The
frictions excited by the antics of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte have
caused even greater heat over the last few days, with calls for the departure
of US special forces operating in Mindanao. Having already made it clear to
Washington that he intends pursuing “an independent foreign policy,” he has now
insisted that the general root of ills in instability lie in the troublesome,
headache-causing alliance with the United States. A continuing problem of that
alliance remained US forces in Zamboanga on the island of Mindanao, ostensibly
engaged in advising local troops on counter-terrorism operations. “For as long as we stay with America, we will
never have peace in that land [Mindanao].
We might as well give it up.” It
was therefore imperative that “those [American] special forces, they have to
go.” He did not want “a rift with the
US, but they have to go.” September 14th, 2016 http://dissidentvoice.org/2016/09/dutertes-power-play-rocking-the-us-philippines-alliance/
To understand why Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is
breaking away from the US we will look at the chart for the September 1 solar
eclipse at Manila, Philippines. A Mars-Saturn conjunction in the 10th
house shows a leader who is being defiant. Incidentally, Duterte is an Aries
(born 28 March 1945) and therefore ruled by Mars. The sign Aries is known for aggression and plain speaking. Here Mars [14sa] is conjunct the star delta
(δ) Hercules, Sarin in the constellation of Hercules, the strong man (see image)
while Saturn [10sa] is conjunct the star Antares, alpha (α) Scorpius. About Antares Nick Fiorenza writes:
Antares is the heart
of the Scorpion. 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 tenacious
adamancy. This is especially in regard to taking 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
fulfillment.
So it should be no surprise that “strongman” Duterte is no
longer willing to toe the US line. The eclipse has fallen on Philippines’ radix
Mars [7vi] in its first house [1]. Does the US deserve this? The answer can be
seen in the US Sibly. The eclipse [9vi] squares Sibly Uranus [8ge] in the 7th
house of allies and treaties. Uranus is the planet of the rebel so former
allies are rebelling…remember Turkey did that too!
Now here comes the interesting part. We can actually spot
the very day (Sept.13) President Rodrigo
Duterte’s makes this announcement . If we progress the chart to September 13,
the MC conjoins Saturn and the star Antares on that day.
