Indian Supreme Court in landmark ruling on privacy




India's Supreme Court has ruled that citizens have a fundamental right to privacy, in a landmark judgement. The judges ruled the right to privacy was "an intrinsic part of Article 21 that protects life and liberty". The ruling has implications for the government's vast biometric ID scheme, covering access to benefits, bank accounts and payment of taxes. Rights groups are concerned personal data could be misused. The authorities want registration to be compulsory.The verdict overturns two previous rulings by the top court which said that privacy was not a fundamental right.  Aug. 24 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-41033954





The total solar eclipse of August 22 is beginning to affect events around the world but especially so in places where it is on the angles. A chart for the eclipse at Delhi is shown here.  Notice that the eclipse is placed on the IC with the North Node. It is conjunct the asteroid Atlantis [4vi] and square the TNP Admetus [0ge]. Atlantis is linked to “invasions of privacy” [1] while Admetus is about restrictions or blocks. Therefore one meaning of the combination is restricting access so as to protect privacy!
