In centuries past, Vienna shined bright as the
world’s most creative city. It gave us Mozart and Freud, and scores of other
geniuses. The Vienna of today doesn’t enjoy such global prominence, nor does it
possess the hip cache of Berlin or the polyglot culture of London. But it has
something else going for it: laziness, or “productive idleness”, as I call it.
I mean this as a compliment, for it’s a certain kind of laziness – and it is
worth admiring. June 3; http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20150513-viennas-recipe-for-living-well
In this post
we will see that a review about life in Vienna in the travel section of the BBC
website on June 3 is not a coincidence and actually shows up in the stars. A chart for the last lunar eclipse at Vienna
has the luminaries in a prominent T-square with Pluto [15cp30] in the 6th
house. The 6th house is about routine work, the kind we all engage
in to keep the body and soul together. The following edited extract from Steven
Forrest explains one of the “navigational errors” in dealing with the Pluto in the 6th
house:
Some of life’s
knottiest dilemmas lie in finding the delicate balance between responsibility
toward others and responsibility toward
oneself. When we commit the error of “too much responsibility” we find people
whose duties turn into a kind of voracious black hole, never satisfied.
Fourteen hours in the office and still a sense of imminent failure. Such people
give so much without replenishing their own batteries that they sooner or later
reach that depressed, flat state commonly called “burn out”.
With Pluto in the
6th one of the healing methods is to find mentors. These will be
people who have found work or patterns of responsibility which they find
compellingly satisfying, to which they commit themselves with great fire – and from
which they can walk away come Friday afternoon.
Quite often a
chart will contain more than one clue that let’s us know whether our interpretation is correct.
Here the Sabian for Pluto [16cp] summarizes the issue in one beautiful symbol.
Phase 286 (Capricorn 16):
School Grounds Filled With Boys and Girls in Gymnasium Suits
Under the pressure of money-making and
duties we often forget the need for play and recreation for the harmonious
development of the human personality. This symbol is reminder to correct this
imbalance.
Finally, if
we now progress the eclipse chart to June 3, 2015 we find that the Pluto
T-square straddles the horizon and the IC, triggering the issues highlighted above.
