Astrology of Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse of September 7th - Dengue in India

Astrology of the Lunar Eclipse of September 7 - India Dengue Outbreak

As I mentioned in my original post on the astrology of the September 7th Lunar Eclipse, one of the problems with having the eclipse in a water sign (Pisces) ruled by a moist planet (Jupiter) in another water sign (Scorpio) is the distinct possibility of water-borne disease among the common folk. With this year’s huge dengue outbreak in India, William Lilly’s words come to mind:

An eclipse of the Sun or Moon in the watery triplicity presages a rot or consumption of the vulgar sort of people [...] In Virgo or Pisces…it shows that very many fountains shall be corrupt and grow impure, and the river waters not wholesome.

If you don’t know what dengue is (I know I had to look it up), it is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes, not terribly different from malaria, sometimes fatal. Last year, the World Health Organization reported 900 cases of dengue in India; this year, there are 3000 so far.

As to the timing of the outbreak, here is the quote from the earlier post on the Eclipse:

India - begin between September 17 - 27, 2006, strongest between October 1 - 15th, 2006

Also note that the September 7th Lunar Eclipse was right on the Midheaven in New Delhi (the horoscope set for New Delhi is in the original lunar eclipse post); it did not fail to manifest. Jupiter brings trouble to the people in power, and this year, a few members of the Indian Prime Minister’s family came down with dengue symptoms. As well, parts of India are experiencing epidemic proportions of the similar but usually rarer disease chikungunya. I am glad not to be living in the tropics right now.

    Hello Nina,

    sorry for my note, but I just read your very interesting notice about dengue.

    Maybe it is interesting for you, that the newspapers wrote, that the problem
    has been the water-tanks of the ventilators and standing water in rain-collecting tons, in which the moskito-babys (?) has the possibility to grow up, so that a huge amount of moskitos can be born.
    So long standing water = (skorpio + pisces) could be the origin problem.

    One of the first places was a hospital in Delhi (?) and the campus with students, were a lot of people went ill.

    My husband and me have been travelling in India on holiday end of September….

    Thanks for your very interesting homepage!

    Best Regards

    Annette
