Sperm
counts among men have more than halved in the last 40 years, research suggests,
although the drivers behind the decline remain unclear. The latest findings
reveal that between 1973 and 2011, the concentration of sperm in the ejaculate
of men in western countries has fallen by an average of 1.4% a year, leading to
an overall drop of just over 52%. “The results are quite shocking,” said Hagai
Levine, an epidemiologist and lead author of the study from the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem.
The chart for the last solar eclipse of February 26, 2017
drawn for Jerusalem, where the study was carried out, will help explain the
news. The eclipse is significant for the place as it falls on the descendant. It
also makes hard aspects to the
Mars-Venus square Pluto combination placed in the 8th and 5th
houses.
Skyscript provides the following areas of rulership for 5th and 8th
houses.
Fifth House Rulerships:
Children, pregnancy, pregnant women. Love affairs, romance, lovemaking,
sex, procreation and conception. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h5.html
Eighth House
Rulerships: All matters relating to
death, decay, fear, anxiety and loss. Transits through this house often show a
need to consolidate and accept the loss of elements of life that are no longer
fruitful or have served their purpose. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h8.html
An aspect between the 5th and 8th
house planets can therefore mean a
decline in the power of conception and procreation. In addition Mars represents male sexuality so
that Mars-Pluto can point to the need to sublimate, redirect or transform the
Mars aggression and sexual energy for higher purposes beyond just the procreative.
If we now progress the eclipse chart to July 25, the date of
publication of the study, we find that the progressed meridian triggers the
Venus-Mars-Pluto square on that date.
