In Kyiv's corridors of power, Blinken's visit attained significance after the head of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Aleksey Danilov claimed that a third world war is already underway. During his two-day stay, Blinken is expected to unveil a new US wartime aid package of at least $1 billion, according to a senior state department official cited by Reuters. https://tinyurl.com/yc4n2d6d
Blinken’s visit to Kiev on Sept. 6 takes place just as Venus stationed direct. Explaining the dynamics of the Venus retrograde cycle and the current New Moon, Gray Crawford wrote:
The catalytic aspect between this lunation and Uranus will bring a liberating and propulsive wave to ride. It will be worth making time and space to contemplate whatever internal shifts of priorities have been occurring during the past month of Venus retrograde in order to realign plans and life structures accordingly. The more you can make space to release what is passing away and integrate what feels most alive, the better you will be able to adapt and center focus on vivifying creative paths to follow. https://graycrawford.net/
A look at the chart for the Venus station at Washington DC shows the prominent Pluto square North Node (Aries) - South Node (Libra) straddling the horizon.
As the South Node enters Libra, the focus shifts to our relationships and the need for harmony. This period prompts us to reflect on our past patterns of over-dependency or people-pleasing tendencies and find a healthy balance in our interactions. It’s an opportune time to reevaluate our partnerships, set boundaries, and foster healthier connections.
With the North Node in Aries, we are encouraged to step out of our comfort zones and embrace the qualities of Aries, such as courage, independence, and self-assertion. This is a time for personal growth, where we can take charge of our lives and pursue our passions with unwavering determination. https://tinyurl.com/2965x6d5
Moreover, the South Node [27li] is conjunct the centaur Elatus which asks us to “get real” and abandon “projects or deals that are not well thought out, not well prepared”.
The North Node [27ar] is conjunct the asteroids Siwa[28ar] and Lachesis [29ar] - with all these apex Pluto [28cp]. Martha Wescott delineates the combination as below:
Lachesis/Siva
Angry scenes (or feelings of rage) may result in several kinds of INTERRUPTIONS-- it's as if the anger is either a result of finally seeing where things are gonna' end up (unless someone puts a halt to it,) or the recognition of a destructive cycle is enough to cause you or others to reassess-- to call "time out" so you can know whether you want to continue on the same path or try something different. So there will be attempts to INTERCEPT or INTERRUPT a destructive cycle--especially where anger becomes the tail that wags the dog.
Lachesis/Pluto
Sometimes "things happen" to "step in and shake people." In other words, something "cuts off" the way things had been going--and it picks people up and rattles them SO THAT they will re-vamp their lives (and/or relationships.) I'm alluding here to the fact that it can feel as tho' "a bomb" drops into a person's life to "get their attention" and force some changes. Sometimes that "bomb" is experienced as a compulsion, something they were powerless not to do, something someone else did that backs them into a corner, or something that is the product of psychological scars from a long time ago. Sometimes the "bomb" comes in the form of a financial crisis... Something happens...and then nothing can ever be the same. (Nor should it be. The gods have called a "time out" so that integrity can be restored and people can rediscover their bottom line, their Truth.) You can definitely expect something like this to be part of your year! And include in this the fact that some folks are "driven" to not completing things with causing or having a "disruption" of some kind...for them, it's a kind of control mechanism...
And can it be a coincidence that the upcoming Sep. 16 New Moon [21vi] square the Sibly Mars [21ge] (war) and conjunct Neptune [22vi] (fatigue) also brings the same Pluto-Node combination to the angles at Washington DC ?
This then summarizes what is happening behind the scene and Blinken’s talk of giving Ukraine what it needs to succeed in the counteroffensive is for public consumption.
