Thursday Oct.
1st 2015; El Faro was making it's way through hurricane seas with 30 foot waves crashing over her sides.
The El Faro, a 790 ft. cargo ship launched in 1974, made her last radio call at 7:20 am: "We've lost power & propulsion"
The ship probably could have made a successful run to Puerto Rico in the teeth of Hurricane Joaquin had she not lost all power. It was not to be however.
Below are both the El Faro's astro charts; it's launch and sinking.
At inception the new ship was named Puerto Rico.
It was later changed to El Faro.
1974 Launch Virgo Moon opposes Skat @ 07 Pisces in the sinking chart.
In ancient times fixed star Skat was known as "the King of the Deluge"
Launch Neptune's lord; Jupiter 16AQ conjuncts asteroid Damocles "immanent danger'
Jupiter's lord Saturn in mutable Gemini is retrograde in the anoretic 29th degree; the situation on October 1, 2015 will be critical.
We see mutable Saturn Rx conjuncts fateful South Node; "point of maximum loss".
Lastly Saturn +Node conjuncts fixed star Betelgeuse.
El Faro Sinking Event
Taurus Moon conjuncts Caput Algol
Moon's sub-ruler Venus in Leo is squared by Algol - to press on heedlessly.
Venus' lord, Libra Sun conjuncts Mercury Rx in 12th of hidden conditions, breakdowns.
Libra challenged in the 12th house represents balance and it's catastrophic loss.
Launch Neptune conjuncts Saturn in the sinking chart.
This means water - the deluge reclaims goods, valuables, the ship is lost.
Neptune Rx conjuncts fixed star Skat 7 Pisces; "King of the Deluge"
Moon in the 8th house; the crew, e.g. people are the victims.
According to ex-crew members, "Beneath it's top deck, El Faro was a rust bucket".
Perhaps age, rust and a fated 1993, 91' structural expansion contributed to the tragedy.
Ill-timed travel plans went awry. Engines failed. Thirty-three crew lives were lost.
In the 1974 Launching chart we are reminded of what Saturn / South Node / *Betelgeuse stands for; treachery to friends, crafty, cunning, harsh control & restriction of information.
[per Robson]. To wit; the El Faro crew members families are being sued to limit claims on the owners, Tote Marine ... see the link below.
Interocean Management Corp. was TOTE MARITIME'S original owner.
See NYS filing: October 1st, 1975 in NYC [per SEC / NYS records].
Nasty Legalities abound in our history ...
Hybris - "to commit an outrage, a scandal"
Libra - patron sign of Law Courts
On the day of the El Faro Sinking, Oct. 1st 2015, Libra Sun was in the same degree
as the parent Interocean Management Corp. NYS Filing Oct. 1st 1975.
IMC natal Sun was also conjunct asteroid Hybris 7 Libra.
Oct, 1st Sun / Hybris also conjuncts El Faro's Launch Pluto in Libra (death).
Sinking: Exactly Forty Years Later - almost to the hour.
With Oct. 1, 2015 Solar Return came the full impetus of IMC's Hybris in Libra;
to commit 'a legal outrage' e.g to file suit against the crew's families
to limit liability / damage claims on TOTE Maritime et al.
