As
crises build up around her, Angela Merkel sends Putin "particularly warm
greetings" and prepares a trip to Moscow. German Chancellor Angela Merkel,
facing a possibly difficult election in Germany later this year, is traveling
to Moscow on 2nd May 2017. Merkel has been a regular visitor to Moscow, and
speaks with Russian President Putin on the telephone more often than any other
EU leader. However their relationship hit rock bottom when the Ukrainian crisis
exploded in 2014, and has been fraught ever since. Suffice to say that the last occasion when
Merkel visited Moscow was in the fraught run-up to the Minsk Agreement in
February 2015. When German SPD leader and Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel and
Bavarian Minister-President and CSU leader Horst Seehofer, visited Moscow in
October 2015 and February 2016, she made little attempt to hide her
disapproval. This time the mood is completely different. Not only is Merkel
herself going to Moscow, but her journey there has been well prepared in
advance by the same duo of Gabriel and Seehofer who earned her displeasure by
going to Moscow in October 2015 and February 2016. March 17, https://www.sott.net/article/345563-A-Russian-German-thaw-Merkel-heads-for-Moscow
Venus retrograde is an ideal time for introspection, to
reassess our values and desires. The area of sidereal Pisces that Venus
retrogrades through is about psychic, emotional and genetic energetic currents
we carry from the past, those inherited
or assumed. Thus, this retrograde period provides opportunity to reassess those
that are of value and those that keep us bound, entrapped and in turbulence and
therefore those we need to relinquish.
Erin Sullivan adds that the station-retrograde begins a time
of global review. We can see how it manifests in the collective by watching the
news in regard to diplomatic and international relations. This news comes to us
as we head towards the midpoint of the Venus retrograde cycle which began on
March 4. At the midpoint of the cycle retrograde
Venus conjoins the Sun. A chart for this mundane event can give us clues about
the essence of this cycle for any particular place. Notice that at Berlin, the
chart has the now familiar Uranus-Jupiter-Pluto T-square straddling the horizon
axis. This T-square promises a change in the old order if we are willing to
meet others half-way (Jupiter in Libra) [1].
But perhaps adding greater clarity is the star Castor, alpha Geminorum
on the Ascendant. Castor and Pollux were the determinant stars of the Indian
Lunar Mansion Punarvasu “The two who are Good (or Prosperous) Again”. Volguine
has “Brothers Returned” (reunited?). The
image above of the two brothers hugging each other sums up this area.
