For
the past five years, many parts of southern India have been hit by drought.
Rivers have been drying up and urbanisation is threatening traditional sources
of water. But, as Sanjoy Majumder discovers, one area in Karnataka has managed
to overcome the dry spell by turning back the clock, seeking inspiration from
medieval kingdoms using techniques developed in ancient Persia. June 7 http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-40180951/medieval-aqueducts-fight-drought-in-indian-state
Eclipses have special significance in mundane astrology.
Their unique meaning at any place can be discovered through the house position of the eclipse, the
symbolic interpretation of star patterns on conjunct the eclipse and the angles
etc. To understand the above news we
begin with the chart for the last solar eclipse of February 26 drawn for Bidar,
Karnataka. The eclipse [8pi] is placed in the 6th house amid stars
in the water pouring from the Urn of the Aquarian Water Bearer. Among other things, the mundane 6th house rules crops and farming.
A lack of water leads to drought and famine. The stars of Aquarius are about
humanitarian projects for the well being of all. Here the stream of Aquarian water literally symbolizes the ancient aqueducts that were a part of
medieval projects undertaken for the welfare of the community.
The eclipse makes a sharp trine aspect to the MC [8cn] which
is placed among the stars of the ancient Chinese asterism Tsing – The Well [1].
When this asterism was prominent , the Chinese
were reminded to clean existing wells and dig new ones! On the MC are the TNPs Kronos-Hades which here refer to
medieval Kings![2]
If we now progress the eclipse chart to June 7, the date of
the news, we find the Jupiter-Uranus opposition aligned with the meridian.
Jupiter’s (♃) archetypal significance relates to
expansion, exploration, optimism, elation, higher education, and the bigger
picture, with a tendency to crown or bring out the best of whichever planetary
archetype it touches. Uranus’s (♅) archetypal
significance relates to the revolutionary spirit of the scientific and
innovative, the sudden and unexpected, or the rebellious and eccentric.
Explored in depth in Richard Tarnas’ epic Cosmos and Psyche, the planetary
alignment of Jupiter-Uranus consistently correlates with the achievement and
sense of expansion (Jupiter) brought through new scientific/technological
breakthroughs (Uranus). http://www.cartographyofsynchronicity.com/single-post/914A4CE4-F992-4313-9515-BECC491EE14E
So the Jupiter-Uranus is not only referring to the
technological breakthrough 600 years ago achieved by the medieval builders but
is also highlighting the discovery of the ancient aqueducts as a major
breakthrough for the current times. Incidentally, the eclipse is placed amid
stars of the Arabic Lunar Mansion Sa’dal –
Ak hbiyah – the Luck of Hidden Things, essentially pointing to a lucky
discovery.
