Apis – the Bee
A new study covering 17 EU countries says that far
more honeybees are dying in the UK
and other parts of northern Europe than in
Mediterranean countries. The European Commission says it is Europe 's
most comprehensive study so far of bee colony deaths. Winter mortality was
especially high for bees in Belgium
(33.6%) and the UK France
The most
significant aspect in the Capricorn Ingress chart is Jupiter (in Cancer)
opposite Pluto (in Capricorn). Jupiter on the Ascendant is at the reaction point of
the significant Uranus-Pluto-Mars T-square.
Cancer
traditionally rules mothers and the nurturing feminine energy while Capricorn
tends to apply to father figures and worldly, patriarchal structures. Pluto in
Capricorn continues to ask us to remove whatever is faulty, decrepit or in need
of major transformation at the base level of our infrastructures. Jupiter in Cancer increases our desire to look after
the earth and the environment in general. It brings abundance in nurturing, feeling and connecting
us to our roots. With the two planets in opposition we are being given an
opportunity to recognize how we may have neglected the earth mother and heal our current situation.
So how do
honey bees come in here? Notice that Jupiter forms a trine to Saturn. Saturn
[19sc22] is conjunct Zubeneschamali
[19sc32] of the Scales. Also influencing are stars beta Serpentis [20sc08] of
the healing serpent , T Corona Borealis [20sc16] that Manilius terms a “garden gleaming with jewel like flowers”
and beta Musca [20sc22] – a constellation originally called Apis, the Honey
Bee!
Nick
Fiorenza describes the function of the two Zubens as follows:
Zubenelgenubi / Zubeneschamali:
Zubenelgenubi, the southern claw of the Scorpion is the karmic seat for
humanity; also Saturn's exalted location; the life scenario we have
established, our established patterns. Zubeneschamali is the dharmic
seat, reveals our need to resolve, to balance our past experience.
Success in doing so results in equipoise and harmony from which solution is
realized.
It should
be fairly obvious what the preceding paragraphs are saying in the context of
the news item. Progressing the Capricorn Ingress chart by the solar quotidian
method aligns the slightly skewed Grand Cross with the angles once again on
April 7, the date of the BBC news item.
P.S. The
First Quarter Moon of April 7, 2014 fell at 17cn conjunct Jupiter and Ascendant
of the Ingress Chart (above) thereby activating the Grand Cross.
