Possible Breakthrough in Russia-Japan Relations



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.

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.
