Is Obama ready for an about-face to recognize Assad?

High expectations based on unconfirmed reports swirled around Arab capitals Sunday, Dec. 14, that US President Barack Obama, in league with Moscow and Tehran, had turned his longstanding anti-Assad policy on its head. He was said to be willing to accept Bashar Assad’s rule and deem the Syrian army the backbone of the coalition force battling the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. If these expectations are borne out by the Obama administration, the Middle East would face another strategic upheaval: The US and Russia would be on the same side, a step toward mending the fences between them after the profound rupture over Ukraine, and the Washington-Tehran rapprochement would be expanded. http://bit.ly/1DDUOIz

To understand these developments, we begin by looking at the US-Russia Davison Relationship Chart (DRC) which was presented and analyzed in a previous post [1]. Here is a relevant extract from that post:

Shown here is the Davison Relationship Chart (DRC) for Russia and the US. The data for the two charts are available at references [1] and [2]. The table below gives the current solar arc directions in the DRC.

These directions are well known to produce adversities of all kinds and a breakdown in relationships. Events in the last one year appear to support these delineations.

A further confirmation comes from the current Uranus-Pluto square which falls on the DRC angles. Pluto transit to the IC square the horizon axis is interpreted as follows:

Others are forcing upheaval or crisis; they are “coming on too strong”; to see group members “swing their weight around” and establish power [3].

Uranus-Pluto

To see attempts to force change or rupture; change or unexpected reactions based on resentments, compulsion, ultimatums or threats to control; power struggle with friends or within groups; to encounter psychological volatility; aware of sudden events associated with large scale changes [3] 

So what is changing now for the  news item to be speculating about a strategic upheaval in Middle East politics? Well notice that Uranus-Pluto have just completed their sixth exact square on December 15 and Uranus is about to station direct in about a week’s time. Since the Uranus-Pluto square affects the US-Russia chart these changes are likely to result in the strategic upheaval  discussed above.
