Cargo ship sinks off Sri Lanka Coast - Play of planets

On 20th May 2021, a cargo ship 'X-Press Pearl' carrying Nitric acid and other hazardous substances caught fire near the shore of Sri Lanka. Though Sri Lankan Navy and Indian Coast Guard tried their best, the fire could not be put out and finally, on yesterday, the burning ship started sinking into the sea. They are fearing oil spil and leakage of the dangerous cargo material into the sea waters that may kill the fish and spoil the eco systems of Sri Lanka.

Let me look into it astrologically.

Though the Lagna of Sri Lanka is generally taken as Aquarius, I prefer to consider Leo as the rightful contestant because of the following reasons :

• The traditional name of Sri Lanka was Sinhala Desa, the land of lions. We know that Simha or Sinha means a lion.
• The flag of Sri Lanka shows a lion holding a sword. 

So, I would like to analyze the present topic from Leo Lagna.

• On 20th May 2021, Moon was in Leo, confirming the Lagna of Sri Lanka to be Leo.
• Simha Lagna had argala in 4/10 axis by exalted nodes, indicating a disaster in the country.
• Saturn and Pluto in 6th house of enemies, disease and debts aspects Pisces the watery sign and the 8th house indicating a disaster in the surrounding ocean and loss of fish.
• Saturn and Pluto looks at Moon in Leo with 6/8 aspect and Venus-Rahu duo with a close trinal aspect, We know that Rahu indicates chemicals and acids used in the manufacture of bombs, in this case Nitric Acid. Saturn is known to rule over oil and Venus, waters.
• Rahu and Venus have a square aspect with Moon in Leo.
• Above all, 4th house is Scorpio, a watery sign, where we have exalted Ketu representing a strong Mars, indicating fire in water.

The ship refused to obey the rescue efforts of two countries and finally began to sink yesterday, the 2nd June 2021. On the same day, Mars entered Cancer, another watery sign and 12th house of loss.

The surprising factor in the whole episode was the role of Mars. On 20th May, it was played by Ketu in Scorpio, mimicking the role of Mars while Mars proper took over yesterday and stepped into Cancer, both the signs being watery, pointing at a water related disaster.

How surprising was the play of planets in the whole episode !
