Schoolboys unearth 4,000-year-old gold hair tress


Cassiopeia



A group of schoolboys has unearthed a rare 4,000-year-old ornament during a dig in Northumberland. The children, from Alston Primary School in Cumbria, were taking part in an excavation at Kirkhaugh when they saw a glint of gold in the soil. The object, which was found in a burial mound, is believed to be a decorated hair tress from about 2,300 BC. BBC; August 4 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-28645612







The chart for the current New Moon [3le52] is shown here. Notice the Grand Cross on the meridian with Venus on the fourth house cusp (IC). This house rules hidden treasures [1] and with Venus (ornaments) and TNP Hades (ancient) here we can see why an ancient “ornament” or “object of beauty” has been discovered. The New Moon is  conjunct Jupiter[2le20] all in tropical Leo on the cusp of the mundane 5th house [2] that is linked to children. Leo is a sign ruled by the Sun for which the metal is gold. The New Moon is also square the Ascendant [3ta13] which is conjunct the star xi Cassiopeiae [3ta41] in the constellation Cassiopeia (see image above) about which Manilius writes:

"From Cassiope come the enhancement of beauty and devices for adorning the body: from gold has been sought the means to give grace to the appearance; precious stones have been spread over head, neck, and hands and golden chains have shone on snow-white feet. What products would a grand lady like Cassiope prefer her sons to handle rather than those she could turn to her own employments? And that material for such employment should not be lacking, she bids men look for gold beneath the ground, uproot all which nature stealthily conceals, and turn earth upside down in search of gain." [Manilius, Astronomica, book 5, 1st century AD, p.343.]

Finally, notice that Neptune [7pi]  is in hard aspect to Mercury on the IC with Venus. Neptune is conjunct the star Gamma (γ) Aquarius, Sadalachbia [6pi55].  This was "The Lucky Star of Hidden Things". In horary it indicates the ability to discover that which is hidden or lost [3]. In China,  Sadalachbia was part of the Chinese asterism Fan-Mou associated with burial places and funeral mounds [4].
