On
January 15, 2009 an extraordinary pilot, known as "Sully," safely
guided all 155 passengers and crew aboard US Airways Flight
1549 to
an emergency water landing in the frigid Hudson River
after its twin engines shut down
after sucking in a flock of birds.
The
BBC in reporting about the Miracle on the Hudson said: "If you
could choose a pilot to crash-land your plane, Captain Chesley
'Sully'
Sullenberger
III would
be a
good choice."
(the
article)
I'd
say that the universe did pick Sully to pilot that plane.
If
Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger
III (born
January 23, 1951) had recently visited with an astrologer,
then he would have likely heard that with transiting
Uranus (the astrological planet of the unexpected) about
to be conjuncting his karmic birth North Node in mid
January
2009 that
he should be prepared for the unpredictable.
Yep!
New experiences were likely to abound for Captain Sully, possibly
prompting a change of direction more in line with his true
and ultimate purpose in life.
It was likely that his life would take an unexpected
turn and that he might discover where he truly belonged.
With
transiting Jupiter also conjuncting his birth Sun, it would
be a
time of optimism and self-confidence, feeling that he could
take on the world. It would be a time that he might
likely receive recognition and appreciation.
The
further good news was that with transiting Jupiter also trining
his birth Saturn, he would likely
be able to successfully shoulder any responsibilities that
might come his way, helping him make
the most
of new opportunities to expand his world. He would be feeling
confident in many areas of his life, using his
good
judgement
in order to make decisions that had the potential for
long-term success. It would be a time to tap into his own wisdom.
Summing
it up, mid January 2009
would be a time to sieze opportunities in the knowledge
that Captain Sully was
on
the right track.
Looking
at the Charts
The
event chart of the Miracle on the Hudson is striking on its
own merit with Uranus, Saturn, and Mars all conjuncting
various chart angles. Uranus (the unexpected) is conjunct the
Midheaven. Saturn (limitations, depression, tragedy) is conjunct
the IC. Mars (action) is conjunct the Descendant.
The
event chart, by itself, denotes a tragic accident taking place.
With
Saturn and the Moon in the 4th house it is an accident possibly
connected with
water. In the event chart, by itself, there (to my admittedly
limited eyes) appears to be very little indicating the outcome
of
this tragedy.
In
fact, if I'd been given this event chart and was told that
it involved an accident with an airliner, and was then asked
if the event ultimately had a
positive
outcome - based on several factors, including a void of course
Moon, I would given it a 50/50 or too close to call.
However,
in retrospect, comparing the event chart of the Miracle on
the
Hudson along with Captain Sully's birth chart is quite frankly
staggering. (the
biwheel)
In
comparing the two charts, among many other
things, take special note of Captain Sully's birth
North Lunar Node conjuncting the event's
Midheaven.
If
we had access to Captain Sully's exact birth time it would
likely be even more
staggering.
Captain
Sully was born to be the pilot of that plane...
