Dragon – symbol of power,
electricity and lightning
A "huge lightning show" took place above
northern New Zealand tonight as the sky lit up in a dazzling display of mother
nature's power. Lightning strikes every 15 seconds were reported in Auckland as
the city's residents experienced a huge storm. Jimmy Boswell, in Raglan, said a
"huge lightning show" in Raglan lasted for at least 15 minutes as the
night sky was shattered by a lighting strike 2-3 times every 10 seconds. Police
have also confirmed a man has been killed by a falling tree in Tinopai, north
of Auckland. A bolt of lightning has
also reportedly struck Dargaville Hospital, shattering windows and setting off
alarms. No injuries were reported from the lightning strike. MetService forecasted heavy downpours with
damaging wind gusts of up to 130km/h were forecasted predicted to hit Auckland
at about 4pm. People have been warned to stay inside, but if they must drive
somewhere then they are advised to take extra care on the roads. June 2 http://www.sott.net/article/297250-One-dead-as-huge-lightning-show-strikes-northern-New-Zealand
Events in a
mundane horoscope are more likely to occur in those places where stars that form the backdrop to planets resonate
with those on the angles. Shown here is the chart for the Full Moon of June 3
at Auckland. The Moon [11sa49] is conjunct the star Alwaid, beta Draco [12sa12]
and opposite Mercury [7ge19] which is amidst stars of the constellation Hyades.
The following references tell us more about the constellations of Hyades and
Draco, the Dragon.
The name Hyades is
derived from a Greek term meaning 'rain' because of the wet season that
accompanied their rising and setting in May and November respectively. The
helical rising of the group unaccompanied by rain, was taken to foretell a
barren year and they also had a reputation for causing storms. Pliny
referred to the group as 'violent and troublesome... causing storms and
tempests on land and sea' whilst Ptolemy mentions them as harbingers of fire,
thunder and lightning. The disturbance they brought meteorologically
appears to underpin their astrological reputation for characterising upset,
violence and sorrow [1].
In China the
dragon has a meaning altogether different from that given it in the Western
world. The dragon is a symbol of the electrically charged, dynamic, arousing
force that manifests itself in the thunderstorm. In winter this energy
withdraws into the earth; in the early summer it becomes active again,
appearing in the sky as thunder and lightning [2].
On the
Ascendant [2ta58] at Auckland is the star Tyl, epsilon Draco [2ta52] while the MC [8aq] is trine Mercury [7ta] in
Hyades. The energies activated by the angles at Auckland resonate with the
constellations mentioned above so that the thunder storm and lightning show
takes place there.
