Bombs Return to London

It may seem crass to offer astrological comment on yesterday's terrorist attacks in London, but I see the world astrologically, and if there is any insight astrology can offer the situation, I think it is right to do so. But before going ahead, I would like to convey my sympathies to all those injured in the attacks, and to the families of those who were murdered. Such atrocities are despicable, cowardly and can achieve nothing unless we allow them to.

The first and most obvious question is - did any astrologers predict this?

My answer is that I do not know of any, although I have just this morning read the latest Visual Astrology newsletter, which contains a prediction by the excellent Australian astrologer Bernadette Brady, of 'a return of terrorist activities in Europe' during July to late August. When Bernadette speaks, I listen, as she is one of the few astrologers I know who take the time to do painstaking and thorough research before making any statements. She is also a superb speaker. If you get the chance to attend one of her talks or workshops, you'll be inspired. She bases her predictions on ancient techniques used by the Chaldeans 2500 years ago, of simply looking at the night sky and reading it's visual story.

Now is not the time to elaborate - if you are intrigued, I urge you to subscribe to the Visual Astrology newsletter for yourself. In June's, Bernadette talks about the olympic games, and predicted that Britain would win the bid, partly because of the rumour-mongering of one of the contestants (President Chirac take note!).

I can see nothing in the UK's chart to predict what happened yesterday, nor in more general terms in the sky (unlike 2001/02, when Saturn was opposite Pluto three times). The only notable thing at the moment is Mars about to cross the recent (April 8th) Solar Eclipse point of 19 degrees Aries. In Mundane Astrology (the astrology of politics and world affairs), this is generally held to be a moment when the energy of an eclipse finds an outlet.

I don't think it's crass to search for astrological correlations to disasters. If we could foretell them, then maybe warnings could be given and lives could be saved. However, I think that's a long way off.
