For a Regional Horoscope

Professor Chicoana Fuentes invited me to dinner at the celebration of the Autumn End in the Association of Regional Astrology Friends, which was held on Tuesday June 19 from 21 hs in the Dr. Dallrymple barbecue room  in the street Seguí of Adrogué.

At dessert - we ate like hungry Vikings pig roast and braised cows.

The wine and desserts were served at point blank range and the delights of chocolate and sweet milk and cream seemed to be gifts of the Egyptian gods.

Before I knew it, Dr. Dallrymple gave an overview of the events organized by the organization during 2013. He was interrupted by applause several times but when he mentioned the name of Devendra Singh Sharma, the ovation lasted several minutes and I could see tears in my table mates.

One of them, sitting in front of me made ​​a comment to the young boy sitting next to him:

    "The Protector of the signs of Fall and Spring”.

Intrigued I did not dare ask Chicoana the meaning of such recognition made ​​in a whisper, tears and a standing ovation.

I had to wait Chicoana exposure to learn of the life and work of Devendra Singh Sharma.

According to Buddhist tradition, during one of the many tribal conflicts that afflict the border region known as the Triangle of Sapphire, an Enlightened One proposed to the Chinese army generals formed a special regiment composed of men born in 1952 under the sign of Aries.

When the generals asked what was so special about the months of March and April of that year. the Venerable showed off parchments sky charts and fragments of lost books to convince them of the correctness of the explanation: Over the next 47 days would be repeated Astral Figures of the monks who protected Tashkent of the brutal attack of the Red Army in that year. What was different was the sign of the protagonists: The Inclined were all born under the sign of Capricorn, especially gifted in permanent meditation.

The war strategic responsible not hesitate, for even the least awake knows that born under the fire of Aries is an excellent demolishing of obstacles, walls, trenches.

And, excited by the prospect of a quick victory over the unruly monks the generals deployed along fifty miles of front,  the Aryan contingent.

Seventeen days after the victory achieved but found that the losses were very large on three specific points: the hills 345, 214 and 78.

Devendra was in that conflict a newly promoted lieutenant and was the only one who cared to study the phenomenon that his superiors attributed to mere statistical issue.

After two and half decades of constant studies Devendra verified that  enemy soldiers were on the three hills of the following signs:

Hill 345: 223 Piscis (23 dead, 17 wounded  and the rest unharmed), 22 Sagitarios (11 dead, 11 unharmed), 58 Tauros (unharmed), 19 Aries (all dead).

Hill 214: 192 Escorpios (2 dead, 64 wounded, the rest unharmed), 15 Piscis (unharmed), 87 Tauros (60 dead, the rest unharmed). 34 Aries (30 wounded, the rest unharmed).

Colina 78: 18 Virgo (unharmed), 14 Libra (unharmed), 9 Leo (dead), 13 Sagitario (wounded), 108 Aries (60 dead, 15 wounded).

The casualties in the army of Devendra were:

Hill 345: 198 arianos dead (all belonging to the platoons that attacked from the northwest). Those who attacked from the south and southeast had only minor injuries.

Hill 214: 263 arianos wounded despite having attacked the enemy positions for three directions.

Hill 78: 106 arianos dead (belonging to the platoons that attacked by the river bed , of the Huang Tse )

Encouraged by their findings, Devendra traveled the world looking for data to confirm their hypothesis: "The stars influence people but it all depends on where a person is".

This "zodiacal relativism" scandalized the astrologers who formulate ”universal”  predictions

Chicoana Professor Fuentes was clear by his example: There is a difference aries traveling from Plaza Constitución to Banfield that an Aries traveling from Glew to Lomas de Zamora, but do so at the same time.

Excited by the news I dared to participate in the final debate with a question: Can we say without betraying Devendra theory is not the same an Aries sat at one end of the table to another Aries sitting on the other?

Chicoana looked at me and slowly took off his glasses, as if doing so might look better, and murmured:

"Two Pisces sitting side by side on an airplane that collapses may have a different ending."

When the evening ended, walking down the cobbled of the Segui street  I followed to the ferrocarril station since that night I realized that was the only Aries in the world and vowed to only read the horoscopes that, at least, make specific predictions for Arians living in West North of Longchamps.

For not feel so alone like Robinson Crusoe on a implacable ocean of stars.
