A blunder – apparently
the merest chance – reveals an unsuspected world and the individual is drawn
into a relationship with forces that are not rightly understood. As Freud has
shown blunders are not the merest chance. They are the results of suppressed
desires and conflicts. They are ripples on the surface of life produced by
unsuspected springs. And these may be very deep – as deep as the Soul itself. The
blunder may amount to the opening of a destiny.

Kenyans on social media have been gripped by a love
story between a Kenyan woman of Indian descent, and a man from the Bukusu
ethnic group. Kenyans on Twitter are in a distinctly lovey-dovey mood. "A
village Cinderella story," tweeted one woman. "Love beyond culture,
colour, religion... simply amazing."
"This is like a movie. I can't believe what my
eyes are seeing," wrote one man. And so it goes on...Much of the
discussion is on the hashtag #MyBukusuDarling, which has now been used more
than 8,000 times. BBC; July 31 http://bbc.in/UDI3so
Among
Cardinal Ingress charts, the Capricorn Ingress of the Sun holds a special position and is considered an
annual chart by many astrologers so that the progression of the angles over
important planetary configurations mark days on which significant events occur. Shown here is the sidereal Capricorn
Ingress at Nairobi , Nigeria .
There are
at least two important things to notice in this chart. First , that the MC
makes harmonious aspects to Venus-Pluto and Moon-Jupiter legs of the Grand
Cross. Second, the star Praesepe,
M44 Cancri [7cn24] also referred to as “The Beehive”, the “Manger” or “Crib” is placed on the descendant. Nick Fiorenza’s [1] description of Praesepe is
extracted below:
Praesepe embodies the essence of the Scarab /
Cancer theme: emergence out of darkness, dogma, and delusion, out of the
antiquated entrapments we had been living in, and our transmutation from
darkness into light. Praesepe is of new beginnings, migration, shedding old
skins, skeletons, and cocoons. It is of emerging out of the frenetic confusion
of mass consciousness; finding our new path and direction; leaving behind
old dwellings and the structures of consciousness they represent; and
getting out of our personal or collective dogma and the darkness it creates.
Progressing
the chart to July 31 brings the Grand Cross prominently to the angles
triggering the entire configuration. About Venus-Pluto, Steven Forrest [2] writes
Venus-Pluto
Here the “Goddess of Love” encounters the “God of
Hell,” the prognosis may seem grim. However, if individuals have done enough
deep self-scrutiny to have achieved a degree of liberty from their wounds..they
are, for example, not controlled
unconsciously by parental scripts of approval and disapproval. They are
willing, in their relationships to “cross lines of taboo” .
Putting the foregoing together we can see how the
two lovers have lived up completely to the challenges described which explains
why their love story has touched a deep chord in the public consciousness.
[It is also
significant that currently in the
heavens Venus is opposite Pluto (exact
on July 28)]
