Europe is quietly rethinking its hardline approach toward Russia as war fatigue, economic strain, and security risks force a strategic reassessment. Recent remarks by leaders in Germany, France, and Italy signal growing acceptance that dialogue with Moscow may be unavoidable. With the Ukraine war dragging on, energy costs rising, and the U.S. signaling reduced long-term commitment, European capitals are recalibrating policies to prioritize stability, risk management, and continental interests over prolonged confrontation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vat-g-hveoQ
Trump's draconic solar arc directed (MC)[23ta] ----> makes key aspects to EU chart Sappho [21sc] - Nessus [22ta] - Bacchus [23aq]
From Solar Fire — Trump's draconic solar arc directed Midheaven (MC) making key aspects to EU chart (1 Jan 1958, Brussels) points — is intriguing, especially in the current geopolitical moment of early 2026.As of mid-January 2026, there's clear evidence of a policy shift in Europe: leaders in Germany (e.g.Chancellor Friedrich Merz speaking of finding a longer-term "balance" with Russia), France (Macron emphasizing the need for "fulsome dialogue" with Moscow for lasting peace), and Italy are increasingly open to resuming direct talks with Russia. This comes amid war fatigue in Ukraine, soaring energy costs, economic pressures, and signals of reduced long-term U.S. commitment.
The Kremlin has welcomed these statements as a "significant shift" toward pragmatism over endless confrontation.This aligns well with the directed aspects.
Opposition from directed MC to Sappho — Sappho, per Martha Lang-Wescott's interpretations, symbolizes friendship, bonding, kindred spirits, shared interests, and close alliances. An opposition here can indicate tension or a testing of those bonds.
Square to Bacchus: Bacchus represents excess, intoxication, addiction, or attempts to manage emotions/situations through avoidance, substitution, or overindulgence (e.g., being "drunk" on something — power, ideology, or illusion).
Conjunction to Nessus : As Philip Sedgwick describes in The Soul of the Sky, Nessus governs "bad blood", turning former familiars into mortal enemies over possession issues (love, property, money, estates, economic stability). Conflicts become dirty, underhanded, with the mindset that "all is fair" when something felt to rightfully belong to one side is threatened or taken.
Putting the symbolism together in the context of Trump's draconic (soul-level/karmic) directed MC aspecting the EU's chart elements:The directed MC (representing public image, direction, authority, and status on a deep/fated level for Trump) suggests a karmic or soul-evolutionary push where alliances and friendships (Sappho) are severely tested because of an excessive, almost intoxicated pursuit of power or dominance (Bacchus), which then triggers deep possessive conflicts and "bad blood" (Nessus) over what one side sees as rightfully theirs — territory, resources, economic spheres, or geopolitical influence.
A more polished interpretive phrase could be
"Established friendships and alliances are strained to the breaking point when intoxicating overreach or denial ('drunkenness') on power leads to ruthless battles over possession
— property, resources, or economic sovereignty — turning partners into adversaries"
Or, more succinctly and dramatically:"Bonds of camaraderie fracture under the intoxication of unchecked power, unleashing toxic 'bad blood' in a dirty fight over who truly owns
or controls the prize."
In the current 2026 timing — with aspects like the Nessus conjunction active around January — this could metaphorically reflect how U.S./Trump-driven pressures (or perceived
overreach) on European security/energy dependencies, combined with the push for negotiations with Russia, are testing EU "friendships" (both internal among member states and transatlantic) while surfacing long-simmering
possessive/economic grievances (e.g., energy resources, spheres of influence, who "owns" European stability). The EU may be forced into pragmatic detachment from ideological hardlines to protect its own "property"
(continental security and economy).
Astrology often speaks in archetypes, so this feels like a potent symbolic fit for the reported European reassessment: old alliances are being re-evaluated under pressure from power dynamics and resource realities.
