Hydra – the Water Snake
Newly
published research says two of Canada's most commonly used pesticides cause
migrating songbirds to lose weight and their sense of direction.
"This
is very good evidence that even a little dose — incidental, you might call it —
in their feeding could be enough to have serious impacts," said University
of Saskatchewan biologist Christy Morrissey, whose paper was published Thursday
in the journal Scientific Reports.
Morrissey
studied the effect of two widely used pesticide types — neonicotinoids and
organophosphates. Both are used on more than 100 different crops, including
wheat and canola, and are found in dozens of commercial products.
A
2016 survey suggested that migratory songbird populations have fallen by 1.5
billion since 1970. Morrissey suggests that pesticides might be one reason why. Nov.9
That events on earth can respond dramatically to the Moon phases can be surprising to many.
This news will serve as one example of how they do. A chart for the Last
Quarter Moon of Nov.10 at Saskatoon, where the research was carried out, is shown
here. Notice that the luminaries straddle the horizon axis signifying that the
Moon phase has an important message for the place. So what is this message and
how do we read it?
Usually, the stars that
form the backdrop to the luminaries offer some clues. Here the Moon [18le] is conjunct
the stars Al Suhail, zeta (ζ) Puppis of the Celestial Ship Argo, theta Hydra of
the poisonous Water Snake among others. Hydra is linked to toxic substances
while the ship Argo Navis is a symbol for long distance travel and migrations.
For the Sun [18sc] which is
conjunct stars of the Serpent, Diana Rosenberg writes, “environmental
contamination; mass deaths of people and animals” [1].
Since the angles are also
specific for a place, the stars they conjoin often add further details. Here
the IC [13ge] is conjunct omicron Columbae, the constellation of the Dove.
Columba – the Dove
In conclusion, we can say
that we have all the elements that make up the news….mass death of animals
(birds) while migrating (Argo)…caused by environmental poisoning (Hydra).
