This event was directly related to the March 25, 2024 Lunar Eclipse at 3:00:06 a.m. EDT. Less than 24 hours later, at 1:29 a.m. on March 26, Singapore-flagged container ship, Dali, heading out from Baltimore for Sri Lanka, allegedly lost power and slammed into one of the main support structures of the Francis Scott Key bridge, causing it to collapse. Six workers repairing potholes on the bridge were killed.

How do I know it was eclipse related? That's what this blog is all about, showing connections which lend further clues to how to forecast future events using the astrology found in eclipses.

On page 213 of my book, "The Dark Side of Eclipses: Do the Heavens Still Issue Warnings of Things to Come?" I speculated on what some of the effects of that lunar eclipse might be. Here is what it says:

Lunar Eclipse 3/25/2024 3:00:06 A.M.

Moon/9th/Libra tri Pluto/1st/Capricorn

The eclipsed Moon's trine to Pluto suggests a transformational event that affects the populace and relates to the 9th (other countries, academia, courts, religious institutions and media)

Chiron/3rd/Aries tri Vertex/7th/Leo

There appear to be fated injuries related to infrastructure and our relationship with another country. With two Fire signs involved sparks are going to fly.

The following is not in the book, but thought of after the event. I should have seen this, but didn't include the asteroid, Chaos, in my delineations in the book. 20:20 hindsight and all that, right?

Mars/7th trine Chaos/11th

Aggressive actions by those from another country cause chaos (ship flagged from Singapore, foreign crew) that affect various groups of people.

Pluto/6th qncx Chaos/11th

Death of members of working class during chaotic event that affects specific groups.

The six men who died were immigrant construction workers from Mexico and Guatemala repairing potholes on the bridge. They had been in this country for awhile and not illegals.

Astrologers are continually learning. Every chart and event teaches you something. The discipline is so complex there's always something new to enhance understanding. One method I recently learned about to obtain clues to where eclipse effects may manifest is with a map that shows where the planets (or in this case, Trans-Neptunian, Hades) were located with respect to the Earth at that time. If they are on one of the chart angles, i.e. ascendant, descendant, IC or MC, its influence is increased.

Using that method revealed that Hades, the Trans-Neptunian ruler of destruction, was on the descendant for the Chesapeake Bay vicinity for the Lunar Eclipse.

This presented an early clue that something in that area would be destroyed and possibly related to a foreign power. This clue derives from its location on the descendant, cusp of the 7th house, which includes countries with whom we have an alliance or treaty or perhaps an open enemy.

While the line is not exactly over Baltimore, it nonetheless indicates devastation of some description would occur in the area. It didn't take long to know the target, which yielded the opportunity to look at the Baltimore chart with the eclipse for more information.

Baltimore and the Eclipse

The eclipse occurred in Baltimore's 12th house of hidden enemies, where natal Hades resides at 14:15 Virgo. Eclipse Kronos sextiled B-Hades, suggesting "perfect destruction." Of course this doesn't indicate what would be destroyed.

E-Neptune in the 5th qncx B-Sun, indicated the need for an adjustment. Neptune in on the 6th house cusp, suggesting impact to workers related to an event that involves water. With Baltimore a port city, this makes sense and provides another clue. The 5th house suggests that this will be something considered iconic to the area, part of the city's persona and identity. Neptune trine Baltimore's Jupiter in the 10th bespoke broad public attention while implying the event's magnitude.

E-Mercury in the 7th qncx Uranus/2nd shows a sudden change or disruption to resources and quality of life. Mercury suggests movement, perhaps related to traffic or port shipping lanes. E-Mercury is conjunct E-Eris with both conjunct B-Chiron, which suggests injury to or from immigrants.  Mercury, Eris, and Chiron square B-Mars and Jupiter in the 9th (other countries) and 10th (publicity) houses respectively.

E-Mercury/7th sextile B-Vulcanus/4th indicates movement with great power and potential. Vulcanus has the ability to increase the strength or force of an aspect similar to Jupiter, but less benign.

