Chernobyl, forty years on, remains the worst and most expensive nuclear disaster in history. Complicated technical reasons were given for the meltdown but a drama series on Sky points firmly who was really responsible for the disaster — ‘the rotten, rotting Soviet state.’
‘It presents a view of politics where ideology is unassailable and allegiance to the motherland is more important than the lives of thousands. As scientists piped up about the gravity of the radiation situation and were shouted down as if they were insolent schoolboys telling lies, you also began to realise how little you knew about this disaster.’ “Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid. That is how an RBMK reactor explodes: lies.”
A catastrophe of this magnitude is usually the portent to history-changing events to follow and sure enough three years later the USSR collapsed.
The Chernobyl blowout occurred on 26 April 1986 at 1.23 AM with a 4th house Taurus Sun conjunct the North Node opposition a 10th house Pluto, trine/sextile Neptune in Capricorn. A major blockage from Sun Pluto in fixed signs channels its intensity through an unstable Neptune. The Sun was conjunct Sedna, the myth of betrayal. The wounded Chiron was in the 6th house of health and opposition Saturn conjunct Antares, the heart of the Scorpion.
Astrology King: Saturn conjunct Antares: Materialistic, dishonest through circumstances created by the environment, many failures, hampered by relatives, unfavourable for domestic matters, much sickness to and sorrow from children.
The Scorpio Moon was opposition Venus conjunct the destructive Algol square Nessus, which last rules risks and danger. Uranus was on the Ascendant for sudden, unpredictable change.
The Lunar Eclipse two days before located to Moscow puts the disruptive Uranus on the IC hinting at the shifting foundations to come.
Transiting Pluto at 5 degrees Scorpio over the Chernobyl meltdown, had from early 1986 started a two year square to the Russia 1917 Neptune, hinting at the devastation facing the Soviet state in the three years following until its collapse in late 1989.
Much the same as Russia is facing in 2027/28 with tr Pluto opposition its Neptune.
