A 12-year-old girl has died after a wall at an Edinburgh school
collapsed and landed on top of her. The Scottish Ambulance Service sent a
special operation response team to Liberton
High School after the
alarm was raised shortly before 10:00. Police Scotland said the pupil received
treatment from ambulance staff, but was pronounced dead at the scene. Her next
of kin have been informed. BBC April 1, 2014.
The chart
for the current New Moon at Edinburgh
is shown above. With the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto T-square placed on the angles,
the New Moon is very significant for the place.
The eastern
edge of the Great Square of Pegasus was Pi,
The House of the Wall or simply The Wall. The New Moon [9ar59] is
conjunct Algenib, gamma Pegasi (9ar20) was part of the asterism Toung-Pi
or the The East Wall.
Conjunct
Jupiter [11cn20] is the asteroid Child
[12cn10] on the MC [14cn46] along with the stars of Auriga. The constellation
Auriga is often pictured as a charioteer with chariot reins and/or a whip in
his right hand and a female goat (the star Capella) and two kids
(the Haedi) in his left arm. Robson mentions that among other things this refers
to teachers who are tasked with the upbringing of young people. By association
this would also refer to schools and
children. On the IC with Pluto is the asteroid Orpheus
[16cp] which Martha Wescott associates with deaths while Ebertin links Uranus-Pluto combinations with collapses and endings. So in the star map for the New Moon we have all the ingredients
that went into the news. But what if any was the deeper meaning of all this. Perhaps
this is referring to the need to end an old way of teaching or nurturing!
The Sabian
symbol for the New Moon also gives us a similar hint.
[10 Aries] “A Teacher gives new symbolic forms to
traditional images”.
Note:
In a previous I explained the essential
evolutionary process unfolding in the first ten degrees of Aries thus:
The earliest sources of the myth combining Cepheus,
Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Perseus, Cetus and Pegasus are not known. A king
symbolically represents leadership and responsibility to bring order to a
chaotic mass here represented by the sea and the sea monster Cetus. Life and
consciousness are struggling to emerge from the dangerous primal soup – the
sea. [ Sabian 1 degree shows a woman emerging from the sea]. Such an emergence
is fraught with danger and at first susceptible to failure. Here King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia represent early attempts
by the ego or the tribal laws to force an arbitrary order on this chaotic
matrix. Symbolically in the story this
is shown by the imprisonment of the next
generation – Princess Andromeda – and
the possibility of her being devoured by the sea monster Cetus. This
drama is played out primarily but not exclusively in the first ten degrees of
tropical Aries. The Sabian symbol for 10 Aries is “A Teacher gives new symbolic
forms to traditional images”. In this phase we find the capacity to restate the
problem inherent in the first phase, i.e. the problem of focusing one’s
energies on emotional drives and cultural values which exclude more than they
include. As a result there now arises in consciousness a desire to reformulate
at a new level much that had been taken for granted because it indeed
originally had been an evolutionary necessity. This is where Perseus and
Pegasus are getting ready to rescue Andromeda (the trapped child!) from the jaws of Cetus.
