Paul the Octopus

According to an anonymous donor on Answers.com, Paul the Octopus was born in January, 2008 in Weymouth England. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_%28octopus%29.

This matches what I heard on the radio in an interview with Paul's person who said that Paul is 2 1/2 years old. That's very old for an octopus, and Paul is now said to be exhausted and going into retirement. Considering that Paul probably has his share of planets in Capricorn, the sign of the old goat, I think it's great that Paul became famous for sharing his great wisdoms at such an old age.

So I had heard a long time ago that Octopi are the most sensitive creatures on earth. This is proof. Paul predicted World Cup wins with 100 percent accuracy this year. 7 for 7. Where can one find that kind of talent among the human set? No where. That's where. I almost got sick watching some idiot reporter on CNN cracking jokes about eating Paul. She was throwing a dead Octopus around and making sushi chef jokes.

Paul would have been born during a Jupiter-Pluto conjunction over the cusp of Sagittarius and Capricorn. Pluto changed signs during January, 2008, which is a very significant occurance as well because Pluto's orbit is so long and transit so slow. If Paul were born towards the end of the month Paul would have Pluto at 1 Capricorn opposing a Mars Retrograde in Gemini. Gemini rules the arms and Mars rules the Head so it's pretty interesting that an octopus who is all arms and head with this aspect becomes famous. That certainly assures Paul a moment of fame in his life. Perhaps this is a break through moment in inter-species communications and respect although from what I saw from the CNN reporter maybe not.

I think that Beethoven had both Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn and I can certainly see that this is a combination that bestows great genius. Add the Mars and I guess we get someone with good aim, whether physically or psychically, I doubt the Stars care.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt to add a Uranus-Neptune mutual reception to one's astrological composite for great psychic abilities. Paul probably reincarnates at the drop of a hat.

Mercury was in Capricorn-Aquarius during January. Venus was in Sagittarius and Capricorn during that month. There was a total Lunar Eclipse the next month in February.
