Charts are true. Utterly. With a precision
that can stun. The task, then, is to learn and understand the factors and
techniques that reveal the truth and to honor serve and embrace the knowledge
of Self and the profound gift of life events – Martha Wescott
An
HIV-positive US expat now on the run has leaked the HIV-positive status of
14,200 people – plus their contact details and the names of some of their sex
partners – from a Singaporean health database.The US citizen who spent over two
years in a Singaporean jail for various crimes – including lying about his own
HIV status – has apparently found a way to take revenge against the world. He
released 14,200 patient names, HIV test results, phone numbers, addresses, ID
numbers, and other medical information – including the names and contact
information of 2,400 of their sex partners, the Singaporean Ministry of Health
said in a statement. https://www.rt.com/news/450001-hiv-status-leaked-singapore/
In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun
have a traditional reputation as the most important mundane event. Of these the
Capricorn Ingress chart is considered by many astrologers to the most important
and often referred to as the Annual Chart. The chart for the sidereal Capricorn Ingress
at Singapore is shown here. As always
configurations aligned with the angles are the ones to focus on.
Here we have a Sun-Pluto conjunction on the descendant
square Uranus on the MC. In its simplest manifestation, Uranus-Pluto is the sudden
revelation (Uranus) of hidden information (Pluto).
Although in a general sense Venus-Pluto is linked to
venereal diseases [1] in this particular case we have an even clearer indication of
HIV. The centaur Nessus [7pi] is square Venus [8sa] with both semi-square Pluto
[21cp] on the descendant.
In Greek mythology,
Nessus (Ancient Greek: Νέσσος) was a famous centaur who was killed by Heracles,
and whose tainted blood in turn killed Heracles. Nessus is known for his role
in the story of the Tunic of Nessus. After carrying Deianeira, the wife of
Heracles, across the river, he attempted to force himself upon her. Heracles
saw this from across the river and shot a Hydra-poisoned arrow into Nessus's
breast. As he lay dying, as a final act of malice, Nessus told Deianeira that
his blood would ensure that Heracles would be true to her forever, knowing the
blood to be infected with the hydra's poison. [2] One day as Hercules departed
for a tournament, Deianira gave him a cloak anointed with Nessus’ body fluids.
When Hercules donned the article, he experienced excruciating pain and suffering
induced by the Hydra contaminated blood and semen and endured an agonizing death. On the mundane
level, the Nessus myth clearly emerges ruling Sexually Transmitted Disease
(STD), AIDS and those diseases transmitted by blood, such hepatitis in all its
gradations. [3]
Notice how elegantly the mythology of Nessus brings out
the vindictiveness of the HIV-positive US expat.
This post , among several
others on this blogsite, is written in
the hope that long forgotten mythologies associated with planets and other
newly discovered entities will find their rightful place in astrological interpretation.
