NY
Times - NATO summit meetings were once ritualistic events, with the member
nations assembling to proclaim that the alliance had never been stronger and
pledging to work together on the security issues of the day.In the Trump era,
however, they have become anxiety-producing confrontations where the main
object is to avoid long-term damage to the military alliance.

-President Donald Trump said his easiest meeting on his foreign trip to Europe
during the next week may be his sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump spoke to reporters before leaving for the NATO summit in Brussels, the
first stop on his trip. He then plans to travel to the United Kingdom where he
will hold talks with Prime Minister Theresa May and meet with Queen Elizabeth II.
Trump will have his first standalone summit with Putin in Helsinki, Finland,
Monday.
A solar eclipse is a worldwide phenomena and does not affect
all places equally. The solar eclipse of July 13 falls on the star Castor of
the Gemini Twins. About Castor, Nick Fiorenza writes:
Castor is the liaison
in the world of daily human affairs, and is of partnerships and cooperation.
Castor brings resources and people together that serve to get logistics
accomplished in the world of business and commerce.
But this is only the positive interpretation of the Twins.
Quite often the Twins are at loggerheads. Notice in the picture above, while
they hug each other (co-operation), they also carry weapons in one hand
(fighting).
To evaluate how an eclipse is likely to affect a place,
astrologers primarily look at the planetary configurations that align with the
angles. In this post we will study how
the solar eclipse of July 13 is likely to manifest in (a) Brussels – the venue
for the NATO meeting on July 12 (b)
Helsinki – the venue for the Trump-Putin meeting on July 16.
Shown here are the charts for the solar eclipse at Brussels
and Helsinki. Notice that at Brussels we
have a Hades-Kronos-Saturn-Cupido opposition aligned with the horizon axis. A
simple interpretation for this configuration is:
Hades-Kronos-Saturn-Cupido: to
feel that regulations, governments or leaders (Kronos) – and the delays or
restrictions (Saturn) they impose – contribute to a decline (Hades) in group
unity (Cupido).
It is well known that the NATO alliance is in a state of
high tension heading into the Brussels summit . with Trump demanding that all
members pay their fair share of the budget. In addition there is an obvious
personal antipathy of the U.S. president toward the alliance in general and
some of the key leaders in particular. Donald Trump’s open dislike of Germany’s
Angela Merkel, the U.K.’s Theresa May and Canada’s Justin Trudeau, for example,
feels deeply rooted and intractable.
Now look at the eclipse chart at Helsinki. Here a Grand Cross containing Uranus-Apollon-Node straddles the horizon. This is an entirely different energy which
can be summarized as follows:
Uranus-Node-Apollon: The
formation of new associations (Uranus-Node) presents opportunities for expansion and growth (Apollon).
The July 16 Trump-Putin summit if successful will lead to a
new association in the face of
near-total establishment opposition. It
should ultimately bring peace to
a war-weary world and new opportunities for growth.
Look at how different these energies are. It is almost as
though the choice of the venue is conditioning (not deciding) the outcome!
PS:
Readers who care to make the eclipse chart for London will find the same
Hades-Kronos-Saturn-Cupido opposition aligned with the horizon axis. Notice
that events in London are bearing out the meaning of this configuration too.
