Stars bring major changes in US defence strategy

WASHINGTON, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel (born October 4, 1946) will propose on Monday a reduction in the size of the U.S. Army to its smallest size since before World War Two and scrapping a class of Air Force attack jets, the New York Times reported on Sunday. The plans, which the paper said were outlined by several Pentagon officials on condition of anonymity, would be aimed at reducing defense spending in the face of government austerity after a pledge by President Barack Obama to end U.S. involvement in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The current precessed solar return for the Sibly has on the Ascendant [28vi52] the star Benatnash of Ursa Major linked to war and Zavijava of the Virgin linked to peace. In ancient China these stars represented Kuan-Ti, a military hero who was both the God of War and of Averting War.  The progressed solar return chart for Feb. 24 is shown here. Notice the alignments to the meridian axis. If Pluto-Uranus is about transformation or an end to an old way of doing things and the TNP Zeus is about  the military  then putting the two together we know exactly what this combination is saying. On the IC of the progressed chart is Vindemiatrix, epsilon Virginis also conjunct Chuck Hagel’s radix Sun [11li]. Since the constellation of the Virgin is associated with peace, Diana Rosenberg writing about stars in this area says, “for those in positions of power, their task is to turn war and hatred into peace and co-operation…transits to these stars often bring about major changes in laws, mores, governments and ways of thinking”.
