Syria, Merkel, Germany and astrology

Battle of the Sea Gods by Mantegna, thanks to Wiki Commons

No way to look away and not consider the charts involved in the tragedy of refugees in Europe today...What is in the charts? You'll see Neptune in the charts of Germany and Merkel, while Uranus and Pluto hit the chart of January 1, 1925 (Syria). And coincidence, or not: Neptune is the planet of 'no borders, no limits' and Uranus-Pluto means intense tension and dramatic change.

SYRIA
The Syrian Federation became the State of Syria in 1 January 1925, says Wikipedia. Have a look at the chart of that moment:

Sun, Progressed Sun, Ascendant, Progressed Midheaven and MC all have a position between the 10th and 16th degree of the Capital Signs. Those are exactly the degrees that were and will be hit by Uranus and Pluto. These two planets were 90 degrees apart (square) since 2011 and symbolized the unrest, extreme tension and dramatic change in the world right now. Also, the Progressed Sun of Syria's chart will be inconjunct Saturn within a year from now. This is a signal of coming decline. Right now there is migration from Syria to Europe. The people wants to move to Germany, where they expect to get a better life than in any of the countries that they walked or travelled through on the way to the country of Mrs Merkel, who recently sort of invited the refugees but she forgot to bring them 'home'. Progressed Ascendant near Mercury (planet of transportation) perhaps illustrates the situation.

Charts of people who depend upon the State or the leader of the nation have to be considered in the light of the charts of the nation or the leader of the nation. The bad and hard aspects in that chart will mirror nasty situation and conditions, more than they do in times of peace and harmony. There is more...

Transit Pluto opposition the Progressed Moon of the chart above reflects intense emotions and the people in problems, while transit Saturn inconjunct progressed Mercury seems completely in line with the difficult voyage with so many lost lives and what people left behind when they said goodbye to there home land.

Meanwhile, the area is at war, people die and suffer, and there is no help on the way. That is how migration started in 376, too, also with Neptune in early Pisces (see my site Astromarkt: http://www.astromarkt.net/astrology_to_study-html/neptune-in-pisces-html/)

Considering the chart above, it doesn't look like there will be a solution for Syria, not soon enough to stop the migration. Now how about Germany?

GERMANY

The chart of Germany (United Germany, October 3, 1990, Berlin, zero hours) has transit Neptune in Pisces inconjunct the natal Sun in Libra. That is exactly the kind of aspect that makes it hard to deal with all the Neptunic things such as refugees, the sea, idealism, beliefs and the media. This aspect demands clarity, openness and open eyes when there is little balance and too much confusion. It is har to do. The chart of the leader of the nation is in line with that.

MERKEL

As Angela Merkel's Progressed Sun is in the 24th of Virgo, quindecile (165d) transit Neptune, there will be a strong focus (if not obsession) with the issue of Sun-Neptune that is in the nation's chart as well. Here is her chart:

In her natal chart Neptune is on the MC and square the Sun (just like in the chart of Obama) to show you that certain ideals, ideologies and beliefs will be of utmost importance in her life and connected to her career. Now Mrs Merkel's name sounds all over the Budapest' railway station. Being an idol that way, may not have been her purpose.

It is a complex situation and apparently, the political leaders can't deal with it. So the people who lost their homes and didn't see any future, made the choice to start walking to an unknown but peaceful future and to demand access to the nation that seems to have the best economic and cultural cards.

Uranus-Pluto and Neptune in Pisces, symbols of revolution and change, did there job. All that astrologers can do, is signal the aspects and point at the indications of dramatic change. There is no astrological solution, but there is some hope.

The Uranus-Pluto square is fading away slowly, and Neptune in Pisces is moving on. Someday, all charts have changed and I hope it will be in a good way. There are hard aspects always, but these two astrological indications were present in revolutionary times of religious wars and migration in the past and are now losing there importance. But, like I said on Astromarkt:

Eventually, any hard aspect between Uranus and Pluto issues the value and problem of change, and the price to pay for it.

Some of us had to pay a lot...

Edward Snowden's chart today

Edward Snowden, says an official, has blood on his hands. British and American spies had to be ‘rescued’ because Snowden handed over millions of files. He says that he did that to show that the West is violating human rights by spying civilians. He told us all what we already suspected: Big Brother Is Watching Us. It is been 1984 and he proved it. That makes him a hero in the eyes of millions. Later he fled to Russia (via China), a country where journalists are being murdered if they dare to criticize the leader, Vladimir Putin. Though he was a candidate for the Nobel Prize and has many fans and followers, he also made strong and powerful enemies. He gave away classified documents. Those documents were hacked (by Russia and China) and it is said that this enabled possible enemies to hurt the West (see http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/National/article1568673.ece).

