Boy finds 10,000-year-old arrowhead on NJ beach

A boy playing on a New Jersey beach has unearthed a 10,000-year-old arrowhead possibly used by ancient Native Americans to spear fish or hunt mastodon. Ten-year-old Noah Cordle and his family were vacationing on the Long Beach Island last week when he found it at the edge of the surf in the community of Beach Haven. AP; Aug. 24

Long after eclipses are over and gone, they continue to affect events in our lives. This is especially true in places where eclipses or major configurations accompanying them aspect the angles. Shown here is the chart for the last solar eclipse of April 29, 2014 at Beach Haven, New Jersey. Notice that the eclipse [9ta]  is sharply square the horizon axis and conjunct the star Azha, eta Eridanus [9ta]. Eridanus was an ancient celestial river. As a symbol, a river relates to the creative power of nature and time and everything transitory: the flux of the world and the irreversible passage of time.  Unlike earthly rivers, Eridanus is depicted flowing upstream symbolizing a return to the past. The discovery  of an ancient artifact is, therefore, quite appropriate under stars of Eridanus.

The eclipse is also conjunct Mercury [12ta] and trine Pluto [13cp] which is conjunct the star Nunki [12cp]. Sigma (σ) Sagittarius, Nunki, is a star on the vane of the arrow in the archer's hand (see image)!

Progressing the chart to August 24, brings Pluto along with the Grand Cross to the horizon axis. The Ascendant [11cn] is conjunct the star theta Geminorum [11cn] in Castor’s left hand holding bow and arrows!

As always, planets and asteroids fill in the details. The asteroid Child [20cn] along with Jupiter [14cn] occupies the Ascendant. The TNPs Hades (ancient past) and Zeus (weapon) are part of the Grand Cross along with Jupiter/Uranus – a combination that stands for a sudden positive turn of events like an unexpected discovery as in this case.

It may be mentioned in passing that such surprising details in star maps as shown in this and many other examples come to us from  the second century BCE astronomer/astrologer Hipparachus, considered the greatest ancient authority on constellation figures so that Roman astrologer Manilius writing two centuries later carried forward this idea:

“You must not divert your attention from the smallest detail;

nothing exists without reason or has been uselessly created”
