Eclipse renews US – Iran relationship

Phoenix bird – a symbol of renewal

US Secretary of State John Kerry has met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for talks on Iran's nuclear programme. Both sides declared their satisfaction with the meeting and agreed to hold substantive talks on the issue in Switzerland, beginning on 15 October. The BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen reports from from the United Nations in New York. 

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.

Having understood what a Davison relationship chart is,  here we will  look at  the Iran-US relationship . Shown above is the DRC for Iran [1 Feb 79; 9:00 am IT, Tehran] and the US Sibly [4 Jul 1776; 17:14 LMT, Philadelphia]. The following points come to attention immediately. 

The upcoming lunar eclipse [25ar] falls opposite the composite Sun [25li18]. The eclipse is conjunct the star Acamar, theta Eridani often shown as a dam in the river of life. Since eclipses are known to end old chapters  and begin new ones, it appears appropriate that this eclipse is hinting at the need for an end to the stalemate in the US-Iran relationship. The Sabian symbol for the composite Sun “An Eagle and white Dove quickly change into each other” says it all. 

The directed solar arc Sun [13pi] is forming a conjunction to Moon [13pi] and Saturn [14pi]. All these are conjunct the stars Achernar [14pi] and Phoenix [14pi]. Diana Rosenberg writing about these stars says:

Endings and new beginnings…pushing boundaries, solving problems and altering mankind’s view of the world, freeing humankind from outdated illusions and outmoded conventions of thought…the ever-regenerating Phoenix offers renewal and healing….history and paradigm altering events; peace treaties. 

The radix Sun [25li18] is in a sharp quincunx aspect to Pluto [25ta04] which is conjunct the star Algol [24ta28].  The star Algol [26ta22] that has been historically prominent in atomic explosions [1]

Finally, the lunar eclipse chart at the midpoint between Tehran and Washington completes the picture. In a strange coincidence the eclipse occurs on 18 October, which is the  composite radix date [18 Oct 1877]. Then we notice that the eclipse is placed prominently square the horizon axis with the Ascendant  conjunct Jupiter [19cn] which itself is conjunct Castor, alpha Gemini part of  the Indian lunar  mansion Punarvasu [“The two who are reunited or good again”]. This mansion is also called the “the star of renewal” and “the return of the light”.
