The Dam Starts to Break: The EU unfreezes Russian bank deposits

 

A GENERAL ACCEPTING DEFEAT


The European Union will amend its sanctions on Moscow on Wednesday by allowing the unfreezing of some funds of top Russian banks that may be required to ease bottlenecks in the global trade of food and fertilisers, a draft document showed. https://bit.ly/3PqxNQn

 

The EU decided to unfreeze Russian bank deposits under the guise of a food crisis, but the reality is that Germany agreed to exchange part of the sanctions for... some natural gas from Gazprom. The news has sent shockwaves through Ukraine, which sees itself losing support within the EU.

 


Can this change of heart be seen in the stars? Indeed it can. In a previous post [1] we saw that the Full Moon at the midpoint between Berlin and Moscow was placed very significantly on the horizon axis. 

In its positive expression a Cancer-Capricorn Full Moon is about growing up. It is about uncovering security needs and integrating them into one’s life discarding false buffers along the way. The opposition can unearth deep seated fears which in fact might be related to earliest feelings around security. A Cancerian-Plutonian pattern can be about the release of something that is stagnant and stuck in the past. By focusing on the polarity between what is truly secure (Capricorn) and what has been created as a superficial security concern (Cancer) one opens doors of opportunity. The opposition can mark an evolution towards a new base of operation and new relationships between family (Cancer) and society (Capricorn). 

Notice that in the Full Moon chart Ceres, the dwarf planet connected with food, is conjunct the Sun and opposite Moon-Pluto. This is why the food crisis has come into the picture. But Ceres goes beyond just food, it is about nurturing oneself in the right way. 

The Full Moon is reminding us that in order to take care of ourselves we REALLY have to be true to ourselves, not harbor or permit long periods of unhealthy emotions, and work to become very clear on the impact of exposure to manipulation by our caretakers or those in authority (Germany - US?). With the Moon-Pluto conjunction all that is stagnant and stuck can be released, and toxins can be purged emotionally or psychologically. 

Finally take a look at the Sabian for the Full Moon [2]: 

Capricorn 22 (21° - 22°): A GENERAL ACCEPTING DEFEAT GRACEFULLY

Keynote: Finding Success in Apparent Defeat

It is by no means the case that the greatest worth of an experience is measured by its success; what matters is how we respond on an inner level. If we can find lessons in failure then we have turned the moment to our advantage. Yet if we habituate ourselves to the need to win, then inevitably we will lose grace and wisdom; serene indifference to outcome is the highest attainment.
