Shackled children found in California home





Two parents have been arrested in California after police found 13 people allegedly being held captive at their home, including some "shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks". David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Anna Turpin, 49, were held on charges of torture and child endangerment. The 13 people - aged between two and 29 - were found in a house in Perris, 59 miles (95km) south-east of Los Angeles, police say. They are all believed to be siblings.

It has long been the custom in mundane astrology  to consider maps drawn for the time of the entry of the Sun into the cardinal signs: Aries,Cancer,Libra and Capricorn. Of these, the Aries Ingress was by tradition considered the most important and possibly to be thought of as “the map of the year”. Led by Carter astrologers have begun to consider the Capricorn as the prime ingress.

It was Carter who suggested that if the sidereal zodiac were valid, maps for the entry of the Sun into the constellations of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn would be of importance. This suggestion was followed up by Garth Allen, who in an extensive statistical investigation found that the sidereal ingresses were not only valid but of the highest significance. This opinion has been fully confirmed by other investigators in recent years. Garth eventually arrived at the conclusion that the Capricorn Sidereal Ingress was of primary importance followed in rank by that of Cancer; Aries and Libra, whilst having some significance, could be considered of lesser importance. - Primer of Sidereal Astrology; Cyril Fagan, Roy C.

The importance of the sidereal Capricorn Ingress has been known for quite some time but unfortunately it is still ignored by those who follow the tropical zodiac. In any case in this post we shall see how elegantly the sidereal Capricorn ingress (Capsolar) explains the news. The ingress took place just two days before the news was reported. At Perris, Pluto, Sun and Venus are placed in the 5th house which deals with children.  The Sun [24sp59] has just completed a square with Uranus [24ar38] which is placed among the stars of King Cepheus and his chained daughter Andromeda. About Cepheus, the Roman astrologer Manilius wrote:

"Cepheus will not engender dispositions inclined to sport. He fashions faces marked by a stern demeanor, and moulds a countenance whereon is depicted gravity of mind. Cepheus will also create a man to bring up boys of tender age he will lord it over his lord [dominum dominus] by virtue of the law which governs a minor and, bemused by this semblance of power, will mistake for reality the role of arrogant guardian or stern uncle which he plays." [Manilius, Astronomica, 1st century AD, book 5, p.336-341]

Here chained Andromeda literally  depicts the children held “captive at their home, including some "shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks"”.


But let us recall that Uranus is a planet of rebellion which can grant freedom from captivity so that its square  to Sun in the 5th can refer to an opportunity for freedom.
