More than 100 micro pigs running wild in the Welsh
countryside have been shot dead over fears they could attack children. Swansea
Council said the “humane” cull was necessary because of the risk the animals
presented to livestock and welfare agencies were informed. Some of the Kunekune
pigs, which have become popularised as pets by celebrities including David
Beckham, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney, are believed to have escaped from
captivity and bred with farm pigs. As many as 300 of the animals were living in
the Welsh Moor area of the Gower peninsula, the BBC reported, and no owners
could be found to take them. The Independent, Sept. 13 http://ind.pn/1qQFssy
After the
Capricorn Ingress, the Cancer Ingress of the Sun is considered the second most
important map for the year with the duration of its validity extending for a
year. Shown here is the current sidereal Cancer Ingress progressed to September
13, the date of the news.
Notice the
Grand Cross on the horizon axis with Moon [8ar] square the Ascendant [8cp]. The
Moon [8ar] is conjunct stars that form the Chinese asterism T’ien-Houan,
The Celestial Marshes. According to
Schlegel, the Chinese character Houan was composed of a pig in an
enclosure where there is water. This asterism represented marshes in which pigs
were released at the beginning of autumn to start rooting and digging, plowing
up the marshy farmland, cleaning up bad weeds and roots and preparing for the
sowing of next year’s seeds. These marshes were fenced off with a bamboo hedge so the pigs could not
stray nor the farmer fall into it.
In
addition, Uranus [16ar30] is conjunct the star epsilon Piscium that was part of
Wai-P’ing, The Outer Enclosure. This was a bamboo hedge fence around the pig farms and marshes to keep the
animals safely in and people safely outside. Chinese astrologers held that if
stars of this asterism appeared to move, or could not be seen, there would
be illness among the people, caused by the odors of the pig marshes (more
likely from the insects and bacteria that bred in them!) [1]
Uranus-Pluto
squares can manifest constructively or destructively. As Blake Finley [2] points out mass extermination is one of the manifestations of this square.
So we have the two
essential elements of the news in place
in the Grand Cross…the pigs in the marshes with their potential for outbreak of
disease and the need for mass exterminations!
