Man ‘kept as a slave’ rescued

A man has been freed from a six-foot shed where it is believed he has been held for the last 40 years. It is suspected that he was locked into the tiny room when he was just 18 years old in 1978. When he was discovered he was said to have looked like a ‘rabbit in the headlights’ because he was so startled to be freed.

In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as the most important mundane event. Each cardinal ingress of the Sun oversees a three month period. The Sun has just entered Libra. A chart for the event drawn for Carlisle. As always configurations aligned with the angles are the ones to focus on. Here we have a Grand Cross involving Mars-Uranus-Apollon-Vulcanus aligned with the meridian.

Uranus [2ta] on the MC is conjunct  the stars Mirach, beta Andromeda, the Chained Woman and Mesarthim, gamma Aries in the Ram’s head.  The constellation Andromeda has always been a symbol of slavery but with the potential for freedom. With Uranus, the planet most linked with freedom,  conjunct Mirach, the possibility of  “breaking one’s chains”  increases several fold.

 For these stars, Diana Rosenberg writes: “The forceful, determined Ram has the power to break Andromeda’s shackles, challenging, any and all limitations!”

Mars is conjunct the star Altair of Aquila the Eagle often linked to tyrants  and conquerors who impose their will on others. In early images depicting this area, the Eagle is shown carrying away a youthful figure against his will.

Therefore, the combination of Mars-Uranus  along with their stars together can refer to freedom from tyrannical figures.

Finally we note, that on Oct.4, the date of the man’s release from captivity,  the Moon was transiting over 2-3 degrees of Leo triggering the Grand Cross !
