In
Jewish society, there are estimated to be thousands of women in broken
marriages where their husband refuses to give them the necessary religious
document enabling a divorce. In some cases, the wife can remain trapped in the
situation for years, unable to remarry or move on. In Hebrew such a woman is
known as an aguna, or a "chained" woman. BBC Jerusalem, March 13.
New Moon
and Full Moon mundane charts drawn for a
particular place can be very illuminating. Planets and stars highlighted by
being placed on the angles provide insight to events taking place there. Shown
here is the upcoming Full Moon chart at Jersusalem. A simple technique using
asteroids for understanding any chart was pioneered by Martha Wescott. She
recommends tabulating all entities (asteroids, planets, TNPs etc) on the angles
of the chart within +/- 10 degrees. After that think of these entities as
talking to each and put down sentences derived from their keywords and phrases.
For the Full Moon the table below lists
entities on the angles.

JUNO/HERA : Asteroids of partnerships and marriage .
Potential Juno/Hera issues can manifest as power struggles, control issues,
jealousy and possessiveness, stalemates and standoffs, and other types of
inequality issues.
HYBRIS: Expectation, glass-ceilings, limits-what
one future-paces as their fate, their slot in life-and what can be expected of
others; what others, parents, you see as your fate; conditioned limitations.
ORPHEUS: Sense of mourning and loss; grief (for
what you don't have-what has gone out of your life what might have been or what
was)
Juno/Orpheus
Sorrow or loss because a relationship breaks up.
Hybris/Juno
Folks may
feel that partners have "hemmed them in"--have "imposed
conditions" or created a situation
that restricts them...and is unfair.
Juno/Uranus
People in a relationship need to remember
that--regardless of their similarities,
they still have important differences...and each has to be free to "compose and direct their own
concert!"
Pluto/Uranus
With Uranus in Aries (freedom of the individual)
square Pluto in Capricorn (powerful institutions) we have individuals
struggling against these powerful institutions including against the rules of marriage (Juno).
While the
micro picture provided by the asteroids is startling what is more interesting is the mythologly
linked to the stars conjunct Uranus [11ar32]. These are Mu Cephei, [9ar53] in King’s head;
51 Piscium [10ar21] in cord of West Fish; Dheneb of Cetus [12ar06]; 14
Andromedae [12ar08] in the chained woman’s right wrist. The King represents laws
applied fairly arbitrarily at an early stage of human evolution since at this
stage Cetus the sea monster representing the dangers of the human collective
unconscious is close by. The cord tying the Fishes links to the past which in a
sense chains Andromeda.
Ebertin’s
keyphrase for Pluto-Uranus “the collapse
of an old order and the beginning of a new one” sums up the need to revise
those marriage laws and free the chained woman.
Interestingly, I first learned about these marriage laws in a January episode of This American Life which I found chilling and disheartening. The collapse of such 'old orders' cannot arrive soon enough in my opinion. Perhaps you or your readers may find it illuminating to listen to this story.
