Astrology of the US-Saudi relationship





It is reported that Saudi Arabia has sent a delegation to Moscow for the purpose of once again attempting to lure Russia away from its current interests in the Middle East, and into line behind Riyadh. Indeed, if on Earth there is one nation that needs Russia the most, it might be Saudi Arabia. Conversely, however, if ever there was a nation Russia would be wise enough never to do business with, it would also be Saudi Arabia. A client-state of the British and then American empire, it has of late allowed itself to be used as an intermediary in an increasingly dangerous proxy war involving Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and to a certain extent, Lebanon, Egypt, and even Libya.

To say that Saudi Arabia is a nation in need of friends is an understatement, and Riyadh might finally have realized that Washington sees its “favorite” autocracy as it does all other client-states, expendable.  However, so sociopolitically, economically and geopolitically disfigured from its role as chief regional facilitator for Washington and London’s agenda, it may have left itself with no alternatives.







How can we as astrologers figure out which way the Saudi-US relationship is headed? Well, using the Davison relationship chart is one way to find out.  The data for the national charts are (a) Saudi Arabia; Jan 15, 1902; 3:45 am GMT; Riyadh (b) US Sibly July 4, 1776; 5:10 pm LMT; Philadelphia. Based on this data the  Davison Relationship Chart (DRC) is shown here.

What strikes us immediately is that transit Uranus is currently over the conjunction of Sun-Pluto-TNP Cupido on the IC. Key phrases[1] for the relevant combinations  seem to suggest  that the relationship is headed for a major overhaul possibly a break up.

Uranus-Pluto:  disruption in friendships.

Cupido-Pluto: the sense of  group unity and relationship goes through a radical change.
