Venus and empowerment of feminine in US military

WASHINGTON — Senior defense officials say Pentagon chief Leon Panetta is removing the military’s ban on women serving in combat, opening hundreds of thousands of front-line positions and potentially elite commando jobs after more than a decade at war.

The groundbreaking move recommended by the Joint Chiefs of Staff overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units.

Readers may recall the much talked about  the rare Venus transit over the face of the Sun that occurred on June 6,2012. Just two days before this event was a lunar eclipse about which Nick Fiorenza wrote:

Our Full Moon eclipse brings us from our original Perseus-Pleiades Eclipse New Moon theme to the perspective provided by Ophiuchus and Hercules. The Lunar Partial Eclipse is the second stage of our eclipse lunar cycle. It provides an opportune time to surrender emotionally as well as any need to be in control. It invites us to surrender our very human mold, that sense of self that we hold together with the tension of our thoughts and beliefs. It invites us to become energetically wide open to breathe in the infusion of feminine energy about to emblazon the Earth through the Venus Transit. It brings us to the realization that this lunar cycle is about establishing a greater equilibrium between the masculine and feminine principles with in ourselves, and to claim a greater level of self mastery by doing so, which we can then express throughout our lives and into the world.[1]

Essentially the Venus transit and the eclipse were about the empowerment of the feminine. That this eclipse was important for Washington can be seen from the chart above. Notice that it is placed square the meridian axis. Additionally the now familiar  T-square of Kronos-Pluto-Uranus-Hades – need for change of outdated rules- is on the horizon axis. But more interesting is the eclipse chart progressed  to Jan 23, 2013. Notice the T-square along with Uranus opposite TNP Zeus [2] (the military) is once again aligned with the horizon axis. Empowerment of the feminine takes place in the military!
