Nato shows signs of battle fatigue

Six months after the Kremlin stunned Europe with its land grab  in Ukraine, a Nato summit in Wales unveiled its ideas for shoring up security in eastern Europe. For more than two decades, the alliance had been beset by self-doubt. Having won the cold war, what was the point any more? Putin gave the military planners at Mons and the armies of bureaucrats in Brussels a new lease of life. Nato’s core purpose – facing down and containing Russia – was newly legitimised. The summit decided to put a spearhead force at brigade strength, more than 5,000 men, into Poland and the Baltics at short notice: small units of special forces within hours, bigger reinforcements within days, at the first hint of trouble. That was six months ago. But since the September summit, the plan has atrophied, bogged down in endless circular discussions of who does what, when and where. Who pays for it? Where is the kit coming from? Will the Americans step up to relieve the Europeans? Who will be in command? http://bit.ly/1udSPX5

The horoscope [1]  for NATO is based on the data provided by Nick Campion.

"The treaty came into being at 11.42 a.m. on 24 August 1949 when, folllowing the ratification of the treaty by France,  President Truman signed the document bringing the treaty into force." Nicholas Campion, The Book of World Horoscopes, p. 483.

Of all progressions, those to the Sun, Moon and the angles are considered the most important.The table below gives the current day for year secondary progressions to the radix Sun. In addition the directed solar arc MC [12li51] is within half a degree of radix Neptune [13li22] in the 12^th house.

In his book “The Combination of Stellar Influences,” Reinhold Ebertin gives us the following interpretation:

Mars-Neptune-Node: Undermining of associations through lack of stability, unreliability. Weakness of will or negative attitude. Association with weak or sick persons.

Neptune/MC : Aimlessness and lack of purpose; a lack of self-confidence

These keyphrases seem to tell us exactly  what is wrong with NATO currently. A further confirmation comes from the fact that  Neptune  is currently transiting opposite the Sun-Moon-Saturn combination in the 11^th  which is interpreted by H.S. Green[2] as:

Much confusion and delay in the legislature; little or no progress is made; there may be discontent and division within one or other of the parties involved. Bills and Motions are obstructed or fail to pass.
