Happy 11th birthday to a.a.m !

And also happy (slightly delayed) first birthday to Uranica.com
- if you go by the date the domain was registered - 7 Nov 2008 !

I particularly liked the astro-specialized searches (books and
uranica.com), which I would symbolically maybe relate mostly to
Pluto in Capricorn (the creation of minimal structures on top
of an associative search engine approach (more Pluto in Sag.)),
and, of course, the Regulus/heart logo... :)

I guess many beautiful things are at the moment in sort of a
"Dornröschenschlaf" (the sleep of Sleeping Beauty); related
maybe mostly to Uranus in Pisces, with the largest part of the
constellation standing for the "mother", the horizontal fish;
in my model of the star signs the water that must flow down
and mix universally like in the sea, before it can rise again
into the air; the vertical fish, the "son/redeemer" in the
last degrees of the constellation. (See Liz Greene in "The
Astrology of Fate" for the ancient mythological background or
also how Robert Hand relates the constellation of Pisces to
events in the Age of Pisces in his 1982 "Essays on Astrology"
(Schiffer Publishing), in the latter case in reverse order
since Ages come in reverse order, i.e. the "son" until about
the 4th century CE when the "word" (air) of Christian Religion
was settled, and then for most of the Age the "mother"...

: [...] the Regulus/heart logo... :)

About a day or so later, I heard something on TV
about "The Little Prince" by Antoine de St. Exupery,
namely the following quote:

French:
* Adieu, dit le renard. Voici mon secret. Il est
* tres simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur.
* L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.

English:
* Goodbye, said the fox. Here's my secret; it's
* very simple: we see well only with the heart.
* The essential is invisible to the eyes.

I then went to amazon.fr because I had never read The
Little Prince, and ordered a copy and afterwards
amazon usually shows related books and one caught my
attention, because it had the title "Regulus" and as
I could see in the small cover image it had apparently
practically the same cover as The Little Prince. So
I clicked on it and it turned out that it was a Latin(!)
translation of The Little Prince, since "regulus" is
apparently latin for "little king" or "little prince".

Saint Exupery, this apparently so tough war pilot with
Mars at the MC, see chart here,

http://www.astrotheme.com/portraits/z7HKbvy4mg52.htm

who also wrote one of the most read children's books
in the world, and has an unaspected retrograde Venus
in Cancer, has no planets near Regulus in his chart.
But his wife, Consuelo Suncin Sandoval de Gomez (* 10
April 1901), has aspects to his Venus in synastry:
from Mercury in Pisces (trine), n.node in Scorpio
(trine), and also sun (square) and Saturn, and has at
least Mars around 23 Leo losely conjunct Regulus, and
he was born in Lyon (=Lion) in France.

That shows also why it is difficult to prove astrology
in a formal scientific way. One way of looking at it
would be to label my "virtual journey" simply as
_selective perception_: Because I had read here about
Regulus, that word caught my attention at amazon.fr.
And I only visited amazon.fr maybe because I have the
sun in Leo and have a fox as the animal on my own web
site (c.f. quote on top). But then again that does not
at all capture the magic and the subtle connections
between such things, since Regulus is also the heart
of the lion, as also in "we see well only with the
heart" and is hence not expressible in terms of words
or numbers, as also in this quote by Heraclitus about
sun god Apollon:

* The lord whose oracle is in Delphi neither speaks
* nor conceals, but indicates / gives a sign.

-- Source: The Weeping Philosopher, Conrad H. Roth
http://vunex.blogspot.com/2008/08/weeping-philosopher.html
"And if scholars love the oracle, so they love Heraclitus
on the oracle even more. Heraclitus, quoted in Plutarch,
writes, '[see link below for greek original text]' (H93).
The lord whose oracle is in Delphi neither legei nor
kryptei, but semainei. You see I have not translated the
key words. Legei is usually 'speaks', kryptei 'conceals',
and semainei 'indicates' or 'gives a sign'."

I have actually had the little prince in my mind during the making of
the website. :-) I was thinking of making him our ”mascot”, but it
seems the book, and the images, is not in the public domain until next
decade or so. The images are so wonderfully naïve, in a very lovely
way. And the book is full of sentences that just beg to be quoted.
"Seeing with the heart" is, I think, a Sufi concept and I would not be
surprised if that was known to the author. Anyhow, it is known by me
and part of my thought in connecting the star with the heart.

I am very happy this line of association could be felt as these things
were all part of the logo coming into being. :-)

The Heraclitean quote, btw, is a very important one, as they all are.
One marvels at his wisdom.

If I remember it correctly, uranica.com was actually created to match
the solar return of aamod. :-)
