A debate once considered taboo is now erupting at the heart of French politics. Senior French lawmakers are openly questioning whether NATO still serves France’s national interests as tensions with Washington intensify. From U.S. pressure tactics to the shock deployment of European troops in Greenland, fractures inside the alliance are no longer hidden. French officials warn that blind alignment risks dragging Paris into conflicts it does not control. As Donald Trump refuses to rule out acquiring Greenland, Arctic security has become a flashpoint — and NATO’s unity is facing one of its most serious tests in decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpDMleSTUTY
France's precession-corrected Solar Return (for the year beginning October 6, 2025) and its progression to January 17, 2026, should serve as a compelling illustration of how progressed angles in a Solar Return chart can provide precise timing for when major themes activate key themes in the Solar Return Chart.
The precession-corrected Solar Return shows a forming Full Moon opposition (Sun in Libra opposite Moon in Aries). This axis highlights themes of balance vs. independence, partnerships vs. self-assertion, and public vs. private needs — often manifesting as tensions in alliances, negotiations, or collective agreements.This opposition forms a Grand Cross with the horizon (Ascendant/Descendant) involving the Trans-Neptunian Points (TNPs)
Kronos (authority, leadership, high-level structures, superiority).
Hades (decline, decay, endings, underlying rot or hidden problems).
Cupido (groups, associations, unity, family-like bonds or alliances).
As interpreted via Martha Wescott's keyword system for TNPs, this combination suggests differences of opinion (Kronos) leading to a decline (Hades) in group unity (Cupido). In a mundane context like a nation's chart (France, natal October 6, 1958, 6:30 CET, Paris), this powerfully symbolizes fractures in international alliances, authority disputes within coalitions, and erosion of unity in collective structures — directly mirroring debates over NATO's relevance to France's interests, U.S. dominance, and risks of being pulled into unwanted conflicts.
The Progression Method: Aligning Angles for Precise Timing
Early-to-mid 20th-century astrologers like H.S. Green and C.E.O. Carter, along with more recent practitioners like Martha Wescott Lang, emphasized progressing the Solar Return chart's angles (primarily the Midheaven and Ascendant) to track when the year's symbolic setup "comes alive." This draws from techniques like:Solar Quotidian (daily charts where angles advance roughly 1° per day, aligning return planets to natal or transiting points). Progressed Sidereal Solar Return (PSSR) — pioneered by Cyril Fagan — which progresses the return angles at about 1.25° per day (accounting for the sidereal year's slight excess over the tropical/calendar year, leading to ~1.25 revolutions per cycle). This creates a continuous angular progression that dovetails with the next return.
By January 17, 2026, the progressed angles align the Grand Cross (Sun-Moon opposition + TNPs Kronos-Hades-Cupido) precisely with the horizon/MC axis. This "triggers" the configuration, making the year's latent tensions visible and manifest in real-world events.
Real-World Correlation on January 17, 2026: Around this date, French politics saw heightened public discussion of NATO skepticism:A resolution by Clémence Guetté (Vice-President of the National Assembly, La France Insoumise) calling for planning a phased withdrawal from NATO (or at least its integrated command) gained traction, citing U.S. "imperial" policies, risks to French sovereignty, and examples like pressures on Venezuela and threats to Greenland.
This tied into broader tensions from Trump's refusal to rule out acquiring Greenland, prompting European (including French) troop deployments there as a signal of sovereignty and NATO strains. Media and analysts described it as a "breaking point" in alliance unity, with senior lawmakers openly questioning NATO's value — echoing the decline in group unity under authority disputes.
While no full "NATO exit" announcement occurred (it remained a debated proposal, not policy), the timing aligns strikingly with the progressed activation, bringing the Solar Return's themes into sharp public focus.
Why This Method Can Be Effective (Even If Not Widely Used Today): These progressed angle techniques excel at mundane/national timing or pinpointing event windows within a Solar Return year, often more precisely than transits alone (which can be broad) or secondary progressions (which move slower). The rapid angular motion (~1°–1.25° daily) allows day-or-week accuracy when a key configuration reaches the angles.Modern astrology favors transits, secondary progressions, profections, or solar arc directions, Yet, as our France example shows, they can deliver impressive hits when the natal promise + return symbolism + progressed trigger converge — especially for geopolitical or collective shifts.This should serve as a great reminder that layering techniques (Solar Return themes → progressed angles for timing → confirmation via transits/news) often yields the most reliable insights.
