Andromeda regains freedom from captivity

Cleveland (CNN) -- Three women freed from a decade of captivity inside a Cleveland home celebrated in the arms of their families Tuesday, as police and the FBI worked to unravel the details of their abductions. Amanda Berry, Georgina "Gina" DeJesus and Michele Knight were freed Monday night after Berry attracted the attention of a neighbor who helped her escape. A 6-year-old girl that police said is believed to be Berry's daughter was also freed. "Help me, I am Amanda Berry," the young woman told police in a frantic 911 call from the neighbor's house. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here, I'm free now."

The May 9 solar eclipse [19ta31] is very significant for Cleveland, Ohio  since it is placed exactly on the Descendant. Here is the left foot of the “chained woman” Andromeda who in ancient texts is described as "the pregnant woman".   In India this was the star Bharani, ‘Bearing’ or ‘She who bears’ associated with “destruction, disgrace, deceit and imprisonment. Here was also  the Chinese Wei linked with “imprisonment, punishment and execution”. The eclipse is conjunct the stars Botein and Rana which Nick Fiorenza aptly describes as “lost sheep”. On the IC of the chart we have Neptune in Pisces associated with captivity and places of confinement square Venus which signifies young women. In addition Venus is the ruler of the 12^th house once again associated with slavery, human rights issues, confinement etc. [2]

On Monday, May 6, the day the women were freed, the waning Crescent Moon [0ar44] on the IC was conjunct the star Scheat of Pegasus part of the 24th Arabic Moon Mansion.

Influences of the 24th Arabic Moon Mansion Al Fargh al Mukdim: Causes union, health of captives, and destroys buildings and prisons.[2]

But we must remember that all Moon phases must be referred back to the New Moon theme for meaning. The  New Moon of April 10, 2013  was conjunct the star Baten Kaitos of Cetus, and the stars forming the outstretched bound arms of Princess Andromeda.

Baten Kaitos is one of the most frequently found stars involved in shipwrecks and these people may at sometime find themselves left “high and dry”, broken on the rocks of life, yet this is an area of great breakthroughs and transformations. There are issues here of Andromeda’s themes of imprisonment vs liberty. [3] [4]

P.S.

I have shown here a map of  20 May 2012, solar eclipse in Gemini. It is square the meridian axis and, therefore,  significant for the place. It is now being revealed that the culprits were siblings and at least one of them was a school bus driver. Both these are under the rulership of Gemini. The eclipse is square the Mars-Neptune opposition – a combination that is associated with victims of violence. On May 6, 2013, the Wynn Key Return progressed IC conjoins the eclipse thereby  triggering it. In addition, the upcoming May 9 eclipse falls on the descendant of the 20 May 2012 eclipse chart providing another trigger.

The stars of the eclipse provide more astounding details. At 0 ge 21 we have Mirfak, alpha star of Perseus the “rescuer” of Andromeda. This area is conjunct the stars of Pleaides – also called the “weeping sisters”. Jupiter is conjunct Algol – Medusa, the violated woman.
