  Attached table from Solar Fire gives Iran’s directed draconic solar arc Sun’s aspects to elements of Israel’s chart (progressed synastry). Martha Wescott advises not to focus on an exact date but to try and see the process unfolding using an orb of about 10 degrees.   The primary aspect is Iran’s directed draconic solar arc Sun’s conjunction to Israel’s natal Neptune. The other elements are asteroids are “Siwa-Pandora-Atropos-Diana”   Martha Wescott provides the following interpretations.   Pandora/Siwa Crisis situations that involve Asia or the Middle East (and people from those areas) will occur, but I think there will be concern about upsets that catch people off-guard in connection with those countries too. As well, I think that expressions of anger will sometimes be "unexpected" or bring consequences for which one was unprepared.   Neptune/Siwa  Part of the PURPOSE of recent and current events and circumstances is to upend concepts...

    Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, has reportedly been secretly advising Donald Trump to continue striking Iran hard, despite Riyadh’s public calls for restraint, according to The New York Times. Officials cited in the report say the Saudi leader has privately encouraged stronger military pressure on Iran, while the kingdom publicly promotes de-escalation and diplomacy.   https://x.com/TodaysNewsco/status/2033445146965012732     In the horoscope of Saudi Arabia [23 Sep 1932; 12:01 LMT; Riyadh] the natal Sun is at [0li06]. The Solar Eclipse of 21 Sep 2025 [29vi05] (opposite Saturn [28pi27] - Neptune [0ar48]) fell within a degree of Saudi Sun.

  The astrological configuration in the Sibly chart (USA's founding chart, often used for mundane/national interpretations) is highly charged right now, around March 15, 2026. The solar arc directed Sun at ~21° Pisces and directed Saturn at ~22° Gemini form a T-square with the radical Mars at 21° Gemini 22' and radical Neptune at 22° Virgo 25'. This is tightly activated by the transiting Sun moving through 21°-22° Pisces in recent days, illuminating and triggering the pattern. Radix Mars-Neptune square (7th house Mars in Gemini opposing/ squaring into 9th/10th house Neptune vibes) classically points to confusion, deception, illusions, or weakness in foreign affairs (9th), military/enemies/open conflict (7th Mars), idealism vs. reality in actions, or "fog of war" scenarios—dissolution of martial energy, misguided aggression, or hidden/ subversive enemies.   Directed Saturn adding to this brings a sobering, karmic reality check—limitations, consequences, authority...

    “Neptune is the God principle and the creative Muse--that elusive thing we call magic. This profound energy is deeply embedded in the human heart, which flees from the ordinary, and seeks to dream. Neptune is, therefore, connected to “mirages” or appearances that belie reality”.       Dubai, the city of clean, safe streets, discreet banks, abundant air travel options and red carpets rolled out for the rich, is watching its reputation unravel under the weight of foreign military ambitions. The most populous city of the United Arab Emirates is paying the price of the US-Israeli war on Iran, along with the rest of the Middle East. The attackers want Tehran’s government toppled. The defenders hope to make that goal so costly even the Americans can’t afford it. Meanwhile, Arab nations that welcomed US military bases for their own security are seeing the limits of that protection – and expats living in Dubai have been among the hardest hit, at least emotio...

  A new Gallup poll finds that 29% of Americans now say government itself is the country’s biggest problem. That’s a higher percentage than people who think America’s biggest problem is the economy. Or immigration. Or inflation. Think about that for a moment. The institution whose entire job is to solve problems has become, in the eyes of the public, the single biggest problem of all. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/29-americans-have-finally-figured-out-problem-71-go       The February 17, 2026, solar eclipse (a New Moon eclipse) at approximately 28° Aquarius conjuncts the Sibly chart's Moon at 27°10' Aquarius very closely—within about 1° orb, which is highly significant in mundane astrology. This tight conjunction to the USA's natal Moon strongly activates themes tied to the people, the general populace, public mood, emotional undercurrents, and collective sentiment.In mundane astrology, the Moon rules the common people (often emphasizing the masses, public ...

        In a huge battlefield development and significant first and setback for US forces operating against Iran, a large American military aerial refueling tanker has gone down over Western Iraq, where it was operating in connection with Operation Epic Fury. CENTCOM says there's a rescue effort ongoing, amid likely casualties. In an official statement it said: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/two-more-tankers-hit-bringing-total-six-ships-oil-tops-100-after-trump-declares-we-won     In mundane astrology (the branch dealing with nations, large-scale events, governments, and collective phenomena like wars or national crises), house meanings are well-established across classical, modern, and traditional sources, though with some variations depending on the astrologer or tradition (e.g., Raphael, Charles Carter, or more contemporary interpreters).   The 9th house primarily rules long-distance travel and communications, including international...
