Turkey shoots down Russian military jet



Turkey has shot down a Russian military jet which it says violated its airspace near the Syrian border.A military official, quoted by Turkey's Dogan news agency, said the plane was shot down by Turkish F16s, and that the pilots were given repeated prior warning.Video posted by the Haberturk TV station appeared to show the jet coming down in flames, while separate footage showed two pilots parachuting to safety within hostile Syrian territory. Their fate remains unknown.  Nov. 24 http://goo.gl/SOGdLy






The mundane horoscope of Turkey is based on the proclamation of the Turkish Republic which took place on October 29, 1923, 8:30 pm EET, Ankara (32e52, 39n56). Notice that  Pluto is placed very prominently on the Ascendant and the chart is going through a  long term Plutonian opposition which activates the radix Mars-Pluto square, a  tense, explosive energy. This radix combination has the reputation for being singularly ruthless and fiercely competitive.  There is a compulsive need to exercise power and win. As always Pluto tends to bury the planetary principles it touches. When coupled with Mars, the burial is of rage which surfaces when triggered by appropriate transits. Acting as one such trigger, on  Nov.24 transit Mars conjoins it radix position triggering the long term Pluto opposition.
The following  reference describes the nature of the energy involved.

Mars Square Natal Pluto
A jolting and somewhat obstinate transit. Ambition and the need for power is being activated. Others may be stronger now . If you should choose to confront them  know what you are up against and be prepared. Increased chances of danger through crowds of people, mass hysteria, fire arms, heavy machinery and radioactive substances. http://www.planetaryvisions.net/mars%20s%20pluto.html


Finally, we also notice that the asteroid Ophelia [3cp] is conjunct the Ascendant and square Mars. Martha Wescott’s definition of  Ophelia clears the picture completely.
