Argentina Plaza de Mayo activist finds 'stolen grandson'




An Argentine activist who searches for people taken as babies from the victims of the 1970s military junta has been reunited with her own grandson. Estela de Carlotto said finding her grandson, now 36, was "reparation" for her family and for Argentina. She said he had come forward for DNA testing because he had doubts about his own identity.The junta snatched hundreds of babies from their opponents and gave them to sympathisers to bring up.

As we have seen in several posts on this blog, the Capricorn Ingress chart is a vital tool for plotting the events during the course of a year for which it is valid. Shown here is the Capricorn Ingress chart for Buenos Aires,  where the human rights organization Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo has its headquarters.

The Moon,[17le] in the ingress chart, is placed in the mundane 5th house (children) conjunct the stars Kochab, beta Ursae Minoris and Dubhe, alpha Ursae Majoris – the protective Mother Bear and her Cub. Diana Rosenberg links this area to “issues relating to the destruction or protection of children”.

With Uranus currently transiting [16ar25] it trines the Moon while conjoining the Ascendant [16ar31] and therefore acts as a trigger bringing the chart to life. Through its square to radix Jupiter, it brings about very fortunate events. Notice that Jupiter [17cn27] and the asteroid Child [18cn35] is conjunct the IC [18cn13] and both are square the asteroid Ceres [18li] which refers to mothers and their relationship to children.  The stars on the IC are part of the Indian Lunar Mansion Punarvasu, “The [Two who are] Good (or Prosperous) Again”. Volguine has “Brothers Returned (reunited)”. Jupiter is trine Saturn. Since any aspect between two planets can be referred back to the conjunction for meaning, here we look at the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 22ta43 that took place on May 28,2000. About the stars that form a backdrop to the conjunction, Nick Fiorenza [1] writes:


The theme of this area is defined by the stars Botein of Aries [20ta51] and Rana of Eridanus [20ta51]; Botein, although meaning the belly (of the Ram) actually marks the hind foot. At the hind of the Ram, Botein can also indicate those either lost and stranded, or simply left behind (the lost or following sheep), and thus can create a sense of frustration; but this is also a place of an energetic potential about to erupt.

Rana of Eridanus, conjoining Botein, marks another stopping point along the river of life and articulates the theme of those lost or tired through their initiations stopping either in need of aid or regeneration in preparation for what is yet to come.

Nearby Zaurak [23ta52] of Eridanus, (Aratus called Eridanus “The River of Many Tears”) just prior to the Taurian cusp, in late sidereal Aries, is a point of pause along the initiatory river of life where we must hold and trust our own inner light because the path immediately ahead is not entirely visible.

Jupiter[17cn] forms a sesquisquare aspect with Neptune [3pi] which is conjunct alpha Aquarii, a star of  Arabia’s Sa’d al-Akhbiyah, Lucky Star of Hidden Things considered fortunate for the recovery of that which was lost. If we progress the ingress chart to August 5, 2014, the date of the news we will find Neptune conjoins the IC thus triggering the lucky event.
