Recent Outbursts

The most recent outburst was on February 9, 1946:

On February 8, Kim Il Sung was elected Chairman of the Interim People’s Committee in the Soviet-occupied portion of Korea.
On February 9, The Cold War began. Stalin said another war was inevitable because of the “capitalist development of the world economy.”

The previous outburst on May 12, 1866, coincided with a British banking collapse and financial crisis that was termed the Panic of 1866.

Summary

The 80-year cycle of the eruption indicates significant political, social, financial and environmental cycles. The recent events support the Saturn nature of the Blaze Star’s spectra with themes of control, fear, hardship, separation and isolation.

I would add a Pluto influence because of dictators, superpowers and nuclear weapons. So, a Saturn/Pluto nature suggests crises, chaos, forced change, immigration, the occult, paranormal, organized crime, conspiracies, extreme hardship, poverty and global organizations, alliances, wars and treaties. Positively, it brings great determination, resilience, transformation and evolution.
