Sun-Pluto square & the US threat to Syria

Pluto – god of the Underworld


The US' reaction to the alleged chemical incident in the town of Douma has clearly shown it was the long-sought pretext to attack Syria, which was finally provided by the “White Helmets’ provocateurs,” the Russian UN envoy said.

The alleged chemical incident in Douma was only beneficial for the militants, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said, urging his Western counterparts to explain why Damascus would decide to do so. The purported attack was reported on Saturday, amid the evacuation of militants from the besieged town.  The allegation of a chemical attack, pushed by the pro-militant sources, has been eagerly supported by the US and other Western countries, who squarely pinned the blame for the unverified incident on Damascus.

As the drama of a possible war inn Syria unfolds, Sun and Pluto make an exact square on April 11. At Washington, DC this square is very significant as it straddles the meridian.


Pluto is the universal life force which impels all evolution and transformation through upheaval, breakdown and decay, but also through regeneration and the purifying fire of catharsis. It reflects the often terrifying reality which lurks beneath the surface of things, beneath the veneer of civilization, and which is periodically unleashed with great destructive and transformative force. The desire for revenge,  jealousy, compulsive greed and lust and so forth, reflect the activity of Pluto.  Pluto is visible in the elemental power of a volcanic eruption, of a devouring lion, of a war, of an orgasm, of a mother in the climactic stages of giving birth. It is present in all violent, purgatorial discharge of pent-up energies--from the Earth as in an earthquake, or from the human body and psyche as in therapy or in a psychotic breakdown. It has been said that in the course of life we are all consumed by life's fire: the only question--and this is where our challenge lies--is whether we will be deformed or perfected by that process.

When a planet forms a major aspect to Pluto, that second planetary archetype tends to be greatly intensified and empowered in one’s life and character, sometimes to a compulsive extreme. It may be a source of power struggles in one's life, outer or inner, but also of profound personal transformation. [1]

Here the Sun is forming a square to Pluto. When functioning well, the Sun can focus one’s will power and capacity for positive action. But if dysfunctional it can lead to selfishness, insensitivity and tyranny over the lives of others. In the US threat to bomb Syria, is the Sun functioning positively or negatively?
