Putin makes Syrian peace possible



Noah and rainbow


The Russians are working hard to consolidate their diplomatic gains following the US Russian Joint Statement on Syria. To get a sense of the furious pace of their diplomacy, consider that Putin spoke to Obama on the telephone on 22nd February 2016 and - according to his website - to Qatari Emir Tamim Al Thani on the same day, whilst today (24th February 2016) he has spoken on the telephone in rapid succession to Syrian President Assad, Saudi King Salman (who is due to visit Moscow in a few weeks), Iranian President Rouhani and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/putins-frenetic-day-syrian-diplomacy/ri13030







On 22nd February 2016 when Putin spoke to Obama about the peace plan in Syria,  the Sun was forming a sharp semi-square aspect to Uranus.  A chart for the mundane event at Damascus is shown here.  Notice that a Grand Cross straddles the meridian. The elements of the Grand Cross and the interaction between them are very revealing.

Mars [25sc] on the MC is conjunct the stars Al Rakis, mu Draconis, kappa Centauri, gamma Librae,  beta Lupi of the Wild Beast Lupus; kappa Herculis and mu Serpentis. About this area Diana Rosenberg writes:

Given their  proximity  to these wild sky-creatures, Libra’s scales-of-the-law have a hard time keeping order and balance, and sometimes they lose the struggle, reverting to their ancient role as the extended claws of the Scorpion: murderers, mass killers and criminals are found under these stars (Lupus was  “The Beast of Death” and Manilius associated strong man Hercules with possible craftiness, deceit, desertion, terrorism and street thuggery)..[ doesn’t this aptly describe the Syrian militia]. Serpents, however, because of their ability to shed their skins and grow new ones, are known for their power of regeneration and change and these stars offer great potential for reform, renewal, even beneficence [the news is that many of the Syrian militia are willing to come for the peace talks]. Here the healing Serpent, together with the celestial Scales of Justice, the right hand of Centaurus (which impales the Wild Beast) and strong right arm of Hercules offer strength, will power and a determination to seek justice and right wrongs. 

Sun [3pi] and Neptune [9pi] are conjunct stars of the humanitarian Water Pourer. Here the ever cleansing Waters of Aquarius, combine with his predecessor Gula, a goddess of medicine, heal and renew bodies, minds and souls troubled by conflict. As with the Russian peace plan, actions that promote peace are one of the outcomes.

The TNP Admetus [29ta] on the IC is conjunct the Pleaides cluster and stars of Eridanus. The Pleaides are linked to “sorrow and weeping” while Eridanus, the Great River, washes away the tears of the past, clearing the way for a bright new future.

The Sabian symbol of the Moon [26le]  is very apt in the present context.

Phase 146: After a heavy storm, as light breaks through the clouds, a perfect rainbow forms.

In the Bible, the rainbow is a sign of the Covenant established by God with Noah guaranteeing that no longer shall the destructive power of the Spirit be used to destroy life on earth.
