Swansea 'micro pigs' culled for public safety



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!
