Horologium
Oscillatorium
the Pendulum Clock
Gauhati, January 01, 2014: After 66 years of
following the Indian Standard Time (IST), Assam has decided to go back in time
to follow ‘chaibagaan time’, a daylight schedule British tea planters
introduced more than 150 years ago. The resetting, the government feels, will
help save energy and improve lifestyles impacted by the IST-induced late start
of daylight work schedule.
Shown here
is the chart for the 1st Jan New
Moon. Notice that the chart shows the now familiar prominent Uranus-Pluto square
straddling the horizon axis. This is a combination that refer to transformation,
the collapse of an old order and the beginning of a new one. Uranus [8ar41] is
conjunct iota Horologium [8ar24]. Horologium is from Latin horologium, from Greek orologion,
literally 'that which tells the hour', from ora, 'hour', and -logion, that
which tells, from legein to tell. The constellation, Horologium Oscillatorium,[1]
was added by La Caille in 1752 to honor Christiaan Huygens who invented the
first pendulum clock in 1656, based on the pendulum introduced by Galileo
Galilei. With Uranus here is it any surprise that Assam has decided to change its
standard time!