E-Hades/9th conjunct B-Venus/9th. This implies that something with value would be destroyed, perhaps by another country. [Remember that Hades was on the eclipse's 7th house cusp/descendant in the eclipse map.] Venus also rules the chart as well as the 8th house, giving it an ominous flavor.

E-Saturn/5th trines B-Venus/9th perhaps reflecting that those responsible for the bridge saved lives by shutting down traffic as soon as the mayday call was received. E-Saturn/5th squares B-Neptune/8th which implies water would be involved in death. E-Uranus is transiting the 8th house of death suggesting it will be an explosive or unexpected event. The cusp of the 5th house is the last degree of a fixed sign, suggesting a permanent ending (29:02 Aquarius) with "crash and burn" Phaethon/7th sextile that cusp.

E-Phaethon is also trining B-Sun/10th. This implies again that it will be a foreign power striking the heart of the city and will be publicly known.

E-Hades/9th qncx B-Admetos/2nd shows the destruction is concentrated to a single event that relates to resources, finances, and quality of life which will require an adjustment. This clearly applies to the impact losing the bridge will have on city traffic.

E-Zeus/1st squaring B-Mars/9th indicates a directed energy attack on the city from another country.

E-Zeus/1st opp B-Chiron/7th indicates that the directed energy causes injury to another country. This seems to relate to the workers who were killed being immigrants working to fix potholes on the bridge who were unable to get off the structure before it collapsed.

E-Eris/7th conjunct B-Chiron further indicates injury and death to immigrant workers.

E-Chiron/6th squaring B-Phaethon as well as Chaos/9th show that worker injuries would be the result of a crash of some description that resulted in chaos.
Clearly something was going to occur of a destructive nature that would affect Baltimore. It didn't take long for the news to tell us what this event would be.

The "birth" information for the bridge was easily found on the internet. Oddly enough, it was March 23, 1977, indicating the bridge had just had a solar return, which we will look at as well. The time it opened to traffic was not noted, but I reasoned that it would have probably been in the morning, perhaps at the beginning of commuter hour. The house structure seems to fit so I suspect it was pretty close.

Lunar eclipse with the bridge's natal chart.

E-Phaethon, the "crash and burn" asteroid, is conjunct the bridge's asteroid, Chaos as well as Chiron in the 12th house of hidden enemies. (Note they appear off-set, but same degree and only 23 minutes of arc from being exact for Chaos.) If one aspect defines this event, this is it, but it's not  planets, illustrating the importance of asteroids. Using the right set refines any reading or event. Consider also that this Chaos-Chiron natal conjunction would probably apply every time there was a traffic accident on the bridge.

E-Saturn/11th quincunx K-Pluto/6th shows a structural adjustment that's transformational, in other words it killed the bridge.

E-Venus/11th (chart ruler) squares K-Neptune/8th. Neptune in the 8th implies death related to water.

Jupiter rules 8th with E-Jupiter/conjunct the ascendant within a mere 4 minutes of arc from being exact. The quincunx to Neptune/8th brings a huge change of direction regarding its identity, with it joining the ranks of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, possibly the most famous bridge collapse of all times, though it was caused by wind.

Neptune tends to dissolve what it touches, suggesting that E-Neptune/11th sextile K-Jupiter/1st would immerse the bridge in a big way.

E-Pluto in the 10th shows public awareness of its demise.

E-Uranus in the 1st quincunx K-Vertex/6th implies a sudden fated change that affects the working class.

E-Hades/3rd square K-Mercury/12th likewise shows aggressive movement destroying infrastructure.

Note the bridge's Mars return was only a few hours away.

But first let's look at its solar return.

The bridge was "born" March 23, 1977 and had just had its "solar return" a few days prior to its demise. What will that tell us?

The Solar return shows more ominous indicators.

Chaos is in the 10th, suggesting that the bridge will get public attention for causing chaos. Hades and Kronos are there, too, an unfriendly stellium indicating perfect destruction in the public view, which was accomplished by videos of the event. (If you happened to see the video sped up 8x, it was apparent the ship aimed for the bridge support. Just saying.)