So, we have a controversial whistleblower.

Whistleblowers are activists revealing secrets or scandals.

The chart of Snowden is in line with that. It is the chart of an activist (Mars OOB rising before the Sun). He may be involved in scandals (Sun opposition Neptune), too.

Here is the chart with transits and progressions for now, June 14, 2015:

Today we see:

1. transit Pholus square his progressed Midheaven (a nasty turning or trigger point)

2. the progressed Sun sextile Chiron (shows ‘hurt’)

3. the progressed Sun in the final degree of Cancer. Final degrees of a sign are like the clock pointing at 5 minutes to 12: the moment that live and life style is due to change. His life already changed in a big way in this astrological period of change.

NATAL CHART

The chart of Snowden is that of a Gemini with a strong personality (Moon in Scorpio*). The OOB Mars rising before the Sun tells us about a person who is first of all an activist, at any possible level. The Mercury-Uranus opposition on the chart’s horizon mirrors the dawning of a mental controversy and differences of opinion. This is an important aspect in the chart, as Uranus is the ruler of Midheaven and Mercury is the ruler of the Ascendant. The rulers of the corner stones of the chart are in conflict with each other, demonstrating the importance of freedom of thinking and freedom of speech .

Sun-Neptune oppositions may be day dreaming idealists and sometimes escapists (http://www.cafeastrology.com/natal/sunneptuneaspects.html ) The chart of Snowden has Sun opposition Neptune. Well, he actually escaped…

The aspects of the Sun with Neptune and Pluto enables discretion and secrecy, while Sun opposite Neptune raises the issue of identity and possible ‘double life’.

The chart shows an activist with a strong and controversial opinion, maybe not all too clear about himself. In fact, that is what he is.

More on the chart of Snowden on Astropost: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2013/06/view-on-astro-chart-of-edward-snowden.html

ALIENATION

Minor aspects, major impact, I use to say. In Snowden’s chart the Sun is 157.5 degrees from Uranus (a sesquisquare + half semi square). The Sun-Uranus aspect is about alienation (estrangement) and being an outsider or stranger in your own world. In Russia, he is. In the USA, he was. The fact that to many persons in his own country he is a traitor and in Russia he is a stranger in exile matches with the Sun-Uranus minor aspect. You wouldn’t (and apparently the State of the USA couldn’t) immediately see that he was ‘different’, but he was and he is.

HERO?

It may depend on your political position how you see Edward Snowden. Is he a spie and traitor? Is he a hero? The chart doesn’t answer. The chart just shows us that there is a controversy regarding his person, an activist pur sang, and the question whether he is a hero or not, mirrored by Sun opposition Neptune. Maybe he knows the answer to the Sun-Neptune question:

“Am I who I think that I am, or am I who other’s think what I am?”

Second chance posts part 4: Mercury-Neptune and Friedmans

Looking back at earlier posts I noticed that some of them just haven't been noticed, yet. Today these posts get another chance. Of course, not without editing them.

Today's second chance post is about 'Capturing the Friedmans', a documentary about a peculiar child's abuse case.

CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS

Received 10/04/2007 22:05

Capturing the Friedmans, is a documentary that I saw yesterday. Arnold Friedman (born 20th March 1931, see the documentary about his birthday and the stone on his grave) and his son Jesse were convicted in a very peculiair childs'abuse case.

Why peculiar?

Hypnotism by psychologers and a very influencing method of interrogation by the police contributed to a pandemonium of tales about sex orgies after the day in 1984 that the police found child pornography in the house of Arnold Friedman.

His son Jesse was suppposed to be assisting his father in the evil.

But:

There was no fysical evidence at all and some of the statements were clearly false! Still, they were convicted after pleading guilty in order to prevent a sentence of life in prison. Later, Arnold Friedman killed himself in jail. He presumably killed himself, so that his son would get a sum of money to start all over again when he got out of jail and the best part of his life was over).

The astrology

a. the transits and progressions

- In 1995, the year of the death of Arnold Friedman, Solar Arc Mars opposed his natal Sun. It is the symbol of injury.
- In 1984, transit Neptune squared Arnold Friedman's natal Sun. That is an indication of being seen in a negative light. As soon as people turn into suspects, Neptune is there. Neptune is also there when there are mysteries, when the media is involved (too much) and when certain things remain unsolved. Neptune is the symbol of mist.

