Ajax, Ontario, Canada (CNN)Even without the benefit
of context, the image of a naked 9-year-old girl running for her life is as
searing and indelible today as it was 43 years ago. That image jolted people
around the world. Some say it hastened the end of the Vietnam War. "I
always remember that horrible day that we ran from life to death," says
Kim Phuc, the girl in that iconic photo. Now 52, she lives just outside Toronto.
In addition to her work with the U.N., Phuc has started
the Kim Foundation International, a charity that helps children suffering from
war, just as she did so many years ago. Its mission is to help the most
underprivileged children suffering from war -- building hospitals, schools and
homes for children who have been orphaned. Phuc says she plans to live out her
life in service of that mission. June 25
Kim Phúc
and her family were residents of the village of Trang Bang, South Vietnam. On
June 8, 1972, South Vietnamese planes dropped a napalm bomb on Trang Bang, The
bombing killed two of Kim Phúc's cousins and two other villagers. Kim Phúc was
badly burned and tore off her burning clothes. The iconic photo taken in Trang
Bang by AP photographer Nick Ut shows her at nine years of age running naked on
a road after being severely burned on her back.
Shown here
is the chart for the First Quarter Moon of June 24 at Ajax. A T-square of Uranus-Pluto-Zeus straddles the
horizon axis and is therefore brought to
prominence. The TNP Zeus is associated
with military action and together with Uranus-Pluto here it refers to upheaval and devastating fires
brought about by military action. With
Pluto and Zeus retrograde and Pluto conjunct the asteroid Memoria , the chart
is hinting at an incident in the past.
Pluto
[14sa] is conjunct stars of Sagittarius, the Archer and Aquila, the Eagle. The
constellation of the Eagle is associated
with the military in general but more specifically with the air force. Here it combines with stars of the Archer to produce a
perfect symbol for a military aircraft (image above).
The Sun and Mars are conjunct the star Betelgeuse
of Orion. The constellation Orion is
depicted as a mighty Warrior so that by association Diana Rosenberg links this
star to “great historical battles and events”.
She gives the following examples:
This was Jupiter
at the 597 BCE Fall of Jerusalem; and at the 9 CE solar eclipse the year
Germanic tribes wiped out 3 Roman
legions at the Battle of Teutoburger Wald, shocking Rome and forcing Augustus
to accept the Rhine as the northern limit of his rule; the Oct 732 CE New Moon’s Ascendant: 60,000 Moslem cavalry had invaded France; Charles (“The
Hammer”) Martel hastily assembled Frankish infantry and decisively defeated them at the Battle of Tours; Pluto
at the 1415 Battle of Agincourt, one of the great victories of military
history; at the May 1453 lunar eclipse, 7 days before Constantinople fell to
the Turks; the Sun at the start of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo; Jupiter at the
1942 Battle of Midway; Saturn at D-Day,
the 1944 Allied invasion of Normandy,
the beginning of the end of the Third Reich.
Betelgeuse
is also the determinant star for the
Indian Lunar Mansion Ardra. The god that belongs to this constellation is
Rudra, the thunder god. Rudra destroys everything that does not belong to a
particular person. The symbol for Ardra is a tear drop linked to the suffering
that the thunder god Rudra brings, but Ardra translates to moistness and
green and freshness of a new beginning
after the elimination of the old. So
while Ardra brings suffering, many Ardra natives also work in helping
professions alleviating the suffering of others [1][2].
Finally, the
Sabian symbol [3] for the Moon [2li38] on
the IC says it all:
Phase 183 (Libra 3): THE DAWN OF A NEW
DAY REVEALS EVERYTHING CHANGED
Keynote: The ever-present possibility
of beginning again on a new foundation of values.
