It is not a coincidence that at the intersection of
the two great crises affecting Europe - Ukraine and Greece - is one and the
same person: German Chancellor Angela Merkel. At Russia Insider we have often
commented on how - contrary to her image - Angela Merkel is a weak and
indecisive leader, unable to manage a crisis, whose conduct is best
characterised as drift. If Europe is now faced with crises in Ukraine and
Greece it is because of Merkel’s weak and indecisive leadership. http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/angela-merkel-empress-without-clothes/ri8544
Angela Merkel
was born 17 July 1954; 6:00 pm; Hamburg. Her birth chart is available at Astro-databank
[1]. Neptune (weakness) conjoins her MC (public image) so that it is not at all
difficult to understand her description given in the article above.
Currently
progressed solar arc Sun [23vi] is conjunct her Neptune-Pluto [23vi]
midpoint. Key phrases for this combination are provided by Martha Wescott:
Neptune-Pluto:
people gain power (Pluto) by capitalizing on the vulnerability or weakness
(Neptune) of others; people yield control out of weakness or failure to accept
the truth and use discrimination in matters of trust; to see human will
relinquished to a Higher Power (but is this “god”or some ogre in black boots?
Is it true surrender or “giving up” so that the driving can be left to someone else?)
Notice how these phrases apply elegantly to both
Merkel’s role in (a) Greece, where she is coming down hard on the helpless
populace already suffering from years of austerity (b) Ukraine where she is
allowing Uncle Sam to do the
driving. In Greece she is playing the
role of Shylock, the heartless moneylender (Pluto) while the Greeks are the
victims (Neptune). In Ukraine, she is the weak person (Neptune) who has
relinquished her role as an honest mediator in the crisis and surrendered to a
higher power (Pluto) ..the ogre in blacks boots is of course the US and NATO.
It should be
clear from this example that not only is the Neptune-Pluto principle common to both
the cases but that an individual can switch roles in different circumstances.
The
progressed Sun [23vi] is moving through an area defined by the stars Cor Caroli
and Benetnash. Nick Fiorenza’s account [2] of the dynamics of the stars in this area applies
perfectly to Merkel’s role in Greece and Ukraine.
Benetnasch ultimately teaches that
leadership is about facilitating the self-empowerment and freedom of others
rather than about exerting manipulative force that controls and destroys
others, mistaken as leadership and being in a position of power. In its old
form and when expressing with influence of the stars of late Leo (the tail of
the Lion, the racket of Canes Venatici and the hot air of Antilia), Benetnasch
articulates those who tend to act as manipulating and controlling godheads,
which perpetuates a dogmatic societal structure that keeps individuals from
becoming self-responsible and from evolving into their own self-mastery. It is
of leadership that dictates what is right for people and what they should do by
using dramatic and diversionary propaganda, rather than supporting others to
make their own choices in freedom. Conjoining Benetnasch and Cor Caroli is Zavijava, which
lies nearly on the ecliptic. Although a star of Virgo, Zavijava lies outside
the realm of Virgo proper, before the head of the Virgin. It does not offer the
clarity and purity of awareness common to the rest of the Virgo stars. Zavijava
is of a passive and submissive character, articulating the blind and naïve
followers of the Benetnasch directive / big business and government. These are
most often innocent naive unquestioning people who get swayed by the
diversionary dramatics of their manipulative leaders and believe in the
miss-information they are being fed. Benetnasch and Zavijava ask us to examine
and discern whether we are blindly following self-proclaimed totalitarian
authoritarian political-religious rulers and gurus and their propaganda or if
we are seeking a deeper fulfillment (southern Crateris) based in and guided by
true spiritual principles—trusting our own inner guidance.
