The multi-crore Saradha ponzi scam has now come
knocking at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's door. It now appears that, back in 2010, when Ms
Banerjee was the Union Railway minister, the Saradha Group had bagged a
contract with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, or IRCTC. It
puts out of court her claims that she was not too familiar with the group till
it went bust in 2013.
Numerous allegations had been raised about the
links between the Group -- which cheated thousands of people who invested in
its schemes - and Ms Banerjee's party and government. But her role had never
come under the scanner. India Today, Sept.2 http://bit.ly/1q55LM6
Shown here
is the chart for the last solar eclipse of April 29 drawn for Calcutta
Schedar, Alpha Cassiopeia, the head of the Queen,
tightly conjoining Hamal, impels somewhat of a prideful and arrogant tone,
often a head-trip of being lost in the glitter of power upon the human stage.
Immature challenge and boast can express here with ramifications only
accentuating the drama of the tightening jaws of fear-based collective
consciousness (Cetus) and the butting response provided by the head of the Ram.
Hamal and Schedar can express as power struggles amongst leaders or those who are
headstrong, with lessons about how arrogance creates struggle in the material
world; and how compassion opens the way through. [1]
The eclipse
is in a quincunx aspect to the Mars leg of the powerful and transformative
Grand Cross containing Uranus-Pluto. It is also opposite Saturn in Scorpio.
Libra is
the sign that is often linked to the act
of people coming together in some kind of a partnership – business or personal.
Scorpio – the sign that follows Libra – represents the fruits of the
association. These fruits can take the form of a business boom, when the
possibility to make trading and human association extraordinarily profitable
occurs. For participants the desire for
unprecedented profits (psychological as well as financial) can reach an extreme of intensity at times
when entirely new opportunities for personal and group expansion and desires
arise. Therefore, Scorpio also presents a test for the participants – a test of
integrity and honesty. And Saturn transits through Scorpio represents such
karmic times when failures in this test are brought to light.
Progressing
the eclipse chart to September 2, the date of the new report, brings the Grand
Cross containing the Uranus-Pluto-Mars to
the meridian axis. Mars[12li] is
conjunct the stars Vindemiatrix [10li]
of the Virgin and omicron Hydrae [11li]. Describing the star background
in this area Diana Rosenberg writes.
Few other skyscapes are so polarized between light
and dark, clear air and suffocating darkness, with a tremendous conflict
between the Virgin’s honest, upright will-to-do good and the Hydra’s dark lair
of greed, sensuality and arrogant self-interest; some are tempted to
dishonesty, become involved in scandals and have trouble with the law; there
are both oppressions and struggles against them and transits to these stars
often bring about major changes in laws, mores, governments and ways of
thinking often preceded, accompanied or followed by witch hunts. [2]
Ms. Banerjee,
the Chief Minister, was born on January 5, 1955. Note that Pluto [14cp] – the opener
of the can of worms – is conjunct her radix Sun [14cp].
