A former pub landlord from West
Yorkshire has become the first person in the UK Leeds General Infirmary. It is still very
early to assess how much control of the hand will be gained - so far he can
wiggle his fingers, but has no sense of touch.
In
medicine, a prosthesis, prosthetic, or prosthetic limb (from Ancient Greek
prósthesis, "addition, application, attachment") is an artificial
device extension that replaces a missing body part. It is part of the field of
biomechatronics, the science of using mechanical devices with human muscle,
skeleton, and nervous systems to assist or enhance motor control lost by
trauma, disease, or defect.
To
understand this technological
breakthrough in medicine we begin by looking at the 28th November
lunar eclipse in Gemini. In astrology, “Gemini rules hands and arms”[1] so that one can expect that this eclipse
could have something to do with this ‘miracle’. From the chart for the eclipse
we notice that it forms a Yod with one leg Mars-Pluto on the MC. The second leg
with Venus [8sc07] is opposite the
star Kaffeljidhma, gamma Cetus [9ta34] on the Ascendant which has been associated with a ‘hand’!
Kaffeljidhma, Al Kaff al Jidhmah or
Al-Kaff al-Jadhma' , "The cut-short hand", is the Arabs' name for the
whole group marking the Whale's head, but in modern lists is exclusively
applied to this star. Those in the head are; alpha (Menkar), gamma (Kaffaljidhma),
delta, lambda, mu, xi ¹and xi2, were Al Kaff al Jidhmah, "the Part of a
Hand". Anne Wright
A Yod is a
special configuration in which the apex planet forms a lower quincunx and an
upper quincunx aspect to two other planets. A lower quincunx is linked to the
sixth house and, therefore, to health issues while the upper quincunx is
associated with the eighth house and death/regeneration issues so that it is
not difficult to see that a Yod could be connected with an artificial
transplant of an organ.
When we progress this chart to the date of the
successful surgery we find that Mars-Pluto is on the descendant – a sure sign
that the eclipse has been triggered. Medical astrology has long recognized
Mars-Pluto to be associated with artificial limbs. [2] [3]
The MARS/PLUTO midpoint often can be
found in connection with the replacement of natural organs or functions by
artificial substitutes, such as arms, legs, joints, dentures etc.[2]
Finally,
the Sabian symbol for Venus (8sc07) is ‘A
Dentist at work’. This symbol brings out the need to display
inventiveness. It shows that society may have to find ways to skilfully repair
the damage caused by civilization.
