Pioneering head transplant surgery in Russia







The first man set to undergo a head transplant has been revealed, saying that he finds the controversial surgery “very scary, but also very interesting”. Valery Spiridinov is set to be the first person to undergo the operation. It will be carried out by controversial Italian doctor Sergio Canavero, whose optimistic plans have mostly been met with scepticism. But Spiridonov — who has the rare genetic Werdnig-Hoffman disease, which gradually wastes away muscles — says that he is willing to undergo the risky procedure to give himself a chance at living in a healthy body. “Am I afraid? Yes, of course I am. But it is not just very scary, but also very interesting,” Spiridonov, speaking from his house in the Russian town of Vladimir about 120 miles from Moscow, told MailOnline.

The chart for the lunar eclipse of April 4 at Vladimir is shown here. Uranus, the ruler of the sixth house connected with illness and health related issues, is placed with the Sun in the eighth house. Traditional astrology relates the eighth house to crisis and the need to face fears. It is a house of personal vulnerability, albeit perhaps a necessary vulnerability from which we may eventually gain.  Surgeries that may result in death are also included in the eighth house since they offer the possibility of a new life after a medical crisis.

The eclipse and the Nodal axis form hard aspects with the meridian.  On the MC [26ta] is the star Algol, beta Perseus in the severed head of  the Gorgon Medusa. Sun [14ar] and Uranus[16ar] are conjunct the star Alpheratz, alpha Andromeda also in the head of the chained woman. The symbolic  severed head of Medusa applied in a positive sense here refers to the head replacement surgery while the Uranus-Pluto square is suggesting a possible scientific or technological breakthroughs. But nothing is guaranteed, the same combination can lead to a breakdown if we are overreaching ourselves.
