The delta area of the Dnieper River in Ukraine resembles the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna in recent days. Early in the morning of the 6th<\/sup> of June 2023 the Nova Kakhovka dam failed and began flooding the areas downstream. Its failure was immediately labelled to be an act of sabotage and terrorism on both sides \u2013 Ukrainian\/Western and Russian. But was it, though? As of this writing there are no clear answers as to what really happened to the dam to cause it to fail. What does the astrology tell us about the event? We will look at that and more here. For more, read on\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding the exact time for such an event is not always easy. On the day of the rupture of the dam there was no time for the event to be seen, except in the Moscow Times<\/em>. We have this from Zelenskyy himself, throwing up the one of the first accusations about who did the deed<\/a><\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

“The world must react,” he said on social media, adding that Russia had carried out “an internal explosion of the structures” of the plant at 2:50 a.m. local time. This is just one Russian act of terrorism. This is just one Russian war crime,” he added, accusing Russia of committing an act of “ecocide.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He ought to know the timing of the event, especially if he ordered it. But then, we don\u2019t know if the dam was actually attacked or if it was a semi-natural disaster neither side wanted. However, his statement does give us a time for the event. The chart is below (bigger<\/span><\/a>):<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyperbole about ecocide aside, the immediate standout from the chart is the Pluto square with the horizon axis, and opposed by Venus, forming a Great Square. The Pluto square reminds us of another large event in Ukraine<\/a><\/span>. We note Eris (Discord) just behind the Ascendant in the 12th<\/sup> house (secret enemies, subterfuge), and one of the dwarf planets, Haumea, in partile conjunction to the Descendant in the 7th<\/sup> house. So, this chart is somewhat similar to the Khmelnitsky blast. We will come back to the astrology, but begin with some preliminaries and then what happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

The dam at Nova Kakhovka was built by the Soviets in the \u201850s. The reservoir behind the dam supplies irrigation water for the Kherson region and water for Crimea via the North Crimean Canal<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With that last bit of info we can already see a reason why the Ukrainians would want to lower the water level in the reservoir: It would once again cut the water supply to Crimea, which the Ukrainians did after Maidan in 2014 by damming the canal. That canal itself was started in 1957 and took almost 20 years to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Russians were quite proud of the Kakhovka dam<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTonight, Ukrainian troops once again fired at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. The cyclopean structure built by our ancestors could not withstand the many months of attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Surface structures and the engine room were destroyed, the dam was broken. Now the reservoir is rapidly shallowing, a wave several meters high is rolling along the Dnieper, flooding houses and flooding the left bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

The miracle of civilization, the beautiful Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, was built in the 50s by Soviet people<\/strong>, who could not even imagine that their own grandchildren, having enrolled in the “Ukrainians”, would hit it with artillery. It was created by the best professionals from all over the Soviet Union, the latest technologies were used there, the whole town of Novaya Kakhovka was built specifically for the needs of the hydroelectric power station. The birthday of the Kakhovskaya HPP has become a holiday for our entire vast country. And this masterpiece of engineering and human labor has been hammered by the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for months.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Emphasis added. We will come back to the artillery hammering in a bit. In the days leading up to the collapse of the dam the water level in the reservoir had risen sharply:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ukrainians had opened the floodgates in dams higher up the Dnieper River<\/span><\/a> at least a month before the collapse, putting excessive pressure on the dam, which was said to be at critical levels at the time of its collapse. Two hours before the collapse Ukrainian troops were observed retreating from the right bank of the river<\/a><\/span> along with their heavy weaponry. So, they knew what was coming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to the bit about artillery strikes, there seems to be some confusion around that. There were surveillance cameras at the site, but at the time of the rupture there were no explosions recorded. There were no sounds of missiles or incoming shells, either before or after the fact. Were they covered up? But there were explosions after the spans of the dam collapsed, again with no sounds of \u2018incoming\u2019 or missile strikes. So what caused those explosions? There is speculation those were caused by floating mines, either deliberately sent down-river or by mines dislodged from the embankments. There was one unverified video of one of those explosions<\/a><\/span>, which was underwater, consistent with a floating mine.<\/span>that video was from November of last year<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There was a video of a large explosion at the dam that was claimed to be the main event, shared across social media and in commentary on the event. But it turns out . This has been verified by independent and Russian sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

But more consistent with the dam simply failing were satellite photos of sections of the dam already failing a few days before the actual collapse, with the center where the road portion had been previously damaged already leaking on the 4th<\/sup>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F24ff04a2-b813-4e2f-b7d7-f5f11b8a3330_940x1058.jpeg\"<\/span><\/p>\n

That failure would be caused by the excess, critical water pressure behind the dam, coupled with artillery strikes by Ukraine on the dam in the months preceding the event. The general conclusion at this point, given the absence of artillery strikes on the day of the collapse, is the dam collapsed due to excess pressure. This is consistent with the astrology of the event, as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we are dealing with a water disaster (which this is), we look to Neptune and the Moon in the event chart. We would also look at Saturn, which governs dams. Midpoints figure strongly in event charts and in this case the midpoints give indications of wrong thinking and general weakness of the structure. In particular we look to the Neptune\/Midheaven midpoint, since that midpoint also involves the opposite pole to the MC, with is the IC (4th<\/sup> house, infrastructure). So we have weakness and confusion (Neptune) involved with infrastructure (MC\/IC axis). We find Mercury and Uranus at that midpoint:<\/span><\/p>\n
