Eclipse highlights need for wildlife protection

A renewable power company has agreed to pay $1 million over the deaths of more than a dozen protected eagles and other birds at its wind farms. The settlement with Duke Energy is the first time the Obama administration, which has been a strong backer of wind power, has penalized a wind energy company for killing eagles. According to the Justice Department’s settlement, announced on Friday, 14 golden eagles and 149 other protected birds were killed at two Duke Energy wind farms in Wyoming within the last three years. Golden eagles are not endangered species, but are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. http://bit.ly/1enzXte

Eclipses tend to bring about endings and new beginnings. They offer a time to resynchronize our selves with the ever-changing cosmic currents supporting our evolutionary progression in consciousness. In this post we will see an example of just that. The chart for the Lunar Eclipse of 18 October at Cheyenne, Wyoming is shown above.

The stars Spica of the Virgin and Arcturus, the Herdsman conjoin the Sun in their wise, protective, loving care of the Earth. Diana Rosenberg adds, “there may be great concern for animals”.  The Herdsman’s staff in an instrument of correction and its combination with the Virgin’s concern for ethics there is usually indignation and outrage over injustice here [1]

In the eclipse, the current Uranus-Pluto square occupies the Ascendant and MC and is therefore made significant. Uranus [9ar55] is conjunct Erakis, [9ar53] the Garnet Star on  King Cepheus’ crown. Erakis exemplifies the role or crown of the King—to govern without being lost in the drama of that which he may need to govern. [2] Meanwhile, Pluto [9cp12] is conjunct Al Athar [10cp24], in the talons of the Falling Eagle.[3]

Since Pluto is in Capricorn, this square has the potential to bring about changes that hold institutions accountable.

Progressing the eclipse chart to Friday, 22 November brings the  Ascendent to the square to the Mars-Neptune opposition. Here Mars [2vi] is conjunct Megrez, delta Ursa Major. Mother Bears are fiercely protective of their cubs so that this constellation is known to produce great concern for animals.
