Corvus brings bird flu to China

The number of bird flu cases in China jumped Sunday to 102, including 20 deaths, the World Health Organization announced. Seventy patients remain hospitalized with the virus. The WHO said there is still no evidence of human-to-human transmission.

So far the virus has mainly affected eastern China, with 11 deaths and 33 infection cases reported in Shanghai, 24 cases, including three deaths, in Jiangsu Province, 38 cases, including five deaths, in Zhejiang Province, while Anhui Province has confirmed three cases, with one ending in death.

“Mundane astrology, the study of heavenly cycles upon groups and nations is the most ancient branch of astrology. The affairs of a nation can be judged from the horoscope set up at the time of its official inauguration, the birth chart of its leader, and various phenomena such as eclipses, lunations, great conjunctions, stations, comets and ingresses. Among these, ingresses have a traditional reputation as the most important mundane event.”[1]. Skyscript

Shown above is the chart for the Sun’s ingress into Aries at Shanghai. Notice that the  Sun is in the 6^th house of public health, sickness or epidemics [1]. The 1^st house rules the inhabitants of a country so that a star rising on the Ascendant is always important in this regard. Here we find that the Ascendant (13libra) is conjunct the star Alograb (13libra39) of Corvus, the Raven [2]. Diana Rosenberg associates Corvus with “air contamination and epidemics”. Venus the ruler of the Ascendant is also placed in the 6^th house of epidemics so that it becomes certain that  spread of respiratory diseases would affect inhabitants.

P.S. Apart from the fact that a bird is associated with the air element, the myths surrounding  Corvus the Raven [2] have characters like Hydra, the poisonous serpent and Asclepius connected will illness and healing so that it is not too difficult to see how Diana Rosenberg associates it with air borne disease.
