Turkey-US relations at breaking point?








Strained relations between Turkey and the US seem to have reached a critical point. Ankara is seeking clarity from the US, threatening to ‘break’ ties. Washington meanwhile continues to hide behind vague statements. US actions are the reason for the “missing trust” between the two NATO allies, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told journalists on Monday. He went on to say Ankara expects “concrete steps” from Washington, aimed at mending ties that have almost reached the point of no return.

For any country, the foundation of successful diplomacy is a reputation for credibility and reliability. Governments are wary of concluding agreements with a negotiating partner that violates existing commitments and has a record of duplicity. Successive U.S. administrations have ignored that principle, and their actions have backfired majorly, damaging American foreign policy in the process.  I believe that  the astrological reason behind this  be seen in the US Sibly.

The Synastry Chart is the combination of two individuals Birth (or Natal) Charts overlayed on one another to give insight into the dynamics of their relationship. More information about the interaction between the individuals  can be obtained for a given period by comparing how the progressed angles and planets of one person interact with the radix of the other. The Table shows how the progressed MC for Turkey aspects the planets in the US Sibly.

In mundane astrology, the First House refers to  “the country and its inhabitants as a whole”  while the Seventh House shows how that nation deals with other nations.  It is because of this that “treaties and agreements with other nations” comes under the 7th. The US Sibly has Mars [21ge22] in the 7th house conjunct the star Saiph, Kappa (κ) Orion – the constellation of the Hunter or Warrior. Mars is square Neptune [22vi25] which is conjunct the stars Cor Caroli [21vi26] and  Alkaid [23vi46] but also influenced by Denebola [18vi30] and other stars in the tail of the Lion. About this area, Nick Fiorenza writes:

This area of the zodiac is about our motive, that which is behind and driving our creative expressions. Denebola is among  a triangle of stars that form the hind of the Lion. Denbola is the tail. This area of late Leo is of foul breezes and smoke screens. It is also of those behind the scenes, of political-religious figureheads manipulating the affairs of the world for personal motive while offering salvation from the human struggle.  It is also of global-level grand spectacle, often time of a diversionary nature created by world powers with hidden agenda.


From the table above we notice that currently Turkey’s progressed MC conjoins the Sibly Mars and squares its Neptune. With this input, it should become perfectly clear why Turkey no longer trusts the US and is likely to break away from any partnership.
