Man tries to feed self to tigers at Subra Full Moon

Entering the tiger enclosure at the Chengdu Zoo in China’s southwest Sichuan province, a man made vigorous, but unsuccessful, attempts to entice the animals to eat him. The incident took place on  February 16, 2014. “I asked them to bite me and let them eat my meat, and so I did not fight back,” 27-year old Yang Jinhai told the Chengdu Business Daily. Yang, who according to his brother suffers from mental health issues, climbed a tree to breach the enclosure [1].

Shown here is the chart for the Full Moon of Feb. 15  at Chengdu. Notice that it prominently placed on the horizon axis along with “Mercury-Neptune  square Saturn”. This is a combination that is associated with mental depression and by association with a depressed person [2]. Also on the Ascendant is the star Beta (β) Aquarius, Sadalsuud [3] which roughly translated means “the lucky one”. While on the Descendant conjunct the Moon is  Subra, omicron Leonis in the Lion’s forepaw [4]. Isn’t strange that the elements when put together tell us the whole story!

P.S.

It is interesting to remember that the word "Lunatic" is derived from “lunar” – the Moon and is an informal term referring to people who are considered mentally ill, dangerous, foolish or unpredictable. Ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and Pliny the Elder held that the Full Moon increased insanity in susceptible individuals with bipolar disorder and this case appears to suggest that they were right!
