Europe (and NATO) far from being a resolute united front confronting Russia, clearly revealed their deep divisions with Macron’s visit to meet Putin on Feb.7. In this post I intend to show how the recent Venus retrograde cycle conjunct Pluto is changing our value system (here Macron’s) so that what we thought was desirable earlier no longer appeals. Venus-Pluto teaches us respect for the rights, needs and values of others. It asks for integrity, emotional honesty and trustworthiness in relationships.
Shown here is Macron’s horoscope. Notice that the Venus retrograde cycle conjunct Pluto has taken place on his Ascendant [28cp]. This is not only the US Sibly Pluto position [27cp] but also the degree of the recent Mercury-Pluto conjunction.
About Pluto transit over the Ascendant, Steven Forrest writes:
This transit challenges you to reveal who you really are and what you really want. It is a season of “unmasking”. Some false note has crept into your external, presented self. It may be an old lie, told for safety or convenience, that is now being unravelled. It may be that you’ve changed inwardly to the point that your old self is simply running on momentum…and the situation is becoming untenable. Should you make a weak response your behaviour will oscillate between numbness and apathy on the one hand and touchy defiance on the other. As your response evolves there may be a tendency towards brutal solutions. You may “nuke” a long-standing relationship. While we must recognize the virtue of working hard on relationships and sticking with them, we must also accept that sometimes alliances that have been meaningful and alive come to pieces where they are no longer consistent with who we are: a distinctly Plutonian truth.
Next take a look at Macron’s current solar progressions:

In the present context, the solar progression essentially means a breaking away from one’s family or group (NATO?)
The crisis has been activated by the February 1 New Moon [12aq] conjunct Macron’s progressed Sun and transit Saturn in Aquarius which it rules. The depth of contemplation experienced through Saturn is at full strength within Aquarius, as it is an airy, intellectual, and humanitarian zodiacal sign that can foster analysis of interpersonal dynamics as well as vast societal concerns impacting the wider world.
Saturn is known for constructing boundaries that can protect yet also constrain through becoming too hardened and set against change. Yet the deep contemplation of Saturn also allows for a testing of the limits of known boundaries that can bring about a reconstruction and renovation of the boundaries and structures we implement. Since the beginning of 2021 there has been a radical testing of personal and societal boundaries and structures brought about by the square aspect between Saturn in Aquarius with Uranus in Taurus.
