On the Corinth Canal and Putin in Saudi Arabia





The Corinth Canal built in 1893 connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It runs through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and divides the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, supposedly making the peninsula an island. A giant cruise ship has become one of the largest ships to ever pass through the Corinth Canal in Greece, the Metro reported. The 22.25-metre-wide MS Braemar has squeezed into a canal that is 24 metres wide at its narrowest point, according to the British media outlet.  Oct. 14 https://sptnkne.ws/AbkS




The monthly lunar cycles and their changing eight lunar phases act as a natural time piece marking terrestrial events with the star patterns that their charts illuminate.  The passage of the giant cruise ship through the Corinth Canal has taken place at the Full Moon of Oct.14.  Shown here is the chart for the Full Moon at the co-ordinates of the Canal. Notice that the Full Moon axis makes a Grand Cross with the horizon and Saturn-Pluto on the Descendant.

In his Combination of Stellar Influences, Ebertin gives the following key ideas about Saturn-Pluto:

Tenacity and toughness; the capability to make record efforts of the highest possible order; the ability to perform the most difficult work with extreme self-discipline.

After a massive effort  lasting 11 years, the Corinth Canal was completed on 25 July 1893 in the lunar cycle that began with the New Moon of 13 July 1893 placed at [21cn] coincidentally (?) on the Ascendant [19cn]  of the current Full Moon chart and opposite Saturn-Pluto (record efforts).

The stars on the Ascendant (and also the New Moon of 13 July 1893) are placed in sidereal Gemini (the Twins) - a sign  which stands  for “joining, linkages and connections” which is why it rules roads, bridges, canals and anything that links two separate entities. But more significantly for this area, Diana Rosenberg writes:

Just southwest of Procyon are delta and 18 Monocerotis [19cn30, 12cn45] called Kioue-K’iou, (in ancient China) the Excavation of the Hills or Deep Causeway of the Water!


PS:

The worldview underlying astrology sees all of reality as symbolic in nature. To the symbolist, the heavenly bodies are threads within a great tapestry of affinities and correspondences. Elwell has defined the term multicongruence as  the tendency for certain things and conditions to co-occur because they belong together at a higher, unmanifest level.

Apparently quite unconnected with the foregoing is news coming in about Putin’s visit to Saudi Arabia during which he hopes to put forward a peace initiative that could bring Iran and Saudi Arabia together – a  virtually impossible task considering the history of the relationship between the two countries.

Here is the chart for the Full Moon at Moscow. Notice the significant alignment of the luminaries with the meridian square Saturn-Pluto. In other words suggesting a very difficult task of  finding common ground between two warring parties! Notice the bow and arrow and the club in the hands of the Twins who are strangely also hugging each other!!




And how about Russia’s peace plan for the brewing war between Ankara and Damascus..Full Moon chart at midpoint between the two capitals.
