Chinese parents abandon disabled children



Jinan, China -- Along a winding Chinese mountain road dotted with inns and restaurants is Jinan Orphanage, a place of refuge and site for troubled parents to dump unwanted children. The government-run orphanage in eastern China opened its first baby hatch on June 1, International Children's Day, as a symbolic step to show the country's commitment to improving child welfare. However, it since proved so popular that authorities have had to introduce new rules to limit the number of babies and children being abandoned. In just 11 days, 106 children, all with disabilities or medical conditions, were dropped off at the Jinan facility, according to local state media. That is more than the 85 orphans the city accepted the entire previous year. CNN; June 30







Shown here is the Cancer Ingress chart for Jinan, China progressed to June 30, the date of the news.  Notice the asteroids Ceres[1]  and Vesta [2] on the MC as part of a skewed Grand Cross involving Jupiter [24cn33] and the newly discovered TNO Varuna [25cn39]


Ceres/Vesta: A detached attitude or emotional distancing in mother-child relationships; parental abandonment or rejection.

Both these are square the Jupiter/Varuna conjunction. Philip Sedgwick in his book “Soul of the Sky” describes Varuna in the following words:

This comes from the blending of Cancer (North node) and Aries (perihelion). Such a combination reflects the urge for self-nurturing at the most fundamental level. One must make personal care the utmost priority. Feeding the self on all levels of real world reality (food, drink, feeling, love) supports the spirit in self-realization to the extent that it may assert itself into the flow of the cosmic waters. Participation on the planet becomes an important task, but follows proper personal sustenance.

This reminds me of a conversation I heard in a bathroom in San Francisco years ago. One man said to another, “First you work on yourself, then you work on the world. When you get tired, you pull back and take care of yourself again. Then, you have more to give back to the planet again.”

From the delineations above we can see why the Chinese parents are feeling the need to abandon their troubled children.
