Moscow's
ban on the import of food products from the EU and the ensuing ruble crisis
have added significantly to the resurrection of Russian farming; now the
country makes more money from the export of agricultural products than from the
international sale of military equipment, according to Spiegel Online. 6 Sept.
The solar eclipse of September 1 fell in tropical Virgo, a
sign often depicted as a Virgin holding a sheaf of corn in her hand – a direct
reference to food and agriculture. A chart for the eclipse at Moscow has it
placed significantly in the 10th house making a T-square with Saturn
in the 2nd and Neptune in the 4th.
At her website Skyscript, Deborah Houlding gives us the
meaning of the 2nd and 4th houses in mundane astrology.
The 2nd house “ influences the status and value
of the nation's crops, produce, and essential supplies” [1].
The 4th house rules “farming, agriculture and any
occupation that is concerned with tending the land” [2].
In his delineation for the positive manifestation of
Saturn-Neptune, Ebertin writes:
The methodical
execution of plans, the slow attainment of success through intense activity and
great painstaking effort.
In other words, the Saturn-Neptune square is here referring to overcoming of a fundamental
weakness in agriculture.
Progressing the chart to September 6, the date of the news,
brings the eclipse T-square to an alignment with the meridian thereby
triggering it.
