Artefacts from a slave ship wrecked off South
Africa are due to be unveiled in Cape Town. They are thought to be the first
objects to be recovered from a slave ship that went down while it was
transporting people. Archaeologists hope the objects will help scholars, as
well as be a memorial to all those caught up in the trade. Millions of Africans
were transported as part of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and many died on the
journey. Remnants from shackles, iron bars used as ballast for the ship and a
wooden pulley block will be shown for the first time at Cape Town's Iziko Slave
Lodge museum on Tuesday. June 1; http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-32956603
A Total Lunar
Eclipse occurred on April 4, 2015. The
Sun was conjunct the South Node and Uranus with both square Pluto, creating a Full
Moon T-Square straddling the horizon axis at Cape Town. A South Node eclipse
refers to the past. So that with Uranus
in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn, this square reminds us of the struggle for
the freedom of the individual against powerful institutions that thrived on
repression and control. More specifically, the South Node [9ar59] is
conjunct the star 12 Andromedae [9ar16]
near the chained right hand of Andromeda [2] – a perfect symbol for slavery!
On the
Ascendant [14cn] is the star Canopus. Alpha (α) Carina, Canopus,[15cn] is a white
binary star in the Keel of the ship Argo Navis, the brightest star in the
constellation of Argo Navis, the Great Ship, and the second biggest star in the
sky. So the pieces of the jigsaw come together. The eclipse is reminding us
about a slave ship!
But why is
this news coming to us on June 1? If we now progress the eclipse chart to June
1, we find the T-square aligns with the meridian triggering the event. The star
on the MC is once again Canopus of Argo Navis, the Celestial Ship.
