Saturn-Neptune and the 200 yr old Buddhist Master




This extraordinary picture shows the mummifed male body which is believed to be several centuries old. It was found  at 6.30 pm 27 January 2015 in Songinokhairkhan province, reported Mongolia's 'Morning Newspaper'. It was not clear if it was the skin of a cow, horse, or camel, said the report. The mummy was delivered to Ulaanbataar National Centre of Forensic Expertise'. Initial speculation is that the mummy could be a teacher of famous Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov. Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov, born in 1852, was a Buryat Buddhist Lama of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, best known for the lifelike state of his body. His remains were reported not to be subject to macroscopic decay. 'The mummified body sits in a lotus position, as if still meditating. 'Experts that only had time to carry basic visual test say they believe the body can be about 200 years old'. http://bit.ly/16xEiL4





Shown here is the chart for the First Quarter Moon of Jan.27 at Ulaanbataar. The Moon [7ta] is placed very appropriately in the 12th  – a house connected with mystics and saints who pursue their spiritual endeavours in isolation from the world [1]. The Sun [7aq] and the MC [3aq] are conjunct Alpha (α) Aquila, Altair, a star in the constellation of  the Eagle and theta Indus in the constellation of Indus. The eagle is a high flying bird – a metaphor for mystics, occultists, and wise spiritual hierophants of mystery-religions whose spiritual endeavours aim to transcend the limitations of the body. Indus is a southern constellation and usually represented by an Indian or a native and keeper of sacred places [2]

Finally, notice that the Moon [6ta55] is conjunct the Kronos-Neptune midpoint [7ta09]. Neptune is linked to meditative/spiritual practices[3] in general. Kronos [4] is a TNP that is associated with authorities or masters in their field so that the combination of Neptune-Kronos is here referring to a mystic or a master of spiritual or meditative techniques.

Also emphasized in the  First Quarter Moon chart is the Saturn-Neptune square brought into prominence by its placement on the horizon axis. About Saturn-Neptune.  Bill Streett [5] in his brilliant essay “The Desert of the Real: The Saturn-Neptune Gestalt” writes:

The Saturn-Neptune religious response is seen in the world-renouncing, cloistered ascetic—a sort of anemic, self-flagellating character that is aimed at purifying the bodily and worldly so as to arrive at a state of essence.
