Dionysus appears as a 'drunk' squirrel




Dionysus – the god of wine


A "drunk" squirrel has caused hundreds of pounds of damage at a private members' club. The secretary of Honeybourne Railway Club said he originally thought someone had broken into the premises, near Evesham in Worcestershire. The floor was covered in beer and glasses and bottles smashed, Sam Boulter said. Mr Boulter, 62, said he then saw a squirrel "staggering around" after coming out from behind a box of crisps. He added: "There were bottles scattered around, money scattered around and he had obviously run across the bar's pumps and managed to turn on the Caffrey's tap.

A lovely little story that should help illustrate how astrology works. One of the many factors analyzed in mundane astrology is the conjunction of planets. On July 16, just after the New Moon, Mercury, the god of mischief conjoined Mars, the god of violence. A chart for the conjunction at Evesham has the just separating New Moon [24cn] on the Ascendant  conjunct the asteroid Dionysus [20cn] and Diana [29cn]. The New Moon is also  in hard aspect to Neptune.

Martha-Wescott gives us the following keywords:

BACCHUS (DIONYSUS): Excess; addiction; attempts to manage feelings, people and situations through substitution or avoidance; contact with orchards, pine and fir trees, vineyards; intoxication.
DIANA: Attunement to animals and nature.


Dionysus is named after the god of wine. The asteroid Dionysus represents the concept of “too much”, it can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, or it is more than you can handle; it is an excess, an indulgence; it’s being intoxicated. Meanwhile Diana is the asteroid linked to animals so that the combination Diana-Dionysus fits the picture of a “drunk squirrel”perfectly!
