Seabird’s poop as fertiliser in the Atacama Desert

 

Hades(Pluto) and Persephone holding the signs of life and renewal

The Atacama Desert is well-known as the driest and most ancient desert in the world. Nevertheless, it has been inhabited for millennia. Different populations managed to transform the valleys of this arid landscape into fertile agricultural fields. But how was this possible? How did ancient groups practice successful agriculture in such an arid environment? We suspected that fertilisers had something to do with this. Jan. 25 https://go.nature.com/3rd5zfr

Maps drawn for lunations (New and Full Moons) are among some of the tools used in mundane astrology. When these charts carry important planetary configurations on the angles they are especially significant for the place. Shown here is the chart for the current  New Moon  (conjunct Pluto) drawn for Santiago, Chile from where, the paper quoted above was published in Nature.

The New Moon of Jan.13-14  being conjunct Pluto  and the 4^th house cusp is  expected to bring out events related to Pluto and the 4^th house.  Pluto usually begins by breaking clown a structure; then it creates a new one in its place….Decay at one level or another, followed by new life from the old is a typical Plutonian process. New life from  waste products is  Plutonian. Fertiliser from animal excreta would come under this category. Pluto or Plouton,  means ‘giver of wealth’ or ‘riches’.  Plouton was often depicted with a cornucopia, symbol of abundance.

Deborah Houlding explains what the  4^th house  rules:

 It rules land, the quality and nature of the ground, (whether it is fertile, swampy, woody, stony or barren..Farming, agriculture and any occupation that is concerned with tending the land is relevant here.Everything that relates to the foundation and roots of our existence and therefore the history or past of the land is also ruled by the 4^th house.  http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h4.html

 The New Moon along with Pluto is placed amid the stars of Indus. The constellation Indus depicts  an indigenous American Indian, nude, and with arrows in both hands, but no bow. It commemorates  a  lifestyle close to nature. Moreover the planets on the IC form a square aspect to  Mars-Uranus in Taurus.

Uranus in Taurus is an odd mix. Taurus is the most stabilizing of earth signs. The most grounded. Stubborn. Fecund. Fertility is never in shortage with this sign. Its fields are famous for yielding crops of incredible sustenance. A planet’s transit through these lands will always speak to the ways in which we work with them. How we build. How we grow. How we sustain. How we value the earth and its resources. The bull has been connected to wealth, currency, stock and trade for thousands of years. When a planet rolls through this sign, it teaches us something important about how we are relating to these exchanges. Uranus’s time in Taurus speaks to  us about innovations, changes, breakdowns and (hopefully) breakthroughs with the resources of this glorious earth we are so fortunate to inhabit. https://bit.ly/3cw3t6k

Is it at all surprising that under a Pluto New Moon in the 4^th house amid stars of the constellation Indus square Uranus in Taurus, a paper is published about how the ancient native population  used  innovative ideas e.g. animal poop to convert a desert into a fertile land?
