Good morning JMG,

Over on twitter, a few accounts have been doing a day by day retrospective of the 45th year anniversary of Mt St Helen. A theme that emerged was that the scientists knew that the volcano was going to erupt, but with no idea as to when.

Interestingly, the first tremors that indicated the beginning of the eruptive cycle occurred within a few hours of the Aires ingress. The entirety of the 1980 volcanic cycle has been well documented, especially in regards to the time and place of various tremors and eruptions. This makes for a great test case for testing out any preexisting astrological lore regarding volcanic events.

My question is, what lore is there in mundane astrology with respect to volcanic events? As to the uncertainty the scientists faced, would using the lunation charts help in this? The new moon of May 13th, right before the May 18 eruption had an exact opposition between Sun-Moon and Uranus, with the Cancer on the 4th house cusp as measured from Olympia, WA.

Lastly, as someone in the region at that time, do you have any recollection of what the occult press had to say about said events?
