This is the amazing moment a troubled whale
approached a fishing boat and asked its crew for help. Fishermen were stunned as the giant mammal
swam up to them, nudged their boat and appeared to show plastic bags caught in
its mouth. The group came to the
assistance of the whale, pulling plastic bags and fishing rods from its mouth. Michael
Riggio, 17, decided to get a keepsake, taking selfie snaps while his friend
Ivan Iskenderian, stretched out to help the animal. "It was surreal, we couldn't believe our
eyes," said Ivan.
The moment which happened on Tuesday (11 Aug.), in
Middle Harbour, near Sydney, was captured on film by fellow fisherman Ron
Kovacs who originally tried to help the whale. "He just popped his head up
so you could reach out and remove the garbage, he told the Daily Mail. "He
tried on my boat but we are a bit higher. "I made one grab for the bag but
missed. He was very inquisitive and more interested in us." After the
rubbish is freed from it's mouth the whale shows its appreciation by flipping
its fin while swimming away. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/giant-whale-caught-plastic-bag-6245544
A chart for
the Last Quarter Moon of August 7 at Sydney, Australia is shown here. The phase is significant for the place since the
luminaries straddle the meridian. Here
the Sun [14le] is conjunct the star Dubhe,alpha Ursa Majoris [15le] of the
Great Bear which Diana Rosenberg links
with the “destruction or protection of animals and the environment”. The Moon
[14ta] is conjunct the star Menkar [14ta]. Alpha (α) Cetus, Menkar, is a bright
orange star in the open jaw of the Whale, or Sea Monster! [1] How strange that the Whale should have opened
its mouth for the fisherman to remove the rubbish!!
Finally,
Neptune [9pi] which squares the horizon is conjunct stars in the Waters of
Aquarius flowing into the mouth of the
Southern Fish – another symbol of compassion and caring for all living creatures.
The following extract about Neptune in Pisces [2] is relevant here:
Neptune’s entry into its watery home
sign signals a spiritual awakening that crosses the threshold of our individual
differences to reconnect humanity in a web of common awareness. Compassion
shifts from an idealistic concept to an active energy that puts us in touch
with one another in a more emotional way.
Neptune in Pisces increases
sensitivity to toxins, requiring more thorough cleanup of existing waste and a
more cautious approach to introducing new products into the environment. These
may be the last days of plastic as we know it, replacing current chemical
formulas with biodegradable substitutes.
