Ottawa, the city fun forgot, tops on infidelity website








Canada's prim capital is suddenly focused more on the state of people's affairs than the affairs of the state. One in five Ottawa residents allegedly subscribed to adulterers' website Ashley Madison, making one of the world's coldest capitals among the hottest for extra-marital hookups - and the most vulnerable to a breach of privacy after hackers targeted the site. Hackers threatened to leak details including the credit card information, nude photos, sexual fantasies and real names of as many as 37 million customers worldwide of Ashley Madison, which uses the slogan: "Life is short. Have an affair." The one bright spot for millions of Ashley Madison's nervous clients is that the hack appears to be an inside job, according to police and intelligence sources. Avid Life has also said it is convinced the hackers were formerly connected to the company. That means, for now at least, the perpetrators are driven by ideological and not commercial motives. The hackers, who referred to customers as "cheating dirtbags who deserve no discretion," appear uninterested in blackmailing individual clients, unlike an organized crime outfit.

An interesting news item for checking whether the methods adopted at this blogsite actually work. Regular readers are familiar with the importance of the cardinal ingresses of the Sun. Shown here is the chart for the Sun’s entry into Cancer.

 On the Ascendant are stars of the Virgin who is dedicated to purity, faithfulness to principles and abstinence while on the IC are stars in the sting of the Scorpion. About  this area Diana Rosenberg writes, “they are resourceful…and good at uncovering hidden secrets that can either bring enlightenment or prove embarrassing to others. Combined with the influence of tropical Sagittarius…they are often at war, without and within, with rigid dogmas of religion, science or politics…they are quite capable  of making themselves unpopular by being abrasive, opinionated, critical and argumentative….they are willing to go head-to-head with the “powers-that-be” over social injustices”.

Saturn, the ruler of the 5th house (love affairs) is in a hard aspect with Mars on the MC. Among other things, Mars represents our sexual urges while Saturn stands for the laws of society so that a hard aspect between the two brings about a conflict.  Although many readers may go along with the hackers and condemn the adulterers, this is where Sabian symbols can come to our aid in understanding what a situation requires.  The Sabian symbol for Saturn [29sc34] is:

PHASE 240: CHILDREN IN HALLOWEEN COSTUMES INDULGE IN VARIOUS PRANKS
Keynote: The periodic outlet society furnishes within traditional limits to still immature energies.

The Saturn symbol recognizes the modern man’s need for a release from tension and elegantly explains why it is necessary to allow the primitive animal instincts in man a safe outlet.







Progressing the ingress chart to July 21, brings the angles to the now separating Uranus-Pluto square. Among other things we know that Uranus-Pluto is about “social disruption (Uranus) in connection with sex (Pluto)” but also notice that Uranus trines a Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Leo (enjoyment) and more specifically Venus at [15le] whose Sabian symbol once again refers to a need for a release from tension.

PHASE 135: A PAGEANT WITH ITS SPECTACULAR FLOATS.
Keynote: The more or less sensational release of energies in a form dramatizing the unconscious aspirations of man’s primitive and instinctual nature.









If we now read the foregoing in conjunction with the Sabian for the New Moon [24cn] we begin to see how a compounding or resonance of several cosmic factors creates events on earth.

PHASE 114: A WOMAN AND TWO MEN ON A SMALL  ISLAND OF THE SOUTH SEAS.
Here the symbol is literally referring to an “affair”. The “south” always refers symbolically  to the strong and passionate impulses of human nature. And what is required here is for the three to come to a working relationship. 


The chart for the New Moon at Ottawa has the meridian conjunct Saturn square Venus-Jupiter. This clearly represents the dilemma of love (Venus) caught between restrictions of duty, commitment and following the law (Saturn) versus a bit of self indulgence (Jupiter in Leo). Placed opposite Venus-Jupiter is the centaur Nessus [2pi]. About Nessus, Nick Fiorenza writes:


Melanie Reinhart relates Nessus to issues surrounding sexuality, death, revenge and jealousy. Although Nessus may appear to have a disrespect for morality, a bit on the wild side, it also seems to teach us about embracing our sensual and sexual nature, to enjoy this abundance in life, rather than denying it or shutting ourselves down to it due to righteous or erroneous beliefs of wrongfulness or emotions of unworthiness.
