A tiger makes friends with a billy goat – no kidding!











And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them.
Isaiah 11:6



The case has stunned keepers at a Russian safari park where normally big cats don't think twice about eating the live prey placed helplessly in their enclosures. But this goat showed no inkling of fear, eyeballed the tiger, and took over his shelter. Pictures show the obedient big cat reduced to resting on the roof of the shelter while the goat languishes inside on the tiger's bed.  'Our tigers get live prey twice every week,' said a keeper. 'Tiger Amur knows very well how to hunt goats and rabbits. But recently he came across a goat that he refused to hunt.' Nov.26







This news item serve as an excellent example of how cosmic energies can reflect in events connected with animals.  A chart for the Full Moon of November 26 drawn for Shkotovo, the location of the safari park, is shown here. Notice  that the Full Moon aligns with the horizon axis and forms a T-square with Saturn-Neptune. Here the Ascendant, Sun and Saturn are conjunct stars of the Wild Beast Lupus and the Centaur. About this area, Nick Fiorenza writes:

In the mythical image, the Centaur is firmly clutching Lupus the beast, or is shown in mythical images of the 1700-1800s (Uranographia of Johann Bode; et. al.) as holding impaled Lupus upon a long spear. Either way, the Centaur is bringing Lupus with conscious deliberation to Ara, the sacrificial Altar of the Centaur, to be consumed in the Centaur's pyre. This articulates the slaying or sacrificing of lower-self personality desires / egoic self and related patterns of behavior.


Neptune is  also in a sense a planet  of sacrifice.  In Pisces, it supports non-violence and  urges  us to rise above our primitive physical desires. Moreover, with a quincunx aspect to Mars, it is specifically pointing  to the need to overcome aggressive instincts.

On the MC with Jupiter is the star beta (β) Leo, Denebola, in the constellation of the Lion. With the Full Moon on the horizon highlighting the Saturn-Neptune square, isn’t amazing that we are shown an example of a predatory animal overcoming his urge to kill the goat.
