Russia bans agricultural imports from US and EU

Russia is imposing a "full embargo" on food imports from the EU, US and some other Western countries, in response to sanctions over Ukraine. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said it would include fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk and dairy imports.

Australia, Canada and Norway are also affected. BBC ; August 6. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28680656

In this post we will see once again how an eclipse, whose influence by normal rules, would be considered to be over can become activated by a  progression of the angles.

Shown here is the chart for the last Lunar Eclipse. It is obviously very significant for Moscow since it squares the horizon axis.

The Full Moon eclipse conjoins the stars Archturus and Spica. Archturus is the administrative seat responsible for the safe evolutionary unfoldment and ascension of Earth and humanity—supporting the pure birth and a healthy and harmonious incarnate life of the soul. Archturus embodies the essence or seed of Boötes (the adom of man), and is the provider for and protector of the Virgin (Divine Feminine) principle, and Mother Earth. Nekkar, Beta Boötes, the head / intelligence of Boötes, lies north of and conjoins Archturus. Nekkar impels wise leadership from spiritual wisdom.

As the sheaf of wheat in Virgin’s right hand, Spica articulates that which is produced or offered. This is bounty and prosperity, that produced by a healthy crop, and this applies agriculturally and well as biologically—not that there is a separation, but a synergy. [1]

The Lunar Eclipse occurred just into sidereal Libra conjoining Ceres and Vesta opposite the Sun-Juno-Eris conjunction. Notice also the Vesta-Ceres-Moon conjunction nesting between Mars and the North Lunar Node, creating one entire energetic directly in opposition to the entire stellium of planets including the Sun-Juno-Eris conjunction and the Mercury-Uranus conjunction.

Juno conjoined Eris on April 13. Eris named after the Goddess of strife is the Great Disruptor, overturning our current perception, but with purpose, so we may expand and redefine our perceptual view of the reality in which we live. [1]

Potential Juno issues can manifest as  power struggles or control issues, and a variety of other inequality issues in relationships between partners. [1]

Ceres, the mother of the main asteroids, was the goddess of food. She brings awareness to how we nurture and to that which is truly nurturing to us. Ceres embodies mothering and agricultural qualities and brings attention to our relation with the Earth, the land, agriculture, and the fruits of agriculture (see image above).[1]

Vesta is about sacrifice of personal needs in order to dedicate oneself to goals that are beyond the personal. Vesta can provide an anchor or a point of stability in a life that is otherwise given to fragmentation because of being overly dependent on others.

I leave it to readers to connect the dots to see the relevance of the interaction of these asteroids in the news item above.

Progressing the eclipse chart to August 6, the date of the news item,  brings the Grand Cross containing Uranus-Pluto (with Ceres-Vesta) to the angles. Martha Wescott’s delineation of this combination completes the picture.
