The Children of
Niobe By Nicolas de Platte-Montagne
Washington, D.C., is one of the worst places in
America to be a mother, and it has the highest infant mortality rate of any
capital city in the developed world, according to new study. Disturbing data
about persistent health care gaps in the United States are detailed in State of
the World’s Mothers 2015: An Urban Disadvantage, a new report from humanitarian
relief organization, Save the Children. The report, which looks at the
situation for maternal and infant health across 179 countries and focuses on the
urban poor, found that mothers in the U.S. are more likely to die than those in
other high-income countries. May 4 http://www.newsweek.com/washington-global-infant-maternal-mortality-328148
A chart for
the Full Moon of May 3 drawn for Washington DC is shown here. It is significant for the place
since the luminaries aspect the angles. Notice that the Sun in 5th house
that is linked to pro-creativity and children is square Jupiter [13le] in the 8th
connected with mortality and is also conjunct he stars Dubhe, alpha Ursa
Majoris and Kochab, beta Ursae Minoris of the Great Bear and her Little
Cub. The Great Bear is a protective
mother and among other things, Diana Rosenberg links this area to issues
relating to the destruction or protection of children.
In addition,
Jupiter is conjunct the asteroids
Demeter and Niobe. Martha Wescott
provides the following delineations for the two asteroids:
Demeter: Mothers and mother-child issues.
Niobe: The Greek Niobe boastfully compared her children to those of the
immortal, Leto, and for this hubris suffered the punishment of having her
children slain by Artemis. The asteroid Niobe stands for the perils of an
investment in one’s children or procreative ability. It can show loss of
children and long-term grief.
