From the summit of the Great Orme, the landscape
looks as peaceful as it is striking – all rolling green hills and farmland
stretching out to the blue Irish Sea. But the headland that rises over
Llandudno, Wales has a secret, one that lay buried for thousands of years. More
than five miles (8km) of tunnels run beneath the hill's surface. Spreading
across nine different levels and reaching 230 feet (70m) deep, some are so
narrow that only children would be small enough to access them. These are the
tunnels of a copper mine: one that was first dug out some 3,800 years ago and
that, within a couple of centuries, was the largest in Britain. April 21http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160420-the-ancient-copper-mines-dug-by-bronze-age-children
This report
comes from BBC London. A chart for tomorrow’s Full Moon at London is shown
here. Notice that it places Pluto on the
MC, thereby giving it prominence. But Pluto is square Venus which is therefore also
emphasized by the Full Moon chart.
The name
Pluto which derives from Plouton was understood as referring to "the
boundless riches of the earth, both the crops on its surface—he was originally
a god of the land—and the mines hidden within it." [1]. Meanwhile Venus is
the planetary ruler of copper [2] so that together the New Moon is emphasizing “copper
mines” which therefore appears in the news!
