A spice commonly found in curries may boost the
brain's ability to heal itself, according to a report in the journal Stem Cell
Research and Therapy. The German study suggests a compound found in turmeric
could encourage the growth of nerve cells thought to be part of the brain's
repair kit. Scientists say this work, based in rats, may pave the way for
future drugs for strokes and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers from the Institute of Neuroscience
and Medicine in Julich ,
Germany ,
studied the effects of aromatic-turmerone - a compound found naturally in
turmeric. BBC; Sept 25. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29361351
The current New Moon [1li] of September 24 at Julich , Germany
is significant since it is placed on the Ascendant. It is semisquare Jupiter [14le] which is
conjunct the asteroid Aesculapia [14le] and trine Uranus [15ar].
In her
article entitled Jupiter/Uranus: Bright
Ideas and Breakthroughs, Kelly Surtees writes [1]:
Jupiter brings an expansive, open energy which
complements Uranus’ inventive tone. As a pair, they have, throughout history,
been linked to creative and scientific breakthroughs.
But here we
find Jupiter [14le] is conjunct the medical asteroid Aesculapia [14le]. And in Vedic astrology, Jupiter is the
planetary ruler of turmeric [2].
AESCULAPIA:
Contact with physicians and belief-systems about the health, symptoms and
medical conditions.
JUPITER: Good
news; turmeric
Finally,
Uranus [15ar] is conjunct the star lambda Cephei [16ar] in the King’s head. Diana
Rosenberg links this area to “depression and head ailments”.
A further
confirmation that the New Moon was highlighting matters connected with health
issues comes from the asteroid Hygiea
placed on the MC.
