has become five. Laetoli in northern Tanzania is the site of iconic ancient
footprints, capturing the moment – 3.66 million years ago – when three members
of Lucy’s species (Australopithecus afarensis) strode out across the landscape.
Now something quite unexpected has come to light: the footprints of two other
individuals. “Our discovery left us without words,” says Marco Cherin at the
University of Perugia, Italy. The find looks set to transform our understanding
of the Laetoli site and the social dynamics of australopiths, as well as their
style of walking. Dec. 14
The November 29, 2016 New Moon conjoins Juno, the asteroid of covenant partnerships. A chart for
the New Moon drawn for the Laetoli site is shown here. Notice that the New Moon
is anchored to a powerful Venus-Pluto-Jupiter-Uranus T-square placed on the
angles.
Pluto is the archetype of primordial sexual energy, the
universal life force which impels all evolution. It represents the primal
libido that lies hidden in the unconscious of modern man. Its conjunction to
Venus, the planet of love and relationships, and aspects to Jupiter and Uranus can here describe how ancient man handled this
energy.
In mythology Jupiter or Zeus was a polygamous
god with several wives. With Uranus’ association with freedom , the Venus-Uranus
aspect also resonates with the idea of many
partners.
