Astrology of the NATO-Russia relations






On 27 May 1997, at 1997 Paris NATO summit,  NATO and Russia  signed the Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security, a road map for future NATO-Russia cooperation. Both sides stated they do not see each other as adversaries, and have political commitment to cooperate at creating "lasting and inclusive" peace in Euro-Atlantic area.

In the beginning of March 2014, tensions began flaring between NATO and Russia  after US and EU secret intervention in the Ukraine crisis to install a puppet government. In response Russian troops moved into Crimea to annex the territory that they claim is historically Russian. NATO condemned Russia's actions as a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. Co-operation with Russia was suspended on 1st May 2014.






Here we will use a chart drawn for  noon on 27 May 1997 at Paris to represent the security agreement between NATO and Russia. In the radix chart the TNP Admetus [18ta] is quincunx TNP Apollon [18li]. The current solar arc progression has the TNP Admetus forming a conjunction to the radix Sun within a degree. The delineation for Admetus-Apollon provided by Martha Wescott is:

You may also see that one avoids dealing with certain business associates, that one "postpones" them or that other delays and obstacles  occur. "Cold" can affect business  interests--and this may come in actual temperature form--or be present  in behaviors that are "cold"--as though one is numb and non-reactive.


The Sun [6ge] is conjunct Prima Hyadum. Prima Hyadum dominates Hyades, a powerful cluster of stars in the Bull’s head that forces its natives to choose between tolerance and intolerance; its effect is extreme, intense and unrelenting. Here people tend to make their own rules, with an inner toughness that makes them stubborn and formidable to deal with when confronted head on (recall the image of the charging Bull). In ancient China Pleaides/ Hyades was “The Announcer of the Invasion at the Border” [1]

About Hyades, the Roman astrologer, Manilius wrote:

"The Hyades are a stormy star group and was regarded as a separate constellation. Those born at this time take no pleasure in tranquillity and set no store by a life of inaction; rather they yearn for crowds and mobs and civil disorders. Sedition and uproar delight them; they long for the Gracchi to harangue from the platform, for a secession to the Sacred Mount, leaving but a handful of citizens at Rome; they welcome fights which break the peace and provide sustenance for fears. They herd their foul droves over untilled countryside, for this constellation also begot Ulysses' trusty swineherd (Eumaeus, or Eumaios, was Odysseus' swineherd ). Such are the qualities engendered by the Hyades at the rising of their stars". [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, book 5, p.308-311].

This reminds us of the Euromaidan ,a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine,  secretly engineered by the EU and US,   which began on the night of 21 November 2013 [2][3].

Finally, notice that the solar arc progressed Sun [22ge] has been squaring the radix Mars [22vi] for sometime now. Mars is conjunct the star Denebola [22vi]. Beta (β) Leo, Denebola, is a blue star in the tail of the Lion.

"Who can doubt the nature of the monstrous Lion, and the pursuits he prescribes for those born beneath his sign? The lion ever devises fresh fights and fresh warfare on animals, and lives on spoil and pillaging of flocks. The sons of the Lion are filled with the urge to adorn their proud portals with pelts and to hang up on their walls the captured prey, to bring the peace of terror to the woods, and to live upon plunder. There are those whose like bent is not checked by the city-gates, but they swagger about in the heart of the capital with droves of beasts; they display mangled limbs at the shop-front, slaughter to meet the demands of luxury, and count it gain to kill. Their temper is equally prone to fitful wrath and ready withdrawal, and guileless are the sentiments of their honest hearts" [Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.237.]

But Nick Fiorenza’s commentary on stars in this area appears even more relevant in our context:

Denebola, Beta Leo; Alpha Antilia, of the air pump, Avior of Carina, Argo Navis; and Alkes of Crateris, the cup of salvation. These stars express through the last few degrees of sidereal Leo, creating a diverse polarity of energies that set Leo's back stage.

Alkes / Crateris is the "the Golden Chalice," the "Cup of Salvation" while Denebola is of a foul breeze, indicative of smoke screens and diversions. Denebola, along with earlier Zosma and Chort, create the hind of the lion. This area of the Leo is of those behind the scenes, of the political religious figures manipulating the affairs of the world. To grasp the greater theme of this paradoxical dynamic, an overview of the surrounding heavens is appropriate.

North, above Denebola, the tail of the Lion, is the tail of the Bear, of the constellation of Ursa Major, although lying just across the cusp of sidereal Leo into Virgo. Benatnasch is the tip of the Bear's tail and is the administrative seat of the fallen lords directing the affairs of the Earth--this image articulating the essence of the old totalitarian and dictatorial paradigm on Earth. This mythical imagery is derived from the time when Earth's pole had fallen its furthest from the plane of galactic light in its 25,000-year precessional cycle, which occurred about 6000 years ago, and thus passing over this area of the zodiak--hence a fallen lord. Under the Benatnasch directive, the world powers have over and over again demonstrated the inability to ensure the safe ascension of Earth and Humanity by perpetuating the continual upheavals, wars, and destruction of the peoples of the Earth throughout the ages. Also conjoining Benatnasch, just into sidereal Virgo is Zavijava, which is of the innocent but naïve followers of the manipulative egoic figureheads, following the self-proclaimed political religious gurus of the world.
