Drowning Eagle Rescued by Fisherman

Bootes – the Good Shepherd

When Don Dunbar went fishing on September 8, a young bald eagle probably wasn’t the catch he had in mind. But that’s what he got as he encountered the waterlogged raptor floundering in the waters of Nanoose Bay (map) in British Columbia, Canada. The raw video Dunbar shot while bringing the bird on board using a net has gone viral. When the stunned youngster proved unable to fly, Dunbar brought it to a local wildlife rescue center, O.W.L. Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society, of Delta, British Columbia. http://bit.ly/ZDY1p3

The April 15 Total Lunar Eclipse [25li] was conjunct the asteroids  Ceres [25li] and Vesta [23] and the dwarf planet Haumea [20li] [1]. Ceres and Haumea are both linked to our caring for the environment. The dwarf planet Haumea is regarded as a protecter  guardian, and nurturer and produces individuals who act in accord with nature and the natural world, and  express a new level of awareness about what is truly life supportive [2].

The Full Moon also conjoined the stars Spica, alpha Virgo , the Virgin and Archturus, alpha Bootis, the herdsman or shepherd. To the Arabs he was Al Haris al Soma, Protector of Heaven  and Al Haris al Samak, Protector of the Defenceless One. As a symbol, the shepherd-herdsman is a caring father-figure. In ancient Greece the Herdsman, Orpheus-Boukolos, was the Good Shepherd with a ram or kid on his shoulder. The pastoral shepherd symbolizes support, protection, authority, guidance and mercy.

The eclipse Full Moon forms a stellium with planets on the MC. These comprise Mars, Zeus, Vesta and Ceres. Nick Fiorenza points out that this makes the Full Moon eclipse a part of the Grand Cross and should be treated as such [1].  Here Mars and the TNP Zeus are conjunct the star Seginus, gamma Bootis on the left  shoulder of the Herdsman. Seginus inspires responsible action to provide personal and intimate support by making possible and ensuring proper energetic environments and bio-logical physical conditions are created for the well being of others.

Aquila-the Eagle

In the Grand Cross Pluto is conjunct the star 4 Aquilae, in the wing of the eagle. Jupiter is opposite Pluto in tropical Cancer – a combination associated with caring and nurturance.

Progressing the eclipse chart to September 8, the date of the rescue brings the Mars and Zeus in the Grand Cross to the IC from their position on the MC in the radix thereby triggering the issues mentioned above.
