MANILA
— The Philippines said Tuesday it had officially informed the United States
that it was scrapping a military pact that has given the longtime American ally
a security blanket for the past two decades.
The
notice to terminate the pact, the Visiting Forces Agreement, comes as President
Rodrigo Duterte has warmed up to China while distancing himself from the United
States, the Philippines’ former colonial ruler. The move also comes as the
Philippines has shown increasing reluctance to stand up to China over. its territorial claims in the South China Sea

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 illuminate the issues involved in the interaction. The table below shows
the US Sibly solar arc progressions to the chart of the Phillippines [1].

Martha Wescott provides the following definitions:
CUPIDO: Issues in
the family history; group unity or dynamics; comments on the home, residence or
household themes; decor; artistry; sense for art; partner or family members.
MINERVA: Approval
seeking; whether one is willing and/or able to do those things that will please
another.
LILITH:
Triangulation; competing; selection & rejection; decisions (regarding angle
or aspects;) divided loyalties.
URANUS the Great Awakener supports independence. causing break-down of
established patterns or structures that have out-lived their usefulness to
replace them with creative new structures.
In her book, The
Orders of Light, Martha Wescott delineates CUPIDO-URANUS thus:
Cupido-Uranus:
Sudden or unexpected events in the family, partnership or group; ruptures with
partners because of intolerance or a need to “live one’s own life".
The addition of the asteroids completes the picture.
Lilith stands for triangulation or divided loyalties. Refusing to please
(Minerva) the US, Philippines is cosying up to China and rejecting the US.
To complete the analysis, let us look at current solar
return chart for the Philippines. Notice that the Saturn-Pluto-S. Node
conjunction in Capricorn is placed very significantly on the MC.
Saturn in
Capricorn is all about control. But Pluto is a pattern disrupter and
deprogrammer. Its transit through Capricorn is serving to destroy Capricorn’s
false walls in order to expose the corrupt workings of the system. The Moon’s
Nodes are linked to partnerships. More specifically, the S.Node indicates partnerships
of the past that need to be released because they are no longer workable. Saturn,
Pluto and the S.Node are placed amid the stars of the Archer and Aquila, the
Eagle, both easily recognizable symbols of war and by association – the
military. This combination, therefore, is asking for a release of past military
alliances.
To confirm our analysis, let us progress the solar return
chart to Feb. 11, the date of the announcement by Philippines. Notice that on
this date the progressed Ascendant is beginning to line up with the Saturn-Pluto-S.
Node conjunction square the TNP Zeus (linked to the military) – a military
alliance is coming to an end.
The Sabian symbol [2] for the solar return Saturn and S.
Node clearly indicates why the break up is taking place.
PHASE 288
(CAPRICORN 18°): THE UNION JACK FLAG FLIES FROM A BRITISH WARSHIP.
KEYNOTE: The
protection afforded to individuals and groups by powerful institutions in
charge of maintaining order.
This symbol
reflects conditions prevailing in the past when Great Britain's fleet was
policing the seas under the international principle of the freedom of the seas.
Times have changed, but the concept remains valid. Power is required to
maintain social order and relatively peaceful interpersonal as well as
international relationships. Alas, this power can easily be misused under the
pretext of preserving "law and order." Justice and compassion must
balance social power, and especially the power of privileged groups. Where this
symbol appears, the need for protection may be in evidence — or it may be a
warning against using power for selfish advantage.
This is the third
symbol in the fifty-eighth five-fold sequence. It brings to us a realization of
the ambivalence of POLITICAL POWER, its value and its dangers.
