The First Task in Exploring Centaurs – Reσnance in the Twentieth Century
The twentieth century bore witness to the discovery of the centaurs, comet-like bodies with notable characteristics of both asteroids and minor planets. Initially thought to be asteroids, these celestial bodies were later identified as centaurs due to their unique orbital architectures in the Kuiper belt.
The first centaur, Chiron, was discovered in 1977, followed closely by Pholus in 1992. The most recent discovery, Nessus, was found in 1993. This trio of centaurs has significantly contributed to Astrology, with Nessus, in particular, drawing focus for its symbolism of abuse and vengeance.
Nessus: A Centaur’s Tale
When discussing Nessus, it’s impossible not to discuss its mythical background. In Greek mythology, Nessus was known for his deceptiveness and violent end, which has translated symbolically into the astrological interpretation of the comet-like body. Whereas the centaur Chiron symbolizes the ‘wounded healer,’ Nessus represents the destructive consequences of obsessional desire and the resulting aftermath of such actions.
The Saturn-Nessus Conjunction and the Release of Julian Assange
Among the notable dispositions of the celestial bodies, the Saturn-Nessus conjunction brought into sharp focus due to its coexistence with the release of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. Assange’s release from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, on April 11 of 2019, coincided with the exact Nessus and Saturn conjunction in Capricorn.
Drawing from the symbolism of Nessus, links can be made to Assange’s situation. Considered as a symbol of abuse and vengeance, Nessus’s conjunction with Saturn, the planet which flattens and contains, could potentially indicate Assange’s release as a form of retribution for his controversial actions and exposure of sensitive material.
Challenging the Status Quo: Assange, Saturn, and Nessus
Assange’s case offers a compelling exploration of the Saturn-Nessus dynamic. Saturn, often associated with structure, discipline, and authority, can represent the world’s governments and established systems. Nessus, on the other hand, symbolizes the exposure and release of damaging secrets—striking parallels can be drawn to Assange’s operations with WikiLeaks.
Furthermore, the Saturn-Nessus conjunction can be interpreted as reflective of Assange’s battle against reigning authoritative entities, a struggle that ultimately led to his confinement within the embassy.
The Double-Edged Sword: A Deeper Analysis
However, it’s essential to note that this Saturn-Nessus conjunction does not solely represent destructive consequences. Instead, it is a double-edged sword. Stop for a moment and consider the broader implications of Assange’s actions. Assange released classified information to the public, leading to a global awakening about certain covert operations undertaken by various governments.
With this perspective, the Saturn-Nessus conjunction can symbolize Assange’s actions liberating suppressed truths, providing public transparency. It is essential to perceive this planetary alignment as not merely punitive but also as an opportunity for growth and evolution on a global scale.
Yet, the struggle remains as to define the balance between government secrecy for safety and the public’s right to transparency, embodied in the Saturn-Nessus conjunction.
Assange’s case is a stark example of the manifestation of the Saturn-Nessus dynamic, offering a fascinating case study for Astrology enthusiasts. Just as the ancient Greeks found wisdom and guidance in the stars, so too do we continue to seek understanding in the celestial movements and their potential impact on personal and global events.
