure at around 2-20 pm and the incident occurred at 2-23 pm (12-23 UTC) when the aircraft attempted to become airborne, briefly left the runway and then dipped onto its right wing its left engine on fire and on hitting the runway broke into pieces which were immediately ignited by full tanks of fuel which were ablaze. There were a total of 172 persons on board. Of these 166 were passengers and 6 were crew (although 9 were originally listed). Of these people 153 died in the inferno only 19 surviving some seriously ill and in hospital. The incident data is as follows:- 20th August, 2008 at 12-23 UTC (Timed by Spanair), Barajas Airport, Madrid on 3W34 and 40N28. The Ascendant is at Scorpio 18-27. This is The Accursed 19th Degree of The Accursed Sign and brings tragedy. The Ascendant squares Chiron at 18-03 and the powerful Eclipse Node at Aquarius 18-36 and Neptune at Aquarius 22-43. This shows the nature of the tragedy, the deaths likely to ensue and the involvement of air transport. There are some very important midpoints. The Sun at Leo 27-51 is conjunct the Moon/Jupiter midpoint at Leo 27-50. The Leo symbolises fire and the holiday or fun loving side to the flight. The Moon/Jupiter shows the large number of people who are involved and that travel would be overseas. Saturn is at Aquarius 10-05 in square to the midpoint of Sun/Uranus at Gemini 9-43 suggests that death could result from a sudden fire. I notice too that the Jupiter/Uranus midpoint at Aquarius 17-20 conjuncts the Node – Chiron conjunction, another unwelcome reference to death on an overseas flight. The Saturn/Uranus midpoint at Gemini 15-50 in square to Venus at Virgo 17-37 and Mercury at Virgo 17-13 also tells of attracting and communicating sudden death – and in the horoscope with Gemini on the cusp of 8th House and Venus ruling 7th House then Venus and Mercury are particularly significant here. Pluto the ruler of the Ascendant is in square to Mars indicating the violence witnessed.
