After
removing several metres of sediment from an ancient, underground river bed deep
inside a limestone cave in Bijie, Guizhou, a team of researchers led by
Professor Zhao Lingxia discovered three human teeth. Anatomically, they
resembled those of modern humans, but dating of the sediment showed they were
buried 112,000 to 178,000 years ago, before the first modern humans walked out
of Africa, around 75,000 years ago. July

A chart for the current New Moon drawn for Bijie, Guizhou is
shown here. Notice that it makes a slightly skewed Grand Cross with the
meridian axis. A Uranus-Pluto square is linked to scientific discoveries since
it brings to light (Uranus) that which is hidden (Pluto). Strangely, a volcanic
eruption which brings to surface lava from deep inside the earth is also a Uranus-Pluto
phenomenon. Therefore, the discovery of ancient human teeth buried below several
metres of sediment is very appropriately under the same combination.
Now here is the surprising part. The New Moon is conjunct
the star Sirius, alpha Canis Major, in the jaw (teeth?) of the Greater Dog. On
the MC are the stars Alchiba, alpha Corvi, in the Crow’s beak and Adhib, theta
Draconis under the Dragon’s tongue.
It may be mentioned in passing that such surprising details
in star maps as shown in this and many other examples come to us from the second century BCE astronomer/astrologer
Hipparachus, considered the greatest ancient authority on constellation figures
so that Roman astrologer Manilius writing two centuries later carried forward
this idea:
“You must not divert
your attention from the smallest detail;
nothing exists without
reason or has been uselessly created.”
