Rescued circus lions land in South Africa







The roars of lions filled the cargo section of Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport Saturday evening (30 Apr) as 33 lions rescued from South American circuses landed in South Africa where they will be released into a bush sanctuary for big cats. It was the largest airlift of lions in history, said Jan Creamer, president of Animal Defenders International, which carried out the operation. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/01/rescued-circus-lions-land-in-south-africa/








On April 28, just two days before this news event, Mercury stationed retrograde conjunct stars Botein, delta (δ) Aries and Rana, delta (δ) Eridanus.  A chart for the station at Vaalwater where the lion sanctuary is located has Mercury square the meridian. About Botein and Rana  Nck Fiorenza writes:

Botein can indicate those either lost and stranded, or simply left behind (the lost or following sheep), and thus can create a sense of frustration; but this is also a place of an energetic potential about to erupt. Rana of Eridanus, conjoining Botein, marks another stopping point along the river of life and articulates the theme of those lost or tired through their initiations stopping either in need of aid or for regeneration in preparation for what is yet to come.





Straddling the horizon axis is the Jupiter-Mars-Saturn-Neptune T-square.  Here Neptune is conjunct stars in the Waters of the humanitarian  Water Pourer – a perfect symbol of those willing to provide aid to those “ thirsty” or distressed.  Meanwhile conjunct Jupiter and the MC are stars theta (θ) Leo, Coxa and and mu (μ) Leo, Ras Elased Borealis in the constellation of the Lion!
