Mysterious Roman god baffles experts

Excavations carried out by Münster archaeologists at the sacred site of Jupiter Dolichenus close to the ancient city of Doliche in Southeast Turkey, have revealed a unique Roman relief depicting an unknown god.  The one and a half metre (five feet) high basalt stele was re-used as a buttress in the wall of a Christian monastery. During the 2014 field season, the 60-strong excavation team uncovered finds from all periods of the 2,000-year history of the cult site, such as the thick enclosing wall of the first Iron Age sanctuary and the foundations of the main Roman temple of the god Jupiter Dolichenus, who became one of the most important deities of the Roman Empire in the 2nd century A.D. His sanctuary is situated close to the town of Gaziantep on the 1,200 metres (3,900 feet) high mountain of Dülük Baba Tepesi. The archaeologists found the stele in the remains of the Christian monastery, which was erected on the site of the ancient sanctuary in the Early Middle Ages.

Blömer described the depiction: “The basalt stele shows a deity growing from a chalice of leaves. Its long stem rises from a cone that is ornamented with astral symbols. From the sides of the cone grow a long horn and a tree, which the deity clasps with his right hand. The pictorial elements suggest that a fertility god is depicted.” Past Horizons; Nov. 11; http://bit.ly/1z2R6BE

Psychological astrology, or astropsychology, is the result of the cross-fertilisation of astrology with depth psychology.  Swedish psychologist Jung’s theory of synchronicity states that "whatever is born or done at this particular moment of time, has the quality of this moment of time". Accordingly, we find  correlations between  an event and the position of heavenly bodies at the time of an event.

To understand the discovery of this mysterious Roman deity let us go back to the chart for the April 15, 2014 lunar eclipse at Gaziantep, Turkey. Notice that the eclipse is anchored to the powerful Grand Cross  on the angles with Jupiter prominently placed on the Ascendant. We are told that this enigmatic god was discovered during excavations carried out  at the sacred site of Jupiter Dolichenus. The eclipse Moon is placed in the 4^th house that rules “hidden treasure and the treasures of the earth” [1]. 

The Moon [25li] is also conjunct the star Spica,  [24li]. Alpha (α) Virgo, Spica, is a binary, brilliant flushed white star marking the Ear of Wheat shown in the Virgin's left hand. Roman astrologers linked the Virgin to Ceres. Ceres was a goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility and motherly relationships. She is the only one of Rome's many agricultural deities to be listed among the Di Consentes, Rome's equivalent to the Twelve Olympians of Greek mythology.

Progressing the eclipse chart to November 11, the date of the news, aligns the radix (not progressed) Moon and Sun exactly with the meridian axis triggering an event where an excavation has uncovered another fertility deity!
