Saudi-Israeli alliance in panic mode



Clearly the war in Syria and the international push for regime change against Assad has created strange alliances in the Middle East over the past few years. Among the strangest bedfellows are the Israelis and Saudis. It's no secret that common cause in Syria of late has led the historic bitter enemies down a pragmatic path of unspoken cooperation as both seem to have placed the break up of the so-called "Shia crescent" as their primary policy goal in the region. But that's perhaps why few pundits seemed overly shocked when Israeli media late last week began reporting that a Saudi prince made a secret visit to Israel, in spite of the fact that the kingdom does not recognize the Jewish state, and the two sides do not have diplomatic relations.

How can we as astrologers figure out what is bothering the Saudis and Israelis at this time? Well, using the Davison relationship chart is one way to find out.

What is a Davison relationship chart?
The Davison relationship chart [DRC] was named for Ronald C. Davison (1914-1985), author and president of the Astrological Lodge of the Theosophical Society of London.  The date and time can be determined by calculating the day that lies exactly between the natal charts of those involved. The same principle is also applied to the times of birth. If the individuals involved have different places of birth a combined "place of birth" is calculated by taking the average values of latitude and longitude.
Even if the combined place of birth is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the DRC is still a concrete horoscope for a specific time, place, and location which can, like any natal chart, be used as a basis to calculate solar return charts, progressions and the effect of transits. http://wiki.astro.com/astrowiki/en/Davison_Relationship_Chart


 The data for the national charts are (a) Saudi Arabia; 22 Sept. 1932 5:56 pm LMT; Riyadh (b) Israel 14 May 1948; 4:37 pm EET, Tel Aviv. Based on this data the  Davison Relationship Chart (DRC) is shown here.

The current primary (Van Dam) direction for the DRC is  directed Saturn conjunct radix Sun.  The radix Sun is part of a T-square with the TNP Hades, the Moon and the asteroids Ophelia and Pandora. Martha Wescott [1] provides the following definition and delineation.

OPHELIA: A point of over-reaction and counterproductive reactions.
PANDORA: Encountering unexpected consequences; getting “more than you bargained for.”
HADES: debilitation or deterioration; “messy” situations.

Pandora-Hades-Ophelia: People are overreacting because a situation has deteriorated or become “messy”. They encountered unexpected consequences  or got “more than they bargained for”.

The Primary direction is like the “hour” hand of the clock. For the “minute” hand we have transit Saturn squaring radix Neptune [23vi]. This square brings disillusionment when Neptune’s fancy schemes meet Saturn’s brick wall of reality.
