Stars signal the need to end bull fights in Spain

Madrid (CNN) -- Chalk one up for the first two bulls at Spain's top annual bullfighting festival. Between them, they gored or bashed three bullfighters, putting them out of action, and forcing authorities to suspend a bullfight at the San Isidro Festival in Madrid for the first time in 35 years, said a spokesman for Las Ventas bullring, who by custom is not identified. In front of a sold-out crowd of 24,000 at the historic bullring on Tuesday (May 20) -- and a national television audience -- the first bull, weighing just over half a ton (532 kilograms) gored the first bullfighter, David Mora, in the left leg. He had to leave to get medical treatment. But the tradition says the bull must die, so in stepped the second bullfighter, Antonio Nazare, who finished him off.

 A fifth exact Uranus-Pluto square, on April 22, 2014, at 13°34’ of Aries and Capricorn, was part of the  13° cardinal grand cross that included Mars in Libra and Jupiter in Cancer. Uranus-Pluto is about the need to end an old order. As Mars stationed direct on May 20, it signalled the need to take constructive action to do so.

At Madrid, the Full Moon of May 14 fell very significantly on the horizon axis. Since it formed a hard aspect to Mars in the Grand Cross, it focussed the energy of the Grand Cross at that place.

The Full Moon stars were Agena, beta Centauri, Unukalhai, alpha Serpentis, alpha Lupus and sigma Herculis. The Sun in turn was conjunct the stars, 51 Tauri of the Bull and Capulus, a nebula in Perseus’ sword hilt linked to “defective vision” – a reference to lack of spiritual discrimination.

Heracles is best known as the strongest of all mortals. Offsetting his strength was a noticeable lack of intelligence or wisdom. It would be easy to view Heracles as a muscle bound buffoon. Indeed, many of the comic Greek playwrights used him this way. Even among serious critics he was often seen as  primitive, brutal and violent [1].

The Centaur is often depicted as sacrificing the wild beast Lupus on the Altar. To sacrifice   means to give up a primal and automatic behavioral way of life, that which at one time may even have been held quite  dear, as for example, the killing of a bull (wild beast) by the bull fighters (Hercules).
