Love is forever





Even in death, a couple married for nearly 62 years were inseparable. Don and Maxine Simpson from Bakersfield, California, died four hours apart on adjoining beds, holding hands during some of their final hours. Melissa Sloan said her grandmother died first and when her body was removed from the room, her husband followed. "All Don wanted was to be with his beautiful wife. He adored my grandmother, loved her to the end of the earth," she told KERO-TV. BBC; Aug 6. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-28677585






Shown here is the chart for the Cancer Ingress of the Sun at Bakersfield, California. Notice Venus in  its exaltation in Taurus on the Ascendant in  aspect to Pluto.




Progressing the ingress  to August 6, the date of the story, we notice that the Ascendant [14cn] is at the reaction point of a T-square comprising Mars-Uranus-Pluto with passionate Pluto in a sharp sesquisquare with Venus, the planet of love, in enduring Taurus. One of the most positive expressions of Venus-Pluto is a committed relationship in which the pattern of intimacy grows in harmony with deeper changes in oneself.

The following asteroids make hard aspects to the horizon axis: Requiem [13cn]; Amor [8cn]; Orpheus [8cp]; Eros [10cp]; Astraea [8ar].

AMOR: the understanding of what LOVE is/means
ASTRAEA: staying to the end
EROS:  the Will to Live (the passion for life and love)
REQUIEM: As well as a connection to the ceremonies of death (and the formalization of grief,) Requiem stands for a place of acceptance, a cessation of struggle.
ORPHEUS: Death

AMOR-ASTRAEA : Love is forever.
EROS-ORPHEUS: The “will to live” ends with the someone’s death


Finally, notice the star on the progressed Ascendant is Sirius, alpha Canis Majoris – the Dog Star. This star is known for fidelity, faithfulness and commitment which Don and Maxine Simpson’s lives amply demonstrated.
