Former senior Khmer Rouge leader
Ieng Sary has died, Cambodia
We start
with the solar eclipse of May 21, 2012 which is placed significantly for Phnom Penh
The eclipse was conjunct Jupiter (24ta56)
- Algol (26ta20). The Chinese gave Algol
the gruesome title Tseih She, the Piled-up Corpses. Astrologers of course said that it was the
most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens. Both these
descriptions fit very well the genocide that came to be referred as the Killing
Fields of Cambodia.
Mars-Neptune
combination is often linked to victims (Neptune) of violence (Mars) and
eclipses mark endings so that it is an appropriate eclipse to consider.
Given below
is an extract from Nick Fiorenza’s account of the eclipse. Readers will
immediately notice how for our case here it correctly identifies the misplaced
idealism of the Khmer Rouge as the cause
of the problem and since this an eclipse conjunct the South Node (the past) it
is about an end to that past.
Alignments with the Pleiades can
produce somewhat of a naiveté in foreign or new environments or a nebulosity to
see what is actually required. There can be a tendency to act based upon
idealism or surface appearances without grounded pragmatism when an alternative
perspective and new approach is instead required due to fundamental energetic
differences encountered in new environments. Without deliberate alternative
action, experience can become repetitive or leave one floundering in a quandary
about how to accomplish something in the physical world. What may have been
started with naive excitement can later lead to a sobering realization that one
is stuck in the mud and must now find their way out, let alone accomplish what
they originally set out to do.
But all
mundane charts must stand up to what I like to call “the test of progression”
i.e. do the progressed angles for the date in question (March 14 here) aspect planets and stars that provide meaningful
context?
Shown below is the progressed chart for Mar 14, 2013, the date of Khmer Rouge leader Ieng
Sary’s death. Notice Uranus on the ascendant square Pluto on the MC.
For Uranus
conjunct the Ascendant (4ar16) I quote Diana Rosenberg writing about stars in
early Aries:
The dramatic combination of King,
Dragon, Sea Monster and Fishes combines influences of the water depths with the
imperious, ardent impulse of King Cepheus. The king’s stars offer leadership
but shadowed by the doubts and the dark dominion of the sea-monster. On the
wild shore between the terra firma of
sanity and the ocean’s chaotic depths, these people are fanatic, obsessive,
single –minded, high strung, nervous, edgy, racked by a great inner tension…they
lack a sense of when to stop and some step over boundaries, becoming real or
figurative outlaws.[2]
Anne
Whitaker [3] writing about Pluto in Capricorn puts it very bluntly:
You cannot escape the consequences
of your actions, is the message that this sign and planet bring.
Even
if death came naturally and not through
the hangman’s noose, in a sense, the eclipse was putting an end to a dark chapter in Cambodia
