Predictions: 22 December 2015 - 21 March 2016 !

At the dawn of the last quadrant for this year, I must point out a few observations about the period that has started on 22nd December 2015 and will last until 21st of March 2016.

22 December 2015 Ingres chart for Moscow

For larger perimeter of the East Europe, Middle East and Eastern Africa, in the ingress chart Mars is positioned high in the sky, right at the Medium Coeli. It has Sextile with the Sun, but a really bad square with Mercury and Pluto.

What does it mean?

Every country's government with it's capital placed on the longitude beginning with 18 degrees east, up to 40 degrees east, will face big problems. Every kind of pressure. There will be deaths in the ruling circles, assassinations or at least attempts for such activities. Possible war/rebel outbreaks against governments if there are such conditions. 

Mars is in Libra, so particularly vulnerable are capital cities ruled by Libra or countries in general ruled by Libra, such as Vienna and Austria, than Belgrade, Sofia (I'm not sure about Ukraine and Kiev), that have at least Mars in 10th, if not in the MC.

Look at the red line (I've done it manually, in Paint) on all three maps. 

Red vertical line is the longitude (Meridian) of 39 degrees, the Medium Coeli, where Mars is having it's most striking influence. Diagonal lines are territories affected as Mars is in their 10th house.

The most critical influences will appear in the area of 30 to 40 degrees longitude. I expect there to be the worst of this situation. As of Europe, closest to the 39th degree, where Mars is exact in MC, I find Moscow. So, I fear of possible attacks over there, similar as those in Paris, having in mind Russia's greater involvement in the war in Syria. Kiev and Ukraine will face possible crisis, even a possible dissolvement with the eastern regions is in sight. 

 Middle East, again a barrel of gunpowder

Like it has not enough problems, now Middle East will face even more. There is no need to emphasize that most of the capitals over there are near 39th degree. I expect war in Syria to go worse in the casualties and even a beginning of a ground operations of the great countries against ISIS. No need to point out that the fights in Turkey between Kurd's and government official forces can escalate. Even a civil war is possible. Egypt, as country Libra, can get in trouble with nation ruled by Mars, such as Israel. Cairo is a potential target of terrorists, at least.  All mentioned above, counts here also.

In Africa, I find Eritrea's capital Asmara and Ethiopian, Addis Ababa with Mars on their's MC. Possible activation of their conflict, as Ethiopia still holds the region Badme. Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique are to be cautious. Specially South Africa, as nation Libra. I point out Libya, also a nation Libra, as there the conflicts between fractions never actually ceased after Qaddafi's fall. 

Last quadrant for Rome, capital of Italy

As Mars leaves 10th house and the tension of violence decreases, the afflicted Pluto and Mercury enter 2nd house. As in Western Europe. Potential financial recession, but the governments won't fall because there is Jupiter now on the Medium Coeli to hold them. Afflicted Saturn is on the Ascendant or in the 1st house - poverty, misery, apathy, discontent of the people. Rome and Berlin are on the same line, but Merkel and Renzi won't fall. That can cause closing of the borders both for refugees and immigrants, shifting the pressure to the countries along the immigrant route, most likely at the Balkans. France, Britain, Portugal and Spain can face financial troubles, but they will bear.

Not with the brightest predictions, but alas, I just try to recognize what has Sky written for us. Hope all this is gonna help somebody...

Uranus in Aries: A little analysis - Part Two

On 30th September Russia began attacking targets of ISIS in Syria, entering for the first time in warfare activities since the break of the Soviet Union. A few days ago, they launched 26 cruise missiles from Caspian Sea, targeting infrastructure of so-called Islamic State (IS). Astrologically, it was only a matter of time when it would happen. Also, as I researched in the Part One, always after Uranus transiting Aries, comes it's transit in Taurus, where the biggest ruining and devastation could be done. NATO is preparing a response, saying they would "defend" themselves...

We, the people, are no fools. We understand everything, and we are enough intelligent to disclose the "big picture", at least for ourselves. We know that every war that is fought, or at least 90% of the wars are because of resources. Who controls the resources has the power. Who controls the routes, has the power. It has been like that and it is so now.

In the past few years, Europe has become very dependent of Russian gas and oil, which, to say honestly, is cheap and has all the infrastructure. In contrast to that, Russia has made enormous income from it, one of the basis of their economical rebirth. The average's people standard rose. Who lived in Moscow, was witness of a switch in the average salary, from 100 dollars, to 2,3 or 4 thousand dollars per month. Not to talk about the companies. So, it was West on the move.

The main route for Russian gas was Ukraine, the pipes pass through its lands. Janukovich was no good, but his violent deposition was evident, although he resigned and said would organize new elections. It was the pretext for Russian blockade and sanctions. But, Europe still cannot replace the supplies of resources it's getting from Russia.

