Cetus about to devour Andromeda
The suicide rate in the US has surged to its
highest level in almost three decades, according to a new report. The increase
is particularly pronounced among middle-age white people who now account for a
third of all US suicides. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
report did not offer an explanation for the steep rise. However, other experts
have pointed to increased abuse of prescription opiates and the financial
downturn that began in 2008 as likely factors. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36116166
The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report was published on April 22 by the National Center
for Health Statistics at Hyattsville, MD. We begin by looking at the chart for
the last solar eclipse of March 8 drawn for Hyattsville. With the eclipse on
the cusp of the 6th house we know immediately that it has something
to say about “public health” [1]. The
eclipse is in Pisces – a sign linked to “an era of storms and wholesale
disintegration”. For stars in this area,
Diana Rosenberg adds “struggle for mental stability; a few are prone to despair
and either put up a tremendous determined fight against it, or give in to the
point of addiction or even suicide”.
Contributing
to the eclipse theme is the Uranus-Pluto square straddling the horizon.
Uranus-Pluto is linked to the collapse of an existing order so that the
financial downturn that began in 2008 is a likely factor. Moreover, the stars
of Cetus, the Sea Monster and Andromeda, the Chained Woman are conjunct Uranus.
The sea is a perfect symbol for the human psyche so that Cetus represents the storm
that can erupt in the human psyche and threaten the life of chained woman
Andromeda. It is for this reason that Diana Rosenberg lists “depression,
addiction and suicide” under these stars.
If we now progress
the eclipse chart to April 22, the date of the report, Neptune and the asteroid
Orpheus which are conjunct the eclipse reach the IC triggering the entire
configuration. The asteroid Orpheus is connected with death and Neptune with
depression and psychic disintegration so that the timing of the report and its
conclusions are perfectly in line with the stars.
