Saudi Arabia Imposes Naval Blockade On Red Sea Strait








As noted earlier, the biggest significance of any Yemen conflict has little to do with its own domestic oil production, which at 133,000 bpd is negligible, but due to its location, which not only shares a border with Saudi Arabia, but more importantly due to the Bab el-Mandeb strait which connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden: it is the fourth-biggest shipping chokepoint in the world by volume (3.8 million barrels a day of oil and petroleum products flowed through it in 2013) and is just 18 miles wide at its narrowest point. It’s located between Yemen, Djibouti, and Eritrea, and connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.  March 26 http://bit.ly/1OAFVcY







The Crescent Moon, occurring on March 23 (22 UT), lies in sidereal Aries. The Moon conjoins Ruchbah of Cassiopeia.  

Ruchbah, Delta Cassiopeia, the knee of Queen Cassiopeia, is a star of transformation— a process often occurring in a bit of initiatory fire. Ruchbah imparts the need for transformation of our attitudes. We may feel or even know that something is rightfully ours, but any righteous attitudes that we deserve it, energetically keep away the very thing we want. Ruchbah imparts the need to surrender the righteous attitudes we hold in order to have that which we truly deserve.  [1]

The chart for the Crescent Moon at Riyadh has the now separating Mars-Uranus conjunction  in Aries on the descendant square Pluto.  When Aries is activated as the provocateur in the Uranus-Pluto square in the dynamic tension of juxtaposition to the institutions of society associated with Capricorn, the symbolic possibilities dramatically increase that we would see increased war and violence.

On the descendant with Mars is the star Acamar.

Acamar, Theta 1,2 of ERIDANUS, is a primary stop or stoppage along the long and winding river of Life. Acamar is the dam, and indicates that emergence from the belly of Cetus (the technobureaucratic monster of collective human consciousness) requires a breakthrough that will lead us from the foul digestive juices of Cetus and into a greater freedom of being.[2]

If  we think of Acamar as not just a dam but a choke point in the river of life we have a great visual image of the Bab el-Mandeb strait which connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and  is the fourth-biggest shipping chokepoint as per the news.
