Chained Andromeda freed by Pegasus
A Chinese court on Friday (August 22) acquitted a
death-row inmate who spent eight years behind bars for double murder in a
high-profile case that observers say may be a rare exception in a court system
riddled with wrongful convictions.

"As far as we can tell, this is an isolated
case, but we hope this will help China move forward — even with a small step —
in building rule of law," Beijing-based legal scholar Xu Xin said.
"We should thank his lawyers and their unrelenting efforts for the
acquittal. The social media also have played a role, having put pressure on the
court to hear the case fairly." Yahoo News; August 22, 2014
To
understand this news, we will go back to the last Solar Eclipse, the chart for
which is shown here, drawn for Fuzhou , the
capital of Fujian
The
following extract from Nick Fiorenza [1] on the Solar eclipse of April 29, 2014
is relevant in our context. As the eclipse occurred in the 9th house
of law courts, the reference to the King and Queen would be to the judges who are
in a position to aid or condemn the accused. The sea monster Cetus refers to
the collective fear that led to the accusation of the victim. And finally the
freeing of Princess Andromeda in the story (not mentioned below) would be a
reference to what happened in the court on Friday.
Solar eclipses offer opportunity to redefine
concepts of self and the roles we play in the world, or how we articulate
ourselves in life. They are about shifting octaves in the nature of our
self-perception and self-expression, and addressing issues that keep us from
doing so. They can invite a new beginning, way of life, or new way of
participating in life.
The stars of the King and Queen often depict
individuals in positions who are able to aid, are affluent and have authority.
There are two primary expressions of the King and Queen. One is pompous,
arrogant and pretentious, with an air of denial to matters deemed to be beneath
them. The other is beneficent, generous, wise and compassionate, willing to
aid others in lesser positions or who need assistance. Which is dominant,
or both, depends upon one's level of life experience, emotional maturity and
spiritual awareness.
Cetus is the fear-instilling monster of collective
human consciousness. Many would like to blame the monster on every thing and
every one outside of self, a victim mentality perpetuating our human condition
and the entrapments we find ourselves in. However, the key phrase here is
“human consciousness.” This implies each of us is responsible for the
collective consciousness we find ourselves in—the reality of our personal lives
and that of our world we uphold by consensus.
Triangulum teaches us to see beyond the judgments
of fear-based dualistic mind and the dramatics it produces.
Our New Moon eclipse inspires us to recognize,
perhaps through a reflection of events, conditions or people in our lives, that
any issues we have with them are made manifest by our inner resonance and
subsequent attitudes we hold. It inspires us to relinquish those attitudes
that keep us segregated into a me-against-the-world mentality.
Adding to
the dynamics of the Solar Eclipse are two other factors.
The second
factor is the position of Mars [11li] which is part of the Grand Cross but also
quincunx the eclipse. (We will see shortly why the position of Mars is
important.) Here Mars is conjunct the stars of the Virgin and the Hydra so that
Diana Rosenberg states that here we have people who are self-righteous “holier-than-thou”
zealots who persecute those who, in their eyes, do not adhere to their ideas of
morality and high standards. There are, therefore, both oppressions and
struggles against them and transits to these stars bring about major changes in
laws, mores and ways of thinking.
Now all
that is left to do is to progress the eclipse chart to August 22, the date of
the news. We find the Grand Cross containing Mars-Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter straddling
the horizon axis. Relevant key phrases are:
Jupiter-Uranus: A
sudden fortunate turn of events.
Jupiter-Pluto: To
understand that the power of institutions (Pluto in Capricorn) must be
accompanied by temperance, empathy and compassion (Jupiter in Cancer).
In this
context please remember that Uranus [14ar] is conjunct the star Alpheratz, alpha
Andromeda [14ar] in the head of the chained woman. Andromeda’s head is also the
navel of Pegasus – the Flying Horse that lifts Andromeda from captivity (see
image).
