Besiegement and stuff

Oslo, Norway Nov.28 2007

Moon VOC in Cancer - besieged by Mars and (SN) Saturn.
Oslo gets this winters first snow. A sufficient amount is guaranteed to put the traffic into a spin, slippy roads are reported, but we are not besieged by snow as yet. However...

Last night about midnight Norwegian time the Norwegian Central Station in Oslo was hit by a short circuit/fire, which has knocked out railservices not only Oslo but also in most regions of southern Norway. Over 80.000 passangers are affected, busses have not been able to deal with the situation and people have been advised to find other means of transport or stay at home.

Many wanting to get to work this morning were met with a Void of Course Moon in Cancer. While people could appreciate that there had been a fire preventing trains from being run, they could not understand the lack of information. The fire has affected the train service up to Oslo Airport (which lies almost 60km outside Oslo!), has knocked out many internet services due to damaged cables. Oslo Stock Exchange experience parts of their communication systems down and they have had difficulty in getting out information. Areas round the Central Station (Saturn, South node, Virgo) were in darkness and without electricity this morning.

I have in my notes Oslo ruled by Cancer and particularly the 6th degree. Retrograde Mars hasn't returned to that degree yet, but the Moon last passing over retrograde Mars in Cancer (Oslo) is indicative of the short circuit/fire. Seeing that the Moon moves towards the body of Saturn, who with the South node in Virgo (wires, networks!), this seems significant of the various public communication systems that have been effected: National trainservices (Saturn), internetsites and stockmarket/brokers.

In the Norwegian news today is also the collapse of Terra Securites (Saturn and South Node in Earth) which declares bankruptcy in the wake of having lost over 400mill NOK on behalf of 4 Norwegian Councils in the North (Mars in water). The money of these communities was made on water power (Mars Cancer), this being their primary source of income. Having lost these funds the communities involved have to face cuts of an entirely different kind. Terra (Saturn in earth) are located in the South.

Transit Saturn is now transitting the ascendant of the National chart of Norway at 8VI48. http://www.astronor.com/norway.htm
