Rex Tillerson and Xi Jinping Emphasize Cooperation







BEIJING — Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson and President Xi Jinping of China cast aside their differences on Sunday with a public display of cooperation, sidestepping areas of disagreement even as North Korea made another defiant statement by showing off a new missile engine. In the highest-level face-to-face meeting between the United States and China since President Trump took office, the two sides made no mention of other contentious issues, including possible punitive trade measures against China and Washington’s unhappiness with Beijing’s assertiveness in the South China Sea.

Readers are aware that we are currently in the midst of   (a)  a Venus retrograde cycle (b) an  eclipse lunar cycle and. The following extract  from a previous post [1] is relevant here:

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.







A chart for the February 26 solar eclipse drawn for the midpoint between Beijing and Washington DC is shown here. Notice that it has the Jupiter-Uranus-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 Descendant. 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 implies co-operation.
