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].
