With divisive Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
finally stepping down, Iraq Iraq
Once again
we will see how an eclipse that is several months old can affect events now. Shown
here is the Solar Eclipse of April 29 2014 at Baghdad
The April New Moon Eclipse conjoins Hamal of Aries;
Schedar and Achird of northern Cassiopeia. Hamal, Alpha Aries, is the butting
head of the Ram, and also the shepherd teaching us how to lead. Hamal reveals
that the struggles we face in the physical world are due to attempts to
forcefully direct our lives or those of others. Such attempts are generally
based upon a separatist, judgmental, and righteous me-against-them attitude,
which often leads us deeper into the initiatory fires of life in which we may
already find ourselves.
Schedar, Alpha Cassiopeia, the head of the Queen,
tightly conjoining Hamal, impels somewhat of a prideful and arrogant tone,
often a head-trip of being lost in the glitter of power upon the human
stage. Immature challenge and boast can express here with ramifications only
accentuating the drama of the tightening jaws of fear-based collective
consciousness (Cetus) and the butting response provided by the head of the Ram.
Hamal and Schedar can express as power struggles amongst leaders or those
who are headstrong, with lessons about how arrogance creates struggle in the
material world; and how compassion opens the way through.
Solar eclipses offer opportunity to redefine
concepts of self and the roles we play in the world, or how we articulate
ourselves in life. They are about shifting octaves in the nature of our
self-perception and self-expression, and addressing issues that keep us from
doing so. They can invite a new beginning, way of life, or new way of
participating in life.
Diana
Rosenberg [2] adds:
Hamal has been linked to the ability to rise to
influential positions, but with the danger of disgrace or ruin, usually caused
by impatience, lack of diplomacy and an inability or unwillingness to refine
their attitudes and actions.
(Note: Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki born June 20, 1950 has his radix Sun parallel to the
star Hamal).
Progressing
the eclipse chart to August 15, the date of the news item, brings the horizon
axis once again in alignment with the Grand Cross thereby triggering the PM’s
resignation. Remember the principle of Uranus-Pluto square in the Grand Cross as
given by Ebertin [3] is :
The process of transformation (the collapse of the
old order of things, the construction of the new).
