Musings: Occultation of Regulus by Erigone 2014

On 20 March 2014 2.06 am EDT, Regulus, one of the brightest royal stars, got eclipsed by Erigone for a couple of seconds.

I completely forgot about it.

And then it occurred to me that it had to mean something, if you think like an ancient astronomer/astrology.

But I have zero knowledge of who Erigone is.

In Greek mythology, Erigone was the daughter of Icarius of Athens. Icarius was from Athens. He was cordial towards Dionysus, who gave his shepherds wine. They became intoxicated and killed Icarius, thinking he had poisoned them. His daughter, Erigone, and her dog, Maera, found his body. Erigone hanged herself over her father’s grave. Dionysus was angry and punished Athens with making all of the city’s maidens commit suicide in the same way. Erigone was placed in the stars as the constellation Virgo.

Still no idea about it.

I wonder if it signifies Regulus' official passing of power from Leo to Virgo. Or something more.

Regulus signifies royalty, noble mind, frankness, courage, authority and dignity.

With it being hidden, is it a sign of loss of leadership power and dignity? And that there's more to come.

"In an ancient tablet from Ninevah, the following omen is found: 

If the star of the Great Lion is gloomy the heart of the people will not rejoice."

On 20 March, Russia sent troops into Crimea for a forced takeover.

I fear things are starting to brew from here.
