Ravens
remember people who have wronged them, a new study has found. The black birds,
which have been depicted in Hollywood and literature as bad omens, can
recognize the faces of people who have treated them unfairly and tend to avoid
those people for at least a month, according to a study recently published in
the journal Animal Behaviour. June

The study carried out in Vienna, Austria concluded that
ravens are able to remember the identity of certain experimenters and their
characteristic behaviour (cooperate, defect), and that they prefer interacting
with the ‘fair’ experimenter when given the choice at a later stage. The result
of the study was published just a day before the Full Moon whose chart at
Vienna is shown here. On the Ascendant is Jupiter in tropical Libra conjunct the star delta (δ) Corvus, Algorab on
the right wing of the Raven. According
to Robson, the Raven is associated with “craftiness, greediness, ingenuity,
patience, revengefulness, passion, selfishness, lying, aggressiveness”.
Jupiter is square Pluto, a combination that is linked to “manipulative
(Pluto) largesse (Jupiter)”. In Libra it
advocates for fairness over domination. How interesting that the ravens tended
to avoid people who had treated them unfairly!
So not only does the chart literally highlight the raven, it
also metaphorically summarizes the result of the study.
