The locals alleged Sourav had to pay with his life
for protesting against illegal liquor dens and gambling rackets operating in
the area. "He used to protest against these rackets. So he was killed so
cruelly by criminals," said a sobbing woman resident of Bamangachi. http://bit.ly/1odvOdR
The chart
for the First Quarter Moon phase at Calcutta ,
India is shown
here. Notice that the luminaries tie in with the Uranus-Pluto square forming a
Grand Cross on the meridian axis implying that it was going to be significant
for the place. The Sun [13cn] is conjunct Sirius, alpha Canis Major and Canopus , alpha Argo Navis
- the two brightest stars in the sky. The “flaming heat” of the Dog star was
well known to ancient astrologers like Manilius who wrote:
The brilliant constellation of the Dog: it barks
forth flame, raves with its fire and
doubles the burning heat of the Sun….Words run ahead of the speakers: the mind
is too fast for the mouth .Their hearts start throbbing at the slightest cause,
and when speech comes their tongues rave and bark, and constant gnashing
imparts the sound of teeth to their utterance. [1]
Eric Morse
relates Canopus
to the quest for spiritual perfection and purification of body, soul and
spirit. A sacred star to many cultures, it was, to the Persians a symbol of
wisdom.
Diana
Rosenberg combines the influence of Sirius and Canopus to give us the following
interpretation:
Seekers of fundamental principles to live by,
bedrock convictions that will stand all the tests of their lives, some become
fierce defenders of liberty and individual human rights. Enraged by injustice,
many here burn with an inner flame that, if not mastered and channelled can
consume them.
On the MC
[12li] is the Moon [13li] and Mars
[20li]. Here we have Vindemiatrix, epsilon Virginis [10li], Gienah, gamma Corvi
of the Raven[11li]; omicron Hydrae of
the Water-Snake [11li] and HD103581 in Crater, the Cup [10li] . Here the Virgin
with high moral standards is forever at loggerheads with the Raven and the
Hydra – symbols of evil.
Crater, the Cup[2], is often considered a part of
the threefold constellation; Hydra, Corvus and Crater. It relates to the myth
[Ovid's Fasti, 2.243-66] that Apollo sent a Raven (Corvus) to fetch water in
the god's cup (Crater). In the image above, we can see the Virgin, the Raven,
the Hydra and the Cup.
"Manilius described Crater as 'gratus Iaccho
Crater' (Iaccho is Roman Bacchus, who is identified with Greek Dionysus and may
be Orion), so using the mystic, poetical name often applied to Bacchus"
(Allen, Star Names):
"The Bacchic feast of intoxication was,
however sensual in later performance, a token of the legitimate and blessed
ecstasy of the soul upon partaking of the heavenly wine. The vine and the
mixing bowl were constellated as celestial symbols, the latter as the cluster
called the Crater (Latin: bowl) or the Goblet, the sacramental cup or grail.
The juice of the grape was the blood of Horus or Osiris, in the Egyptian
Eucharist" [The Lost Light, Alvin Boyd Kuhn].
How strange
that the mythology of the stars describes almost every element of the news
story including a reference to the wine. So how does the Uranus-Pluto square
fit in here? Uranus in Aries can mean standing up for individual freedom through
the protection of personal rights against the draconian power of a collective
that no longer considers the needs of individuals – the dark side of Pluto in
Capricorn.
