Merkel Draws the Line Against Trump




German Chancellor Angela Merkel has turned the corner on relations with the United States. Her speech at the Munich Security Conference should be considered Germany’s divorce filing from the U.S.-led post-WWII institutional order. It’s clear that to me now that Merkel’s priorities for what is left of her term in office are as follows:Carve out an independent path for EU foreign policy from the U.S……


Quite often it happens that we have been working on ourselves behind the scene and have not yet shown our new selves to the outer world. Then quite suddenly a cosmic event occurs which forces our new personality to come out of the shadows. This applies to individuals as well as nations. 

Astrologers routinely draw the chart for New Moons and Full Moons (Lunations) at the capitals of countries to see if they have a special message for the place. The message is coded into the lunations through the stars that form its backdrop. And this message is visible clearly if the lunation occurs on the horizon or meridian axes.





The Munich Security Conference ended on Feb. 17 just two days before the month’s Full Moon. A chart drawn for the Full Moon at Berlin has the luminaries aligned very significantly with the horizon axis. The Moon [0vi42] is conjunct the alpha star of Leo star - Regulus [0vi05] while Sun is amid the stars of sidereal Aquarius. About the Full Moon, Nick Fiorenza writes:

The Sun's location in early sidereal Aquarius impels us to strip off the cloaks of personality-based facades to reveal true heart-level self and to live from our deeper hearts' truth for the greater nourishment of all. This energetic expresses through the Regulus Full Moon, impelling us to embody this principle as a part of our individuality.

On the personal level, Regulus is about our inner "vertical integrity," that is, living true to self, openly on the world stage. This means walking in confidence and with self-respect, aligned with the truth in our hearts, in thought, word, and deed. Our personal integrity, our inner vertical attunement, must precede any horizontal, humanitarian participation in the world (Leo's opposite Aquarian pole). Without this inner integrity we become self-sacrificing, entrapped in a sympathetic resonance of dance, giving self away at the cost of our hearts' truth. This perpetuates discord and dysfunction for self and for others because we are simply living a lie. Only by living from our personal integrity and true to heart do we provide opportunity for others to also stand in their integrity and live their truth.

When studying a lunation chart, astrologers often look to see if the lunation aspects any planet. The nature of the planet  adds more detail. Here we see that the TNP Admetus forms a T-square with Full Moon luminaries. Martha Wescott defines Admetus as under:

ADMETUS: issues with self-containment, shunning; literal and behavioral “cold.”

Readers will agree that by moving away from the US, Merkel and Germany are making a statement about living in integrity….true to their selves. Does this issue ring a bell with readers ….are they facing something similar in their lives?
