We all
know by now that on November 13, 2015 at 9:20 pm in Paris, France, terrorists
bombed multiple spots in the city. This went on until after midnight. Plenty
has been written about it in terms of transits and progressions, but I haven’t
seen anything regarding the tertiary progressions.
I’ve
told the story many times about how I came to include the tertiary progressions
in all client work roughly a decade ago. I had been very, very, VERY tired for
a month, but had no illness. I couldn’t find any indication of it in my chart,
but when I did the tertiary progressions, there it was! Tertiary ascendant
conjoining natal Saturn, and the definition of it was “fatigue.” It lasted a
month, the time that it took for the tertiary ascendant to move off the Saturn.
This is just to show you how much I like tertiary progressions…it has nothing
to do with Paris.
I
looked at both the original French chart in the Book of World Horoscopes (by
Nicolas Campion) and the most recent, Oct. 6, 1958 at 6:30 PM CET, Paris, Fr. That
was when the state seal was affixed to a new constitution. The first one he
lists is Sep 21, 1792, 3:20 pm LMT, Paris. That one works somewhat, but mostly
with midpoints. The most recent one has
some dramatic contacts. For instance, the tertiary moon (which moves a degree
every TWO DAYS) was opposing the MC within 11 minutes of a degree when the
attacks first began at 9:20 pm on November 13th. That’s spectacular.
Since
I’ll probably write a much longer article about this for a magazine, I will just
point out a few things. Besides the dramatic position of the tertiary Moon, the
tertiary Mars (explosives) had moved to 17:37 Cancer. Mars has a midpoint “tree”
that shows it to be exactly-to-the-minute aspecting the midpoint between the
Moon and Mercury and shares this with Pluto as well. Mars and Pluto together
represent explosives. At that point in Cancer it was triggering the midpoints
of Mercury/Ascendant, Sun/South Node, and MARS/PLUTO. In other words, Mars by
tertiary progression had moved to the midpoint between itself and Pluto, which
are tightly square in the natal chart. What that means basically, is that
France is prone to violence, and the tertiary Mars position at that time was
triggering it.
Transiting
Pluto (explosives) is transiting square natal Mercury and was just 17 minutes
from squaring Mercury exactly during the event. Solar arc
Uranus was only 21 minutes from conjoining the Sun, which is sudden, unexpected
surprise. I’m always so stunned at how charts show what is happening, I have to
wonder how much of our lives and history is really planned ahead for us.
