When
we were children, the summer holidays seemed to last forever, and the wait
between Christmases felt like an eternity. So why is that when we get older,
the time just seems to zip by, with weeks, months and entire seasons
disappearing from a blurred calendar at dizzying speed? This apparently
accelerated time travel is not a result of filling our adult lives with
grown-up responsibilities and worries. Research does in fact seem to show that
perceived time moves more quickly for older people making our lives feel busy
and rushed. Sept. 2 https://theconversation.com/why-time-seems-to-go-by-more-quickly-as-we-get-older-63354
The worldview underlying astrology sees all of reality as
symbolic in nature. To the symbolist, the heavenly bodies are threads within a
great tapestry of affinities and correspondences. Thus even when an article is published,
the symbolist can find important clues connecting the contents of the article
with the planetary configurations at that time.
The author of the article Christian Yates is a Lecturer at
University of Bath, UK. A chart for the upcoming third and last exact
Saturn-Neptune square on September 10 drawn for Bath has it placed
significantly straddling the horizon axis. On the IC [3ar51] is the star eta Horologium
[4ar50]. This constellation, Horologium Oscillatorium, was added by La Caille
in 1752 to honor Christiaan Huygens who invented the first pendulum clock in
1656. Horologium is from Latin horologium,
from Greek orologion, literally 'that
which tells the hour', from ora, 'hour',
and -logion, that which tells, from legein to tell.
Saturn is named after the Roman god Saturn, equated to the
Greek Chronos. In Greek mythology,
Chronos in pre-Socratic philosophical works is said to be the personification
of time. He emerged from the primordial Chaos and was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a man
turning the zodiac wheel. Often the figure is named Aeon (Eternal Time), a
common alternate name for the god. His name actually means "Time",
and is alternatively spelled Khronos (transliteration of the Greek), Chronos,
Chronus (Latin version). Some of the current English words which show a tie to
khronos/chronos and the attachment to time are chronology, chronic, and
chronicle.
On the other hand, Neptune has no notion of boundaries and structures.
For Neptune, time is a mirage. While Saturn rules time, Neptune tends to
dissolve our perception of time. On September 2 when the article was published,
the transit Sun[10vi] completed an exact T-square with Saturn-Neptune thereby
triggering it. So is it at all a
surprise that under a Saturn-Neptune square, an article is published which
explains why our sense of time changes with age?
