November Eclipse and Lessons from Delhi rape

Hunters shooting wild ducks

Shown here is the solar eclipse of 14th November at 21sc57 . Notice that by the rules of mundane astrology it is significant for Delhi since (a) it places a Grand Cross on the angles (b) the eclipse aspects the Grand Cross. Although Venus-Zeus and Pluto in the chart are not in square aspect in the technical sense because each one is on an angle much wider orbs need to be allowed here. The combination Venus-Pluto is well known to be associated with violence and rape [1]. The Sabian [2] symbol of the eclipse degree provides a clear answer about the lesson that needs to be learnt from this unfortunate episode. Given below is Dane Rudhyars commentary for the symbol and requires no explanation.

PHASE 232 (SCORPIO 22): HUNTERS SHOOTING WILD DUCKS. KEYNOTE: The socially accepted release of an individuals or a groups aggressive instincts. What this symbol clearly stresses is the socialization of mans primitive instincts according to a cultural ritual. Social hunting is a regulated seasonal outlet for male aggressiveness a safety valve for emotional pressures in human beings in whom animal compulsions and bio-spheric values are still strong. In this second stage symbol we find a strong contrast with the first. In the latter, the individual proved himself truly man by refusing to accept the practices of war imposed upon him by his society; in this symbol for Scorpio 22 it is society that [must] willingly accept and in accepting, ritualize and to some extent refines the aggressiveness inherent in most individuals. The Keywords are SOCIALIZATION OF INSTINCTS. A symbol is formulated when there is a human need for it. It may be a strictly personal need. The psychological or prophetic dreams of a particular person belong to this category; they bring to the individual an intimation of a particular condition of existence, be it physiological, psychological or social. They may suggest an answer to a problem, perhaps until then but superficially understood. Symbols integrate the separate experiences of a vast number of men. They take events from the realm of the fortuitous, the unprecedented, the unique and the incomprehensible to the realm of "universals." They may suggest an answer to a problem, perhaps until then but superficially understood. Man should not seek tensely and self-protectively to avoid or control events. Events do not happen to an individual person; he happens to them. He meets them and imparts to them his own meaning. It is only when an individual is placed in complex situations involving unknowable factors unknowable to his normal perceptions and his rational mind that he may, and indeed should, seek to broaden his perspective by trying to see the events or the prospects facing him sub specie aeternitatis, that is, in their relationship to a cosmic whole of meaning. Symbols help man to do this to make sense of his existence, to see each personal event as a focalized and

particularized manifestation of one phase of the whole cosmic process of existence. He can see the most tragic event tragic by ordinary sociocultural standards as a phase of growth.[3]
