Discovery of the tomb of Pharoah’s wine maker

Neptune (Dionysus) – the wine maker

Archaeologists have discovered the tomb of a brewer who served an ancient Egyptian court more than 3,000 years ago in Luxor. The man buried in it was "head of beer production", archaeologists say. A Japanese team found the tomb during work on another tomb belonging to a top official under Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who died around 1354 BC. [1]

Shown here is the chart for the 25 May 2013 lunar eclipse at Cairo that can help us understand this news. Notice that the eclipse Moon is in the 6^th house – a house linked to service and those who “serve food and drink”  while Sun is in the 12^th house which rules “things that are hidden” [2].  Forming a T-square with the eclipse axis and placed on the MC is Neptune [5pi20] which forms a part of the Chinese asterism Wei that presided over tombs and graves. It was sometimes referred to as Kia-Ou “The Last House of the Master” [3]. Neptune is also part of a Grand Trine with the TNPs Kronos-Hades and Saturn. Ken Johnson and Ariel Gutman, in their book Mythic Astrology, make a strong case that the astrological Neptune’s secondary archetype is Dionysus [4]. Dionysus was god of wine and ecstasy. With the TNP Kronos associated with authority figures, fame or famous people, it doesn’t take much to connect Kronos-Neptune to a famous wine maker. As always there is more than one indicator for anything significant in astrology. Here we find Neptune forms a semisquare to Bacchus [5]/Kronos midpoint – once again pointing to a master of wines!

Progressing the eclipse chart by the PSSR method to 3^rd Jan 2014 brings the progressed Ascendant to a conjunction with Neptune triggering the discovery of the wine maker’s tomb.
