Authorities in the Indian capital, Delhi, say that
samples of Maggi noodles collected from shops contain high levels of lead.This
came weeks after food inspectors in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh
recalled a batch of the noodles from shops for the same reason. Maggi, the
two-minute instant noodles, are hugely popular in India. A number of states are
testing the noodles. Nestle India has denied that their noodles are unsafe or
unhealthy. Maggi noodles has been at the centre of a controversy since
laboratory tests on two dozen packets in Uttar Pradesh last month found lead
nearly seven times the permissible limits and excess levels of MSG. The Delhi
government says its food inspectors found lead in 10 of the 13 packets they
picked up for tests. June 3; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-32987682
The cardinal
ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Of these the
Capricorn Ingress has a special place and is considered by many to be the annual chart. Shown here is the sidereal Capricorn
Ingress chart for Delhi, India with only the elements relevant to our
discussion. On the Ascendant is the TNP Hades opposite the asteroid Ceres and
quincunx Saturn in the 6th house. Ceres refers to food while Hades
is about things that are spoilt so that Ceres-Hades would refer to food that is
unfit for consumption. Reinforcing the connection to health is Saturn in the 6th
, a house connected with public health [1]. In her article, “Saturn – The Great Teacher”, Deborah Houlding [2] explains why
Saturn is connected to the metal lead.
Of the seven
metals, Saturn rules lead, which has a very dull surface and makes a thick,
heavy sound when struck. Lead is also the heaviest, the most stable and the
most inert metal, the traditional metal of tombs. Lead poisoning was originally
referred to as 'Saturnism', because the physical ailments of ingesting small
quantities of lead include fatigue, depression and melancholia. Lead collects
in bone tissue and is more prevalent in the bones of old people than those of
the young. Nick Kollerstrom in his book Astrochemistry explores the link
between Saturn, lead and Saturnism, reminding us that the effects of lead
poisoning are to 'slow down' the mental processes of the mind.
Having
established that the Capricorn Ingress chart at Delhi is indeed referring to
the matter of food poisoning, all that remains is to progress the chart to June
3, the date of the news, to see that the progressed Ascendant conjoins Saturn
triggering the Ceres-Hades-Saturn configuration.
