World's Longest Snake Has Virgin Birth

Virgin birth has been documented in the world's longest snake for the first time, a recent study says. An 11-year-old reticulated python named Thelma produced six female offspring in June 2012 at the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky, where she lives with another female python, Louise. No male had ever slithered anywhere near the 200-pound (91-kilogram), 20-foot-long (6 meters) mother snake.

New DNA evidence, published in July in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, revealed that Thelma is the sole parent, said Bill McMahan, the zoo's curator of ectotherms, or cold-blooded animals. National Geographic; Oct. 23, 2014; http://bit.ly/1y3LUwb 

The eclipse luminaries fall on the Venus-Uranus axis. Here Venus, the ruler of the eighth house, is opposite Uranus, the ruler of the fifth. The eighth house is commonly referred to as the house of sex [1] while the fifth house is linked to procreation and children [2]. This highlights the issue mentioned in the news – sex for procreation. But it is only when we notice that Venus [10li] is conjunct the stars Vindemiatrix, epsilon Virginis [10li] and Porrima, gamma Virginis [10li] in the constellation of the Virgin that the miracle becomes clear!

Progressing the eclipse chart to October 23, 2014 aligns the horizon axis with the eclipse and the Venus-Uranus opposition triggering the news.
