We
pushed through The Oval’s doors, lifted aside a velvet curtain – and
immediately smelled whiskey. Candles illuminated the back bar and dozens of
bottles glinted in the dim light. Six musicians squeezed into a large corner
booth at the entrance, their instruments close by and pints even closer. But no
fiddles or flutes were in sight – this was no ordinary night of traditional
Irish music. The group burst into the 1928 jazz standard, Digga Digga Doo, a
banjo, bassoon, trumpet and trombone playing alongside a tuba. A brunette with
two braids sang, her voice a throaty, sexy sandpaper. My partner used the
narrow space between the barroom and the next room to toss me into a swing out,
the basic step of lindy hop. No Irish jigs could be seen. BBC; Oct.13. http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20140930-swing-takes-over-the-emerald-isle
To
understand the astrology behind this news we will look at the chart for the
Waning Gibbous Moon of Oct. 11 at Cork ,
Ireland
One method
that astrologers use to understand newly discovered bodies is by combining the
influence of stars that form the backdrop to the Node and Perhelion.
The North
Node of Cyllarus [21ta57] is conjunct the stars omicron Tauri of the Bull, and
65 Andromedae in the Chained Woman’s right foot. The sensuality of Taurus
favours acting and dancing. It is part of the Vedic lunar mansion Krittika whose “major lesson is finding pleasurable activities that are truly
healing and revitalizing. [1]”.
The
perihelion of Cyllarus [24pi] is conjunct Markab, alpha Pegasi[24pi] - the saddle or the physical vehicle upon which
soul rides or expresses through to accomplish its Earthian mission. Markab [2] brings to the forefront issues about our bodies
and physical health. Sports (especially skating), music, dance and choreography
are favoured since this is the Vedic mansion of “happy feet” and the area of
Pegaus’ prancing legs! [3]
Philip
Sedgwick in his “The Soul of the Sky” confirms this analysis.
Cyllarus epitomizes the sensuality known to be a
desired part of the centaurian lifestyle. With the combination of a directing,
soothing node in Taurus and the sensitivity seeking Piscean perihelion, the
essence of gentle, tactile involvement in life comes about. The essence here promotes
physical healing within the concept of creating positive, physical feelings of
wellness.
So if this
is what the Centaur Cyllarus is about, we would expect the T-square containing
Venus-Uranus-Pluto to awaken our sensuality. Also the asteroid Eros [11cp] on the descendant completes our understanding
of the message contained in the Gibbous Moon.
EROS:
Sexuality; the heart & cardiac system; the history, experience and
behavioral repertoire of eroticism; joie de vivre; the Will to Live (the
passion for life.) [4]
