Sabian Symbol for Aquarius 28° ("A tree felled and sawed to ensure a supply of wood for the winter")
Europe Is About To Commit Financial Self-Immolation & Its Leaders Know It (Dec 16)
The European Council summit on December 18-19, 2025, in Brussels centers on Ukraine's long-term financing, with frozen Russian assets as a key focus. Recent developments shape expectations for the meeting.
Recent Developments on Frozen Russian Assets: EU governments agreed on December 12, 2025, to indefinitely immobilize approximately €210 billion in Russian Central Bank assets (mostly held at Belgium's Euroclear). This step eliminates the prior six-month unanimous renewal requirement, preventing potential vetoes from countries like Hungary or Slovakia.The move clears a major hurdle for advancing a "reparations loan" structure. This would provide Ukraine with up to €90-165 billion (estimates vary) for military and civilian needs in 2026-2027, backed by future Russian reparations rather than outright confiscation of principal.
Key Issues at the Summit: Remaining obstacles include:Providing guarantees to Belgium (and Euroclear) for shared financial/legal risks from potential Russian lawsuits or countermeasures.
Addressing concerns from Italy (and possibly others) about broader implications for sovereign asset immunity and financial stability.
European Council President António Costa has signaled strong intent to reach an agreement, stating he would extend talks if needed to secure a deal. Momentum has built in recent weeks, partly to counter external pressures (e.g., U.S.-Russia discussions on alternative asset uses).
Astrological Context and Expectations: From an astrological perspective, the EU's natal chart (1 Jan 1993, Brussels) features the Ascendant at 29° Virgo, with the solar arc progressed Hybris/Pluto/Venus cluster forming a hard aspect to it. This aligns with Martha-Louise Westcott's interpretation: expectations of radical financial shifts, power struggles, obsessions, or facing insurmountable limits—potentially testing collective will or revealing a "wiser" boundary. The September 2025 solar eclipse at 29° Virgo conjunct the Ascendant (opposing Saturn-Neptune) suggested a reality check on illusions, now activated by the upcoming December 20 New Moon at 28° Sagittarius on the EU's IC, squaring Saturn-Neptune and conjunct Scheat (hubris/fall themes).These transits highlight themes of overreach, forced confrontation with delusions (e.g., financial invulnerability or geopolitical leverage), and potential dramatic consequences.
Likely Outcomes: In light of current political dynamics, expect the leaders to approve the framework for the reparations-backed loan on December 18, with commitments to risk-sharing guarantees for Belgium. This would be presented as a unified, "emergency" decision to support Ukraine, sidelining dissenting voices (e.g., Hungary's protests, Italy's reservations) through majority pressure or extended negotiations.However, the astrological indicators—emphasizing hubris, power obsessions, and a "fall" risk—suggest this could mark a pyrrhic or self-damaging step. Critics (as in the ZeroHedge piece) view it as undermining the rule of law and inviting retaliation (legal, financial, or reciprocal asset seizures), potentially eroding trust in Europe's financial system long-term. Short-term "success" in aiding Ukraine may come at the cost of heightened internal divisions and external vulnerabilities, fitting the hubris narrative of reaching too high only to face limits.
The Sep 21 solar eclipse which aligns with the EU Asc-Desc axis when relocated to Kiev is placed very prominently square the horizon axis at Kiev, Ukraine. The MC of the eclise chart at Kiev is [27aq44]: The Sabian Symbol for Aquarius 28° ("A tree felled and sawed to ensure a supply of wood for the winter") beautifully aligns with the expected outcome. This symbol evokes prudent, forward-thinking resource management—harvesting and processing a natural asset in advance to secure sustenance and warmth through a harsh season. In the context of Ukraine's eclipse chart, it powerfully suggests that external actions (the "felling and sawing") will make critical resources available precisely when needed most: during the metaphorical (and literal) "winter" of prolonged conflict, economic strain, and potential escalation.
Combining this Sabian with prior elements:The eclipse at 29° Virgo conjunct the TNO Kágára (sudden unblocking of stalemates via intuitive/precise activation) hints at the indefinite freeze as the "trigger" that breaks the impasse. The MC symbol reinforces that this processed resource (the immobilized assets turned into a loan) provides Ukraine with essential "fuel" to endure the coming challenges—fitting the ongoing "winter" phase of the war.
From Ukraine's perspective (Kiev chart), this eclipse activation points to a pragmatic breakthrough: resources harvested and prepared in anticipation of need, ensuring survival and continuity. Short-term relief looks probable post-summit, even if the broader EU hubris themes (from its natal chart) suggest long-term costs or fallout for Europe itself.
