As in
previous posts we will see here how this news can be understood in terms of metaphors or
symbols drawn from the rich mythology of the stars. We begin by looking at the
chart of the Full Moon eclipse of
October 19, 2013 at Calcutta . The eclipse is on the horizon axis with Jupiter on the MC so that it is important
for the place. The Moon [25ar45] is conjunct 22 Andromedae [24ar37] a star in
the chained right hand of the woman – a perfect symbol for slavery or being in
very difficult circumstances. The Sun, on the other hand, is conjunct Foreamen, eta Carinae [22li21] , Arcturus,
[24li24] alpha Bootes often shown as a protector or a herdsman and Spica, alpha
Virgo [24li] the innocent Virgin he protects. All these are very bright stars
about which Diana Rosenberg writes “there is no area of the zodiac with a more
powerful potential to help humankind in its eternal struggle toward the light.”
Jupiter
[19cn54] is on the MC conjunct lambda Geminorum [19ge] of Pollux and iota
Geminorum [19] where the Twins are joined. The Twins metaphorically represent
siblings, neighbours or two people joined together with a common fate as the
two girls in the story. Pollux, the immortal son of Zeus has an inner sense of superiority and self-worth, a strong need to excel
and be in the spotlight. About the Twins, Diana Rosenberg writes:
Although they were twins, Pollux was the son of
Zeus, king of the gods, but Castor had a human father; this dichotomy plays
itself out here, for under these stars royal arrogance is at odds with
insignificant origins and a humble lot in life. Some here are born into
privilege, but many who are not nonetheless display the guts of the daring
Twins, for they will fight their way up from a downtrodden position and will
help others to do so demonstrating that position in life depends upon more than
inheritance and bloodlines. [1]
Pegasus, in general, is of strength and support,
that which lifts humanity above the entrapping forces and scenarios common to a
less than socially mature world. Enif, Baham and Homam are a group of
fortuitous stars that lie over the Aquarian waterbearer, forming the head of
Pegasus.
So why has
the news story broken now? Well if we progress the eclipse chart to July 9, the
progressed Ascendant reaches the conjunction to Jupiter triggering the
eclipse-Jupiter T-square to the eclipse axis. The second trigger comes from the
Full Moon of July 12 which has the Sun [20cn] conjunct Jupiter [19cn54] in the
eclipse chart.