"Crash and burn" Phaethon in the 8th house of death semisextile Neptune/7th, implies a violent death from a water-borne foreign power.

Mars/6th in the last degree of fixed sign indicates a violent permanent ending to the bridge's service to workers, commuters, and travelers in general.

Uranus/9th implies a surprise from another country (the Dali was flagged in Singapore), his semisextile to Mercury/8th/Aries indicating explosive movement that causes death.

Sun/7th sextile Pluto/5th shows the Bridge transformed, the death of a Baltimore icon.

Looking at the glaring opposition, Venus rules the 9th house of other countries and the 2nd of resources while Saturn rules the 5th which implies the bridge's iconic nature. The opposition to both from the Moon indicates the emotional nature of the coming event at the hands of a hidden enemy. The Virgo Moon suggests precision as opposed to chance.

The 12th is also the house of self-defeating behaviors. Usually "dolphin islands" are built up around a bridge's support structure, particularly when they're in proximity to a shipping lane, to protect it from such strikes. The bridge could have been protected, but the money was never spent to do so. Nothing like inviting disaster.

Moon/12th opposite the Vertex/6th shows an element of fate while the Part of Fortune sextile Phaethon further indicates its fortune was to crash and burn.

There's even more from the Trans-Neptunians, but Chaos, Hades, and Kronos in the 10th of status and reputation pretty much sums it up, though Zeus/2nd of resources opposite Eris/8th says a lot, too.

Everywhere we look it's apparent the bridge is heading for a bad day. This further illustrates that major events have multiple indicators. One or two bad aspects tend to be manageable.

If you read the previous blog about the mundane 5th house, you've already seen the transit chart. Here it is again, with the Trans-Neptunians added.  What a story it tells. Indeed it is the coup de gras for this sorry tale.

Something about it brought tears to my eyes, the reason evident upon delineating the message behind it.

The base of the yod comprises exalted Venus, ruler of the 5th of icons and the 10th of status, reputation, and public awareness. In the 3rd house, she implies the bridge's function as beloved infrastructure. Jupiter in the 5th brings home the message the bridge was more than that, but an icon. Jupiter rules the chart as well as the 3rd. The Moon at the eye rules the 8th of death from its placement in the 10th, making the event known to all. The yod, as always, suggests a fated event. The Vertex conjunct Vulcanus in the 8th reinforces this. Chaos, Hades, and Kronos in the 7th show perfect destruction that results in chaos due to a foreign entity.

The 4th house of endings is loaded. The North Node, Chiron, Mercury, Eris and Phaethon, all lending another bit of information. Mercury conjunct Eris relates to the perpetrators while Chiron bespeaks the unfortunate workers who were killed, legal immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala doing repair work at the time.

Pluto and Mars semisextile on the fringes of the 2nd show the financial impact as well as the violent and potentially intentional act. Cupido in the 1st brings people together in shock and mourning. (For more philosophical insights into the event's impact, please see the previous blog.)

The Mars return, which occurred a few hours later, was very similar and shown below.

The yod shifted as the Moon moved, an opposition developing between the Moon and Chiron, suggesting tragic loss of life. Uranus has joined the yod, showing the sudden, unexpected demise.

Chaos, Hades, and Kronos have moved to the 4th house of endings. Chaos is notably at 00:23 Cancer, an anaretic "world point" showing a position that has world-wide influence. That, of course, applies not only to this event, but to the world at large, which is without doubt in chaos these days.

Moon/7th, ruler of 5th of local icons in the house of partnerships and other countries opposes Chiron/1st/Aries  suggesting a violent and deliberate strike with an emotional aftermath.

Mars rules the 8th implying a violent death.

Chaos/4th/Cancer on the IC shows a chaotic ending in water.

Phaethon/1st/Aries quincunx the Vertex/7th/Virgo shows a fated crash and burn at the hands of foreign interests executed with precision.

