Astronomical Myth is a "picture language," imagery that
articulates the qualities of cosmic intelligence expressing throughout the
greater heavens and through our lives. We are not separate from the greater
heavens, from the stars and planets around us, or from our beloved Earth, but
are intimate parts of this dynamic, continually unfolding heavenly symphony.
This entirety is our cosmic consciousness, the totality of our being. To
explore the greater heavens and the heavenly cycles is to explore that which we
are--our embracing consciousness and our spiritual evolution. – Nick Fiorenza
Diana – Goddess of the Hunt
It is often said that the eyes are a window to the
soul and now research suggests that their shape can be used to distinguish
between predator and prey in the animal kingdom. A study by the University of California,
Berkeley and Durham University found
that animals with pupils shaped like vertical slits are more likely to be
ambush-predator species such as cats and crocodiles. Meanwhile, plant-eating
“prey” species such as sheep and goats tend to have horizontal, elongated
“letterbox” pupils. And circular pupils are linked to “active foragers” –
animals that chase down their prey rather than creeping up and ambushing them.

The news
comes just a day after the third quarter Moon. A chart for the phase has the Sun square the meridian. The Sun [14le] is
conjunct stars in the Arabic lunar
mansion, Al Tarf, “The Glance” or “The
Eyes” of the Lion and the asteroid Diana [11le].
Diana is
the Roman Goddess [1] of the woodlands, wild animals and of the hunt (see
image). Within the province of the asteroid Diana fall events and issues that
revolve around “hunting” and by association the two protagonists in the hunt – the prey and the predator.
Andromeda and Cetus
The Moon [14ta]
on the IC is conjunct the stars Almach
of Andromeda [14ta] and Menkar of Cetus
[14ta]. Almach is the snagged
foot of Andromeda about to be snapped by the jaws (Menkar) of Cetus, the Sea-Monster – a perfect image of a
predator about to devour its prey!
