Pompeo pressures EU on Iran




It seems for the State Department lately it's all Iran and Venezuela all the time, or perhaps there's just an aversion to real diplomatic work. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-13/pompeo-skips-moscow-trip-pressure-european-officials-brussels-iran

Synastry is the art of relationship astrology. It is a fascinating and illuminating study of how individuals or groups interact with one another. No matter how hard we try we cannot get away from the issues that our relationship charts bring up. At any point in time progressed interchart  aspects between two entities can bring up the issues involved in the interaction.

Siby solar arc progressed draconic Sun [19sc] is conjunct EU’s tropical Mercury [19sc]  (Nov.1, 1993) which is conjunct the star Zubeneschamali [19sc]. In his post Cracking our Shells - Our Reality - Our Responsibility, about this star Nick Fiorenza [1] writes:

Zubenelgenubi, the karmic seat for incarnating souls, lies upon the ecliptic. This location in the ecliptic is also the exalted seat of Saturn--lord of karmic retribution, keeper of time. Zubenelgenubi reveals past patterns that keep us entrapped in the reincarnational clutches--from attaining our highest destiny and evolutionary freedom. Karma does not mean something bad, it simply means our past experiential path, one that must be reconciled by moving forth from our past into our dharma. Zubeneschamali, the dharmic seat, lies slightly north of the ecliptic. Zubeneschamali embodies our responsibility to complete our chosen paths of incarnational involvement so we may claim our evolutionary freedom and spiritual awakening. This freedom is embodied by the Northern Crown, which lies above the clutches of the Scorpion.

The chelae create a symmetrical triangle with Dschuba, Delta Scorpio, head of the Scorpion at ~8° sidereal Scorpio, with Dschuba being the apex. Dschuba is the administrative seat determining the karmic / dharmic path of involvement for the incarnating soul, based on souls' experiential growth. Alignments with Dschuba are indicative of the need to take personal responsibility for our entrapment and for our cycle of degeneration, death and rebirth, while alignments within the chelae are of this entrapment and indicate our karmic / dharmic responsibilities.

Let us understand what this means in the current context of the EU-US relationship. It is well known that  the EU has been subservient to the US. France’s finance minister is on record [1] as saying that  European countries should push back harder against the Trump administration over the Iran nuclear deal and not act as “vassals” to the US [2].  The star Zubenelgenubi reveals past patterns that keep us entrapped while Zubeneschamali embodies our responsibility to claim our evolutionary freedom and spiritual awakening. Europe hangs in the balance. Is it going to choose a path that will convert the “circle” of entrapment into a an evolutionary “spiral”? That is the question that the Siby-EU progressed synastry is asking. Nothing is pre-destined. However since Mercury is conjunct Zubeneschamali the probability is higher that Europe may choose freedom from US diktats.





If solar progressions are looked upon as the “hour”hand of the cosmic clock, one can imagine the phases of the Moon as the “minute” hand, so to speak. Here is the chart for the First Quarter Moon of May 12 as Pompeo heads to Brussels. Moreover, the Moon [21le] is within just two degrees of a square to EU’s radix Mercury [19sc], thereby acting as a trigger to the “hour”hand.

Notice that this phase has a special significance for Brussels since it falls on the horizon axis. About the First Quarter Moon, Nick Fiorenza writes:

Our First Quarter Moon brings emphasis to adventure, exploration, breaking trail, to go where we have not gone before, to get on with it—to engage. These are actions that require the courage of self-conviction, belief in self, in our paths in life and in the future, and to have the inner confidence to step away from the convention of mass consensus, our dogmas, and those of the masses. The Moon imparts a highly creative energetic and impels the willingness to take high risks to achieve our goals.

In the current context that would mean that Europe is being pushed to take a risk and move away from subordination to the US. But will it do it? That is entirely up to the EU leaders. As the English astrologer Alan Leo observed, “The stars incline, they do not compel”.
