Archaeologists Find First Ancient Oracle to Apollo in Athens




An oracle well at least 1800 years old dedicated to the god Apollo has been discovered in Athens. Though the powers of the oracle at Delphi and others were famously plied by the ancient Greeks, this is the first ancient oracular edifice to Apollo to have been found in Athens itself, Dr. Jutta Stroszeck, director of the Kerameikos excavation on behalf of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens, told Haaretz. The well would have been used for hydromancy, a method of divination by means of water.

The ancients routinely sought oracular guidance not only on the future, for simple everyday matters, such as finding/keeping a lover, ahead of a journey, after falling ill, and so forth – or applying for asylum in the sanctuary. June 7 http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/archaeology/1.723632







Cardinal Ingresses of the Sun are among the important tools of mundane astrology. The current Aries Ingress chart at Athens provides a clue to the discovery of the ancient well. Notice that the Aries ingress Sun on the Ascendant forms a T-square with the TNPs Cupido-Hades-Kronos aligned with the meridian. Hades is “ancient”, Cupido is “housing or structures” while Kronos is “famous” so when put together them together we have a reference to “a famous ancient building”. Also the TNP Poseidon linked to religion and by association to temples is anchored to the configuration so that we are discussing a famous ancient temple. But the chart goes even further, TNPs Hades and Kronos are part of the Chinese asterism Tsing – The Well!

Readers who care to progress the chart to June 7, the date of the news, will find that the progressed Ascendant reaches a conjunction to the TNPs Hades-Kronos triggering the configuration.
