Symbolic meaning behind removal of US dams

This spring, for the first time in more than two centuries, American shad, striped bass, and river herring may spawn in White Clay Creek, a tributary of the Delaware River in northern Delaware. Early one morning last month, a five-person crew waded into the frigid creek and pulled down most of a timber-and-stone dam that had blocked the river's flow since the early years of the Revolutionary War.

The White Clay Creek dam was the first ever removed in the state of Delaware, but it was far from the only one removed in the United States last year. On Tuesday, the conservation group American Rivers announced that 72 dams were torn down or blown up in 2014, restoring some 730 miles of waterways from California to Pennsylvania. http://bit.ly/1ErSXWC

To the magus, there exists no accidental happening…everything is established solidly by that law which the wise man discerns in happenings that appear accidental to the profane. The curve observed in the flight of birds, the barking of a dog, the shape of a cloud, are occult manifestations of that omnipresent, coordinator, the source of unity and harmony.

This quote from Karl Seligmann lays the basis for a symbolic understanding of events. To delve deeper into the metaphorical meaning of this news we start with the chart for the First Quarter Moon phase drawn for Washington,DC. As we have seen in the past, when stars that form the backdrop to the Moon resonate with those on the angles, events are likely to have a pronounced signature. Here the Moon and the descendant are conjunct stars in the constellation of the celestial river Eridanus. More specifically, the descendant is conjunct theta (θ) Eridanus, Acamar, [24ar].

About this star Nick Fiorenza writes:

Acamar, Theta 1,2 of ERIDANUS, is a primary stop or stoppage along the long and winding river of Life. Acamar is the dam, and indicates that emergence from the belly of Cetus (the technobureaucratic monster of collective human consciousness) requires a breakthrough that will lead us from the foul digestive juices of Cetus and into a greater freedom of being. Alignments here can fool one in thinking the forging they have just gone through in the belly, and their emergence marks the end of their journey, when in fact it is but the door merely opening to be worthy to begin the real work. Alignments here can also manifest as aliments due to the denial to pursue the physical clearing required to purge what has been taken on through our earlier journeys in life.

In other words both literally and metaphorically, the American people are being asked to clear away the “dams” that have prevented the flow of the “living” waters. Metaphorically, this can also refer to the possible release from the current economic stagnation caused by the “damming up” of resources by the top 1 %.
