The beautiful flower with an ugly past





It looks simple - a pretty blue cornflower - but this plant is causing controversy in Austria. It's the chosen flower of the far-right Freedom Party, even though it was once associated with the Nazis. Dieter Dorner takes a long sip of his Gemischtes, a mix of dark beer and lager, and smiles. We are sitting in an inn in Untersiebenbrunn, a little town east of Vienna, where he is a councillor for the far-right Freedom Party. Over a meal of sausage, chips and locally grown white asparagus, he tells me about a planned dance. May 22 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36342362






The news comes just a day before the Full Moon of May 22. The Moon is conjunct a retrograde Mars and placed amidst the stars Kornephoros, beta Herculis and gamma Lupi of the Beast.

About the constellation Hercules, ancient Roman astrologer Manilius writes, “from it comes the thug who terrorizes the heart of the city.” When we combine this with Lupus, the Beast  and a retrograde Mars do we not have the picture of the right wing Nazi party of the past?!
But more significantly, the Full Moon chart for Vienna has the TNP Poseidon on the MC as part of Grand Trine with the TNPs Kronos-Hades and Neptune.

Poseidon-Hades-Kronos: Infamous (Kronos-Hades) ideas, ideologies or philosophies (Poseidon) from the past (Hades);  ideas or ideologies linked to ugly or criminal activities.

(The Nazi party was formed on 20 Feb. 1920 and had in its radix chart Poseidon [25vi] opposite Hades [27pi])

Now here is where it gets really interesting Poseidon on the MC is conjunct the star Alphecca. Alpha (α) Corona Borealis, Alphecca, is a brilliant white star in the Northern Crown [1]. About this constellation Manilius writes:

The child of the Crown will cultivate a garden budding with bright flowers and slopes. Grey with olive (trees) or green with grass. He will plant pale violets, purple hyacinths, lilies, poppies which vie with bright Tyrian dyes, and the rose which blooms with the redness of blood, and will stipple meadows with designs of natural color. Or he will entwine different flowers and arrange them in garlands. [Manilius, Astronomica, 1st century AD, book 5, p.321.]







As we have seen before, there can be more than one mundane chart indicating the same event. Shown here is the Appulse Lunar Eclipse of March 23, 2016 progressed to May 22, the date of the news. Notice that the eclipse conjoins the horizon axis while  the Grand Trine of Neptune and TNPs Kronos-Hades, Poseidon aligns with the MC.
