Child care and the dark side of religious exemption



Andromeda – the Chained Princess



Religion enjoys many exceptions from the rules and regulations of government. Ministerial institutions have always been free from the burden of federal taxes, and don't have to abide by laws such as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.  Even the war on drugs does not wholly apply, as certified religious entities can use "controlled substances" such as hallucinogens during ceremony.  However, the Center for Investigative Reporting revealed a dark side to the practice of religious exemption. Disturbing patterns of child abuse were found in states that apply this favoritism to day care centers. http://goo.gl/imeDbP




Yesterday, we looked at the exaggerated notions of child care in Norway through the lens of the current solar eclipse of March 9 [1]. Shown here is chart for the same eclipse  at San Francisco, California where the Center  for Investigative Reporting is based. As in Oslo, Norway here too the chart is significant since the eclipse T-square straddles the angles. On the MC are stars of Auriga, the Charioteer so that once again issues connected with child care are brought into prominence. The difference being that here Auriga’s whip is being used a bit too excessively!

 But just for a moment let us go back to the sign Pisces in which the eclipse took place. In Pisces, the social or religious delusions of Sagittarius or  the exaggerated idealism of Aquarius must be cut away. Pisces is about clearing the stage for a new kind of living and realization. And since here the eclipse was conjunct Ceres, the asteroid associated with mother-child relationships or right ways of nurturance, some of these are new realizations are about child care.

As always, the chart is an indivisible whole in which the various elements often point to the same issue. Notice that Pluto [17cp] is placed in the 5th house.   So that the harshness and controlling nature (Pluto) is focused on children (5th). This is borne out by the Sabian symbol of Pluto.

Phase 288: The Union Jack Flies From a British Warship.
This symbol reflects conditions prevailing in the past when Great Britain’s fleet was policing the high seas to safeguard its colonies. It, therefore, refers to the protection afforded to individuals and groups by powerful institutions in charge of maintaining order. Alas this power can easily be misused under the pretext of preserving  “law and order”. Justice and compassion must balance social power.

Let us take our analysis a little further. Pluto[17cp] is square Uranus [18ar]. Uranus conjoins the star lambda Andromeda, in the chained left hand of the Princess, who in mythology is the innocent daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia left to be ravaged by the sea monster Cetus. Notice how beautifully, the mythology applies to the current situation in the news. Parents have unwittingly left their children at the day care centers where they are abused!



Now if we progress the eclipse chart to the date of the news, is it all a surprise to find the Uranus-Pluto square on the angles? What it is essentially saying is that the time has come to realize how we allow these institutions to abuse out children and then to put an end to this practice.