'Capturing the Friedmans' was a very interesting movie that leaves you wondering. It might be caused by the ambiguous attitude of the film maker, who still refuses to tell the audience whether he considers the Friedmans' guilty or not. But anyway...thanks to that movie I have a DOB.

b. natal chart

Arnold Friedman's chart has a prominent Sun in the final degree of Pisces, close to Zero Aries and trine Mars. Saturn is the 'oriental planet' (the first outer planet rising before the Sun). This Saturn is in Capricorn and afflicted. He was a conformist in the first place (a tiny man with hugh glasses). He was a valued teacher before 1984.

Now look at the most narrow aspect in his chart. That is Mercury inconjunct Neptune. This immediately reminded me of the chart of Patrick Dils (see post on that case) with the same aspect. Mercury inconjunct Neptune is very confusing...

Jess, the son of Arnold, is free (after 16 years. In 2013 he was again found 100% guilty by the Nassau Country District Attorney (see http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/jesse-friedman-100-guilty-child-abuse-article-1.1380786 )

CONCLUSION
One the West Memphis three had Mercury exactly conjunct Neptune (see: http://astropost.blogspot.com/2011/08/suspicious-aspects-re-west-memphis.html )
Mercury - Neptune: doubts about statements, negative communications, a suspicious aspect.

Netherlands in the World Cup 2014

Yesterday, the Netherlands won the match against Costa Rica by means of penalty. At the moment of the official end of the second half, the Descendant of the that moment and place pointed at the Pluto of Louis van Gaal, indicating stress. But, it was a transit Sun - Jupiter day, so he won. Now what about Netherlands-Argentina? The chart of the official final moment on July 9, 2014 compared with the positions of the coaches (Scorpio Alejandro Sabella and Leo Louis van Gaal) shows Sabella's Jupiter square MC while it is Saturn semi sextile MC for Van Gaal on a transit Sun - Neptune day. Also transit Jupiter is trine Sabella's progressed Venus (signaling party time). So, I am not optimistic for the Netherlands. However, this method is experimental and Van Gaal's transits of Uranus surprised us and gave him the title 'Genius' (very well in line with Uranus). So don't bet your money on it! And if you'd like another result: there are many many predictions, even by animals. I do, because I hope that the team of Van Gaal wins (sorry, Argentinos!)

Tim Cook: Sun conjunct Neptune

Kind of interesting that the CEO of Apple is a man with Sun conjunct Neptune in his natal chart. This aspect signals discretion, 'double lives', a romantic, fantastic or idealistic view of the world and being either a dreamer or a visionary person. It seems that his sexual orientation is a secret. Now that transit Uranus is square his Mars and transit Saturn square his progressed Venus there was a moment of silence after a CNBC host mentioning Cook 'being gay'. Uranus-Mars upsets, Saturn-Venus is painful. But in fact: we still don't really know. That is Sun-Neptunic with a sauce of Scorpio!

Bright sides of bad transits/progressions: Sun-Neptune

You know the song ‘Bright side of life’? If you don’t, here is the song and text (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2UP86bciVA ). Sing along while reading this post! It is summer time (well, almost!). The picture above is 'Fallen star' by

Witold Pruszkowski (1846–1896

This post is one of a series of posts about the bright sides of nasty aspects (but only when you look at it like if you were the devil's advocate). Of course, I don’t want to laugh at heavy transits. I wouldn’t dare! Too many of them have passed in my life and most of them were rather unpleasant! It is no wonder that many of us fear the transits and progressions of Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It is, because they use to mirror periods of set backs, shocks, confusion and stress. But there ARE always bright sides, tiny little insignificant sparks of light, fallen stars that may hit you when you are down. I always use music in such periods. So I included a suggested YouTube video, in every post.

Use it for transits and progressions, just to consider the bright sides. What have you learned, gained or experienced in those nasty periods?

The label for the list is ‘Bright sides’. You find that label on the (b)right side of Astropost.

Sun-Neptune

At least your closet is open now and all nightmares came out while you were on the run like in some kind of a B-movie, looking over your shoulder and wondering where to go, ending up in the witches’ house. With Sun – Neptune your dreams AND nightmares may come true, so be prepared for miracles, ghosts, fake persons and (this is for the VIPs among us) the media on the look out for a gossip story. It is a wonderful world, with Sun-Neptune! A world of visions, secrets to conceal, paranormal experiences and media attention (or just everybody talking about you).

Who had such an experience and what happened? Bernard Frank had progressed Sun square Neptune when Mark Gould pretended to be a Nazi and thus got all kind of information that exposed Frank (see: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/02/sun-neptune-bernhard-frank-and-mark.html )

You will probably like this song now. It’s a wonderful world…
