Conductor faces action as pigeon travels ticketless




A conductor with the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) was issued a memo for letting a pigeon perched on the window of a bus travel without a ticket earlier this week. The pigeon in question was reportedly keeping a drunk passenger company from its perch in a window of the bus.

Late on Thursday  ( September 7) evening, the only government bus connecting Harur town and Ellavadi, a remote tribal village, was on its way through a forest area with more than 80 passengers, when, just as it reached the outskirts of Harur, transport department inspectors flagged the bus to check tickets. At the time, the drunk passenger, in his mid-forties, had caught hold of the pigeon, and was "having a conversation" with it.  Sept. 10 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/tamil-nadu-conductor-faces-action-as-pigeon-travels-ticketless/articleshow/60445387.cms





The Full Moon of Sept. 6 fell significantly on the meridian axis at Harur, Tamil Nadu. It was conjunct Neptune and in a wide square to Saturn on the Ascendant. In mundane astrology, the angles are recognized to have a large orb of influence so that aspects that that are technically wide or separating  are re-energized.


Therefore, although  the Saturn-Neptune square of 2015-16 is beginning  to fade out, it can still be  caught on the all important angles in significant mundane charts. What do we know about Saturn-Neptune aspects? Well for one thing if you have too much Saturn you are a stickler for discipline -  everything is according to the rule book and the slightest deviation is punished.  Too much Neptune and you’re a mess: drunk and lying in the gutter thinking you’re in paradise.

Since a square aspect can bring about a crisis in issues ruled by the planets involved it is not surprising to find that bus conductor was hauled up by the inspectors for allowing the drunk passenger his avian travel companion.  Neptune as Dionysus is the god of wine that can dissolve boundaries between the human and animal world so that the drunk passenger had no problems conversing with the pigeon. 


And finally the chart has  one last surprise for us.  Saturn, which is the apex planet of the T-square, is opposite the star Phact, alpha Columba – the Dove!
