Algol over Iran
by Dorothy J. Kovach on Jun.18, 2009, under Algol, Traditional Astrology
There’s a natural mystic
Blowin’ through the air.
If you listen carefully now you will hear
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last.
Many more will have to suffer.
Many more will have to die.
Don’t ask me why.
Things are not the way they used to be
-Bob Marley
Algol is said to make us lose our heads over trivial matters. However, because the Medusa is binary and eclipsed, and sits in the last decante of Taurus, the most patient of signs, she sometimes looks the other way for too long. Then when she finally reacts, well, she can be likened to a pot of water left to boil for too long. First, it patiently bubbles. Then it stammers, steam protruding in all directions. Finally, the last drop of moisture evaporates, and the pot turns red hot, and bursts into flame. And the rest, is history!
