Giant gold 'Butte Nugget’ sells to secret Bay Area buyer



Just one day after it was unveiled to awed crowds in San Francisco, the whopping 'Butte Nugget’ of gold sold Friday (Oct.24) to a “prominent Bay Area collector” for an undisclosed amount of money, according to the company brokering the deal. “The new owner wants to be secretive, so we can’t name him,” said Don Kagin of Tiburon, the coin dealer who acted as middle-man between the buyer and the prospector who found the 6.07-pound gold lump — the biggest nugget of its kind found in modern times in Gold Rush country. http://bit.ly/10uylMF






The Full Moon lunar eclipse of April 14, 2014 at San Francisco had the Sun [25ar] placed in the fourth house and part of a Grand Cross that straddled the meridian axis. About the fourth house Deborah Houlding writes:

This house also rules hidden treasure and the treasures of the earth, such as mines and minerals, gems, oil, wells and water supplies; Lilly notes: "profit out of the bowels of the Earth". http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h4.html

The Sun [25ar] is conjunct  dim stars of the gold bedecked Queen Cassiopeia. About this constellation  Manilius wrote:


"From Cassiope come the enhancement of beauty and devices for adorning the body: from gold has been sought the means to give grace to the appearance; precious stones have been spread over head, neck, and hands and golden chains have shone on snow-white feet. What products would a grand lady like Cassiope prefer her sons to handle rather than those she could turn to her own employments? And that material for such employment should not be lacking, she bids men look for gold beneath the ground, uproot all which nature stealthily conceals, and turn earth upside down in search of gain; she bids them detect the treasure in lumps of ore and finally, for all its reluctance, expose it to a sky it has never seen". [Manilius, Astronomica, book 5, 1st century AD, p.343.]


Progressing the eclipse chart to Oct. 24 brings the eclipse Sun and South Node to the MC triggering the event.
