Forced to pick cotton, grow cannabis, prostitute
themselves, fight wars or clean up after the wealthy -- some 35.8 million
people are currently trapped in modern-day slavery, a new report said Monday. The 2014 Global Slavery Index (GSI), in its
second annual report, said new methods showed some 20 percent more people were
enslaved across the world than originally thought. "There is an assumption
that slavery is an issue from a bygone era. Or that it only exists in countries
ravaged by war and poverty," said Andrew Forrest, chairman of the
Australian-based Walk Free Foundation which produced the report. Nov.17 [1]
To
understand the astrology behind this news we will look at the chart for the Lunar
Eclipse of April 15, 2014 drawn for Perth ,
Western Australia where Walk Free Foundation is headquartered.
The Full Moon [25li] makes a sesquisquare aspect
to the Venus-Neptune conjunction placed on the descendant. Neptune [6pi] is
conjunct alpha (α) Piscis Austrinus, Fomalhaut, [4pi] a reddish star in the mouth of the Southern
Fish, Piscis Austrinus while Venus
[10pi] is conjunct stars in the Water-pourer’s urn. The Southern Fish is
usually depicted on star maps at the feet of Aquarius, where it swallows up the
water poured from his urn. Symbolically, the combination is referring to taking care of the needy.
The eclipse
Sun [25ar] is conjunct 22 Andromedae [24ar37] a star in the chained right hand
of the woman – a perfect symbol for slavery. The Full Moon [25li] is conjunct the stars Spica, alpha Virgo ,
the Virgin and Arcturus, 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.
In addition,
the Moon [25li] is conjunct the asteroid Ceres [25li] and the dwarf planet
Haumea [20li]. Haumea appears to
motivate action to reorient the current
destructive use of power and resources by those in authority into a nurturing
force that supports and protects life, home and family for all [2].
Progressing
the eclipse chart to Nov.17, the day the GSI report was released, brings the
Venus-Neptune conjunction to the MC triggering the event.
