Uranus-Pluto Grand Cross and discovery of Exoplanet Kepler-186f



Kepler-186f is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf Kepler-186, 500 light-years from the Earth. It is the first planet with a radius similar to Earth's to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star. NASA's Kepler spacecraft detected it using the transit method, along with four additional planets orbiting much closer to the star (all modestly larger than Earth). Analysis of three years of data was required to find its signal. The results were presented initially at a conference on 19 March 2014 and some details were reported in the media at the time.The full public announcement was on 17 April, 2014. http://1.usa.gov/QsOfBr


Shown here is the chart for the sidereal Capricorn Ingress for  NASA headquarters in Washington. Notice the Uranus-Pluto Grand Cross with Mars, Moon and Jupiter.





On the Ascendant are stars on the billowing sails of the great ship Argo  and the wings of the Virgin and the Raven so that Diana Rosenberg associates this area with explorations and discoveries giving the following examples.

This was Venus when Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 to discover the New World; the Sun in 1519 when an expedition led by Portugal’s Ferdinand Magellan left Spain to circumnavigate the world.

In addition, owing to the presence of the sail, sky and wings in this area there are air and space events too.

This was Sun and Jupiter  in 1957 when the USSR launched the Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite and the Moon at the moment the first human set foot on it in 1969. Even those who do not fly are drawn to the sky and light: there are chart elements here of the 17th century experimental physicist Robert Hooke, the first to build a reflecting Gregorian telescope; 17th – 18th century mathematician astronomer Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, builder of yantras, massive stone instruments for analysing the heavens; 19th century industrialist/ manufacturer  of optical instruments Carl Zeiss etc.


 With Mars (now retrograde) the  Grand Cross in the Capricorn Ingress is moving to an exactness on April 21. Richard Tarnas links Uranus-Pluto aspects to technological and scientific breakthroughs so that we have one right now as the Grand Cross tightens and the progression of the Ingress chart realigns the Grand Cross with the meridian axis on April 17, the date of the NASA announcement.





A final point to note is the position of Jupiter [14cn] in the Grand Cross. It is  in tropical Cancer (home…earth)  conjunct  stars in the constellation of the Twins (an earth Twin!)
