One of two British explorer ships that vanished in
the Arctic more than 160 years ago has been found, Canada 's prime minister says. Stephen
Harper said it was unclear which ship had been found, but photo evidence
confirmed it was one of them. Sir John Franklin led the two ships and 129 men
in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage in the
Canadian Arctic. The expedition's disappearance shortly after became one of the
great mysteries of the age of Victorian exploration. BBC; Sept 9 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29131757
Rear-Admiral
Sir John Franklin (16 April 1786 – 11 June 1847) was a British Royal Navy
officer and Arctic explorer. Franklin also
served as Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania
for several years. He disappeared on his last expedition, attempting to chart
and navigate a section of the Northwest Passage
in the Canadian Arctic. The icebound ships were abandoned and the entire crew
perished from starvation, hypothermia, tuberculosis, lead poisoning and scurvy.
Shown here
is the chart for the solar eclipse of November 3, 2013 drawn for Ottawa , Canada .
The eclipse is placed in the 12th house that rules things that have remained hidden…those
that deal with unfortunate events and self undoing as the following reference
from Skyscript indicates:
The 12th house represents matters that are hidden,
restrained, secret, incapable of action or of being fully understood. Traditionally,
however, it is a wholly unfortunate house, associated with sad events,
sorrow and all manner of affliction and self-undoing. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h12.html
The eclipse
[11sc] is conjunct the stars phi and tau Herculis [11sc50;14sc34] and kappa
Carinae [13sc34] in the celestial ship Argo’s keel. Also on the Ascendant [22sc26]
of the chart is sigma Herculis [23sc26]. Apart from listing “shipwrecks” among possible
events for these stars, Diana Rosenberg writes:
“Capable of a stubborn gallantry and courage
against great odds; they do not necessarily follow the crowd; wilful, rash,
headstrong, self-indulgent, they do things their own way, and the defiant,
daredevil nature of Hercules may lead to unwise, careless, even reckless
speculation and (sometimes) its comeuppance, with a possible loss of position
and/or reputation”.
Another
significant feature of the eclipse chart is the position of Mars opposite Neptune aligned with the meridian axis. Martha Wescott
describes the Mars-Neptune dynamics as follows. Do we see Mars energy trapped
by the Neptunian waters? Neptune (water) is
square the TNP Admetus (cold) [1] – the combination being a symbol for frozen
water (ice). Incidentally, Mars and the MC are conjunct the stars beta Sextant
and Al Wazn, lambda Velorum of the ship Argo.
You may see
some dissipation of a person's physical
energy or will--or be aware of situations where
there's something hidden...that affects impetus, action, or
strength. To practice for all this,
pretend you're standing in chest deep water
and try to run as fast as you can....see???! You might "give up before ya' got very far"--and that's a clue to
another sign of the muddy waters that
attend attempts to "do something."
Progressing
the chart to September 9, 2014, the date of the news, brings a Grand Cross to
an alignment with the angles with Mars and Sun forming a Yod with the
descendant and Uranus. On the MC [14cn] is the star Canopus [15cn], the brightest star of the
ship Argo and on the Ascendant [10li] is mu Velorum in the sail of Argo.
Uranus (Aries)
on the descendant square Pluto (Capricorn) is a perfect symbol for a daredevil
pioneer (Aries) in the service of king
and empire (Capricorn).
Finally the
TNP Zeus on the Ascendant is square the Kronos-Hades on the MC.
ZEUS: Restrained or creative fire/energy;
enthusiasm; controlled & directed forces (thus both planning and
controlling strong emotions;) ability to harness energies for accomplishment.
HADES: messy situations; mistakes.
Hades-Zeus
Errors based on a lack of planning, training; failure to complete the task at
hand.
PS:
Sir John Franklin (born 16 April 1786) had his Sun
[26ar] in tropical Aries – the sign of the explorer-pioneer. There was a Grand
Cross in his chart comprising Zeus [13ar] – Neptune
[15li] – Uranus [17cn] – Admetus [16cp] with Hades [12sc] making a quincunx
aspect to the Zeus leg [13ar]. The
current Uranus-Pluto square is transiting over the radix Grand Cross. Also note
that the November 3, 2013 eclipse fell
on his radix Hades highlighting the issues connected with the same planet and
TNP combinations discussed above.
