Hercules
battling the Hydra
India has
executed Yakub Memon, the man convicted of financing the deadly 1993 Mumbai
bombings, the Maharashtra state government has confirmed. Memon was hanged at a
prison in Nagpur at 6:35 am on July 30. As expected the execution has polarized
India on communal lines. Many
commentators have linked the Mumbai bomb blasts to the Mumbai riots following
the demolition of the Babri Masjid by
right wing political outfits. The action-reaction attacks and counterattacks have
plagued India since its partition in 1947.
To analyze
the event let us begin with the chart for the hanging of Yakub Memon [ July 30;
6:35 am IST; Nagpur]. On the Ascendant
[16le] is Mercury [13le] which aligns perfectly with the Saturn-Pluto [13le] conjunction
in India’s Independence Chart.
What
follows below is an abbreviated extract from Nick Fiorenza’s excellent
article “The Saturn-Pluto Synodic Cycles - A Historical Exploration 1851 – 2020”
[1]. Here we are interested in the Saturn-Pluto synod that occurred on Aug 22,
1947, just a week after India’s independence. Moreover, since the synod[13le]
is placed on the 4th house cusp of India’s chart. The 4th
house is linked to “nationalism, cultural roots and history of a nation” [2].
A
Saturn-Pluto synodic cycle can also
initiate a dismantling or destructive process of long-standing established systems
of belief so that we can evolve our societal structures. In the process, this
can articulate as power struggles, wars and the like; but Saturn and Pluto will
ultimately demand we take responsibility for the discord and destruction we
have created.
Aug 22, 1947 – Saturn-Pluto Synod
Geocentric conjunction: 1
trigger - Aug 10, 1947
Primary stars: Acubens of
Cancer; Zeta Hydra, Dubhe of Ursa Major. This is also the exalted location in
the ecliptic for Pluto.
Synodic
Theme (abbreviated):
Acubens,
Alpha Cancer, indicates entrapment in dogma. This can be the current political
/ religious beliefs of the times, as well as that created by our personal
belief structures--the ideas we have about our lives and experiences we have in
our lives. Acubens indicates a tenacious hold and stubborn resistance to
release the patterns we hold that keep us entrapped in our limiting life
scenarios.
Zeta
Hydra lies immediately south of Acubens. Delta through Zeta Hydra and Pulsar
CP0834 (which conjoins Gianfar of Draco, the poisoned place) create Hydra's
head. Zeta Hydra and surrounding stars indicate a multifarious undermining
source of destruction (every time Hercules took off one the Hydra's heads, it
immediately grew another). The conjunction of Acubens and Zeta Hydra reveals
that the repetitive undermining experiences in our lives are manifest from our
own tenacious belief structures.
Associated
Quasar 3C206 of Hydra, one of the brightest & closest quasars, suggest that
although our dogmatic beliefs can take rather strange and unexplainable forms,
they are not outside the realm of our own creation. They are however laser-like
in their power. Quasar 3C206 reminds us to not be naïve to the powerful
momentum of our beliefs and the undermining behavioral patterns they can
create. This quasar tells us to not turn our backs on that momentum, to know it
may take more than one attempt to overcome our dogma's hideous tenacity. Dubhe
asks us to emerge from the collective and our own personal dogmas (our belief
structures) and our limiting life patterns that keep us bound in life scenarios
that are less than those we truly want. Dubhe supports us to strive for a new
and better future rather than merely staying reactive to the limitations we
have already created and reinforce with our existing beliefs.
Having
understood the basic issues that the Saturn-Pluto synod in India’s chart
highlights, the question arises how the synod is activated right now. Well, there is both a slow moving trigger in
the form of transiting Pluto [14cp] in a quincunx aspect to the radix synod
position [14le] and a fast moving trigger with Mercury [14le] moving over the
synod on the very day of the execution!
