For centuries the Catholic Church has
declared homosexuality to be a sin. But as he concluded his trip to Brazil this
week, the Pope answered a question about homosexuality by saying it's not his
place to judge gay people. While that inspired some optimism among church
reformers, Pope Francis made it clear he is not an advocate of change on that
other sensitive gender issue, the ordination of women. 30 July
Alfredo Moser's invention is lighting
up the world. In 2002, the Brazilian mechanic had a light-bulb moment and came
up with a way of illuminating his house during the day without electricity -
using nothing more than plastic bottles filled with water and a tiny bit of
bleach. In the last two years his innovation has spread throughout the world.
It is expected to be in one million homes by early next year. So how does it
work? Simple refraction of sunlight, explains Moser, as he fills an
empty two-litre plastic bottle. 12 Aug BBC
Two
apparently unrelated news items that we
will see are connected by a meaningful
thread. Readers may first like to acquaint themselves with the Transneptunian
planet (TNP) Poseidon from the two references below.
POSEIDON:
Uplifting people/ideas; psychic vibrations; persuasion; intellectual or
spiritual influences; ideological or
moral stances; spread of ideas; advertising; interest in business
practices/ethics; inspiration; religion;

media; windows, mirrors, refraction
of light.

For the
first news we look at the 25 April 2013 lunar eclipse at the Vatican . Note
that the Sun is conjunct Venus/Mars opposite Moon/Saturn. From Ebertin we have
Venus/Mars – Saturn :
an abnormal or pathological sex expression
Homosexuality
would come under Ebertin’s description. Saturn is conjunct Poseidon which forms
aspects to the Pluto-Uranus square. Since Ebertin uses the phrase “collapse of
an old order” for Pluto-Uranus, it is not too difficult to see what the cosmos
is pointing towards. Martha Wescott provides the following key sentences.
Poseidon/Saturn
: Conservatism and traditional values. Themes
revolving around MORAL JUDGMENTS.
Poseidon/Pluto-Uranus
The POWER
OF NEW IDEAS, the ability to persuade with one's vision, the notion that IDEAS can be transformative and
cathartic, the potential for one to
"change their mind" UTTERLY and about really esoteric and psychological subjects
Progressing
the chart to 30 July we find the meridian highlights Poseidon-Pluto-Uranus. So
we begin to see what his happening with Poseidon/Pluto-Uranus. It is almost as
though new light is entering the dark
recesses of the collective mind so that it is transformed.
For the
next news item, where the same combination of Poseidon/Pluto-Uranus is
highlighted we will see a literal manifestation of the same idea. Shown below
is the chart of the 9 May solar eclipse and its progression for Uberaba , in southern Brazil where Moser lives. Notice
the combination of Poseidon-Pluto-Uranus is significant in both the charts
since aspecting angles. So here we have a literal example of new light in a
hitherto dark area!
Finally, we
find that Uranus [10ar] is conjunct the “Garnet
Star” [9ar52] in King Cepheus’ head. About
this area Diana Rosenberg writes: “This is a place of fires! Fires of Illumination..here brilliant King Cepheus and high flying Pegasus inspire
extraordinary achievements that carry mankind into new knowledge and
realizations. With Andromeda’s chained wrist here we can see that this implies
freedom from ignorance and bondage of some kind.
