If you’ve been following the news, you’d know there have been several bomb attacks in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and that these attacks happened during screenings of the World Cup final. It would seem that an Islamic terrorist group was responsible, perhaps unhappy with Uganda’s sending of troops to Somalia.
According to the Uganda Media Centre, the first bomb went off at 10.25 pm local time on July 11, in a Kampala restaurant, where people were watching the World Cup. The explosion happened during half time.
From an astrological point of view, the obvious factor to consider was the total eclipse of the Sun, which took place at 10.40 pm, in other words only fifteen minutes later.
I had already picked up on the fact that this eclipse took place right in the middle of the World Cup final, in my forecast for the week starting on July 5. I wrote:
Nonetheless I can’t help thinking that it’s significant that the eclipse takes place right in the middle of the final match of the World Cup match, approximately in the 58th minute of play. Somehow this match will be memorable, but will it be for the right reasons?
When I wrote these words I was thinking about the possibility of a terrorist attack, but I thought it was the stadium in South Africa, where the match was taking place, that was vulnerable. It didn’t occur to me that people watching the World Cup on television, in other parts of Africa, were at risk.
I’ve tried to work out why it was Uganda that received the full brunt of the eclipse’s destructive power, and I didn’t come up with a satisfactory answer. It’s true that at the time of the eclipse Mars, the planet of violence, was close to the Western Horizon in Uganda, but the same can be said for a number of African countries, such as Mozambique, Kenya and Sudan. So it would have been very difficult for an astrologer to have given any specific warning – except to say don’t watch the World Cup in a public place, wherever in the world you live.
