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. March 12, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/12/german-anger-over-greek-demand-for-war-reparations
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.
