Gonggong in Astrology Blog
Gonggong was a Chinese water dragon responsible for the chaos of floods, landslides, and the tilt of the Earth in ancient Chinese legends.
It’s a metaphor for a kind of experience that is synonymous with Gonggong in Pisces as astrological influence, connected to ‘once in a century’ type flood devastation and lack of disaster preparedness.
According to Wikipedia: “Gonggong is a Chinese water god who is depicted in Chinese mythology and folktales as having a copper human head with an iron forehead, red hair, and the body of a serpent, or sometimes the head and torso are human, with the tail of a serpent. He is destructive and is blamed for various cosmic catastrophes.”
‘Water dragon’ Gonggong is known from the late Warring States period (before 221 BC). Gonggong appears in the ancient "Heavenly Questions" (Tianwen) poem of the Chu Ci, where he is blamed for knocking the earth's axis off center, causing it to tilt to the southeast and the sky to tilt to the northwest. This axial tilt is used to explain why the rivers of China generally flow to the southeast, especially the Yangzi River and the Yellow River, and why the sun, moon, and stars move towards the northwest.
The trans-Neptunian dwarf planet discovered in 2007 is named after Gonggong. To understand why this story is so relevant to events in China, consider the massive river systems that flood and rage annually, that has been unprecedented in the scale of damage in 2022, and see the details in the articles listed below.
The Gonggong Yod came into 3 degree orb afforded a Yod around mid 2016 when Varuna moved into Leo, however Yods like this are often highly pronounced when in tight orb, and towards the end of them being in tight orb.
