Hurricane Helene which has been ravaging North Carolina in particular is the deadliest mainland storm since Katrina in 2005. 200 are known to have died, with hundreds still missing and 780,000 homes are without power nearly a week after it made landfall.
This week’s Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees Libra was a repeat of the October 2005 Solar eclipse at 10 Libra which occurred only a few weeks after Katrina.
Under the shadow of the previous 10 Libra Solar eclipse in 1986 there were a series of strong to very strong earthquakes in California with the Iran Contra scandal blowing up a couple of months after.
One back in 1978 another 9 Libra Eclipse saw another very strong California quake with the Jim Jones cult suicide in the aftermath as well as the assassination of the San Francisco Mayor and City Supervisor.
In March 1968 an 8 Aries Solar Eclipse shook the USA to the core with the Tet offensive and My Lai massacre in Vietnam just before, and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr a few days after and the killing of Robert F. Kennedy in early June.
These repeating eclipses are on or close to the same degree but in different Saros series. They still shook up the USA significantly.
The USA 1776 chart does have Saturn at 14 degrees Libra which might be part of the picture; and also has its destructive, disaster-prone Mars/Pluto midpoint at 9 degrees Aries. Which means the eclipse late next March 2025 will also have an effect.
