Belgium has accused the EU of "downplaying" its concerns over a plan to use frozen Russian assets held in Europe to support Ukraine.
"We keep on pleading for an alternative, namely the EU borrowing the amounts needed on the markets," says Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot.
The EU's proposal, which has been championed by the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, would see €140bn (£123bn) of Russian state assets held in Belgium transformed into a "reparations loan" to support Kyiv financially next year.
The majority of EU countries support the plan and some have criticised the Belgians for blocking it. Belgium argues such a move would imperil a peace deal in the short term and risk legal action by Russia in the future. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz7n95wzl9lo
The astrological chart for the Full Moon on December 5, 2025, at 00:13:47 CET in Brussels highlights some intense dynamics, particularly with the Moon at 13°03' Gemini opposing the Sun at 13°03' Sagittarius, forming a square to the Lunar Nodes (North Node at 13°30' Pisces, South Node at 13°30' Virgo). This configuration is classically known as a "Moon Wobble" in mundane astrology, often associated with periods of instability, emotional volatility, and potential political upheavals or shifts in collective direction. The alignment with the angles in Brussels—Moon near the Midheaven (MC) and Sun/Venus conjunct near the Imum Coeli (IC)—adds a local flavor, emphasizing public authority (10th house Moon) and financial/resources matters (Venus as the "money planet" tied to foundations via IC).. Reports indicate that EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other leaders are pressing Belgium's Prime Minister Bart De Wever to allow the use of frozen Russian central bank assets—largely held in Belgium's Euroclear depository—to fund a €90 billion loan or aid package for Ukraine's war efforts. Belgium has been resistant, citing legal and retaliatory risks from Russia, but the pressure is mounting ahead of key EU decisions.
This could represent the kind of "upheaval" Moon Wobbles are noted for, especially with the 10th house emphasis potentially spotlighting leadership figures like von der Leyen (Moon in 10th symbolizing public women or authorities).Regarding the fixed stars conjunct the Moon at 13° Gemini, Diana Rosenberg's analysis in Secrets of the Ancient Skies (pages 272-73) captures a rebellious, risk-taking energy here. Stars in this area, including influences from Lepus (the Hare constellation, symbolizing haste and evasion) and the extended reach of Aldebaran (the Bull's Eye at about 9° Gemini, known for integrity tests leading to falls from grace), often correlate with individuals or entities clashing against norms, acting impulsively, and facing consequences. In a mundane chart for Brussels (hub of EU/NATO), this might manifest as impatient policy pushes that challenge international norms around asset seizures, potentially putting the EU "in harm's way" via legal battles or geopolitical backlash. Historically, similar alignments have coincided with financial scandals or power shifts—think of past Moon Wobbles linking to events like government resignations or economic pivots.If this Full Moon triggers a breakthrough (or breakdown) in the assets debate, it wouldn't be surprising astrologically. Venus-Sun near the IC suggests hidden financial maneuvers coming to light, possibly resolving (or escalating) by the lunar peak. Keep an eye on December 5–7 for any announcements—Moon Wobbles' effects often peak around the exact aspect and linger for days.

Currently EU’s progresed solar arc Moon (hard aspects) -----> Belgium’s asteroid/planets/TNPs ------> Admetus - Chiron - Moon - Poseidon
Admetos is the ultimate “brick wall” — immovable principles, stubborn resistance, refusal to yield, “this far and no farther.” The EU’s emotional/collective “need” (SA Moon) is slamming into Belgium’s deepest ideological red line. We are literally watching this play out right now: Belgium (especially under the new N-VA-led government of Bart De Wever) is the only member state that is categorically refusing to allow the use of profits/interest from frozen Russian assets to be sent to Ukraine, citing legal principles, rule-of-law concerns, amid fear of Russian retaliation against Euroclear (headquartered in Brussels). Every other EU country has already agreed. Belgium is the Admetos hold-out.
Solar Arc Moon → natal Chiron
Chiron here adds the theme of a wound that cannot be ignored, and, as Martha Lang-Wescott says, “someone trying to circumvent the rules.”. The EU is indeed trying multiple legal and diplomatic work-arounds to bypass Belgium’s veto (threats of qualified-majority voting, separate G7 mechanisms, moral pressure, etc.). Belgium feels this as a direct wound to its sovereignty and legal identity (Chiron is exactly conjunct Belgium’s natal Moon in most versions of the 1830 chart — the nation’s emotional core).
Poseidon = ideology, morality, “the truth,” higher principles, sometimes religious-style righteousness.Both sides are framing this in almost spiritual terms: EU: “It is the morally correct thing to help Ukraine with Russia’s own money.”
Belgium (De Wever & N-VA): “We will not violate property rights and the rule of law, even under pressure — that is the higher principle.”
This is exactly Martha’s “sticking to principles… because of ideology or karma” playing out in real time.
The EU keeps pushing (SA Moon), and Belgium keeps digging in its heels (Admetos–Poseidon). The Chiron contact explains why both sides feel wounded and why the EU is looking for creative (or questionable) ways to bypass Belgium’s resistance.
