Eurogroup Fails To Reach Deal




When earlier today we revealed the terms of the "leaked" Eurogroup statement, which as we also reported would fail to reach a deal for a Greek Bailout #3, we said "Germany and 5 other "northern" states want Greece out, but they generously offer Greece the opportunity to push the "Grexit" button itself (especially since it is only "temporary"). Unless, of course, Greece is willing to cede all of its sovereignty to Germany in which case it can generously stay." That's pretty much what just happened when after a day-long meeting of the Eurogroup, the European FinMins were unable to reach a conclusion on the third Greek bailout and instead once again punted the revised term sheet, this time with absolutely draconian terms, back to Tsipras, and told him he has until tomorrow to agree to the terms, and until Wednesday to pass them into law, for talks to even begin!

Astrologer Barry Goddard in his blog “Why Greece will leave the Euro next week” writes:

The EU began in 1993 (that was when it changed its name as a result of the Maastricht Treaty). The astrology this week does not suggest anything earth-shattering in a 'personal' way - ie it will continue to function as before but without Greece sharing its currency. But it IS significant for its vision of itself: the EU was born under the Uranus-Neptune conjunction of the time - the planets were within 4 minutes of each other at 18-19 Capricorn. The Sun is opposing this point right now (as Pluto comes up to conjoin it), so we are seeing a significant moment. By Progression, the EU's Sun and Asc have recently entered new signs - moving from fixed to mutable signs - so an EU is being born that is less rigid about itself, less insistent perhaps that all countries follow the same rules; and more sure of itself, having survived the current crisis, and so more able to be flexible. http://astrotabletalk.blogspot.in/






If we look at the progressions in the EU chart, it appears that he may just be  right. Currently, the most important progression in this chart is solar arc MC conjunct Moon triggering the T-square containing Moon-Mars-Pluto- TNP Cupido-Saturn. This combination is about conflict in a group situation …anger and frustration at finding oneself blocked by another. And with transit Jupiter reaching the  opposition to  the apex Saturn this  does include the possibility of walking out of the group.


In addition, the  transiting Sun-Uranus square that began this past weekend is exact and separating on July 12. Uranus feeds the urge for freedom from whatever it is that enslaves. This is followed by a Mars-Uranus square which further amplifies a desire  to break free. 




Update July 13:

News is coming in of an agreement between Greece and its EU creditors. To me it doesn’t  look like a breakthrough but rather the beginning of a break down. As mentioned before the solar arc MC in the EU chart triggers the Moon-Mars-Pluto-Cupido-Saturn T-square.  The TNP Cupido is about a family or a group much like the EU. Mars-Pluto-Saturn is a harsh energy trying to obsessively control or remake the group. Pluto is about monies especially credit or debt. So the picture fits in completely with problem that EU is facing.  If we now add the asteroids Ophelia and Siwa that make hard aspects to the T-square we can interpret this as: “people have moments of rage because they feel misled or deceived and the cause of the problem is someone trying to control them”.
