WORLD CUP SOCCER 2002:
The Annular Ring of Power At Gollum's Ball
(or, APO-CALYPSO In YOKOHAMA?)
By Rab Wilkie

THE FIRST QUESTION IS, which team will be Pluto?
Because, as the Sun passes the Vertex on 30 June,
as seen from Yokohama when the final Cup game is
played, it opposes Pluto at the anti-vertex forming
the axis of an azimuthal Kite pattern. And we
already know that France is the favourite Sun.

World Cup Tensions

The soccer World Cup is about to get under way in Japan and South Korea. With three eclipses happening between now and the end of the competition, not to mention the Saturn-Pluto opposition, there will no doubt be many newsworthy events to keep the tabloids and fans happy. First shot across the bows of any dozing journalists has been the shock dismissal of the captain of Ireland's soccer team, Roy Keane, who is their only true world class player. His abusive and x-rated outburst directed at the manager will not endear him to soccer-loving grannies in his homeland. The astrology of the event is very appropriate and interesting.

As more than a few have pointed out on various mailing lists, the last couple of days have been more than a little eventful. There was the shooting dead of far right leader Pim Fortuyn in the Netherlands, another suicide bombing in Israel, a major plane crash in northeast China, a bus bomb in Pakistan, and the arrest of a young American student for his alleged connection with a series of pipe bombs in the United States.
I've culled data for all these events from various posts on mailing lists and news sources on the Internet, and am posting them in this article.

A plane has crashed in Kano, Nigeria killing 76 people. The death toll is expected to rise as the airliner crashed shortly after take off in a densely populated area. The Guardian is so far the only news source I've been able to find with a time for the crash, reporting a time of 13:30(12:30 UT) in Kano, Nigeria. You can read the full report here. Read further for some quick astrological tidbits.
Update [2002-5-6 13:15:34 by johnnyc]: Death toll now estimated at 148, including passengers and residents.

Some astrological material relating to the shooting dead of 18 people at a school in Germany is briefly described. Mars and Saturn were very much to the fore at the time of the event. Of particular note is the exact square between Uranus and the Ascendant / Midheaven midpoint during the shooting.

The Irish national TV station recently broadcast an interesting documentary about Irish nationals involved as combatants during the Vietnam War. There was a particular focus on one man who died in the conflict. His spirit was effectively resurrected from the dead during the course of the program. This article looks at some of the astrological symbolism relevant to his story, and its telling to the Irish public.

Everything that can get on the news or in history books is fair
game here. There will be the usual assortment of eclipse charts,
foundation maps, horaries, ingresses, heliacal risings, cosmic
risings, synastries between countries, between leaders and
countries, between leaders and their opponents... Not that we want
to limit you to these: mundane astrology has been one of the most
innovative fields of study in the past century. We hope that
urania.info will contribute to its continuing vitality.
Prediction is encouraged.
