The mystical dragon in East Rudham





A 75-year-old man said he spent 13 years crafting a "boring" hedge into a 150ft-long (45.7m) giant dragon. John Brooker sculpted the mystical creature out of the 10ft-high (3m) privet alongside his rented farm cottage in East Rudham, Norfolk. [1]



The current New Moon solar eclipse [8ta52] was placed in the earth sign Taurus – a sign  well known for its connection to meadows, flowers and gardens [2] and, therefore, by association to gardening. Since it was square the meridian axis at East Rudham, it was very significant for the place.  On the IC of the eclipse chart is the star Gianfar, lambda Draco [10le32], in the constellation of the Dragon [3]. Progressing the chart to May 22, the date of the news, brings the current Cardinal Grand Cross to the horizon axis with the Ascendant conjunct Jupiter [14cn43] and the star Dziban, psi Draco [14cn] of the Dragon.  The progressed IC [8vi13] is conjunct Thuban, alpha Draco [7vi39] once again of the Dragon!. Here Mars [11li51] is the star Gienah of Corvus [10li56] which was part of the Indian nakshatra “Hasta”. The symbol for this nakshatra is the palm of the hand. The primary deity is Savitar, the Sun God, who promotes creativity. He is called “the golden handed one” so that this nakshatra is linked to dexterity in the use of one’s hands.  So with  all the elements here – the garden (the hedge), the dragon and the skilled use of one’s hands, is the news at all surprising!
