The glowing orb stunt should have been a sign that
all was not what it seems. Theatrics, in the world of politics, usually suggest
an illusion needs to be spun for audiences somewhere. A week after US President Donald Trump's
eyesore of a visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the pressing question now is
"why?" What was the purpose of convening leaders and representatives
of 55 Arab and Muslim nations to greet a US head of state amidst so much pomp,
ceremony and an excruciating amount of flashing cameras? The Riyadh summit had
several goals, most of which specifically served Saudi and American political
interests. After the summit, Riyadh would go on to unilaterally craft a
declaration, unseen and unapproved by the VIP guests, that claimed to outline
the gathering's foreign policy priorities.
This generous give-and-take between the Saudis and
Americans took place on the day of the summit, amidst much back-slapping. Then,
a few days later, the fallout began. This past week, a flurry of media
headlines alerted us to the first fissure between summit participants. News
reports began emerging that Qatari leader Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani had
deviated from the Saudi talking points by supporting engagement with Iran and
defending resistance groups Hezbollah and Hamas. June 1 https://www.sott.net/article/352670-After-Riyadh-summit-Sunni-unity-crumbling
The 2017 Riyadh summit
was held on 20–21 May 2017 on the occasion of the visit of United States
President Donald Trump to Saudi Arabia, his first trip overseas. To understand
the cosmic reason behind the news analysis, I take readers back to the solar
eclipse of September 1, 2016. Writing about this eclipse in his blog post
entitled New Directions [1], Nick Fiorenza states:
This New Moon eclipse lies in the midst of the stars Thuban
of Draco, Alioth of the Great Bear and the stars of the Sextant, and Suhail
Velorum of Argo Navis and forms a T-square with Saturn-Neptune.
This area dramatizes
the separation between those choosing to fight for a greater
evolutionary vision and those wanting to maintain totalitarian control of the
Earth.
The Saturn-Neptune square is a waning square in a cycle that
began 28 years ago. The July 18, 1989 Saturn-Neptune synod occurred in (sidereal)
mid-Sagittarius, slightly further from the Saturn-Uranus synod. Conjoining
stars include Nunki and Phi Sagittarius.
In general, a Saturn-Neptune cycle is about
the structuring of, as well as constrictions about, society's ideologies and
sociopolitical orders. In the sociopolitical arena, Saturn-Neptune cycles are
about the ebb and flow of more conservative, controlling and authoritarian
ideals, although this specific cycle was also influenced by the
Saturn-Uranus synthesis as well, adding a rebellious progressive element to
create change in conservative currents and authoritarian political orders.
This Sagittarian influence upon the
Saturn-Neptune synod brought inspiration to elevate our ideologies and the
forms of their expression to align with a greater truth, one supporting greater
personal freedom and impelling us to seek a more unified awareness. It also
inspires us to become more allowing. The Sagittarian energetic impels us to
seek freedom from society's rules and regulations, to become one's own master,
which is somewhat paradoxical to the nature of Saturn's stronghold in its
attempt to control and restrict. Thus we experience an inner restrictive
tension to break free from our own beliefs and inherited or assumed ideologies.

Let us now progress the eclipse chart to June 1, the date of
the news. Notice the eclipse T-square is just beginning to move out of its alignment
with the horizon axis (exact on May 28) by which movement it has been
triggered. Applying the above extract to the Saudi situation, readers may be
able to relate it to the Saudi desperation to control the Sunni Muslim. Despite
all the stunts and illusions (Neptune) conjured at the summit, Saudi control over
the Sunni nations is slipping away. The square from Saturn is ripping away the
illusions.
