Among other
things, the 9th house in mundane astrology rules the law courts as well as long distance travel. In yesterday’s
post on India
Let us
first look at the Jupiter [14le] transit over the Ascendant [13le] trine Uranus
[13ar] which is part of the Grand Cross containing the Uranus-Pluto square. The
Uranus-Pluto square is about the process of transformation in which an old
corrupt order is collapsing (Pluto in Capricorn). Here the Jupiter transit
serves as an activating trigger. Uranus [13ar] is conjunct the star Alderamin
[1] about which Nick Fiorenza writes:
Alderamin, [12ar]
the Alpha star of Cepheus, is the right shoulder of King Cepheus, father
of the Royal Family and Princess Andromeda, often portraying one in an
authoritative position. With afflicted alignments, Alderamin can expresses as
denial, avoidance, or turning one's head from dealing with the manipulative
power plays causing our or other people's entrapment with a flippant attitude
to do anything about them. Here we can live in submission to manipulative
forces rather than to stand up for self and for those unjustly held in bondage,
even when it is our responsibility to do so. With empowered alignments,
Alderamin impels impartial and emotionally clearheaded authoritarian action to
address entrapping situations in a way that provides resolution. Alderamin
ultimately provides aid or solution, but often after what may seem like an
initial aloofness. Alpheratz and Alderamin amalgamate to form a fortunate
outcome, but sometimes drawn out through the emotional Piscean waters, and a
long period of unwillingness or simple naivete to look at and acknowledge how we are immersed in a pool of
psycho-emotional denial, and that our growth and maturity is prerequisite to
our greater freedom of being.
This description
fits perfectly the situation concerning the coal scam where the Supreme Court
has come to the rescue of the Indian public after almost 20 years of corruption
by Indian politicians in the allotment of licences for coal mines.
Terming the
Supreme Court's ruling cancelling 214 coal blocks as "a bit harsh",
Assocham President Rana Kapoor said: "Our main concern is on the kind of
negative impact on the economy which has just been showing signs of recovery
after over two years of slowdown".
This
statement too can be understood if we look at the Jupiter-Pluto opposition in
the Grand Cross activated now. Here I
quote Steven Forrest on Jupiter-Pluto.
Under hard aspects between Pluto and Jupiter, faith
is embattled. Perhaps someone has gone down a road for the wrong reasons. Under
hard aspects illusions are challenged. The trick lies in realising that your
life as you are living it is inadequate to meet your spiritual and emotional
needs, and that half the reason that’s true is that you have believed far too
many lies all your life. The other half of the reason is that you’ve grown and
changed, and what used to be satisfying and believable is now barren and false.
Comforting but phony elements of life must be released and new possibilities
seized under less than auspicious circumstances.
Finally, we
look at the progression of the lunar eclipse chart to Sept 24. We find the
Grand Cross triggered by the progressed meridian. On the MC with Mars are stars
of Virgo and the evil Hydra.
The
constellation Virgo was sometimes
identified with the virgin goddess
Iustitia or Astraea, holding the scales of justice in her hand as the
constellation Libra. Interestingly,
many of the other mythological female figures who were believed to represent
Virgo include Dike (Greek mythology), and Erigone (Roman mythology), all of
whom represented Justice. Once you realize that Libra (the scales of justice)
is the next sign in the zodiac following Virgo, suddenly things begin to make
more sense.
With both the
Virgin and the Hydra here there can be issues of morality vs amorality,
corruption and greed vs justice for sins committed.
Describing
the star background in this area Diana Rosenberg writes [3].
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.
Our
September 24, 2014 New Moon conjoins the Dwarf Planet Makemake [2]. About this
newly discovered planet Nick Fiorenza writes:
Makemake
Makemake is the Polynesian name for the creator god
of humanity in the mythology of the South Pacific island
of Rapa Nui (Easter
Island ). Makemake was recently discovered on March 31, 2005, and
thus its astrological influence is exploratory. Based upon an exploration of
Makemake’s orbital parameters and its recent role during the 2008-2011 economic
turn, Makemake appears to bring attention to leadership issues regarding the
administration of resources; and in areas involving economics, ecology and
human survival. Makemake may also impel strategic planning and enterprising
action to create environmental conditions that ensure a healthy, prosperous
and abundant life for groups or for the people in general. Makemake may
also act to sort out those who are truly worthy of being in a leadership role
from those who are not. Makemake impels audacious action and extraordinary
feats of personal accomplishment that serve the greater wellbeing of the
people.
