Big Ben bongs sound for final time


Horologium Oscillatorium

the Pendulum Clock



The bongs of Big Ben have sounded for the final time before they are silenced for a four-year period of restoration workon the Elizabeth Tower. The tower is undergoing a £29m programme of renovation until 2021, but the prime minister and several MPs have raised concerns over the plan to silence the bell.

The worldview underlying astrology sees all of reality as symbolic in nature. To the symbolist, the heavenly bodies are threads within a great tapestry of affinities and correspondences. Thus even when an article is published, the symbolist can find important clues connecting the contents of the article with the planetary configurations at that time.




The major planetary alignment in 2015-16 was the Saturn-Neptune square. On September 10, 2016, Saturn-Neptune formed the last of three square transits. A chart for the mundane event at London has the square straddling the horizon axis suggesting that it is significant for the place.

On the IC are stars of  Horologium. This constellation, Horologium Oscillatorium, was added by La Caille in 1752 to honor Christiaan Huygens who invented the first pendulum clock in 1656. Horologium is from Latin horologium, from Greek orologion, literally 'that which tells the hour', from ora, 'hour', and -logion, that which tells, from legein to tell.

Saturn is named after the Roman god Saturn, equated to the Greek Chronos.    In Greek mythology, Chronos in pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification of time. He emerged from the primordial Chaos and was  depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man turning the zodiac wheel. Often the figure is named Aeon (Eternal Time), a common alternate name for the god. His name actually means "Time", and is alternatively spelled Khronos (transliteration of the Greek), Chronos, Chronus (Latin version). Some of the current English words which show a tie to khronos/chronos and the attachment to time are chronology, chronic, and chronicle.

Time, space and form are expressions of the fragments of existence, they represent the reality of separation. On the other hand, Neptune  has no notion of boundaries and structures. For Neptune, with its principle of interconnectedness of all fragments, time is a mirage.  So while Saturn rules time, Neptune tends to  end our perception of time.

Several mystery schools  believe that our Earth along with its inhabitants is now ready to move from the Third to the Fifth Dimension.

The most important difference between Third and Fifth Dimensional reality is a change in the nature of Time and Space and how they are perceived by you. Time and Space were fixed realities in the Third Dimension. In the Fifth Dimension they are fluid and are understood to be largely illusionary. Time in the Fifth Dimension is perceived as the Eternal NOW or present. http://lightparty.com/Spirituality/living-5-dimension.htm




If we progress the chart for the Saturn-Neptune square to August 21, 2017 the progressed meridian reaches a conjunction to Saturn triggering the square and silencing Big Ben!