Syria was always traditional partner of USSR. And now of Russia. Why? Syria is natural territorial obstacle for Saudi Arabia's gas to reach Europe. That way it would become less dependent of the Russian one. (Who controls the routes, has the power!). So, in one way or another, "Arab Spring" was either created, or supported. Libya, full with oil, fell. Egypt, with the Suez Canal, was important transport spot. But now, the most important point was Syria, where Saudi gas would transit on it's European journey. So, I don't believe that the Syrian Rebels, trained in the Western countries and supported by them, are fighting for democracy, nor civil rights. I don't believe also that Russians care so much if al-Assad is still legally elected president or not. Everything is about power. That's why Syria is so important.

And why is Russia so important? It's up north, it's cold and has 8 months' winter. Because 150 million people own 1/4 of world's resources. Even if it's 1/8, or 1/16, it's huge. Most are still intact, while the other 3/4 are in fast utilization by the rest of 6 billion and 750 million inhabitants of the earth. Who has the resources, has the power, the lesson from history.

Syria is an important brick in Russian power-wall. What is going to happen? Read in Part Three.

Uranus in Aries: A history lesson. What next?

We can all agree that Uranus entering Aries means that the world as we know it won't be the same anymore. History verifies that. And history teaches us about the future.

Uranus entered Aries in 2010. Googling this subject, tons of posts and analyses emerged, made by numerous astrologers. Some precise, some less precise, but they all agree that it causes unrest, turmoil, conflicts and wars. I dwelled on the subject a few sleepless nights, and it turned out that there are some points that need to be revealed.

Once in a century Uranus enters Aries. And the wheel is set in motion. In this one, it gave the world the "Arab Spring", where countries from North Africa to Turkey, all in line had big turmoils, revolutions, overthrowing of governments, even wars, such as in Libya and Syria. Now, with Syria, even the world is having a problem.

For the last century, astrologers are pointing that it caused the big economic crisis from 1930's, and rise to power of a destructive force, such as Hitler's Nazi Party. Ok. Let's go on.

For XIX Uranus enters Aries in 1843. Astrologers point the big revolutions that occurred throughout Europe in 1848. Ok again. Usually the analysis stop here, with the point made, but we have computers today, with wonderful programs for astrology. Don't need ephemeris and manual calculations to set the time machine,  yes? Now it's easy. So, going further.

Seven Years' War, from 1756 to 1763, found Uranus entering Aries in 1760. It was the first actual war fought on the entire globe, with more than 1 million casualties, almost 150 years before the "actual" World War I. Than in 1677 it's the Franco-Dutch war, and we see it culminating with the clash of two big nations and different religions, the Turkish invasion in Austria, which ended with Turkish defeat at the Battle of Vienna in 1683, taking more than 400 000 participants and having more than 100 000 casualties. 

In 14th century it enters Aries in 1342, and four years latter, in 1346, the Black Death emerged, the most devastating pandemics of plague in human history, killing around 200 000 people, or one third of Europe's population, before it's end in 1353. Now Uranus was not alone, but conjoint with Pluto, giving the mass-death moment. It also marks the beginning of the 100 years' war Between France and England.

Also, Saladin's rise to power was marked with period of Uranus transiting in Aries in 12th century. 

In 11th it was popes' (Urban II) speech in Clermont 1095 and call for liberation of Gods Grave in Jerusalem, that set in motion the Crusades, and also the First Crusade in 1096-99.

Of course, there are many, many more conflicts that were held in other periods, not necessarily connected with an Uranus transit, or other such as when Uranus was in Leo, with French Revolution, killing the King and paving the road for Napoleon (France is nation Leo, Napoleon was also Leo), or the American Civil War, when Uranus was in Gemini (USA being a nation Gemini). Analogies are a lot and can be interpreted either way. Of course, there are a few other big planets to consider, such as Pluto and Saturn, and Mars, of course, when destruction is in question.

We can draw one conclusion though: Aries is a sign that agitates all the planet's nature, giving it new dimension, a rebirth. After the confusion and the ending from the Pisces, new power is rising. In our case, with the Uranus, we are talking about an unpredictable force, sometimes with destructive powers, that can emerge with a blink of an eye. Uranus being ruler of Aquarius - it's never about the evil, it is always about some humane reason, for a greater cause that shall be seen in the near or far future. You will ask me what kind of humane reason can there be in war? Well, spilling the bad blood? Cutting off the metastatic arm before it reaches the whole body? It hurts in the beginning, but it bypasses life.

It's always something about some Aries nation, such as Great Britain or Germany. And Russia (also Poland, Sweden), as Uranus is it's ruler.  Afterwards they either flourish, such as Great Britain and Prussia after Seven Years' War, or there is destruction, as of Germany in WW II (the most of which was done by the Russians-Uranus, in Germany-the Aries!). And it is always something about the Middle East: Jerusalem, Israel, Lebanon or Syria in question (all influenced by Aries), such as the Crusades, Saladin's great state, rise and fall of the Turks. Today, it's all about Syria.

And, it all starts in Aries. But the true destructive force comes to power in most of the cases when Uranus reaches Taurus. Mundanely, Taurus means lands, plains, grain, food, resources. But that is my goal for the next post.

p.s. Look for the logics: Syria being Aries, and more than 80% of the refugees want to settle in Germany - Aries. Coincidence? Think so? Read my opinion in Part Two.
