“The Great Opener” –
Azure Dragon of Spring
MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) - With her
escape-artist antics now caught on video, a horse in Michigan is being dubbed
the "Houdini Horse" thanks to her knack for opening stall doors. The
9-year-old horse named Mariska somehow learned to open latches at Misty Meadow
Farms, Larkin Township
near Midland
Mundane
astrology recognizes that the strongest effect of an eclipse is felt in those
places where it is angular i.e. rising, setting or culminating. The total solar
eclipse of 13th November 2012
was exactly setting at Larkin Township ,
Michigan
“Monoceros, the Unicorn, is of a
species not common to earth--one magical and mystical. Alpha Monoceros brings
fortuitous situations, experiences or involvements quite out of the ordinary,
which often appear unexpectedly. The spiral of the Unicorn's horn embodies its
magic”.[1]
If we
progress the eclipse chart to Feb. 19, 2013, the date of the news item, we can
see Mercury (0sa09) on the IC (2sa51) both square Neptune
(0pi22). While we connect tropical Sagittarius with horses a startling revelation
unfolds when we look at ancient Chinese
asterisms for this area:
“The head and heart of our Scorpion
was Fang, The House (of the Sun), its rising announcing the Spring Equinox.
This asterism was the stomach of the Great Azure Dragon of Spring made up of beta, delta, pi and rho Scorpii (3sg23, 2sa47,
3sa07, 3sg19); the ecliptic passed close to beta (Graffias), so it was also
called “The Great Opener”
– the opened door to let in the spring. There were many other names for this
asterism: “Celestial Stable” – because livestock could
be let out into the fields after being locked up during the winter; T’ien
Ma, Celestial Horses etc”.[2]
So perhaps
Mariska was reminding us humans how unconnected we are to nature’s cycles. It
was spring and she and her mates needed to be let out!
