Some analysts believe that Moscow has been trying
to weaken Europe’s standing in Asia, its “target” being Japan. Russian-Japanese
relations are complicated. The unsettled territorial dispute over the Kuril
Islands is hampering rapprochement that would make sense, considering both
nations’ economic complementarity and the rise of China. The current situation looks good for a
diplomatic breakthrough that could turn into a tectonic shift in Northeast
Asia. There are at least three reasons why the Kremlin would be tempted to
choose this policy: a desire to win over a key member of the Western community,
which would deliver a blow to US prestige; the hidden but very real fear that
the rapprochement with China is moving too fast and could go too far; and
lastly, the opportunity to attract large Japanese investments to Siberia and
other Russian regions. March 26; http://russia-insider.com/en/2015/03/26/5030
Eclipse lunar
cycles are ideal times to set new six-month goals to create personal change in
our lives, not necessarily on the solar or lunar eclipse, but based upon the
realizations we have throughout the eclipse lunar cycles [1]. The news of a
possible Russia-Japan rapprochement comes at the Crescent Moon, a chart for
which is shown here at the midpoint between Moscow and Tokyo. Notice that the
Crescent Moon is placed on the descendant and therefore significant. The
eclipse conjoins Ruchbah of Cassiopeia; Epsilon of Eridanus; and Delta Caelum.
About this area Nick Fiorenza writes [2]:
Ruchbah,
Delta Cassiopeia, the knee of Queen Cassiopeia, is a star of transformation--a
process often occurring in a bit of initiatory fire. Ruchbah inspires
transformation of our pride and arrogance--our attitudes. Something is
rightfully ours, but any righteous attitudes that we deserve it, energetically
keep away the very thing we want. Our righteous attitudes keep us naive to, and
thus entrapped in diversionary lower-order psychic forces that trip us up,
perpetuate repetitive scenarios, and keep us from claiming our greater
fulfillment in life. Ruchbah reveals that the attitudes we hold must die in
order to have that which is truly ours. Conjoining Quasar 3C66A in Andromeda
can manifest as entrapping scenarios that help us realize it is our inner
righteous attitudes that are of issue and that must transform before we find
our true freedom and happiness along the winding path of life.
The
stars of Caelum, the sculptor’s chisel suggest that the sculpting of our lives
is a creative process, chiseled away at a bit at a time--as a sculptor chisels
away the rock or marble to reveal the beauty waiting to emerge. Epsilon of
Eridanus, conjoining Delta Caelum, reveals a need to create an opening or
doorway; to make simple that which may seem difficult. Their conjunction with
Ruchbah reveals the need to first relinquish any attitudes that we deserve
something (generally a status in life) that is rightfully yours, in order for
it to manifest--generally occurring with ease after such surrender.
Jupiter
[12le] which squares the Crescent Moon conjoins Acubens, alpha Cancer of the
Crab.
Acubens
can also articulate our entrapment in dogma. This can be the current political
/ religious beliefs of the times, as well as that created by our personal
belief structures—the ideas we have about our lives and experiences we have in
our lives—generally inherited. Acubens indicates a tenacious hold and stubborn
resistance to release the patterns we hold that keep us entrapped in our
limiting life scenarios [3].
The above
extract is self-explanatory in the context of the Russia-Japan move towards
solving long term problems.
