Gula – the Great
Doctoress
A
groundbreaking study of the virosphere of the most populous animals -- those
without backbones such as insects, spiders and worms and that live around our
houses -- has uncovered 1445 viruses, revealing people have only scratched the
surface of the world of viruses -- but it is likely that only a few cause
disease. The meta-genomics research, a
collaboration between the University of Sydney and the Chinese Centre for
Disease Control and Prevention in Beijing, was made possible by new technology
that also provides a powerful new way to determine what pathogens cause human
diseases. Nov. 23
The Total Solar Eclipse of March 9, 2016 was placed
powerfully on the meridian at Sydney. It was also conjunct Neptune which was
one arm of a Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune T-square.
About the stars conjunct Neptune, Diana Rosenberg writes:
When the ancient
figure of Gula, “the Great Doctoress” is superimposed on the stars of Aquarius,
her face, forehead and left hand come out here at the mouth of the Urn and its
outflowing waters, bringing forth physicians and healers….These stars were
transited at the 293 BCE Aries Ingress: at Rome’s request, a mission from the
Aesclepion at Epidaurus in Greece sailed to Rome; Aesculapius became the most important
Greco-Roman god of healing; in 1793 at the beginning of a severe Philadelphia
Yellow fever epidemic: doctors were helpless, 5,500 died; in 1882 when Doctor
Koch discovered the tuberculosis bacterium, the first definite association of a
germ with a specific human disease; at the 1947 Aries Ingress during an
outbreak of small pox in New York City (the city quickly set up free
vaccinations, cutting off the threat); at the 1955 announcement that the Salk
Polio Vaccine had been found safe and effective and many others.
If we now progress the eclipse chart to November 23, the
date of the news, notice that the eclipse T-square once again makes hard
aspects to the meridian and is thereby triggered. A second trigger comes in the form of Neptune
stationing direct (on Nov. 20) conjunct the radix Neptune on the MC of the
eclipse chart.
Finally, we note that Saturn[16sa] is conjunct the star eta
(η) Ophiuchus, Sabik. This is a star on
the right leg of the Serpent Bearer. Ophiuchus is identified with Aesculapius
(Asklepios, Asclepius), an ancient physician who grew so skilled in the craft
of healing that he was able to restore the dead to life. So once again we have
a confirmation that this eclipse is highlighting doctors, physicians and the art of healing.
