Ebola Epidemic May Have its Origin in Ancient Greece












There is a widely held belief that the first outbreak dates back to 1976, in the Democratic Republic of Congo with the virus reemerging in West Africa in 2014. However, Powel Kazanjian, a professor of history and infectious diseases from the University of Michigan, suggests that the origin of the Ebola virus lies in Ancient Greece. His paper was published June 1 in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. Kazanjian believes he has traced the virus back to infected mice and rats some 20 million years ago. The virus may have become available for humans from the animal reservoir long before scientists found it in 1976.  The devastating Plague of Athens in 430 BC, which has been a bone of contention between historians and physicians, may have actually been caused by the Ebola virus, claims the professor. The illness was also known as Thucydides syndrome, after the name of the famous historian who survived such an infection. June 18 http://sputniknews.com/analysis/20150618/1023541715.html








Of all  cardinal ingresses of the Sun, the Capricorn Ingress is considered by many mundane astrologers to be the most important. Shown here is sidereal Capricorn Ingress for Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Here the Sun is placed in the 6th house associated with public health issues. It is opposite the TNP Hades and the asteroid  Hygiea on the Ascendant.  Keywords for Hades are: “ancient, historical and also root causes” while Hygiea is of course associated with diseases so that the combination is suggesting that we could be talking about the ancient roots of a disease. Uranus-Pluto as part of the T-square straddling the horizon is here referring to the emergence or the bringing to light (Uranus)  something that has been hidden (Pluto).

On the MC are stars of the ancient physician/goddess Gula.  For this area, Diana Rosenberg writes:

Among those with placements here are visionary 19th- century nursing/ public health pioneer Florence Nightingale; US Civil War nursing administrator Dorothea Dix, an early crusader for the care of the mentally ill; discoverer of antisepsis Dr. Ignaz Semmelweiss; pioneer  anaesthesiologist/ epidemiologist Dr. John Snow, famous for his classic study of the cause of the terrible 1854 London cholera epidemic and many others.

These stars were transited in the solar eclipse of 538 CE  resulting in the bubonic plague of Justinian in 540 CE; in March 1345 Mars-Jupiter conjunction just before the Black Death (bubonic plague) reached Europe: the University of Paris Faculty of Medicine officially considered this conjunction the cause of the great pandemic that killed about 25,000,000 in Europe alone; at the 1916 Cancer Ingress when a devastating polio epidemic  struck New York City and in 1995 at the outbreak of the Ebola virus in Kikwit, Zaire.







Progressing the ingress chart to June 1, when Professor Kazanjian’s paper was published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, we find that the T-square now straddles the meridian triggering its potential.
