PANAMA
CITY — A mammoth ship bearing 9,472 containers and the unwieldy name Cosco
Shipping Panama completed on Sunday the first official voyage through the new
expanded Panama Canal, a $5.25 billion project designed to modernize a
102-year-old landmark of human ambition, determination and engineering prowess.
The Chinese vessel, which set sail from the Greek port of Piraeus on June 11,
began its crossing of the isthmus from the northern Atlantic Ocean end of the
48-mile canal. On Sunday morning, it entered one of the new locks, on its way
to the man-made Gatun Lake, the widened Culebra Cut through a verdant mountain
ridge, and then the Pacific Ocean. Like the channel that opened in 1914, the
enlarged Panama Canal is a feat of engineering, albeit one that ran over budget
and two years behind schedule. https://goo.gl/p4S460
The monthly lunar cycle and its phases is a natural and
dependable time piece for understanding the nature of world events in the light
of ancient myths linked to the stars. The widened Panama Canal was opened to traffic
on June 26, just a day before the last quarter Moon phase. A chart for the Moon
phase at Panama is shown here.
On the MC is the star alpha (α) Gemini Castor [20cn] in the
constellation of the Twins.
"The Twins" are marked
by the two principal stars: Pollux, the immortal extraterrestrial one, and
Castor the mortal terrestrial one, the extraterrestrial incarnate. Sidereal
Gemini is of high intensity intellectual communication, information, commerce,
goods and services, and of their exchange. Castor is the liaison in the
world of daily human affairs, and is of partnerships and cooperation. Castor
brings resources and people together that serve to get logistics accomplished
in the world of business and commerce.[1]
On the descendant is Uranus conjunct Acamar.
Theta (θ) Eridanus, Acamar, is a star in the River often symbolized
as a dam or restriction in the flow of the River [2]. Uranus which is conjunct
Acamar on the descendant, is all about technological breakthroughs so
that the removal of this obstacle comes very appropriately under the domain of
Uranus.
Putting the pieces together, the widening of the Panama
Canal or in other words the removal of what was perceived as an obstacles has
led to the ease of commerce between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (Castor and
Pollux hugging each other!).
