Castaway saved at Crescent Moon

Majuro, Marshall Islands (CNN) -- A castaway who claims to have spent more than a year adrift in the Pacific Ocean says his faith in God kept him going through the ordeal. But there were times, he said, when he wanted to end it all. Alvarenga was found on sparsely populated Ebon Atoll, a 22-hour boat ride from the Marshall Islands capital of Majuro, on Thursday. The government airplane that services the atoll was not working, so Alvarenga did not make it to Majuro until Monday morning.

Shown here is the chart for the waxing Crescent Moon of Monday, 3 February at Majuro. Notice how sharply  it is placed on the MC. The MC [28pi02] and the Moon [29pi13] are conjunct the star Scheat [29pi34]. Scheat has a well known reputation of being connected with catastrophes and shipwrecks but also with “sorrows and disasters that lead to new beginnings. And now and then miracles!” [1].

The Sun [14aq13] is conjunct Dhanab al Dulfim, [14aq14] epsilon Delphini, in the tail of the Dolphin.

Just as the Lion is the King of the beasts, the eagle King of the birds, so is the Dolphin King of the Fishes. Swift, intelligent and friendly, the Dolphin is an allegory of safety and salvation; from the ancient times stories have come down of dolphins rescuing the shipwrecked [2].
