In short, the answer is No. As one media commentator remarked vividly this week, the European leaders have less backbone than a jellyfish, so all their wobbly concern about Donald Trump
wanting to annex the Danish Arctic territory will amount to little in the way of an armed conflict.
There may be some theatrics as in the deployment of European troops this weekend to Greenland. There will be lots of bluster from European politicians. But at the end of the day, the vassals
will be slapped into line.

The scenario outlined in the article paints a tense but ultimately non-escalatory picture, where US ambitions under Trump clash with European (particularly Danish) sovereignty over Greenland, but resolve through posturing rather than outright conflict. Astrologically, layering in Denmark's natal chart, the 2026 solar return (SR), and the recent New Moon transit offers an intriguing lens for interpretation, especially with the tarot tie-in.
Solar Return Chart (June 5, 2026): This annual "birthday" chart sets the tone for Denmark's year ahead. The SR Sun returns to 14° Gemini, but the standout is the Descendant at 28°36' Capricorn—a point symbolizing open relationships, negotiations, and adversaries (7th house matters). Capricorn energy here underscores themes of structure, authority, and long-term control, often involving power structures or territorial boundaries.
The New Moon on January 18, 2026, at 28°43' Capricorn lands almost exactly on this SR Descendant, within a tight 0°07' orb. In mundane astrology, transits to SR angles like this can "activate" the chart early, even before the SR date, signaling pivotal events or themes for the year. A New Moon represents fresh starts, seeding intentions, and hidden potentials emerging— but in Capricorn, it's pragmatic, ambitious, and focused on legacy-building.
Conjunct the Descendant, this could manifest as: New dynamics in international partnerships or rivalries, where Denmark faces an "other" (adversary) challenging its status quo.
Emphasis on boundaries, control, and resource management, aligning with Greenland as a prized asset (rich in minerals, strategic for climate/military purposes).
Tarot Connection: Four of Pentacles (3rd Decan Capricorn): This card rules 20°-29°59' Capricorn, perfectly encompassing the New Moon and SR Descendant positions. Its core themes—holding on tightly to possessions, financial/security concerns, possessiveness, and isolation—resonate deeply with the geopolitical context: Greenland represents a "hoarded" asset for Denmark: vast, resource-rich territory it's historically clung to despite autonomy grants.
The card warns of stinginess or over-control, but also advises building stability through boundaries. In a positive light, it encourages saving for the future (e.g., leveraging Greenland's resources wisely) rather than greed-driven isolation.
Reversed or shadowed aspects might highlight past issues resurfacing, like colonial legacies or external pressures forcing Denmark to confront materialism vs. openness.
Broader Thoughts: Cosmic Reminders via Adversary? This setup feels like a celestial nudge. Astrology often views 7th house activations as mirrors—adversaries (like a Trump-led US push) aren't random but serve to reflect what needs addressing internally. Here, the New Moon conjunct SR Descendant in Capricorn could symbolize the universe "using" an external challenge to remind Denmark (and Europe) to fortify its sovereignty, reassess dependencies, and prioritize long-term security over complacency. It's not about Trump orchestrating the stars, but synchronicity: the cosmos amplifying real-world tensions to prompt growth.In the article's framing, Europe's "vassal" status to the US echoes this—perhaps the heavens are highlighting the need to break free from possessive dynamics (Four of Pentacles) and embrace more equitable partnerships.
