California fires

Dorothy Kovach, who lives in California, asked horary question: "When will the forest fires come under control?"

Mars, being ruler of 8th house of death danger placed in 12th house, is a significator of Californian fires. It changes the sign from fiery Leo for earthy Virgo, and earth is an enemy of fire, one of possible methods of fighting it. The Mars position gives us about three time units; this is fixed sign of Leo (slow timing) but cadent house (fast timing). Therefore, I would take it as weeks. Since horary was asked on 26th June, I would say that possible date of ceasing fire is 15-20 of July.

UPDATE OF JULY 15

Here is the Fire Overview by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, stating that by July 15, 1983 out of 2010 peak fires (i.e., more than 95%) have been contained.

Wow, I like your solution to this. I would not have known where to find "forest fire" in the chart - my first inclination would have been to look at the 4th house cusp as "condition of the land." But lord 8, "mortal threat," makes sense too.

Hello Christine,

Thank you for your kind words. I just hope the reading was correct: people in California are suffering badly.
