Homeless cat saves abandoned baby in Russia



Felis on the Uranographia of Johann Bode (1801)


A baby boy not older than 12 weeks has been found in a box on a staircase in an apartment block in the Russian town of Obninsk. The box was meant for a cat, who – after having found a new soul in misery, warmed up the baby and was worried to let him go. Jan.15 http://rt.com/news/223027-cat-saves-abandoned-baby/





To understand this news we will look at the chart for the Full Moon lunar eclipse of April 15, 2014.

 The eclipse Moon [25li]  was conjunct the stars Spica, [24li] alpha Virgo, the Virgin and Arcturus, [24li] alpha Bootis, the herdsman or shepherd. To the Arabs, Arcturus  was Al Haris al Soma, Protector of Heaven  and Al Haris al Samak, Protector of the Defenceless One (Spica). Bootes is often portrayed as a Shepherd who cares for flock and at times looking for those animals which may haven been lost.

Notice that the eclipse luminaries form a Grand Cross with the horizon axis. Also because of the stellium Mars-Vesta-Ceres-Moon that translates light, the eclipse should be considered to be anchored to the Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter-Mars Grand Cross.








Progressing the chart to January 15, the date of the news, aligns the Grand Cross with the horizon axis. If we remember that Uranus (in Aries) can be a selfish planet, it is not too difficult to imagine that it could have caused the mother  to want to set herself free from the oppressive responsibilities of bringing up the baby. But then on the Ascendant is an exalted Jupiter [13cn] in caring and motherly Cancer along with the asteroid Child [16cn] that came to the aid of the baby in the form of a concerned and loving cat! And now guess what – on  the  IC of the chart [1vi] are the stars of the constellation Felis – the cat!!






Finally, let us look at the chart for the prevailing Last Quarter Moon phase of January 13. Notice that the Moon [23li] is conjunct Arcturus – the Protector of the Defenceless One – in the 6th house associated with small animals like the cat here. The luminaries aspect the Mars-Saturn-Neptune square placed prominently straddling the horizon. If Saturn is the planet of difficulties and hardships, Mars-Neptune has been linked to sensitivity and compassion and is often found in the horoscopes of social workers and those who fight for the underdog in some way. So wasn’t the loving kitty fulfilling the cosmic energies in such a "warm" way!
