The
anxiety seeping into the Israeli right wing ahead of Donald Trump’s visit is
comparable only to the euphoria that gripped it when the ostensible master deal
maker was elected U.S. president. What Habayit Hayehudi leader Naftali Bennett
and his political cohorts saw as the realization of a dream of generations
turned into a potential nightmare. A bevy
of politicians from the right and left were in the United States this week,
some in Washington, others in New York, for the Jerusalem Post Annual
Conference. They schmoozed with legislators and administration officials, and
their impressions were similar − something big is about to happen in our
region. Grampa Donald is cooking up something, but nobody knows what’s in the
pot. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.788770
In mundane astrology, the cardinal ingresses of the Sun are
of utmost importance. Of these the Sun’s entry into Capricorn is considered by
many to be the “master chart” of the year. Presented here is the Capricorn
ingress chart at Tel Aviv, Israel. With the Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto
T-square straddling the angles, this chart becomes extremely significant. The
following extract [1] from Astrobarry explains the potential of the T.
Ever since it entered
Libra back in September, Jupiter has been progressing into a T-square formation with Uranus and Pluto, with all
three now positioned in cardinal signs. A T-square consists of two planets
opposing one another, with each simultaneously squaring a third planet.
This cardinal T-square
between Jupiter, Uranus, and Pluto remains our biggest astrological influence
through the first three-quarters of '17. The Uranus-Pluto
square's interpretive field should be rather 'old-hat' to us at this point. What's different now
is the participation of a third planetary player-Jupiter in Libra-adding a
distinct voice to the ongoing discussion between Uranus and Pluto. Jupiter's
additional voice presents us the possibility of opening up to new alternatives
for how to concurrently address both Uranus-in-Aries's liberatory impulses and
Pluto-in-Capricorn's authority-structure shadow-work. But, sorry to say,
Jupiter will not force us to embrace bigger-and-better solutions; it merely
fosters a climate in which the efforts we intentionally make to actively create
such alternatives will receive benefic support from Jupiter. It's just as
likely that, without our mindful directional steering of its energy toward
particular aims, Jupiter will instead simply magnify the Uranus-Pluto dynamics
already in play injecting a blast of hot air that fans the
flames of rebellion and provides the institutional power-agents instructive
fodder for how to best engineer their self-preservationist reactions.
Jupiter in Libra holds
the promise of enhancing our capacity to weigh both sides of an equation, to
advocate for fairness over domination, and to gracefully negotiate win-win
solutions where all parties gain something while giving something else up.
These are some of Libra's finest qualities, and Jupiter's presence there
beckons us to invest greater enthusiasm and broad-sweeping vision in such
approaches, as a counterbalance to both impetuous one-sided action in the name
of unspecific 'change' (Uranus in Aries) and covert authoritarian dealings
which seek to strengthen and secure existing status-quos by any means necessary
(Pluto in Capricorn).
In squaring Pluto,
Jupiter in Libra seeks to interrupt the strategies and stances which we've long
relied on to provide us guiding structure, stability, and/or a sense of
purpose. Why? Because, if we look closely at what we've come to accept as 'the
system' or 'just the way things are', we can't help but notice some floorboards
are rotting, maybe the whole foundation itself is compromised revealing where
certain important considerations are now falling through the cracks, and/or
collateral consequences from prior schemes have accumulated to an intolerable
level.
Jupiter in Libra
welcomes us to openly engage in dialogue about what's broken, with the various
stakeholders whose needs currently aren't being effectively met and/or who
might have some novel suggestions for how to improve or refine the governing
master-plan so it better addresses the divergent concerns of a wider audience.
For Pluto-in-Capricorn architectures and authorities that are willing to
dialogue-with full knowledge that such discussions could become quite intense
or difficult-to-stomach, due to the criticality of owning one's blind-spots,
trouble-zones, and power-abuses-this is an opportunity to improve how they're
managing their longer-term life-investments.
Of course, not all
Pluto-in-Capricorn representatives will wish to compromise their existing
command-of-power (even if it ultimately would serve them to adapt in the name
of surer sustainability). That would mean giving up a position of dominance
and/or certain perks that come with it, just so others can get more of what
they want. It might even involve taking accountability for past actions which
ignored, undervalued, or oppressed someone else's cares, as a means to more
self-serving ends.
In such situations
where Pluto isn't sincere about deconstructing and/or diffusing its
power-status, Jupiter-in-Libra's calls to collaborate towards fairer conditions
are likely to met with apparent enthusiasm for it
strengthens Pluto's foothold to seem amenable to Jupiter's mission,
participating in a dialogue in order to quell the outside party's
dissatisfaction, all the while co-opting the discourse for its own underhanded
motives. In other words, we act like we're interested in learning how to better
honor others' concerns, then stealthily scheme to use what we learn to help us
further fortify our already-established rank. Under this Jupiter-Pluto square,
existing power dynamics may be re-inscribed by neutralizing the rival
voices-with their very own language as a tool.
Similarly, Jupiter's
opposition to Uranus presents us a chance to deescalate any urge to haphazardly
disrupt customary practices and/or destroy all semblance of tradition, in the
single-minded pursuit of liberatory change. But to do that, we must make
conciliatory efforts which both honor these zealous change-making impulses and
simultaneously interject conscious consideration of the 'other side' and its
well-being. What potentially troublesome side-effects might our crudest acts of
resistance or rebellion unleash? How might our own shows of freedom-loving
self-regard actually harm someone else's ability to meet their needs? What are
we not seeing? And do we care?
Readers will be able to see
how perfectly applicable the above extract is to the long standing Middle East problem. On May 22, when Trump
arrives in Tel Aviv, the progressed Capricorn ingress angles once again align
with the T-square highlighting that date
as one opportunity to resolve the problem but as as explained above only if the parties
concerned act honestly.
