French nudist arrested at Rishikesh

A 27-year-old French national was recently arrested in India for allegedly making a nude video shot at the popular hanging bridge "Lakshman Jhula" in Rishikesh, police officials said on Saturday. Police said they received a complaint last Tuesday from Ganjendra Sajwan, a resident and local politician, about the incident, following which the woman was arrested on Thursday. https://sptnkne.ws/D4uB

Astrologers routinely cast charts for the ingress of a planet  into a new sign. Here is the chart for the Sun’s  entry into Virgo drawn for Rishikesh. Notice that  the Mars-Saturn-Pluto square aligns significantly with the horizon axis.

Saturn represents social structures and institutions  as well as the restraining control of traditional authority to maintain the status quo. Saturn is conservative and cautious—the “order” side of law-and-order.  By contrast, Pluto represents total transformation, the urge for complete change that bubbles away in the collective and wells up from time to time in the cultural equivalents of earthquakes, tidal waves, and volcanic eruptions.

Metaphorically Saturn can be thought of as the hard rocky layer that keeps the boiling lava (Pluto)  of earth’s interior safely deep inside.  Compare that with the primal passions (Pluto)..more appropriately authentic needs of human beings kept in check by the social order (Saturn).

 Mars is the planet of reckless impulse  and when it faces off with Saturn, the planet of  law and order, conflicts with the law can be expected.

To complete the picture here are Sabian symbols for the degree of the MC and the one following it [1]. Read together they offer a deeper insight into the news story.

PHASE 286 (CAPRICORN 16°): SCHOOL GROUNDS FILLED WITH BOYS AND GIRLS IN GYMNASIUM SUITS.

KEYNOTE: The need for physical activity and play, especially in adolescence.

PHASE 287 (CAPRICORN 17°): A REPRESSED WOMAN FINDS A PSYCHOLOGICAL RELEASE IN NUDISM.

KEYNOTE: The escape from bondage to social inhibitions and a reliance upon the wisdom of the body.

Under the pressure of religions that have created a sharp and unwholesome division between soul and body, society has produced strict codes of values regarding the play of natural instincts, and has glorified them under the name of "decency" and "modesty." The growing trend toward nudism — which of course has nothing to do with the "pornographic" display of one's body — is a welcome protest against the depressing and neurosis-generating puritanism of the past.
