“I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you
took care of Me; I was in prison and you visited Me.”

Matthew 25:36
If you
give clothes away to charity or for recycling, there's a good chance they will
pass through a warehouse in the Hungarian town of Szekesfehervar, writes Nick
Thorpe....Just
off the ring road linking it to the M7 motorway, from Budapest to the Adriatic,
stands a vast warehouse. Each day 100 tonnes of used clothes, mostly from
Britain, are unloaded here, in huge white bales. Each weighs at least 300kg and
contains what one might call a mixed bag of items - ladies blouses, men's
T-shirts, children shoes, winter coats. All the junk which British households
feel they can do without and contribute to charity shops and door-to-door
collections with the best will in the world. This is the conscience of the
West, the gift of the First World to the Third, intercepted briefly, by those
in the Second. June 13 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36498061
A chart for the current New Moon drawn for Szekesfehervar
helps explain why it is the news as a charity centre. The New Moon conjoins
Venus, the ruler of the 12th house linked to charity [1]. Notice also that the New Moon not only falls
on the Ascendant but also activates a Grand Cross which has a Jupiter-Neptune
opposition.
Jupiter expands Neptune's higher compassion, bringing
feelings of altruism and generosity as limitless as stars in the milky way of
Divine Kindness. It can manifest as an
impulse to spread (Jupiter) compassion (Neptune) — to display a great big
(Jupiter) heart (Neptune). It is uninterested in hearing the details of why
there is heartache and struggle; rather, it seeks to find what can be done now.
The focus is on forgiveness and the alleviation of pain. This combination pairs
unconditional love (Neptune) with a “can do” attitude (Jupiter) [2].
