The Dominican Republic and Tourist Deaths An astrological fall from grace

Recently there have been a rash of tourist deaths at Dominican Republic resorts, immediately following resort stays —all within the past year. The media attention to the deaths of these visitors led me to look at the astrological chart of the Dominican Republic. What current astrological transits and indicators point the way and give insight to these sudden deaths and to the numerous others who fell dangerously ill while vacationing at the island’s resorts?

Surly over the years people have died or got sick while on vacation in the Dominican Republic but currently the media attention is tightly focused on this island. There are many unanswered questions such as why some visitors to the Dominican dodged death but instead fell dangerously ill. Some vacationers reported a weird “chemical smell” and others reported that they became ill after having a drink from the hotel room’s minibar.

Local and federal US authorities are investigating these numerous rash deaths to see if they can figure out what is going on. Maybe astrology can help figure it out. Many questions need to be answered such as, do US citizens mostly fall victim, are visitors from countries other than the US, getting sick or dying, and who or what are perpetrating this unfortunate situation for the Dominican Republic, an island who depends on tourism.

Granted, tourist can die while on vacation but I particularly wanted to see what aspects are currently putting the Dominican Republic in the public eye.

I am going to keep the analysis of the Dominican Republic’s chart simple yet very foretelling since some readers may not be familiar with the more intricate astrological aspects and terminology.

Below is the birth chart for the Dominican Republic showing the planetary transits at the time of this writing (June 29,2019) in order to get a view of the situation currently going on.

The birth data for the Dominican Republic is gives as August 4,1496 at 9:19 AM, Santo Domingo, DR. The country is a Leo Sun (12 Leo 18) sign with Libra (3 Libra 6) rising. This indicates a proud country, a beautiful island Venus ruled (Libra rising) full with the sound is local music, and a place for romantic vacations

The Sun in Leo is in the Eleventh house and within an orb of 7 degrees of Mars (5Leo35) also in the sign of Leo This indicates a country that is very passionate and also competitive. Since the Eleventh house rules group activities, it is evident that the Dominican Republic has produced a number of outstanding baseball players and talented people.

This Sun/ Mars configuration is in opposition to Uranus (12 Aquarius 3), in the Fifth house of pleasure, vacation seekers, lovers, and creative outlets. Uranus is a very unpredictable planet that brings surprises and unique experiences. It can also be disruptive

Currently, at this writing, we see that Uranus, the ruler of the Dominican’s Fifth house is transiting through Taurus, which is the Eighth house of death, and debt This can account for the probability that quick, sudden, deaths of an unusual cause are now plaguing pleasure seeking visitors to the Dominican more so now than ever.

The Eighth house being Taurus, is Venus ruled. Venus is all about finance, the finer things in life and love. It also rules the Dominican’s Libra ascendant. The visit by disruptive Uranus to this portion of the Dominican’s chart also shows how there is most likely financial upsets due to the decrease in tourism because of the string of highly publicized recent deaths.

The Eighth house also holds Chiron, (27 Taurus 59) showing where one is wounded. Chiron is besieged meaning that it is between Algol (26 Taurus 10) a fixed star that often shows up in disastrous accidents with death. Situated on the other side of Chiron is Alcyone (00 Gemini 00), a fixed star noted in astrology for its association with deep sorrows tragedies, and bereavements. Most likely in about four or five years, Uranus moving closer to Chiron and the fixed stars may set off another set of misfortune especially since the eclipses on the Aries Libra axis (ascendant/descendant) of the Dominican Republic will come into play. We can see how Uranus transiting through the Eighth house may unsettle things until it finally exits in 2016.

The Solar eclipse on July 2,2019 is (10  Cancer 38) so technically in The Dominican’s  Ninth house (foreigners, travelers) and although the orb of the eclipse is roughly 7 degrees away from the Tenth house MC (reputation and how you are seen in the world) what is more notable is that the eclipse is opposite Neptune (6 Capricorn 5)in the Dominican’s  Fourth house (the home, the grave).  Neptune is associated on the positive side with beauty, illusion, and the subtle nuances of a dreamy life but is currently wobbled by the Solar eclipse on July 2,2019.

On the negative side Neptune indicates drowning, asphyxiation, gas, poisons, and drugs. It is also associated with mysterious deaths and disappearances.  Currently both Saturn and Pluto, two tough planets are transiting The Dominican Republic’s Fourth house. This brings about tragedy and disillusionment. Saturn represents government and also heavy burdens. Pluto is a bully. the underworld. It is death, power, and control. This hard-edged transit of both Saturn and Pluto to the Fourth house of the Dominican Republic can filter into one thinking about who or what is currently stirring the pot affecting not only tourism but also threatening the powers that be.

Looking at the Sixth house of the Dominican Republic, Neptune (18 Pisces 43r) is currently not only transiting this house but there is also a direct conjunction with the Vertex (18 Pisces 27). The Vertex is a mathematical point in the chart. As an astrological point, it is connected with karma and fate, and it functions when triggered by planet transits and in this case, we are looking at Neptune. Since Neptune is currently retrograde one may assume that these suspicious deaths may not be over.

The Sixth house encompasses health, sanitary conditions, civil servants, local 

government, and inferiors. Could some group irresponsibly not be abiding by proper sanitary measures? Remember Neptune is associated with deadly chemicals, drugs, alcohol, and suspicious deaths. Neptune also rules hidden things and hidden enemies. This gives some clues as to what is behind the rash of tourist deaths currently going on in the Dominican Republic.

Intuitively looking at the chart for the Dominican Republic and the current planetary transits I can’t help but wonder if there is some covert bully group out to undermine the tourist resorts unless a price is paid. Just my thoughts.

An astrological chart for either a country, person, or event holds tons on knowledge and clues to how the potential, probabilities of planetary energy play out. I focused in on just some very basic, obvious astrological markers so as not to write a small book on the visitor deaths on the Dominican Republic.

As a caveat please note that the visitors who died or fell ill while visiting the island may have had markers in their astrological charts that indicated these unfortunate events. Without knowing the birth data for each visitor who died or became ill an astrologer can assume that when the birth chart of the visitor is analyzed against the astrological chart of the Dominican, certain conditions, such as death or illness may be indicated.  Also, a relocation chart for the visitor (basically a birth chart drawn up to describes astrological influences of any locality based on your natal chart can be helpful when planning vacations, visits, business traveling, or relocating.  Primarily I am looking not so much into each visitor who became seriously ill or died but rather at the Dominican Republic, an island knows for tourism
