Recently, not far from where I live, the following tragedy unfolded. A 45 year old woman, suffering from dwarfism, got lost in the woods and was kept alive by the little dog of her daughter. The full story can be found at: http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,25240877-5012895,00.html

The chart is set for the approximate time Mrs. Burkitt got lost in the woods in Snowdonia. Cornell tells us that a typical indication of dwarfism can be: “… if the Lord of the Ascendant and the Moon in the last degree of a sign”. If we consider that the Moon is just on the cusp, the chart, describing Mrs. Burkitt, seems to be radical. If we turn our interest to the little Chihuahua, we look at the Lord of the 6th house, Jupiter. He is in very good shape, being direct, fast moving and oriental. Interestingly both Jupiter and the Moon are peregrine, lost wanderers in the woods. Looking at the aspects, we find that Moon and Jupiter will perfect their conjunction in one unit of time – after about 24 hours, the ordeal will have come to an end and the little dog will have succeeded in its live saving efforts. The Part of Fortune in the 11th house, the house of friends, indicates the relationship between human and animal. If we have a look at the fixed stars, we find Moon’s South Node conjunct Asellus Borealis and Asellus Australis. This indicates a fearless nature with a tendency to take risks. Furthermore we find Mars conjunct Fomalhault which is traditionally associated with fame and is said to stimulate mental capabilities. Mrs. Burkitt, according to the papers, remembered how to survive in the wilderness and kept on singing and dancing!
I miss something, here you are considering the Moon at the beginning of the Aquarius or at the end of Capricorn?
The Moon could be at the end of Capricorn, true?
In every case, we have the same in Centiloquium:
52. The lords of the genitures of men of tall stature are in their sublimities, and their horoscopes in the beginnings of signs: but the lords of their nativities who are of short stature, are found in their falls:
In this case Moon would be at the end of the sign and in her detriment in a sign of short ascension.
And the story about the little dog is very nice, even if I have a preference for cats, everybody knows
Hello Margherita,
The time I used for this chart is not certain, so it may well be that the Moon was in the last degree of Capricorn when it all began (after 10:00 AM).
Thank you for the Centiloquium quote – it makes it all the more traditional
