Ever
since scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep named Dolly, one important
question on everyone’s mind was whether or not a clone can expect a poorer
health. This is still an open question, one that South Korean researchers hope
to settle in time. They’ve essentially cloned a clone, using cells from the
world’s first cloned dog, an Afghan hound named Snuppy. Nov. 21 https://www.zmescience.com/ecology/animals-ecology/scientists-clone-worlds-first-cloned/
TThe news report on
the cloning comes to us just after the New Moon of Nov. 18. The lead scientists involved in the work are
from Seoul National University, Korea.
The New Moon [26sc] is conjunct the star mu Serpentis near
Ophiuchus’ left hand. Since time
immemorial serpents have been associated with the capacity to regenerate
themselves linked with their ability to shed their skins. The association of
the serpent (Serpens) with this constellation, Ophiuchus, may indicate the
miraculous powers of the medicine-man. Ophiuchus often identified with Aesculapius,
we are told, was the first doctor of medicine with the ability to restore
people to life.
A chart for the New
Moon at Seoul shown here has a Mars-Pluto square straddling the Ascendant.
Medical astrology recognizes Mars-Pluto to be associated with
artificial limbs. [1]
The MARS/PLUTO midpoint often can be found in connection
with the replacement of natural organs or functions by artificial substitutes,
such as arms, legs, joints, dentures etc.[2]
When we extend this concept of replication of organs,
Mars-Pluto can be seen to also rule the copying of an entire organism as in
cloning.
But what is being cloned? The answer comes from the stars on
the Ascendant in the constellation of Canis Major, the Greater Dog!
