ISIS, the brutal insurgent/terrorist group formerly
known as al Qaeda in Iraq ,
has seized much of western and northern Iraq
and even threatens towns not far from Baghdad .
From where did ISIS spring? One of George W.
Bush's most toxic legacies is the introduction of al Qaeda into Iraq , which is the ISIS
mother ship. CNN; June 16
Charts
drawn for the phases of the Moon at the capital of a country are good
indicators for prevailing events. The Disseminating Moon occurred on June 16 in mid-sidereal Capricorn (tropical
10aq) conjunct Albali of Aquarius. For Washington , DC , on the 10th
house cusp is Neptune [7pi35]. Since the 10th
house rules the Government, the position of Neptune
here indicates leaders are at a loss or indecisive. It also squares the
currently directed Sibly Uranus [8ge] discussed
in a previous post [1].
Jupiter
[23cn29] is conjunct the stars Pollux [23cn25] and Procyon [25cn52]. Pollux
often depicted with club in his hand is linked with violence, invasions and great historic battles. [2]
According to tradition (with Procyon) there is also
a tendency to a hot temper and impudence. Rise and success are found with it,
but fall from high position later, is indicated. Enterprises created in haste
therefore do not last. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin,
1928, p.43.]
People who built their castles on sand are discovering that the tide has changed (and
that piddly little bump is where their
fortress used to be.)
About the
stars that are conjunct Neptune [7pi35], Diana
Rosenberg writes [4]:
There is an involvement here with the primitive in
both the best and the worst sense: a love of ancient traditions and deep
sources of their national, racial or tribal inheritance, but at the same time a
potential for rabid, primal aggression and a belief that “might makes right”. Brutal
attacks and expressions of race and religious prejudice can take place.
To the
foregoing, let us add the insights obtained from stars conjunct the two
luminaries – the Moon and Sun and the
Ascendant.
The Sun [25ge11]
conjoins Al Hecka,[24ge59] the South Horn of the Bull
Al Hecka, Zeta Taurus, the south horn, is of
stalemates, standoffs, and brick walls—fighting old and antiquated
crusades—particularly of a religious-political nature—and blindly or
automatically continuing the fight out of habitual pattern even though the
original purpose behind what we were fighting for is long gone. Al Hecka can
express as beating one’s head against the wall, a relentless and futile
pursuit. Al Hecka brings attention to when the accomplishment pursued is of a
time no longer applicable—the time to surrender the physical struggle and move
onward into a field of mutual cooperation.[5]
The
Ascendant [27ge15] is conjunct Alpha (α) Orion, Betelgeuze, [28ge57] an orange or "ruddy" star marking
the right armpit or shoulder of the Hunter, or Giant or Warrior. In China this was
Tsan, the Supreme Commander of an Army. In India it was the determinant star
of Ardra. Ardra, was depicted as a Gem,
with Rudra, the storm-god, for its presiding divinity, and so, perhaps, the
origin of the long established stormy character of Orion.
The Moon
[10aq11] conjoins Albali [11aq56].
Albali, Epsilon Aquarius, marks a significant shift
in sidereal Capricorn, compared to earlier Capricorn. Albali begins the overlap
of the constellations of Aquarius and Capricorn. All of this is about shifting the nature of Capricorn from
a more exclusive and self-focused character, common to earlier Capricorn, to
one that is wiser, more inclusive and embracing of other people. [6]
In consequence, this is a precarious place in
mid-Capricorn, one requiring balance. Here we find the ramifications of
applying our arsenal of strategic tools (whether for war or peace)—hopefully
strength applied in balance rather than a blind force applied from personal
interest alone without concern for all involved. When force is applied
without concern for the surrounding effect, the ramifications may be such that
there is nothing left after the fact but few spectacular rings of light and
dust.
Putting the
foregoing pieces together, we get a good idea about why Bush’s war on terror
went awry.
