In the early summer months of 1834, a three-masted
ship named the Madagascar
sailed into the port of Rio de Janeiro , its hull filled with the most
implausible of cargo - a frozen New England
lake. The Madagascar and her
crew were in the service of an enterprising and dogged Boston businessman named Frederic Tudor. As a
well-to-do young Bostonian, Tudor’s family had long enjoyed the frozen water
from the pond on their country estate, Rockwood - not just for its aesthetics,
but also for its enduring capacity to keep things cold. Feb

Shown here
is the chart for the February 18 New Moon at Boston . Notice that the New Moon long with Neptune on
the descendant forms a T-square with the TNP Admetus [1] and Saturn.
ADMETUS: cold.
Combining
Admetus and Neptune we have frozen water or ice!
This
example illustrates that even a news item of an event that is 200 years old
needs a trigger from a favourable planetary configuration for it to be
published.
