Caelum
- the Sculptor's Chisel
Natalia Poklonskaya, Crimea’s Prosecutor General,
has unveiled a monument to the last Russian Emperor, Nicholas II. Rossiyskaya
Gazeta reports (on May 19) that the monument is located in front of the Livadia
Palace in Crimea. The bronze bust of the Emperor is one meter in height and is
mounted on a marble base. http://russia-insider.com/en/society/russias-prosecutie-unveils-monument-emperor-nicholas-ii/ri7335
The horoscope
of Nicholas II, Czar of Russia, born on 18 May 1868; 2:30 pm; Tsarskoye Selo,
Russian Federation, 59n43, 30e25 [1] is given at Astrodatabank. If we compare
it with the chart for the current New Moon [18 May 2015] notice that the Sun-Moon-Mars-Mercury-Saturn
axis aligns with the Czar’s radix Sun-Saturn opposition. In addition we notice that the chart for the
New Moon is significant for Livadi since Sun-Moon-Mars-Mercury-Saturn-Neptune
T-square aligns with the meridian. Also the New
Moon is in the 12th house. Traditionally, the 12th house
is a wholly unfortunate house, associated with sad events, sorrow, anguish of
mind, tribulation, captivity and imprisonment all of which were the Czar’s fate
in his last years.
Nicholas ‘s reign
saw Imperial Russia go from being one of the foremost great powers of the world
to economic and military collapse. Political enemies nicknamed him Nicholas the
Bloody because of the Khodynka Tragedy, alleged anti-Semitic pogroms, Bloody
Sunday, his violent suppression of the 1905 Revolution, his execution of
political opponents, and his pursuit of military campaigns on an unprecedented
scale. Ebertin’s key phrases for Mars-Saturn-Neptune are “hardness, harshness
and bitterness; all will directed activity meets complete resistance; waning
powers and weakening efforts” and one could add possible "defeat in battle". These phrases would appear to describe the Czar’s reign. The
Czar’s radix chart has a Sun-Saturn-Neptune in hard aspect which also
essentially means weakening vitality and a failure of grand plans.
Finally notice that the luminaries in the New Moon
chart are also conjunct the stars alpha Caelum [25ta21] and Algol, [25ta22].
Beta (β) Perseus, Algol, is a bright star positioned on the severed head that
Perseus is carrying. The Chinese gave it the gruesome title Tseih She, the Piled-up Corpses. Here it
becomes a reminder of what happened to the Czar and his family who were
murdered by the Bolsheviks on 17 July
1918. The Mars-Saturn opposition is also linked to murders and assassinations
while the Mercury retrograde is referring to an incident from the past.
The second star that the New Moon conjoins is alpha
Caelum. Latin caelum means both 'the heavens' (from the same root as
'celestial'), and 'sculptor's chisel', or burin; an engraving tool for metals
and stone. It is this instrument that La Caille had in mind when he named this
constellation[2]. By extension here it
refers to the bust of the Czar!
