Alexis Tsipras, Greece’s radical prime minister,
met with his eurozone creditors in Brussels on Wednesday evening over the terms
of his country remaining in the single currency, as the five-year crisis
centred on debt and democracy moved towards a climax.
Tsipras joined the president of the European
commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, for dinner and a battle of wills over
conflicting ideas for resolving Greece’s financial catastrophe, although many
believe the best they are likely to agree is a fix to buy more time. Although
the meeting went well, it ended without a deal. However, there were positive
expressions from participants afterwards and Jeroen Dijsselbloem, president of
the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, said that there was more to come. “We
will continue our talks in a few days,” Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance
minister, told reporters after emerging in the early hours of Thursday morning
from the meeting. Tsipras had gone to argue for acceptance of a 47-page reform
programme he handed his creditors this week. Juncker was charged with
presenting him with a quite different blueprint, drafted following an emergency
summit of national and international leaders in Berlin on Monday. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jun/03/greece-finance-chief-prepare-confront-eu-creditors-climax-nears
The meeting
in Brussels took place on June 3, just after the Full Moon. A chart for the
Full Moon phase at Brussels is shown here. Notice that the luminaries along
with Mercury-Mars-Saturn occupy the 2nd to 8th houses. These are houses
connected with financial institutions and
national debt while the planetary combination is related arguments and disagreements. In
particular, Mercury is conjunct stars of the Hyades, a cluster in the face of
the aggressive or stubborn Bull. Diana Rosenberg writes that “these stars are
not conducive to negotiations”[1].
