Bangladeshi PM: 'Punish' migrants seeking to flee



Sextans Uranae




(CNN)Bangladesh's leader, Sheikh Hasina, said Sunday that those seeking to leave the country in an "illegal way" should be punished along with the human traffickers who facilitate their escape. The statement comes amid a crisis among Southeast Asian nations over the fate of thousands of migrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar who have taken to sea on boats, hoping to settle elsewhere in the region. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), an estimated 25,000 migrants took to seas in Southeast Asia in the first quarter of 2015. In recent weeks, hundreds of migrants have come ashore in Malaysia and Aceh in Indonesia after making the risky journey south through the Andaman Sea.

This is a Southeast Asian crisis involving Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.  A chart drawn for the First Quarter Moon at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia  is shown here. It  would in a sense be representative for the 5 nations since Malaysia is more or less  in the middle of  those nations and facing the brunt of the migrations.  Notice that the Quarter Moon highlights the Mars-Saturn-Neptune squares. Saturn [1sa20] is conjunct the MC [6sa] and both are part of the Indian lunar mansion Anuradha, a mansion of wanderers. Here  Bangladesh's leader, Sheikh Hasina  is Saturn (authority figure) while Mars-Neptune represents the anger (Mars) at victims (Neptune). (Recall that a similar thing is happening with EU authorities wanting to punish African migrants).


The following extract from Nick Fiorenza’s account of the First Quarter Moon explains not only the spiritual challenge involved but also provides a literal picture of the poor migrants at sea.


The Moon[4vi] conjoins Alpha [4vi20] and Gamma [3vi39] Sextans. The sextant is a navigational instrument used to determine the vertical position (angular distance) of the sun, moon or stars from the horizon. The Sextant’s stars reveals our need to reassess our position or situation, to reorient ourselves, and to take a new tack toward our goals in life with conscious consideration for the changing evolutionary winds and currents upon which we must navigate. On a basic level this can be in regard to changing our fundamental approach or path in life. On a greater scale, this can be in regard to changing allegiance of our energies from the outer world, self-sacrificing to diversionary forces or currents in the world around us, to the vertical integrity of our inner soul / source directive and truth.
