You are standing on the
sea-shore and the waves wash up an old hat, an old box, a shoe and a dead fish
and there they lie on the shore. You say “Chance”. The Chinese mind asks “What
does it mean that these things are together?” – Carl Jung, The Symbolic Life
A viewer e-mailed KREM 2 News on Thursday
expressing concern over a large amount of dead birds - crows, to be exact -
right near Bessie Street in the neighborhood of West Valley in Spokane. What is worrying residents like Debbie
Lehinger is the fact that they are crows. "We were always told that if you
were to see a dead crow to be concerned and to report it," Lehinger said. http://www.sott.net/article/302122-Dead-crows-litter-streets-in-Spokane-Washington
Around the
same time as this news on the dead crows, the media was reporting that the US
had finally decided that its military would work in tandem with the Russians in
Syria , in their fight against ISIL, to avoid any misunderstanding. Just a few
days before that the Russian Foreign Minister had accused the US stating that
it was lying about ISIL. That it knew
ISIL’s positions but instead of bombing them it had been covertly
supplying them with arms.
To
comprehend examples like these we need to recognize that all things are embedded within a larger
symbolic field, in which each part exerts its own unique influence upon the
greater continuum of meaning which can only be understood through metaphors.
On Sept.
17, Mercury stationed retrograde and the event chart both at Washington,DC and
Spokane, Washington had Mercury in aspect to the meridian. Mercury [16li] was
conjunct stars of Corvus, the Crow and part of a T-square with Uranus-Pluto.
Corvus is the Latin name for both the raven
and the crow and these two birds are usually paired together in mythology. From
the same family, their obvious intelligence and ingenuity, as well as their
distinctive caw, has given them a widespread association with trickery,
storytelling, the relaying of messages, and the serving of self-interest. But
the colour of their plumage has also drawn a universal connection with
malevolence, sinister forces, and ominous warnings. The stars of Corvus share
this reputation and the classical myths that relate to the constellation speak
of mistrust, shameful motives, insincerity, glorification in the misfortune of
others, and the bearing of bad news.[1]
At its
station, notice that Mercury[16li] is conjunct the US Sibly Saturn [14li] in
the 10th house (government). It forms a T-square with Uranus-Pluto – a combination
that is associated with “collapses and endings” as a precursor to the beginning
of a new order. By association, it is also linked to deaths. So that in an
interesting manifestation of the T-squares we have on the one hand crows dying
in Spokane and on the other, “liars” in Washington, DC exposed and recognizing
that they cannot go ahead with their lies any further without consequences.
