The UK
is pushing G7 countries to collectively impose new sanctions on Russia if it
does not cut ties with Bashar al-Assad amid the ongoing conflict in Syria. UK
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson wants “very punitive sanctions” for the
chemical attack. A paper on sanctions has been prepared for a G7 meeting which
begins in Italy on Monday. April 10 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/britain-new-sanctions-vladimir-putin-bashar-al-assad-boris-johnson-donald-trump-a7675761.html
Quite often it is possible to understand the essential
principle driving a major event if we can identify a mundane chart that is
active on the day of the event. The G7 meeting at Lucca, Italy is best
understood through the lens of the solar
eclipse of September 2016. A chart for the eclipse has the prominent T-square
anchored through hard aspects to the horizon axis at Lucca.
The solar eclipse fell on the stars Thuban of Draco and
Alioth of the Great Bear. Draco, the Dragon is a fierce creature that links to authoritarian control while the Great Bear (*) is a caring and nurturing force. In his blogpost on the eclipse lunar cycle entitled “New
Directions” Nick Fiorenza writes:
Thuban
of Draco, in the far northern heavens, just north of Alioth of the Great Bear,
was Earth’s pole star circa 2800 BCE, a point in Earth’s ~25,000-year
“evolutionary cycle of the soul” at which time a turning and fractioning occurred
in the hierarchical powers governing Earth. This dramatized the separation
between those choosing to fight for a greater evolutionary vision and those
wanting to maintain totalitarian control of the Earth. Alignments
with Thuban can imply responsibility for having directed the evolutionary
affairs of life on Earth during that period with repercussions incurred at soul
level, and with responsibility to ensure evolutionary fulfillment now.
This
New Moon eclipse and lunar cycle is about personal and global leadership,
transcendent evolutionary currents, and the use of personal will to direct our
evolutionary course with impetus to reassess changing conditions and to change
our tack in life accordingly to reach our desired destinations.
This
New Moon, on the North Lunar Node, lies opposite retrograde Neptune on the
South Lunar Node, creating a potent T-square to Saturn, which still conjoins
the red supergiant star Antares. This
creates a strong resonance not only to the theme of the Saturn-Neptune square,
but also creates a strong stimulus for Saturn to express, which can manifest as
the overt expression of established authoritarian power, especially in the
big-business of politics. It also impels movement from the south to north node
energetics, which means movement from antiquated ideals, veils of illusion and
unfulfilled dreams of the past to the new directions and opportunities the
eclipse inspires.
There are several standard ways of progressing mundane charts. Among these are the solar quotidian
method, the PSSR method and the Wynn Key method. For our purposes here we will
use the Wynn Key Method. The progressed Ascendant of the eclipse chart on April
10, 2017 using this method is 8sa17
conjunct Saturn [10sa] and square the eclipse luminaries [9vi]. In other
words the eclipse is triggered on this day so that the essence of the eclipse
discussed here is the hidden backdrop to the G7 meeting.
* Incidentally, Russia’s national symbol is the Bear
