Don’t Mention the War: People Power Tramples a
Final Frontier
“This is a country area, so after a hard day it’s
nice to drive in to Stettin and go to a café,” said Detlef Horn, reflecting on
how some rural Germans now choose to spend their evenings by going to Poland to
relax. Horn and his fellow inhabitants of German towns with Polish names like
Löcknitz, Penkun and Zerrenthin are quietly changing world history. They live
close to Germany ’s border
with Poland
and cross over as part of their daily lives: to go shopping, to go to the
movies, to eat out, to visit the doctor or dentist. This isn’t just any
national boundary. The German-Polish border is one of history’s most contested
and fought-over. Adolf Hitler set off World War II in 1939 when he invaded Poland with the
goal of creating Lebensraum, more space, for Germans to live in. [1]
The current
New Moon at Löcknitz and other places mentioned above was on the MC and
therefore extremely significant. The New Moon [10cp57] and Pluto [11cp16] conjoin stars of the Archer and
the Eagle both related to the military and by association with war so that
Diana Rosenberg lists “great historical battles” under
these stars. Uranus – Pluto square refers to the end of an old order and the
beginning of a new one. While Jupiter [16cn03] which is conjunct Tau Geminorium
[15cn38], of Castor has been retrograding over [20cn24], alpha Geminorium a star connected
with the Indian nakshatra Punarvasu “The Two who are Good or Prosperous again” , Volguine has “Brothers reunited”. With this background it is easy to see why the
Poles and Germans are coming together. As always there is never just one
indicator for major events. Saturn [20sc24] in the New Moon chart is conjunct the
star Zubeneschamali [19sc34]of the Scales. Nick Fiorenza writing about the two
important stars of the Scales Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali says:
In addition to indicating the need of the
incarnating soul to grow through the balance of experience, Zubenelgenubi
[15sc16] and Zubeneschamali can be
considered the karmic and dharmic seats for humanity, the former about our past
experience and patterns of growth, and the latter about our future path of
experience and growth, that which we have yet to do, our capacity, or duty in a
sense, to do it differently; by choosing to move from the patterns and
scenarios of the past and to participate in a new way, to step into a new way
of being, upon a new path of experience—in essence to complete one’s destiny or
incarnational purpose of soul growth.
