The Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people in 2017 was the result of “dishonest” companies, successive governments, and a lack of strategy by the fire service, the official report out today concludes. It says a cladding product manufacturer “deliberately concealed” fire risks, while coalition and Conservative governments “ignored, delayed or disregarded” concerns. All deaths were avoidable, the inquiry chair says. There will be no charging decisions until end of 2026, says CPS due to the “sheer volume of evidence and complexity of the investigation”.
The fire broke out at 12.54 am on 14 June 2017 in London when Saturn and BML in Sagittarius were close to the Midheaven opposition the Sun and square Chiron. London was always supposed to be a Gemini city so that fits. Jupiter as per usual in a disaster was in play in an over-expansive square to Pluto and an opportunistic square to Mars. There was a Fire Grand Trine of Saturn, BML, Midheaven trine Uranus in Aries trine North Node which again can be arrogant, attention-seeking, a risk-taker and unrealistic. The Mars Pluto opposition moved to exact in following days as outrage grew. Neptune on the Ascendant squared Mercury pointing to the confusion in tackling the blaze.
The previous Solar Eclipse of 26 February 2017 located to London put the accident-prone, explosive Mars Uranus in Aries exactly conjunct the Midheaven opposition Jupiter and square Pluto hinting at the scale of the disaster to come. There was also an intense New Moon and Neptune in Pisces in the Eclipse 8th. And the Pisces New Moon of the eclipse was exactly conjunct the Ascendant of the fire outbreak.
Eclipses are often best guide to major catastrophes, man made or otherwise.
