Initial Data

ikipedia lists the timing of the event as: "On April 26, 1986, the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded at 01:23 AM local time."

* Date: Apr 26, 1986 (Sat) * Time: 1:23

* Place: Ukraine (current), Chernobyl * Coordinates: 30° E 14' x 51° N 16'

* Time Zone: ‐3 from Greenwich (DST in effect)

Horror in the 1st House

The first house (the constellation rising in the East) is almost always the first focal point for any astrological reading. The first house for the Chernobyl Disaster is horrifying.

Crossing the Galactic Rift with no Bridge At the moment of the explosion, and in time directly leading up to and following that event, the eastern horizon crossed the most dangerous and powerful area of the entire zodiac: The galactic center itself ‐ a vast black hole.

This galactic center is made even more difficult as an astrological entity because it lies at what Vedic Astrology calls "gandanta:" the border between a fire‐ element constellation and a water‐element constellation. These borders are naturally

challenging since fire and water do not blend, but the real kicker is that the Occult Zodiac ("navamsha") repeats this fire/water border at the same spot, and the Lunar Zodiac border also coincides at this point. Thus it is a "difficult crossing with no bridges."

Charts

The eastern horizon crosses the galactic center gandanta once per day, so it is not on that basis alone that you should predict a disaster! But whenever the horizon crosses this point the potential for great difficulty becomes very high. If, with the eastern horizon in this

position, you have some other significantly bad indications in a chart, then you can predict negative outcomes with confidence.

So let's look at the rest of the "significantly bad indications" in the Chernobyl chart. Bad Scissors

In addition to the above, the Chernobyl disaster chart also has a classic combination ("yoga") called Bad Scissors ("Papa‐kartari"), because both neighbors of the first house are "bad" or "malefic" planets. Above the 1st House sits fiery, destructive and implosive Ketu in the 12th House of Loss. Below the 1st House lies fiery, destructive, and explosive Mars in the 2nd House of Gains.

The effect is that loss is exacerbated and gains are destroyed. The first house itself becomes influenced by its nasty neighbors and takes on their destructive, fiery and implosive/explosive characteristics.

We are talking about a nuclear disaster here, and this is not just any Bad Scissors combination we are looking at ‐ but a Bad Scissors formed by the most destructive and violent forces in the sky: Mars and Ketu.

Deeply Fallen Moon

The Moon is normally a source of tremendous blessing. But in the chart of the Chernobyl disaster she is devastated. Just two days previous to this event she suffered an Eclipse during her transit of Ketu. This weakens her tremendously.

On top of that, trying to escape the eclipse she found herself running headlong into the very worst portion of the sky for her: the first few degrees of Scorpio. This position always knocks out her ability to bless and help a chart ‐ and coming right on the heels of a lunar eclipse it is safe to say that the moon is completely void of any beneficial power whatsoever.

Wickedly Strong Saturn

aturn is almost always a source of grief. Putting him in Scorpio makes his ability to inflict grief even stronger because violent Mars owns this constellation. In the case of the Chernobyl disaster, Saturn is in Scorpio in both the normal solar zodiac and in the occult zodiac ("navamsha"). On top of that he is strengthened by being within his own Lunar Zodiac: Anuradha. What's more, he is retrograde and thus made even stronger still! Thus Saturn in the case of

Chernobyl is extremely powerful ‐ he brings this power straight to the all important 1st House.

Since Saturn is naturally malefic, when he becomes powerful it means that his badness increases.

The exception would be if there were strong beneficial influences on him, but in this chart there most certainly is not. In fact there is just the opposite ‐ very significant negative influences make Saturn more cruel and wicked than ever:

* Mars and Ketu are his violent neighbors.

* A completely destitute Moon is his house mate.

* Violent Ketu is his house mate in occult house of Scorpio.

* Violent Mars is the owner of his house in both the natural and occult zodiac. Conclusion on the 1st House

As stated at the outset, the 1st House for the Chernobyl disaster is horrifically bad. 1. It is in gandanta in the galactic center

2. It is flanked on both sides by nasty and violent Mars and Ketu

3. It is occupied by a completely wrecked and destitute planet: the Moon

4. It is occupied by an extremely powerful and wickedly disposed malefic: Saturn. Nodes Attacking Luminaries

Ketu sits in the 12th House of Loss. In that house he occupies the Lunar Zodiac called Chitra, which is owned by Mars. This creates yet another connection between the violently implosive Ketu and the violently explosive Mars.

Now Rahu... Rahu is within 5 degrees of the Sun. Essentially he has his mouth wide open to devour the luminous Sun. Thus both sources of light and hope (Sun and Moon) are being attacked and devoured by both the sources of wild extremes (Rahu and Ketu). The Moon is devastated and running into a ditch trying to escape her eclipse by Ketu, while the Sun is about to be swallowed by the devouring mouth of Rahu.
