Saudi Arabia has executed the prominent Shia cleric
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, the interior ministry said. He was among 47 people put to
death after being convicted of terrorism offences, it said in a statement.Sheikh
Nimr was a vocal supporter of the mass anti-government protests that erupted in
Eastern Province in 2011, where a Shia majority have long complained of
marginalisation. Shia-lead Iran said Saudi Arabia would pay a "high
price" for the execution. A foreign ministry spokesman said Riyadh
"supports terrorists... while executing and suppressing critics inside the
country". Iran is the main regional rival of Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35213244
The cosmos speaks to us in the strange language of
symbols that can best be understood as “fractals” or self-similar systems. Understanding
the world around us depends on our power to perceive these patterns of meaning that may not be possible without an
understanding of astrological symbols. As the Sun approaches a conjunction with
Pluto we are beginning to see events that at first sight appear to have nothing
whatever to do with each other but when examined deeply can be shown to be
intimately connected.
As the Sun
conjoins Pluto it triggers the Uranus-Pluto square. In the last post we saw
that this configuration was on the MC in China where an earthquake was
reported. In this post we see that the same combination straddles the horizon
axis at Riyadh. If earthquakes are the result of the sudden release of stresses in the Earth's crust so also
symbolically the execution of a rebel by authorities is an attempt to release stresses
threatening the social order.
Among
other things the Uranus-Pluto square
represents the tyrannical actions of institutional
structures facing threats to their authority (Pluto in Capricorn)by the courageous/warrior-like
actions of individuals on behalf of the people's liberties (Uranus in Aries). The Plutonian process involves increasing
extremes followed by collapse. Some institutions may change along the way, so that no collapse is
seen, while others like the archaic Saudi Arabian monarchy which refuses reform
is setting itself up for complete breakdown.
