The Little Mermaid

As the Icebergs melt this summer at what Scientists say is an alarming rate, the Media is really digging into the bottom of the barrel to seek out fun stories of glitz and glamour to distract us from reality.

The Israelis are claiming that they are being visited by a Mermaid who wiggles her sorry tail up on shore at a beach resort called Kiryat Yam at Sunset and performs tricks for the tourists and then dashes out to sea again. The news story told about previous Mermaid sitings, even LiveScience is posting this one, and when I saw that one of them occurred in Scotland back in 1830 when a little boy is said to have killed a mermaid by throwing rocks at her I sort of got sucked into the story. I sort of remembered that the last Uranus-Neptune mutual reception was back at that time. And since the Scots don't lie (...), and they even made up a story about how she looked like a 3-year old girl and they buried her in a proper funeral, it was starting to sound real.

And so I thought, hey, maybe this is a magical Uranus-Neptune mutual reception thing. I'll believe it if everyone else does. (I also believe that the poles are about to shift because the water from the melting icebergs will knock the weight distribution on earth all paddy wacky. Silly me.)

Well, it turns out that back in 1830 when the evil little brat killed probably what was somebody's little girl, Uranus was in Aquarius but Neptune was in Capricorn. The mutual reception wasn't quite happening yet.

But, when P.T. "A Sucker's Born Every Minute" Barnum sold tickets to his "FeeJee Mermaid" exhibit back in 1842, which was proven to be a hoax ... that was when Uranus was in Pisces and Neptune was in Aquarius.
