Friday evening a young man died in an arena: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/aug/31/fan-falls-from-upper-level-of-georgia-dome/?partner=popular the fall occurred at about 8:30 PM EDT in Atlanta, GA, on August 31, 2012. The young man, a resident of Lenoir City, TN, died later that evening in the hospital.
This was the opening game of the season for the University of Tennessee Volunteers Football Team, and their opponents Georgia State. For this reason, the fall and the death are more indicative of things to come, as it is the BEGINNING of the season.
The fall occurred as Mars, planet of violence and brutality, was in the 8th House of Death, sextile Sun, indicator of the life force, and both quincunx the planet of sudden events, Uranus. This formed a fateful pattern called a Yod, or Finger of God. A young man, Mars, had his life snuffed out, Sun, suddenly, Uranus!
I have learned about the importance of omens, events that coincide with first actions or decisions that may signify their importance or future, from the work of astrologers Mark Lerner, with his Planet Earth magazine and website, and Ray Grasse. Grasse wrote the book The Waking Dream: Unlocking the Symbolic Language of Our Lives, which I recommend to anyone interested in symbols. Both men advocate watching for coincidences. One would be the death of 20-year old Tennessean, Jonathon Kelly, on Friday. But there is another that speaks of arenas. Friday was the anniversary of the birth of famed Roman Emperor, the Third Emperor of the Roman Empire, Caligula. Caligula was a hugely controversial figure. Few contemporary accounts exist of him, but those accounts depict a man of cruelty and many evil actions, along with drunkenness and sexual licentiousness. Caligula was assassinated by his own people before he served 5 years. Caligula was the emperor during what was called the Gladiator Games. These “games” were held in Rome at the largest arena available, which was the Colloseum after its construction in 80 CE. But the Gladiatorial Games date from 264 BCE to 435 CE, and killed 3.5 million people, making them the 28th worst atrocity of human history according to historian Matthew White, writing in his recent book The Great Big Book of Horrible Things: The Definitive Chronicle of History’s 100 Worst Atrocities.
How does Caligula figure into this story? Wikipedia quotes Gregory Aldrete’s "Daily life in the Roman City", “Once at some games at which he [Caligula] was presiding, he ordered his guards to throw an entire section of the crowd into the arena during intermission to be eaten by animals because there were no criminals to be prosecuted and he was bored.”
Perhaps there is a human thirst for a spectacle, for public death and sacrifice, and as the planets align this occurs.
