It's also very simple to interpret what azizi is talking about, in mythic terms.

The astrological transit she has brought up is the coming together of Uranus and Pluto.

Uranus (mythology)
In Greek mythology, the primeval sky god, whose name means 'Heaven'. He was responsible for both the sunshine and the rain, and was the son and husband of Gaia, the goddess of the Earth. Uranus and Gaia were the parents of Kronos and his fellow Titans, the one-eyed giant Cyclops, and the 100-handed Hecatoncheires.

Pluto (mythology)
In Greek mythology, lord of Hades, the underworld and also his original name. His Roman counterpart was Dis (also Orcus). He was the son of the Titans Kronos and Rhea; and brother of Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter. He abducted and married Persephone, daughter of the goddess of agriculture Demeter, causing winter on Earth; Persephone was eventually allotted six months of each year in Hades, and six with her mother.

Now add to those meanings a huge hurricane, a major US city known for it's decadence, in it's path--in a region of the US dominated by ignorance and superstition (Christianity), ruled by the lords of hell (first demagogue Democrats, now demagogue Republicans), all occuring in the sign of Pisces, the sign astrologers assigned to ruling the ocean (through Neptune) and the oil industry.

Add to the fact the "defenders" (National Guard) of the realm were long absent on their emperor's quest (Operation Iraqi Freedom), and hence unable to guard and protect the hearth and home when it suffered a calamity, and you even begin to see shades of Homer surfacing out of the muck and debris.
