A Saturn-Neptune New Moon brings Surprise Execution Moratorium







Although Pennsylvania's new Governor Tom Wolf, who last November unseated Republican incumbent Tom Corbett, cited more than 315 million solid reasons to back his surprise order putting an immediate moratorium on executions in Pennsylvania, law enforcement organizations in the state still castigated his action, calling it an outrageous assault on a criminal justice system that they contend works well.  When Wolf announced his imposition of a moratorium on executions due to a disturbing history of abuses and errors in death penalty prosecutions in the state with the fifth largest death row in the country, he cited a damning statistic overlooked in most news media accounts of his recent action.  Feb. 16 http://thiscantbehappening.net/print/2665







This good news comes on the eve of a New Moon is Pisces. A chart drawn for the New Moon at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania  is shown here. Here the Sun rules the 12th house while Moon rules the 11th.

Twelfth  house
The prison system; reformatories;  concentration camps and those kept in slavery or bondage. [1]

Eleventh house
Long term national programs and schemes for improvement [2]

So we can see that the New Moon is already referring to prison reforms. We then find that the New Moon is conjunct Neptune in Pisces on the descendant square Saturn on the IC. Think of Saturn as  linked to walls, containers and boundaries and Neptune as a “fluid” ( metaphorically - feelings of empathy, compassion) dissolving or leaking past those boundaries. Just a few days back I had posted a blog [3] on an accident in which freight cars (Saturn)  carrying oil had derailed and the oil had leaked (Neptune) into a river. There we had identified the Saturn-Neptune aspect as the cause of the accident. It just takes a little imagination to see that the same combination is working here too.  Saturn is those harsh laws that are condemning those prisoners to death row while Neptune is the  feeling of compassion rising in the heart of the Governor pushing him to put an immediate moratorium on executions.

About Neptune in Pisces Stariq wrote [4]:

Neptune in Pisces: Compassion shifts from an idealistic concept to an active energy that puts us in touch with one another in a more emotional way. The last time Neptune was in Pisces—from 1847 through 1862—concern for others was reflected in the abolitionist movement to end slavery in the United States and to free the serfs in Russia. It’s likely that this transit of Neptune will again put issues of injustice and inequality into the spotlight .

Also notice that Neptune [6pi] is conjunct stars in the great urn of Aquarius, with its eternally flowing all-forgiving waters of heaven while Saturn [4sa] is conjunct delta (δ) Ophiuchus, Yed Prior [3sa]. In Euphratean tablets it is referred to as “Man of Death” possibly a reference to those who are chosen to die. Putting the two together it is not too difficult to see why the Governor has done what he has.
