Copenhagen Zoo said it euthanized a male giraffe,
named Marius, on Sunday because of a duty to avoid inbreeding. After an
autopsy, "Marius" was dismembered in front of a zoo audience that
included children, and fed to the zoo's lions. Despite online uproar over the
move and reports of last-minute attempts to save the animal, the zoo in the
Danish capital said it had no place for Marius in its giraffe herd.
As most
readers are aware there are eight phases of the Moon [1]. In astrology, the chart
for each phase is considered important for a place. In particular, the stars on the angles as well
as those that conjoin the Moon (and
planets) gives rise to events that are closely connected to the mythology of
the stars.

Camelopardalis, or the Giraffe, is a large yet
faint constellation in the northern hemisphere. It was created by Dutch
astronomer Petrus Plancius and first described by German astronomer Jacob
Bartsch, both in the early 17th century. When he included Camelopardalis on his
map in 1624, Jacob Bartsch wrote that it stood for the camel on which Rebecca
rode into Canaan to be married to Isaac, as
written in Genesis. The constellation, however, represents a giraffe, not a
camel, and the origin of its name is unclear. The Greeks, for reference, called
the giraffe the "leopard camel" because it had a leopard's spots and
the head of a camel [2].
The Gibbous
Moon is sesqui Saturn [22sc] while the Sun squares it. Uranus [9ar50] on the Descendent is conjunct stars of King
Cepheus and the sea monster Cetus to which Diana Rosenberg attributes amongst other things “extermination and deliberate cruelty” [3]. It is also in a sesqui aspect to Saturn
[22sc21] which is conjunct the stars Men, alpha Lupi [23sc40] on the Beast’s
hind leg, epsilon Librae in the Scales [21sc31] and sigma Corona Borealis
[21sc33]. The balance of the Scales
and the Gardens of Corona Borealis can bring harmony to the wild (here the zoo – a
miniature wild) but this may sometimes require
the sacrifice of Lupus, the Akkadian Ligbat,
(Beast of death). In the light of this, the
Moon [7cn] position on Camelopardalis tells us that a Giraffe has been chosen
to die!

P.S.
It is reported that the animal was put down at 9:20
am (CET) on Sunday. The IC [7cn16] of the event chart is conjunct the star 42
Camelopardalis mentioned above with Saturn [22sc58] in a exact quincunx aspect
to the Ascendant [22ar53].
