Dragon with treasure
Knowing how to make an impression can be a useful
skill in business. Chinese entrepreneur Huang Nubo certainly knows how to do
that - before you have even met him. Billionaire Mr Huang is the chair and
founder of property and leisure giant Beijing Zhongkun Investment Group, a firm
he aims to make one of the world's biggest players in the leisure industry in
the next few years. The first thing you notice when you enter his spacious
office in Beijing
is a vast tank, in which a shark is swimming up and down. Not only that, there
are also several cats as well as monkeys and a variety of birds, including
parrots and parakeets. BBC; Oct. 15 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-29612162
To
understand this news we will look at the Full Moon lunar eclipse chart of
October 19, 2013 drawn for Beijing .
On the MC[16le] are stars of Ursa Major, the Great Bear and Draco, the dragon.
The
astrological influences of the constellation of Ursa Major given by Manilius [1]:
"To those born at such a time wild creatures
will show no hostile face, and in their dealings with animals these men will
find them submissive to their rule. Such a one will be able to control huge
lions with a gesture, to fondle wolves, and to play with captive panthers; so
far from shunning the powerful bears that are the kin of the constellation, he
will train them to human accomplishments and feats foreign to their nature; he
will seat himself on the elephant's back and with a goad will direct the
movements of a beast which disgraces its massive weight by yielding to tiny
jabs; he will dispel the fury of the tiger, training it to become a peaceful
animal, whilst all the other beasts which molest the earth with their
savageness he will join in friendship to himself; keen-scented whelps he will
train..." [here the translator notes that eight pages have been lost]
[Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, book 5, p.357, 359]
In mythology dragons are greedy and covetous, and
obsessed with increasing their treasure hoards [2]. Symbolically, this could
represent very rich people sitting on a pile of wealth.
Deborah
Houlding in her excellent book “The
Houses: Temples
of the Sky” gives us the following associations:
Tenth
House
Honour, prestige, reputation, power, control,
dignity, glory, acclaim, advancement - the worldly position. Those in dignified
positions.
Twelfth
House
Large animals.
Sixth
House
Pets and small animals.
The ruler
of the 10th house is the Sun and it is placed in the 12th
– the house linked to large animals. It is also opposite the Moon in the 6th
house of pets. The Sun is conjunct the TNP Apollon which is associated with ‘business’
so that the Sun-Apollon conjunction is referring to someone who has found “recognition
in business” [3]. The tenth lord (Sun) is placed in the twelfth house - a
successful man longs for a rich inner life. He has a fondness for animals.
Aspecting the Ascendant [8sc] are asteroids Artemis
[5sc], Diana [8aq] and Poseidon [2aq]. Both Diana and Artemis refer to animals
with Poseidon these can also be marine animals [4] like the shark mentioned in
the news.
Notice that
retrograde Mercury [25li] has just triggered the eclipse Sun [25li]. Also progressing
the eclipse chart to October 15, the date of the news, aligns the horizon and
meridian axis with Moon-Poseidon-Artemis-Diana!
