French Vineyards Exploit Seasonal Workers

 

The Red Vineyard by Van Gogh

People employed to pick grapes for France’s luxury champagne brands are being forced to sleep rough and steal food to stave off hunger, an investigation has found. The Guardian reported on Monday that it had found seasonal workers from west Africa and eastern Europe in the town of Epernay in northern France sleeping on the streets or in tents as the vineyards did not provide accommodation. Dec 23 https://www.rt.com/news/609817-grape-pickers-sleeping-rough-france/

 

Analyazed carefully, the horoscope of a nation along with its derivatives (e.g. Solar or lunar returns etc.) can reveal amazing details.

 Using data for the horoscope of France as provided by Astro-Databank[1], the current solar return is shown here. Sun, the ruler of the 6^th house is placed very significantly on the descendant and square the TNPs Hades [14cn]-Kronos [16cn] along with Mars[17cn] and the the asteroid Dionysus [16cn] (Bacchus).

Martha Wescott gives the following key phrases for Dionysus/Bacchus. 

DIONYSUS or BACCHUS: Excess; addiction; attempts to manage feelings, people and situations through substitution or avoidance; contact with orchards, pine and fir trees, vineyards; intoxication. 

So while a 6^th - 4^th connection can refer to day-labourers on a farm, the presence of the asteroid Dionysus tells us specifically what kind of farms - vineyards! 

In her book The Orders of Light, under the combination Hades-Kronos, Martha Wescott has: 

To recognize a polarisation between “labor and management”, between the perceived “aristocracy” and the common man (the peasants!); to note disgust with leadership and the regulations they enforce; leadership attained or held at the cost of poverty and difficulty for others. 

 

Finally if we progress the solar return chart to Dec 23, the date of the news, we find the progressed meridian now aspects the Sun-Hades-Kronos square thereby triggering it. The result is an event which features the essence of the combination.
