Hercules battling the Nemean
Lion
Cecil the lion – the most famous creature in one of
Zimbabwe's national parks – was killed by an American hunter who has boasted
about shooting a menagerie of animals with his bow and arrow, The Telegraph can
reveal. Walter James Palmer, a dentist from Minnesota, is believed to have paid
£35,000 to shoot and kill the much-loved lion with a bow and arrow. The animal
was shot on July 1 in Hwange National Park.
Conservation groups in Zimbabwe reacted angrily to
the news that the 13-year-old animal had been killed: partly because the lion
was known to visitors and seemingly enjoyed human contact, and partly because
of the way in which he was killed. He was lured out of the national park and
shot. http://goo.gl/DRqc0i
The incident
occurred on July 1 in Hwange National Park which is close to the town of Dete in Zimbabwe [1]. On July 1, there was a
Venus-Jupiter [21le] conjunction in Leo which was prominently placed on the
Ascendant at Dete. Venus-Jupiter aspects are known to be associated with
popularity and social success [2].
Centaurus killing Lupus
So with this combination in Leo, conjunct
stars in the constellation of the Lion, we are here talking about a “popular”
lion. But Venus-Jupiter is also square Saturn [29sc]
which is conjunct stars of the wild beast Lupus, the Centaur and the strong man
Hercules. Hercules is often depicted
slaying a Lion while Lupus is impaled on
the Centaur’s spear. Centaurus-the-Punisher and Lupus, the Beast of
Death are together often prominent in acts of prejudice, cruelty and terror[3]. In medical astrology, Saturn rules teeth and bones so that the killer was appropriately a dentist!
