The
word pontiff derives from the Latin pontifex, which in itself is the
combination of pons for bridge and fex (facere) meaning to make. Probably
building bridges was the most high-tech activity in the Roman times and
therefore it found its way to denote the most prominent priests in ancient
Rome. Later the honorary title was appropriated by the Christian Church to
refer to a bishop and today is most often used in relation to the Pope.
But,
it is Vladimir Putin that has emerged as the real pontifex-bridge maker of our
times. He is of course so in many figurative senses but also in very concrete
action. Putin has built more bridges in Russia than all the other leaders
combined through history. Now, I said Putin has built bridges but naturally he
has not built them personally but ordered them to be built and created the
conditions for that. http://russia-insider.com/en/putin-pontiff-bridge-maker/ri14223
The horoscope
of Vladimir Putin as provided by Astro-Databank is reproduced here. Since
the time of birth is not known accurately we will focus on the information we
can glean from his date of birth. Notice that he has a Sun [14li]-Saturn[17li]
conjunction square Uranus [18cn]. Here Uranus is conjunct the star Wasat .
Delta (δ) Gemini, Wasat, is a double star, pale white and purple that joins the
twins together. In other words, it serves as a connecting link much like a
bridge or a tunnel connecting two pieces of land [1].
Conjoining Castor is Wasat of
Gemini. Wasat, the umbilical cord, embodies the essence of sidereal Gemini. Wasat
is the link and liaison that unites and acts as a catalyst. Wasat brings
the logistical pieces together. Wasat is of planning, coordination, assemblage
of diversity into a workable functional model; the mechanics of creating the
means in physical logistics. Castor / Wasat is the engineer, the technician,
the artist, the constructor, and coordinator (whereas opposite Sagittarius is
the architect, inspirationalist, and vision holder). [2]
