Cupid and Psyche – Eternal Soul Mates
As
the popular saying goes, "Love is Blind". But what happens when two
visually impaired people fall in love? "You get a very different kind of
love; a love that's not about physical beauty; it's love beyond
appearances," says award-winning Indian photographer Niraj Gera. In a
recent photo series called Sacred Love, he tells the story of a blind couple in
13 photographs. March 17 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-51737916
The elements of a horoscope are symbols. A horoscope is,
therefore, an organization of symbolic images and narratives of the
possibilities of human experience. On my blog site regular readers will have
seen several examples of how the same planetary configurations amidst the same
stars give rise to several possibilities taking place all over the world. What
makes the difference? It is really dependent on human free-will.
The following extracts from a previous post on the
astrology of India’s social unrest [1], focused on the December 26 solar
eclipse as it affected India’s chart creating a divide between communities (-ve
S.Node in Capricorn response) but also bringing some together (+ve N.Node in
Cancer response) as never before. A deep dwelling of light, love and mutual
nurturance (N.Node in Cancer), once dimmed by control, manipulation and
cruelty,(S.Node in Capricorn) now shines forth from each of us.
The New Moon
produces a Lunar South Node (Ketu) eclipse that impels our departure from an
antiquated societal modality and a rapid acceleration into an escalating
transformative process occurring throughout the year ahead…. This departure may
externalize in the world as greater disparity between those who insist upon
perpetuating an antiquated paradigm of conflict and domination, and the
"cultural creatives" who herald a progressive personal and societal
metamorphosis.
Sidereal Gemini
often depicted as brothers hugging each other has been associated with the
brotherhood – sisterhood of mankind. With a club (in Pollux’s left hand) and
bow and arrow i(in Castor’s right hand), , the Twins also stand for racial
hatred and persecution. The constellation has been found to be active both
in instances of religious or racial prejudice as well as in peaceful efforts to
bring people together in recognition of their common humanity.
With S.Node in tropical Capricorn accompanied by Saturn
and Pluto, we are being asked to discover the courage to question the dictates
of consensus rule that allow for common acceptance of oppression and
subjugation, and to think for ourselves beyond the brain-washing of mass media
that reinforces herd consciousness. During Pluto’s transit in Capricorn, …we
will see a growing number of
individuated types who reject and rebel against the system and its arbitrary
definitions.
The Full Moon lunar eclipse of Jan. 11 (representing the
culmination of New Moon solar eclipse energies) fell very significantly on the
meridian at Delhi with the stars Spica
and Arcturus (often referred to as soul mates) rising on the Ascendant.
The Archturus-Spica
(Boötes-Virgo) synthesis exemplifies the masculine and feminine in their
unadulterated Divine Union, able to express, birth, and manifest the purest
expressions of Unity Consciousness. https://www.lunarplanner.com/Bootes.html
If we now progress the lunar eclipse chart to March 17,
the date of the BBC news story, we find (a) that the eclipse axis reaches a
square aspect to the meridian …and is thereby triggered (b) the progressed
horizon aligns with TNP Cupido – Jupiter –
Hades – Node.
The TNP Cupido (as also the Node) rules marriages or
unions while the TNP Hades refers to those who are unfortunate and of course
the Great Benefic Jupiter blesses such a union with good luck. And amazingly,
the stars that form the backdrop to the elements at both ends refer to “blindness”.
Jupiter is conjunct the star Facies
(Oculus Sagittarii) – the cluster just in front of the Archer’s face associated
with eye injuries or problems [2]. And for
the stars conjunct Hades and the N. Node, Diana Rosenberg lists “physical
disabilities and blindness”.
Can all this be a coincidence? The union of the blind
couple is a living example of the Gemini Twins hugging each other –
symbolically representing the coming together of soul mates!
