German anger over Greek demand for war reparations



Germany has reacted with anger and defiance to Greek government demands for multibillion-euro reparation payments over first and second world war atrocities which have further deepened the rift between the two countries. Greece’s justice minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos said Athens was prepared to approve a court ruling to seize German property in the country – including the Goethe Institute, the German Archaeological Institute, German schools and holiday homes if Berlin refused to pay €341bn (£240bn) in compensation.

To understand this news we will go back to the chart for the solar eclipse of April 29, 2014 drawn for the midpoint between Athens and Berlin. Given below is a summary extract about the eclipse from Nick Fiorenza [1].

The eclipse nests between Juno (asteroid of relationships and ways of interrelating) and Mercury (of personal communication and daily logistics). This New Moon Eclipse conjoins Hamal of Aries; Schedar and Achird of Cassiopeia; Adhil of Andromeda; and Kaffaljidhma of Cetus, the brain of the fear-instilling techno-bureaucratic monster of collective human consciousness. Hamal and Schedar can express as power struggles amongst leaders or those who are headstrong, with lessons about how arrogance creates struggle in the material world; and how compassion opens the way through. These stars often motivate headstrong self-initiated action for attainment, sometimes of a righteous forceful nature, but also inviting us to recognize each of us are responsible for the collective consciousness we find ourselves in—the reality of our personal lives and that of our world we uphold by consensus. Some people will continue to blame our techno-bureaucratic monster on every thing and every one outside of self, a victim mentality perpetuating our human condition and the entrapments we find ourselves in, while others will use this opportunity to responsibly create a new world paradigm.


Notice that the powerful Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto-Mars-Zeus  Cardinal Grand Cross is anchored through hard aspects to the meridian axis. A Cardinal Grand Cross symbolizes the potential to break through as well as break free from whatever enslaves. Pluto in the 8th speaks of financial obligations between partners.  With the TNP Zeus linked to war, the Zeus-Pluto interaction points towards war reparation payments. Mars in Libra – the sign of justice in relationships – is a call for action and can  override the caution and consciousness of more mindful responses while the tension of the Grand Cross can bring relationships suffering from the stress and strain to a breaking point.






Progressing the eclipse chart to March 12, the date of the news, aligns the Grand Cross with the meridian. This explains why the breaking point is being reached now.
