Capricorn ingress of Venus: Perceiving patterns




BERLIN, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Reformers seeking to crack down on legalized prostitution in Germany say they are hopeful negotiations to form a new government will lead to changes. Leaders of the conservative Christian Democratic Union of Chancellor Angela Merkel and the left-leaning Social Democratic Party, seeking to form a "grand coalition" after September's federal elections, said during the weekend they are discussing ways to tighten the country's 11-year-old law legalizing prostitution.



MUNICH, Nov.5. Previously unknown artworks by masters are among nearly 1,400 pieces found in a trove of Nazi-looted art in Munich, German officials say. As slides of the paintings were shown at a news conference, an expert said the works had been seized from private individuals or institutions. Previously unregistered works by Marc Chagall, Otto Dix, Max Liebermann and Henri Matisse were found. http://bbc.in/1fgmRxS



Astrology as a  language is difficult to understand  because it operates in way far removed from anything else in our experience. But think of any serious subject, any science - none of them would exist if they had chosen to stay with the language of everyday life. They developed their own specialized concepts. Astrology might be harder to understand because it operates in its own dimension called the astral - an appropriate name because astral means relating to the stars. The astral has a number of extraordinary features. One of them we are already familiar with, its power to encode everything that happens into its system.

At some level, in some dimension, all the things attributed to each planet come together in something which embraces them all and explains them all. In the early part of  20th century astrologers  began to understand that the different attributes of a planet must be part of one and the same process or function. [1] For instance we have developed a shorthand in which Venus stands for women as well as works of art . So what is connection between works of art and women ? Both are objects of beauty that appeal to us.  We value them.

Let us now go back to the two unrelated news items dated 5 Nov.  On that date Venus slipped into Capricorn. The chart for that event is shown above. It is drawn for Berlin and not very different for Munich for all practical purposes. We notice immediately that Venus-Pluto-Uranus-Hades-Kronos form a Grand Cross with the MC – a very significant configuration. The meaning attributed to the planets and TNPs are:


VENUS: Femininity,  women , "love", material ($$$) values, appreciation, art, relationship, union/unity.

HADES: Disgust/distaste; degrading; the past -thus history and primitive origins

KRONOS: Authoritative positions (experts); laws;  legislators;  executives; governmental leaders


PLUTO:  interest in sex, hidden or repressed material; major change.

URANUS: Emergence; sudden events, innovative ideas

Here are some key phrases for combination of planets and TNPs



Hades/Venus: Prostitutes; art from the past

Hades-Kronos-Venus: Art masters from the past; laws pertaining to prostitution

Pluto-Uranus: Emergence of  what was hidden

Kronos-Pluto: Changes in laws


What are we to make of the fact that the key symbols appear to connect the two news events? Perhaps astrology is reminding us that if we wish to understand human existence we must swim upstream nearer to the headwaters of the unmanifest.
