- It’s long overdue but better late than never that Europe might just be
back-pedalling on America ’s
aggressive agenda towards Russia .
The business-like visit to Moscow this week by Germany ’s Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier
suggests that Europe can come to its senses to seek a diplomatic resolution of
the escalating tensions over the Ukraine crisis – tensions that
could spark a wider continental war, or worse.
Steinmeier met with his Russian counterpart Sergei
Lavrov (Nov.18) in which the pair
stressed the need to find a political end to the violence in Ukraine . The
German diplomat – the first high-level European envoy to Moscow
in several months – also talked about normalising relations between his country
and Russia and of finding a
way to rescind the economic sanctions that Brussels
has imposed on Moscow
over recent months. [1]
Astrologically
speaking we are now in the shadow of a very important mundane event – the Capricorn
Ingress of the Sun – the “master” chart
for the next year. A chart for the Capricorn Ingress drawn for the midpoint
between Berlin and Moscow is shown here. Analysis of this chart can reveal the “potential”
for the relationship between Germany and Russia in the year ahead. And since
Berlin is in a position to influence EU
policies this may also indicate the possible outcome of the present standoff between
EU and Russia .
A few
things that we can see immediately are (a) the powerful Grand Cross on the
angles (b) Jupiter in aspect to Kronos-Hades with Hades conjunct the star Tejat, mu Gemini (c)
Uranus stations direct at [12ar34] on Dec. 21 at 22:44 UT just before the
Ingress.
So let us
see whether we can put these pieces together to understand the “potential” big
picture that the cosmos is trying to reveal. Whether or not Germany and Russia are able to realize this “cosmic
potential” is another matter. Key phrases for some of the elements of the Grand Cross are:
Uranus-Pluto : Change or unexpected reactions based on
resentments, compulsions, ultimatums and threats to control; awareness of power
struggles between friends or within groups.
Jupiter-Hades: Something
bad may have happenend--but it could
turn out to be a good thing. Some
mistake could be fixed better than new – in other words, improvements can occur because of
recognizing past mistakes.
Two Sabian
symbols that of the Ascendant and Uranus are relevant here:
Uranus [13ar] : An
Unexploded Bomb Reveals An Unsuccessful Social Protest.
Keynote: An
immature attempt to change the status quo. The State thwarts attempts at
popular revolution, because these are premature attempts of a consciousness
that is not free but only reacting “wildly” to constraint and to a central
ruling power.
Ascendant [8li]: A
Blazing Fireplace in a Deserted Home
Keynote: There
is always hope of a recovery and new beginning after the abandonment of a
relationship.
A recall of
the incidents in Ukraine
in the recent past will help us understand the symbols above a little better. A
wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine ,
secretly fuelled by the US
and EU began on the night of 21 November 2013 with public protests in Kiev ,
demanding closer European integration. The scope
of the protests expanded, resulting in the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych
and his government and the installation of a pro-EU government. After Russia intervened in eastern Ukraine on behalf of the Russian
speaking population , the revolution ground to a halt primarily because the
Ukranian economy is unable to sustain
itself and the promise of aid from EU and US has not been forthcoming.
In this
context, the Sabian symbol of Uranus is about the “immature” revolt and the
second symbol of the Ascendant reminds us of the Bible story of “The Prodigal
Son” who returns to his father’s home after squandering his fortune [2].
Finally,
the TNP Hades is conjunct the star Tejat, mu Gemini about which Nick Fiorenza
writes:
Tejat brings to the surface that which has been
suppressed, we may see parts of our selves that seem rather dark and opposing
to our emergence—the fears, hesitancies, and blockages within our selves that
we must step through into our paths of fulfillment in the world. Tejat and
Dirah invite us to be willing to walk through the shadows of self to claim our
power and place in the physical world. The more we express the truth of who we
are openly in the world the less forces attempting to suppress that truth have
any power.
So far EU
sanctions have been influenced by the US and have only succeeded in
damaging the European economy. Earlier this week, EU ministers in Brussels
balked at imposing a fourth round of sanctions, showing a growing division over
the policy among European governments and recognising the need to overcome their
fears and hesitancies and step out of the “shadow” of the US .
