Indian drug companies are making the US look like 'the world's fools'







There may be a long trip to India in your future if you have hepatitis C. That’s because the Indian Patent Office recently rejected Gilead Sciences’ application for a patent on Sovaldi. You may remember Sovaldi, the nearly miraculous “cure” for hep C that was approved by the FDA a little more than a year ago. Gilead decided to market the drug at a nice round number — $1,000 per pill — and that decision has been controversial ever since. A 12-week course of treatment runs about $84,000.

Cardinal Ingresses of the Sun are important tools in mundane astrology. Of these the Capricorn Ingress is held my many astrologers to be the most important. Shown here is the chart for the sidereal Capricorn Ingress of the Sun at Delhi, India.  Notice the T-square comprising Kronos-Hades-Uranus-Pluto straddling the horizon axis.  The key elements are delineated below:

Pluto-Hades: to hear of criminal activities in the world of big business.
Uranus-Pluto: a struggle between the rights of individuals (Uranus in Aries)  and the power of big business (Pluto in Capricorn).
Kronos-Hades: Authorities uphold laws to benefit the masses.

The Ascendant forms aspect to the 6th house Saturn square 9th house Neptune. The 9th house rules the legal system, lawsuits etc. [1] while the 6th house is connected to public health issues [1] and by association to medicines and drugs so that legal battles over drug patents are suggested. Reinforcing the 6th house issues are the stars that form the backdrop to Saturn (Ophiuchus-the medicine man) and Neptune (the ancient goddess of healing Gula and Aquarius, the humanitarian water pourer).






Progressing the Ingress chart to March 25, the date of the news, brings the Saturn-Neptune square to the horizon axis triggering the event.





Finally, readers are urged to just look at the images of the constellations occupied by Saturn and Neptune to see that the conflict can be understood pictorially. Realistic and business-like Saturn occupies the constellation Ophiuchus, the medicine man, while compassionate Neptune, the planet that does not believe in boundaries, is in the constellation of Aquarius pouring the water unconditionally for all who thirst.
