from inside North Korea reveal how the ecology of the secretive Asian country
is preventing the extinction of several once plentiful species of migratory
birds. Despite being closed to most foreigner visitors, North Korea may
ironically be the saviour of one of the world's greatest international
migration routes - the avian East Asian Australasian Flyway. Fifty million
birds, from cranes to song birds, journey along the Flyway twice a year. Eight
million of those are shorebirds - or waders. And for many thousands of those,
North Korea's west coast - on the Yellow Sea - is their sole stop-off point.

This heartening news comes on the Full Moon day. A chart for
the Moon phase at Pyongyang has it placed exactly on the horizon axis conjunct
a recently discovered TNO named Quaoar [1]. Not much is known about this TNO,
but the following extract from Nick Fiorenza is an initial assessment which
appears to quite appropriate in our present context.
Quaoar would seem to have character
supporting a "harmonious revolution"— to help us release and
surrender to the natural order of the creative forces governing life and death.
in addition, Quaoar would inspire our return to the "sacredness of
life"; to realize all things in life are sacred and that it is our
responsibility to have respect for natural order and to live in harmony with
nature; without this we do not have respect for ourselves.
In addition we notice that the Full Moon is conjunct the TNP
Cupido and quincunx the TNP Admetus. The TNP Cupido is about a family or a
group of people while Admetus is about alienation or isolation or even rural,
lonely or isolated places. Wouldn’t a
country like North Korea qualify to be called an “isolated group”? Are the birds visiting North Korea because it
is cut off from the activity that we
call “modern civilization” elsewhere which has no respect for the
"sacredness of life"?
To complete the picture our avian friends show up represented
by the stars of Columba, the Dove, conjunct the Sun on the descendant.
