The US
military will hand over 9,909 acres (4,000 hectares) of Okinawan land to Japan
on Thursday in what's been lauded as the largest return of US-occupied land
since 1972. But there's a catch.
As
part of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the two
countries, the United States is granted the right to certain defense
facilities. In exchange for the land, the Japanese government built several new
helipads for the US military to use on its southernmost island of Okinawa.
Yet
the handover has done little to assuage the ire of activists, who've campaigned
for decades, to remove US bases altogether from Okinawa. Dec.22
The September 1 solar eclipse fell in the 7th
house at the US military facility Camp Gonsalves, Okinawa. In mundane astrology
the 7th house rules the following.
7th House - foreign relations, treaties and/or disputes,
business relationships, agreements. This
house rules our relations with other societies or nations or organizations. http://www.aquasoul.com/Mundane_Astrology.html
The following is an edited summary of Nick Fiorenza’s blog
post on the solar eclipse entitled New
Directions which sums up the energy of
this eclipse.
This New Moon eclipse
lies in the midst of the stars of Leo and under the auspices of Thuban of Draco
and Alioth of the Great Bear. Thuban of Draco refers to tyrannical leaders.
Alignments with Alioth teach us that responsible use of free will can alter our
destiny. Alioth stimulates the use of personal will and our need to initiate
personal action to free ourselves from authoritarian rulers. This area is about
the separation between those choosing to fight for a greater evolutionary
vision and those wanting to maintain totalitarian control of the Earth.
And about the star
Antares, which conjoins Mars-Saturn on the MC, Nick Fiorenza writes that this
star is about “taking a stand against
the established conditions of our personal lives and against the established
order or authority directing our lives when those conditions or that authority
are no longer in our best interest nor supporting our evolutionary freedom and
fulfillment”.
In order to compare how this eclipse energy has been working
in world events, readers may like to refer to two previous posts [1][2] to see
the essential similarity.
If we now progress the eclipse chart to Dec.22, the date of
the handover, the progressed MC conjoins Uranus triggering the eclipse to which
it is anchored. Uranus at 24 Aries is in area where chained Andromeda’s patience help her triumph
over her adversities.
