Black Death
Rats
were not to blame for the spread of plague during the Black Death, according to
a study. The rodents and their fleas were thought to have spread a series of
outbreaks in 14th-19th Century Europe. But a team from the universities of Oslo
and Ferrara now says the first, the Black Death, can be "largely ascribed
to human fleas and body lice". The study, in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Science, uses records of its pattern and scale. The Black
Death claimed an estimated 25 million lives, more than a third of Europe's
population, between 1347 and 1351. Jan.15 http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-42690577
With the publication of the Oslo study, suddenly a long held
belief has collapsed. If we draw the chart for the sidereal Capricorn Ingress
at Oslo, we can explain why. Notice the Sun-Pluto-Venus conjunction forming a
T-square with the meridian and Uranus on the IC. Ebertin links Uranus-Pluto
with the “collapse of an old order”. Venus is the lord of the 6th
house which rules “national vulnerability to epidemics and widespread diseases”
[1] so that the paradigm collapse is with reference to epidemics. But the chart
holds more surprises. Firstly, Uranus [24ar] is at the same position that it
occupied in 1349 at the outbreak of the plague. And secondly for stars on the
Ascendant [10sa], Diana Rosenberg notes: “Keynote events in human history…epidemics
and mass deaths” and writes:
Neptune was here at
the Sept. 164 CE Sol.Ecl with a path of totality through Mediterranean lands:
Roman troops returning from Mesopotamia brought disease with them: the Plague
of Galen caused heavy mortality throughout the Roman Empire, contributing to
its downfall; Jupiter in 1918 at the start of the most virulent wave of the
influenza pandemic that killed about 30 million worldwide; Neptune in 1976 when
the first known case of the Ebola virus arrived at a hospital in Zaire, the
disease spread rapidly with an 88% mortality rate and many others.
And finally we note that Uranus is in pioneering Aries and
also amid stars of Eridanus, the Celestial River of Time so that Diana Rosenberg links this area with explorers who “probe
ancient myths and return with lore that enlightens the present”.
