Georgia and sky events

Written on August 13, 2008 by Moragh

The situation in Georgia/South Ossetia agrees very well with Bernadette’s description of the forthcoming lunar eclipse - intrigue in halls of power and countries dividing and/or reuniting.  But I thought I’d also take a look at the visual astrology for the area, especially as Sirius is often the heliacal rising star around this time of year.  I used Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, and using the parapegma in ‘Starlight’ discovered that Sirius became the heliacal rising star there on Monday 4 August, its last day being Thursday 7 August (i.e. the day Georgia launched its attack on South Ossetia).  Moreover, around 16:30 the Moon entered Scorpio, so both Sun and Moon were in fixed signs (but not yet square - that occurred the next day, when Russia joined in).

There are some very interesting mundane parans, perhaps the most striking being:

Moon/Pollux - help which is needed fails to arrive

Moon/El Nath - a group suffers from the cruelty of others

Mercury/Capulus - A confronting news article, strong criticism (circumpolar)

Mercury/El Nath - one who speaks out, abrasive language or speeches

Mercury/Antares - anxiety and worry

Mars/Betelgeuse - the establishment uses a heavy hand

Jupiter/Arcturus - a leader rises to the occasion and takes bold action

Saturn/Capella - fast action required by civic leaders, or the law makers

There are some very powerful stars in paran during this period, including two Royal Stars (Regulus and Antares) and two of the most difficult stars (Algol and Capulus).   And of course, Sirus ‘the Scorcher.’
