On September 2-6, 1666, the Great Fire of London consumes much of the medieval city. The fire destroys 13,200 houses and 87 churches. Estimates suggest 6,000-8,000 deaths. The fire destroys the old cramped medieval city. The rebuilding by Christopher Wren creates modern London with wider streets and new buildings. The fire paradoxically improves the city's structure.
Saturn in Virgo destroys systems of order and creates opportunity for rebuilding with better organization. Virgo rules order, systems, and practical improvement. Saturn's fire destroys the old disorder (medieval London's cramped streets). The rebuilding (Virgo organization) creates a new city with better systems, wider streets, and improved sanitation. Destruction enables Saturnian order.
