Major defence deals set to be signed during Putin-Modi summit







Russian President Vladimir Putin will arrive in New Delhi, (on Dec.11) this month, for his summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to further strengthen the “special, privileged strategic partnership” between the two countries. In the run up to the summit, the two leaders have already reaffirmed that defence cooperation is an important pillar of bilateral strategic partnership which will be high on the agenda of their talks. It is expected that during the summit, Russia and India may ultimately resolve several long-delayed agreements on military-technical cooperation projects between the two countries and sign them finally for their implementation. These agreements, above all, include joint Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) project and joint development of Multi-role Transport Aircraft (MTA)






A Lunation chart drawn for the midpoint between the capitals of two countries engaged in a dialogue will often reveal the purpose of the meeting. Shown here is the chart for the current Full Moon drawn for the midpoint between Moscow and Delhi. Notice that the luminaries are placed exactly on the horizon axis.

The Moon [14ge] is placed on the Ascendant conjunct the star Rigel [17ge]. Beta (β) Orion, Rigel, is the 7th brightest star in the sky in the left foot of the Hunter or Warrior.  So it should not be surprising to learn that the meeting is primarily about a defence deal and military hardware. Also the presence of Columba, the Dove here supplies an interest in flights so that in combination with Orion, the warrior, we have  an interest in military aircrafts.  This is further confirmed by a quincunx aspect from the Ascendant [12ge] and the Moon [14ge] to Pluto [12cp] which is conjunct the stars Nunki and 4 Aquilae.

Nunki, Sigma (σ) Sagittarius  (12cp33)  is the  powerful left shoulder of the Archer’s bow bracing arm, his eye (Ain al Rami) takes aim with full confidence of hitting any target.  4 Aquilae (12cp33) a star in the constellation  of the Eagle associated with the military in general but more specifically with the air force combines with Nunki of the Archer to produce a perfect symbol for a military aircraft!
