Pictoris – the Painter’s
Easel
Scientists have identified some of the earliest
cave paintings produced by humans. The artworks are in a rural area on the Indonesian Island
of Sulawesi . Until now, paintings this old had
been confirmed in caves only in Western Europe .
Researchers tell the journal Nature that the Indonesian discovery transforms
ideas about how humans first developed the ability to produce art. There are human
figures, and pictures of wild hoofed animals (bovids that appear to look like
goats) that are found only on the island. Dr Maxime Aubert, of Griffith University
in Queensland , Australia ,
who dated the paintings found in Maros in Southern
Sulawesi , explained that one of them (shown immediately below) was
probably the earliest of its type. The discovery of the Indonesian cave art is
important because it shows the beginnings of human intelligence as we
understand it today. BBC; October 8. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-29415716
To
understand this we will look at the lunar eclipse chart of April 15, 2014 drawn
for Maros. The eclipse Moon [25li] is conjunct the star Spica, alpha Virginis
[24li]. This was part of the Indian lunar mansion Chitra.
Citraa connotes the idea of a picture. Citraa
denotes a picture, a wonderful picture with bright colours or a sketch that
srikes the eyes; something that arrests attention. It attaches with it
varieties, wonderment or that which dazzles [1]
The Sun is
[25ar] conjunct the asteroid 2002 TX300
[26ar]. This is an asteroid that has not
yet been named. However, Nick Fiorenza’s [2] research suggests that some hint of what the asteroid
stands for can be known through its four orbital parameters – the South and
North Nodes and the Aphelion and Perihelion. For our purpose here we will
simply look at the stars that form the backdrop to the Nodes. For TX300, the South Node is at 24leo32 while
the North Node is at 24aq32. The star Alpha Pictoris [24le] in the
constellation of the Painter’s Easel conjoins the South Node while Delta (δ)
Capricornus, Deneb Algedi, [24aq] , a star in the Sea Goat's tail [3] is on the
North Node. In the present context this
asteroid is obviously referring to the painting of a goat!

Incidentally,
the asteroid Pallas [25le] that is linked to perceptual skills is also conjunct
alpha Pictoris – the Painter’s easel.
About the
effect of stars conjunct Venus [10pi], which forms hard aspect to the eclipse
axis Diana Rosenberg tells us:
Here the stars of Pegasus and Cygnus the Swan
contribute to imaginations that fly high. There is an involvement with the
primitive - a love of ancient knowledge,
traditions and deep sources of national, racial or tribal inheritance. The
Arabic “Luck of Hidden Things” manifests in interesting ways producing
archaeologists and discoveries of ancient art and artifacts [4].

the chart aligns the horizon with the radix Sun [25ar16] and Moon [25li16]
