Fifteen years after the then unknown Vladimir Putin
took over the Russian presidency, analysts still puzzle over how he arrived in
the position. Newly declassified documents from President Bill Clinton’s
administration, released to bne IntelliNews, show how Putin's candidacy was a
compromise after a fierce battle for power in Russia between pro-US oligarchs
and pro-state conservatives. At stake was not just power in Russia, but the
crucial question of Russia's relationship with the West. Russia's 'oligarchy'
took power during Yeltsin’s re-election in 1996, when they used his reliance on
funding from Russia's leading seven bankers to acquire the cream of the
country's resource-producing assets. April 14; http://www.bne.eu/content/story/rise-and-fall-russian-oligarchy
Shown here is
the chart for the current lunar eclipse of April 4 at Moscow. The
Ascendant conjoins the Sextant; the Vela
X-1 Neutron Star and the Vela Pulsar of Argo Navis; Thuban of Draco; and the
hind leg of the Great Bear.
The essence of these stars is about defining and steering our
evolutionary course with conscious consideration for the long-term
ramifications of the direction we set now in our lives. They impel us to assert
our creative force to ensure our evolutionary safety, nurturing, and
fulfillment. They also impel the distribution or delegation of power and
authority to and for the people.
Thuban of Draco, in the far northern heavens, just north of Alioth, was
Earth’s pole star circa 2600 BC, near the “tear of the Bear,” a point in
Earth’s ~25,000-year “evolutionary cycle of the soul” at which time a turning
and fractioning occurred in the hierarchical powers governing Earth. This
dramatized the separation between those choosing to fight for a greater
evolutionary vision and those wanting to maintain totalitarian control of the
Earth. [1]
Saturn [4sa]
is conjunct stars of Wild Beast Lupus. Lupus or the wolf is a symbol of evil,
greed and cruelty. The upper square from
Neptune [8pi] in compassionate Pisces brings to conscious awareness what can be referred to as a "Crisis in Consciousness" revealing through events the inappropriateness
of old forms of behavior represented by the image of the greedy wolf.
Progressing
the angles of the eclipse chart brings the Saturn-Neptune square which was
aligned with the horizon to an alignment with the meridian on April 14, the
date of the news. This is always a good test of whether the star images apply
to a situation.
In simple
terms,here the Russian oligarchy represents the greed of the wolf that the Saturn
transit is expecting Russia to overcome. Lupus the wolf is always depicted
along with the centaur. Symbolically, the centaur; half man, half horse
represents the complete domination by baser influences, instincts, the
unconscious uncontrolled by the spirit. The man-beast combination illustrates
the conflict between man’s lower animal nature merged with his higher nature of
human virtue and judgement, the struggle between the savage and the benign. In star
images the centaur is shown carrying a spear that impales a wolf. The wolf –
a despoiler of flocks, rapacious, cruel, crafty and bloodthirsty – has long
been a symbol of evil. In Christian art, animals impaled on lances often allude
to vices that must be overcome. A lance exemplifies valor, virtue, war, power,
strength and victory over evil.
