A group of archaeologists in Greece say they have
found the lost tomb of Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and likely world's
first true scientist. The Greek newspaper Ekathimerini reported Thursday (May
26) that the finding will be announced at a press conference, as a capstone to
a Aristotle-themed conference in Thessaloniki (May 23 – 28). The archaeologists
had been digging for 20 years at a site in the ancient northern Greece city of
Stageira, where Aristotle was born in 384 B.C. Aristotle died 62 years later in
Chalcis, about 50 miles north of Athens. Ahead of the official announcement,
the Greek Reporter has some more details on the tomb, saying that
"literary sources" say that Aristotle's ashes were transferred there
after his death. It is located near the ancient city's agora, apparently
intended to be viewed by the public. http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/some-archaeologists-in-greece-think-they-found-aristotles-tomb
To understand
the astrology behind this discovery, let us first look at the concept of
backward causation.
What is backward Causation?
Sometimes also called
retro-causation. A common feature of our world seems to be that in all cases of
causation, the cause and the effect are placed in time so that the cause
precedes its effect temporally. Our normal understanding of causation assumes
this feature to such a degree that we intuitively have great difficulty
imagining things differently. The notion of backward causation, however, stands
for the idea that the temporal order of cause and effect is a mere contingent
feature and that there may be cases where the cause is causally prior to its
effect but where the temporal order of the cause and effect is reversed with
respect to normal causation, i.e., there may be cases where the effect
temporally, but not causally, precedes its cause. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-backwards/
Having
understood the concept let us look at the chart for the upcoming New Moon of
June 5 drawn for Thessaloniki which contains the clue to the discovery of
Aristotle’s tomb. The New Moon is placed on the Ascendant and is part of a
Grand Cross. A retrograde Saturn is placed in Sagittarius on the descendant.
Sagittarius is a sign associated with philosophy while Saturn represents an
authority figure and its retrogression is referring to the past so that we
already have an outline a great authoritative philosopher from the past that
appears to emerge from the chart. On the Ascendant is the star Rigel. In Brady's Book of Fixed Stars, the author Bernadette Brady writing about Rigel says that
it is “linked to giving knowledge to or teaching others” [1].
We then look
at Jupiter in Virgo, a sign ruled by Mercury which is associated with logic and
analytical qualities. Aristotle’s logic, especially his theory of the
syllogism, has had an unparalleled influence on the history of Western thought.
So far we can see that the New Moon chart does
have hidden within it reference to a ancient philosopher like Aristotle who is
famous for his logic. The only leg of the Grand Cross that remains to be
understood is occupied by Neptune [12pi]. This was part of the ancient Chinese asterism Fan-Mou, The Tombs representing tombs of the deceased!
