Jyoti
Singh, 23, had cause to celebrate. It was no ordinary Sunday. “Happiness was
just a few steps away,” says her father, Badri Singh, a labourer. He and his
wife, Asha, originally from Uttar Pradesh, had sold their family land, to
provide schooling not just for their two sons but also Jyoti. “Papa,” Jyoti had
instructed her father. “Whatever money you’ve saved for my wedding, use it for
my education.” Badri’s brothers wondered why he was wasting money on a girl. On
this Sunday, 16 December 2012, Jyoti, a name that means light and happiness,
had just completed her medical exams to become a doctor. Speaking excellent
English, she spent nights working in a call centre from 8pm until 4am, slept
for three hours, then studied. Her ambition was to build and run a hospital in
her family’s village. “A girl can do anything,” she would say. March 1 http://bit.ly/1LYL9en
The story of
the rape of 23 year old Jyoti in Delhi is being aired by BBC at a Venus-Pluto
square. A chart drawn for the square shows it prominently placed in aspect to
the meridian with Venus also conjunct Mars-Uranus.
When Pluto is
in aspect with Venus, he slowly creeps up on her and pounces. Of all the
planets – Pluto is the most secretive, his motives are never immediately
apparent – and there is something in the essence of Venus which makes her
almost always ripe for ambush. The myth of
the Rape of Persephone is essentially an
account of the dynamics of
Venus-Pluto aspects.
Named for the
god of war, Mars represents such often-disowned functions as anger, aggression,
and competitiveness. At its best and its most conscious level this is the
energy that defends us on our journey. But it also has a negative side, it is
our capacity to be a victim, to set ourselves up as targets – and then in the
anger such painful, humiliating events
leave in their wake to seek to create pain in others. Pluto represents our will
to power, and because power is so often abused, is typically disavowed and
projected onto others.
