Unfortunately, after the Cold War our foreign
policy veered badly off course. We failed to develop a new vision for a new
time. In fact, as time went on, our foreign policy began to make less and less
sense. Logic was replaced with foolishness and arrogance, which led to one foreign
policy disaster after another.
They just kept coming and coming. We went from
mistakes in Iraq to Egypt to Libya, to President Obama’s line in the sand in
Syria. Each of these actions have helped to throw the region into chaos and
gave ISIS the space it needs to grow and prosper. Very bad. It all began with a
dangerous idea that we could make western democracies out of countries that had
no experience or interests in becoming a western democracy.
Our foreign policy is a complete and total
disaster. No vision. No purpose. No direction. No strategy. http://goo.gl/EwKqHu
This is
the most important speech an American politician has made. What Donald Trump
essentially admits is that the hegemonic foreign policy of the USA has made no
sense since the end of the Cold War. He
made his speech in Washington, DC on April 27 just a day after the Waning
Gibbous Moon. The Moon
is conjunct stars of Ara, the Altar of
the Centaur. The mythical image here is of the Centaur placing Lupus the beast
with conscious deliberation upon the Centaur's sacrificial altar. In our
context, it would be referring to the need to give up a way of being where the
US has been behaving like a beast on a rampage!
The Centaur takes the
beast to Ara which is on the extreme right
A chart for the Moon phase at Washington DC has Mars [8sa25] on
the MC as part of a T-square also containing Saturn-Neptune-Jupiter. The last
quarter or waning Jupiter-Saturn square is about
“endgames…recognizing failure as part of the cycle”. Neptune is the
planet we associate with “dreams and wishful thinking”. Its square to Saturn implies a defeat or end
of wishful thinking. Saturn on the MC in
Sagittarius linked to adventures in foreign lands is deflating the buoyancy
of this enthusiastic sign and is the reason behind Trump’s admission that the US foreign policy is a “complete and
total disaster”.
Finally,
on the MC with Mars is the star Antares, alpha Scorpio, Heart of the Scorpion
about which Nick Fiorenza writes:
In classical
astrology, Antares is the star of war and weaponry, and with expounded meaning,
to challenge the established opposing politics (an arena common to the Antares
/ Aldebaran axis) with a tenacious willingness to fight and even destroy.
Antares demands we take responsibility for our reality, for the lives we
create, and "take a stand" for our truth, live it, and especially to
take a stand against the established conditions of our personal lives and
against the established order or authority directing our lives when those
conditions or that authority are no longer in our best interest nor supporting
our evolutionary freedom and greatest fulfillment.
