Centaur impaling the Wolf
(notice the
inverted Altar)
Ortho,
a top US manufacturer of lawn and garden pesticides, will phase out products
containing the neonicotinoid class of chemicals, the use of which has been
linked to a massive decline in honeybee population. Ortho, a division of Scotts
Miracle-Gro Company, announced Tuesday that it will cease the use of
neonicotinoid ("neonic") ingredients imidacloprid, clothianidin and
dinotefuran by 2017, while phasing out neonics in eight products that are used
to kill garden pests by the year 2021.
Tim
Martin, Ortho's vice president and general manager, said the company will also
begin a "multi-year partnership" with pollinator advocacy
organizations to "to promote pollinator habitat" and "homeowner
education" initiatives to encourage "responsible use of pesticides
where pollinators can be found." April 12 https://www.rt.com/usa/339359-neonicotinoids-ortho-bees-pesticide/
Cardinal
ingresses have been used to predict public events at least since the time of
Ptolemy. With the Sun having recently entered Aries, we look at the chart for
the ingress drawn for Marysville, Ohio where Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, is
headquartered. Notice the
Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune T-square straddling the meridian. Here Saturn [16sa] is conjunct V801 Arae [16sa], in the Altar’s flame. The mythology of the Altar is linked closely
to the Centaur.
Symbolically,
the Centaur, a man-beast combination, illustrates
the conflict between man’s lower animal nature merged with his higher nature of
human virtue and judgement. In star lore, the Centaur is shown carrying the
impaled Wolf, a symbol of evil and
gluttony, to the Altar for sacrifice. An altar as a raised place of sacrifice
embodies the act of moving from darkness to light; the sacrifice on the altar
restores the original unity.
If we now progress,
the ingress chart to April 12 when Tim Martin, Ortho's vice president, made the
announcement, we notice that the progressed Ascendant conjoins Saturn
triggering the story of the Altar. In other words, this is exactly when the
company decides to give up its narrow aim of profits for a greater cause – the protection
of bees.
Now where do
the bees come in here? Notice that the Ascendant of the ingress chart [27sc] is
conjunct the star delta Musca [26sc]. The constellation was originally called
Apis – the bee [1].
