A Comet Brings Disaster to Ohio!

Recently, the entire US is realizing one of the greatest environmental disasters in our time has occurred. A Norfolk Southern train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed at East Palestine Ohio on Feb 3, 2023 at approximately 8:55 PM. Some of the hazardous chemicals on the train are vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, isobutylene, combustible liquids, and benzene. Vinyl chloride is particularity dangerous as it has an explosive risk and is a carcinogen. On February 6, 2023 at approximately 3:30 PM, authorities decided to burn the vinyl chloride which released toxic gases such as hydrogen chloride and phosgene.

The controlled burn was poorly communicated to the public. Near the site and in neighboring Pennsylvania, many wildlife, farm animals, and pets were killed by the resulting release of toxic gases. Additionally, since a lot of chemicals leaked even before the control burned happened, they went into the the local streams and rivers killing off fish and frogs. The public is only now beginning to realize the damage done to the environment.

While crews work to clean up what is left, questions still remain on what caused the disaster. Officially, it was a faulty wheel which melted causing the derailment. Metaphysically, it was likely caused by something that has always been thought to bring disasters, comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). This comet has recently made the news because shortly before this event happened it reached mag 4.4 in brightness, making it visible in the night sky to everyone in the Northern hemisphere.

From my previously research into comets, this means the comet now had an astrological effect. Furthermore, based on the observation of the green coloring of the comet, we can assign a planetary association to the comet. In modern astrology, this means Venus, although a more traditional astrologer would probably assign Jupiter or Saturn energies to the comet. Here I will go with the more traditional color associations and assign the comet energies of Jupiter and Saturn. Knowing this and placing it into the chart of the derailment and the controlled burn reveals some startling results.

First the train detrimental chart. The time on the chart is very accurate, as train are highly monitored these days. Looking at the chart one thing jumps out immediately, Neptune in Pisces on the Descendant. It is partile and within 7 minutes of being exact! Neptune is the ruler of chemicals in general. Calculating the approximate location of the comet gives approximately 27 degrees Gemini. This places the comet in the 10^th House, near the Midheaven and in a applying square to Neptune since it is moving retrograde. With the comet having the Jupiter-Saturn attributes (big desolation) in Gemini (trains-transportation), squaring Neptune (chemicals) disaster was ordained in the metaphysical sense.

This of course continued on with the “control burn” chart for the disaster. Here the comets retrogrades back to approximately 19 degrees Gemini. This is a separating square, but with different house placements. Neptune is now in the 9^th House and the comet is on the cusp of the 12^th House! Now it makes sense that no one was warned since the comet is now in a hidden house.

This is a major disaster and is being compared to Chernobyl, which in some sense is unfair. That was nuclear disaster and the fallout will last centuries. Here are chemicals that will disappear within a few decades. But in the metaphysical sense the comparison is apt. Chernobyl occurred a little but after the return of Halley’s Comet in 1986. Not only that, the political fallout lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union. We haven’t seen the political fallout of this disaster yet, but there some indications it could be similar, since the Federal government is absent in the response.

Only time will tell if this comparison is just or not.
