A culture of harmlessness brings whales and surfers together



Huge whales meet surfers

Australian surfers are treated to an amazing display by visiting whales at Bondi Beach. 3:08 pm, August 16, 2013. http://bit.ly/19rgfKx; http://bit.ly/16TTUov






The New Moon [14le35] is conjunct Dubhe, alpha Ursa Major.  

The astrological influences of the constellation given by Manilius:

"Now when, after completing a revolution round the pole, the Bear (Ursa Major) with muzzle foremost replaces her unceasing steps in her former tracks, never immersed in Ocean but ever turning in a circle, to those born at such a time wild creatures will show no hostile face, and in their dealings with animals these men will find them submissive to their rule. Such a one will be able to control huge lions with a gesture, to fondle wolves, and to play with captive panthers; so far from shunning the powerful bears that are the kin of the constellation, he will train them to human accomplishments and feats foreign to their nature; he will seat himself on the elephant's back and with a goad will direct the movements of a beast which disgraces its massive weight by yielding to tiny jabs; he will dispel the fury of the tiger, training it to become a peaceful animal, whilst all the other beasts which molest the earth with their savageness he will join in friendship to himself; keen-scented whelps he will train..." [here the translator notes that eight pages have been lost] [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, book 5, p.357, 359]



It is quite clear from Manilius that the constellation of Ursa Major gives one the capacity to gain the trust of wild animals and  play with them.  If we combine this with the fact that  Neptune is on the descendant conjunct the star Fomalhaut in the constellation of the Southern Fish we can begin to see reason why whales met the surfers.





Casting two additional charts (a) that of the first quarter moon on 14 Aug (b) the event chart we see that in both cases Pluto [9cp19] part of the current Jupiter-Pluto-Uranus T-square  is significantly aspecting the MC. 









The Sabian symbol for Pluto is very revealing in this context.

The man who radiates perfect harmlessness can call the wildest creatures to him and can establish  with them a partnership based on mutual respect and understanding. Every living entity plays a role in the world’s ritual of existence; beyond these specific roles, which too often separate one entity from another, the communion of love and compassion can bring together the most disparate lives. The power of a culture of harmlessness and compassion generates TRUST everywhere.