Uranus/2nd/Taurus quincunx Moon/7th/Libra shows a sudden change of direction for quality of life with financial impact due to foreign influences.

Venus/12th/Pisces sextile Jupiter/2nd/Taurus implies a hidden enemy causes huge damage, influence strengthened by mutual reception.

Venus/12th/Pisces quincunx Moon/7th/Libra indicates major adjustments required. Venus rules the 2nd of resources while the Moon rules the 5th, suggesting an expensive loss of an icon. Vulcanus in the 5th sextile Admetos/2nd implies directed, concentrated force, which was directed at vulnerable portion of the bridge's design.

By now you're probably chart delineation weary, but to complete the story for any purists out there, there's more.

The transits of the collision with the Key Bridge natal chart is likewise loaded.

It's no surprise to see Phaethon conjunct Chiron, indicating crash and burn caused injuries.

Pluto/10th shows a very public death.

T-Saturn/11th quincunx K-Pluto/6th implies a transformational structural death or transformation.

T-Jupiter/1st quincunx Neptune/8th also indicates a massive transformational change related to water.

T-Neptune/11th sextile Jupiter/1st, more indicators of a major event related to water.

T-Moon/6th sextile K-Neptune shows the emotional element of the catastrophe as related to the workers tragically killed.

A very tight Mars - Mars conjunction, which clued me into the fact the Mars return was a mere 5 hours away.

And for the Grand Finale, let's see what's going on in the progressed chart.

There's so much going on it defies delineation. Looking at the major aspect patterns alone should suffice, though two double oppositions carry some weight as well.

* Double Yod: Jupiter - Venus and Jupiter Mars base, Uranus at the eye in the 5th

* Grand Air Trine: Pluto/4th;  Moon/8th; Jupiter/12th

* Grand Fire Trine: Saturn/2nd; Neptune/6th/ Venus-Mars cnj/10th

* Grand Fixed Square: Saturn/2nd; Uranus/5th; Moon/8th/ Mercury/11th

* Sextile Cradle: Saturn/2nd; Pluto/4th; Neptune/6th; skip to Moon/8th; Venus-Mars/10th; Jupiter/12th

* Two Mystic Rectangles: 1) Saturn/2; Pluto/4th; Moon/8th; Mars-Venus/10th 2) Pluto/4th; Neptune/6th; Venus-Mars/10th; Jupiter/12th

* Three Kites courtesy of the Cradle: 1) Saturn/2nd/ Pluto/4th; Neptune/6th/ Venus-Mars/10th 2)Jupiter/12th; Saturn/2nd; Pluto/4th; Moon/8th 3) Venus-Mars/10th; Jupiter/12th; Saturn/2nd/; Neptune/6th

* Two Double Oppositions: 1) Pluto/4th opposite Venus-Mars/10th; 2) Uranus/5th opposite Mercury and the Sun/11th

If you care to delineate that hot mess have at it. I think the Moon in the 8th, Uranus/5th at the eye of the yod, and double oppositions pretty much say it all.

Years ago I examined the transits for the three major NASA accidents, i.e. the Apollo I fire; Challenger accident; and Columbia disaster. As I recall, their transits looked a lot like this progressed chart. So much energy is unlikely to manifest in a favorable manner.

Some Thought-provoking Trivia

The bridge opened to traffic on March 23, 1977

The same bridge is shown collapsing in the film "Leave the World Behind" that Obama produced which came out a few months prior to the collapse.

The container ship, Ever Given, got stuck in the Suez Canal on March 23, 2021. The Baltimore bridge collapsed just 3 days after the Ever Given's 3rd anniversary, though it wasn't nearly as catastrophic.

Could it have been predicted? Avoided?

I have drilled it down from the Hades line over the Chesapeake Bay to the destruction of the bridge. The bridge was clearly toast, but would anyone have thought to check the bridge's chart? Perhaps knowing the target was an icon through hints from the 5th house would have helped, but even that is a target-rich environment.
