It is with a glad heart that I acknowledge that the limb fell when I went out on it to announce a flood in Boulder for yesterday.
However, with a sad heart I see that with the same chart, the people of Iowa City, IA experienced a 500 year flood. Officials said more than 400 blocks were under water, and thousands of homes were evacuated.
Could this have been what I initially saw?
I do not know, but a friend who says she is good at reflecting karma and who would have been in the middle of the Boulder flood, is convinced that she reflected the flood to her hometown in Iowa.
Astrology insight is more complicated than it might at first appear!
I have since looked at news websites etc. for the timing of when the river breached the sandbag levees on Thursday, June 12, and can only find vagueness.
I think it was around 10:20am, when the following chart was nigh.
Water signs were on the ascendant for rashi, navamsha, saptamsha, trimshamsa, and dashamsa.
This has everything to do with my earlier post of having malefics in Cancer this month in the water. Here they are in the first house with the ascendant right on them.
What also makes this timing seem appropriate are the placements of Jupiter in the divisionals.
The navamsha suggests lots of water just happened with Jupiter in Scorpio just passed overhead and a loss of character through water with Ketu in Pisces.
The D-10 with Jupiter in the tenth seems appropriate for someone (here a city) who is suddenly in the sympathy of the nation but whose image is terribly afflicted with Saturn and Mars in the first in a bad water sign and whose ego (Sun) and beauty (Venus) are lost (in the twelfth).
The strength of the city (D-27) is also severely compromised at this time but with Jupiter in upachaya Pisces in the third, I think the city will pull through:
Also, drekkana supports a weak infrastructure at the time.
Chaturtamsa suggests general unhappiness then as well.
Trimshamsa (misfortune) has debilitated Jupiter in the twelfth and all the malefics in kendras except for an exalted Mars in the third, so maybe that will be what is gained by the this misfortune, i.e., a sense of strength and courage and development of future infrastructure.
Ultimately, to see where the city is going to go, look at the D-9 again. Pisces ascendant and Jupiter trine, suggests the water, the river, will remain a defining component of the city and things will eventually be ok, but the dasha suggests not for a while. Come February a dasha change arrives to the chart, from Moon to Mars, so there may be fighting over how to rebuild the city then, maybe from a winter storm.
Something else to consider: I repeatedly asked my guides “There will be a flood in Boulder on Thursday? In Boulder?” and repeatedly got the answer “Yes.” Maybe that’s because the flood WAS in Boulder on that day, in our hearts and minds and TV sets. I’ll learn how to be more precise.

Hi I own and operate a small salon called Zing on 11th and Spruce…I was praying that you were right so that I would get some insurance money and be able to open my future business RAIN-a rebalancing center where the different forms of healing are used to centralize your energy. Is there any possiblities we still might have a flood? I dont quite understand the email fully.kindness joy

Wow! This is truly amazing. It seems you may have just been looking at the wrong geographical area.
I think the vagueness about when it all began, or when it first became serious or significant, is a reflection of the gradual awareness of the locals of the seriousness of the situation. (And it didn’t happen suddenly, as with flash flooding, but over a period of days.)
I have seen footage of this, and found that it is a multi-city, even a multi-state disaster, and have to wonder if it even may approach the scale of the Katrina flooding. It looks really bad.
One concern I have is that the Mississippi River is high, and that there may be a “snowball effect” as the volume of the water from all the storms moves downstream to the southern states in that region, most notably Louisiana. Time will tell.
Far from being wrong, I think your prediction is playing out, perhaps even more dramatically than you had anticipated. In a way, the geographical misplacement is trivial, in that we are all connected as a people, both in degrees of separation (or connection), and at the ultimate ground of reality.
I recall that my mother observed people who would comment, “There but for the grace of God go I,” and she thought they ought to just say, “There go I, ” because we are not really separate from one another. (There is a similar saying in Sanskrit; perhaps you can refresh my memory of that.)
Thank you for your insight!

Robin, you may be thinking of “Om Tat Sat”. (I Am That.)
Thank you for your comment. I think you brought up a fundamental truth of astrology and humanity.
Indeed, I Am That.
That’s really beautiful, “There go I.”
God’s grace is everywhere, so indeed “There but for the grace of God” can either be omitted or used in every single thought. Same thing.

Joy,
I will look further into our own floodprone-ness and let you know when I see something!
Best,
Renay

Hey Renay – Another thought. How much do you think your readings reflect the natural order and how much the man-made order? What I mean is, there are lots of preparations to keep Boulder Creek from overflowing. Is it possible you saw a flood that might have happened without the infrastructure, etc. that’s been put around the creek?

Anne, I think astrologically speaking that man-made order is a subset of natural order, as I understand them. Hence, the precautions and so forth are totally accounted for in the astrological changes of the city.
That is what I have gathered from many observations and testing. Good question though!
Renay
