Claims
that President Bashar al-Assad’s forces have used chemical weapons are almost
as old as the Syrian civil war itself. They have produced strong reactions, and
none more so than in the case of the alleged attack in April last year on the
opposition-controlled area of Douma near Damascus in which 43 people are said
to have been killed by chlorine gas. The United States, Britain and France
responded by launching airstrikes on targets in the Syrian capital. Were the
strikes justified? An inspector from the eight-member team sent to Douma has
just come forward with disturbing allegations about the international watchdog,
the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which was tasked with
obtaining and examining evidence. 15

According to reports the chemical attack took place on 7
April 2018, at 4:30 pm UTC [1]. A chart for this data drawn for Douma is shown
here. As always planetary combinations on the angles are the ones to focus on.
Here we have a T-square comprising Uranus-Pluto-TNP Zeus aligned with angles –
a combination commonly associated with violent events. In the last couple of
days transit Mars has been moving over the Ascendant [25li] bringing the
configuration to life. Among other things an activated Uranus-Pluto brings to
light things that have been repressed or long forgotten.
There is yet another way to analyze the chart. We first
make the current solar return chart for the attack and then progress it to Nov.
15, the date of the news. What do we have? Mars [5ge] is on the MC in hard
aspect to a Zeus-Saturn-Pluto square. Since Saturn is the planet of karma,
astrologer Steven Forrest says that under Saturn-Pluto we all get what we
deserve.
For events connected with the stars in the constellation
of the Lyre-Vulture that form the backdrop to Saturn-Pluto, Diana Rosenberg
lists “arrogant cruelty, exploitation and
mistreatment of helpless people, ambush, murder”. She also adds:
This is a place
that brings out what may be called the extraordinary courage of ordinary
people. Steely courage and a searing, relentless conscience are the keys; they
learn to become heroes of their own lives, patiently doing what is before them,
facing down heavy odds, yet theirs maybe a “destiny of fire.”
There is a dark
side: the Lyre-Vulture was originally a lammergeir, a bird that both hunts and
scavenges; while the best are true blue idealists, lighting the way, pulling
courage from themselves and honoring it in others, the worst may be cynical
opportunists, seeking only their own advantage, closing their minds and hearts,
accepting, allowing (even abetting) the suffering of others.
In other words, when activated these stars bring about
events that highlight the contrast between self-interest and idealism.
Finally we look at the position of Mars on the MC. It is
placed in the Chinese asterism Tíen-Tsan,
the Celestial Slanderer (a
whistleblower!)
