NATO Shakes up the Geopolitical Chessboard
Last Friday the United Nations Security Council soundly
rejected a Russian resolution demanding an immediate end
to NATO air strikes in Yugoslavia. Conservative Russian
strategists worry that NATO, which was originally created
to withstand the Soviet bloc, has a grand plan aimed at
world domination.
Astrologically, the these winds of change are represented
by the tense confrontation between Saturn and Neptune,
and the rapidly approaching square between Saturn and
Uranus. Neptune in Aquarius represents the hope and
vision (Neptune) for an equitable system of international
relationships (Aquarius). Saturn might be seen as the
enforcement agency, and the circumstances testing the
international forces shaping the established order.
The United Nations wilted under the challenge of Saturn
and Neptune last year (as these two planets were directly
linked to the U.N. Sun). Unable to intervene in the Rwanda
or Bosnian genocidal massacres, the United Nations proved
itself to be too slow and too late to be effective during
massive human rights violations. The United States
co-opted the U.N. by not paying its $1.2 billion in back
dues, and achieving its geopolitical objectives through the
more pliable NATO alliance.
Saturn and Neptune complete their third and final square
on April 6 by which time the crisis in Yugoslavia should
reach a dramatic turning point. Saturn’s 30 year cycle in
early Taurus has traditionally awakened America’s war
machine because of its entry into the U.S. seventh house of
Open Enemies. The additional factor of nebulous Neptune
makes the strategic ends confusing and uncertain, and
harkens back to Vietnam.
Saturn and Uranus Collide
The next outer planet confrontation is between Saturn and
Uranus, which reaches its first of three squares on July 18,
1999. The zodiacal location where these two planets meet
happens to hit key points in the horoscopes of the United
States, Russia, and China.
The Russian horoscope (November 8, 1917; 2:12 am in
Petrograd) is set for the Bolshevik Revolution. The collapse
of the Soviet Union in 1991 ends the Soviet Union
horoscope set for 1922, but does not alter the creation of
the first stable Russian government following the
overthrow of the Czarist monarchy.
Russia’s chart features a dynamic configuration between
the Sun in Scorpio, Saturn in Leo and Uranus in Aquarius.
These three points are on target for the pending
Saturn-Uranus square, indicating that Russia is due for
some major reconstruction. The Bolshevik Revolution
occurred one Uranus cycle ago, and its current weakened
state resonates with the weakened state of the government
just prior to Lenin’s rise.
One Uranus cycle ago the United States entered World War
I, a war triggered by trouble in Serbia. Simultaneously the
U.S. experienced a staggering flu epidemic. Some
observers cite German biological warfare as the source of
the lethal influenza virus. This viral invasion happened just
as Uranus was entering the U.S. fourth house of domestic
affairs. By this July Uranus will once again be entering the
U.S. fourth house.
Slobodan Milosevic, The Wounded Master
Slobodan Milosevic, the child of a Christian Orthodox
priest, maintained fierce resistance through last week’s
NATO bombings. As the center of the political cyclone
sweeping through the global village, Milosevic closed
down all opposition media and grew in strength as the hope
and personification of Serbian nationalism.
Milosevic was born with both his Sun, Moon and Mercury
in proud, narcissistic Leo (on August 20, 1941). His Sun
and Mercury are modulated and challenged by a dynamic
Saturn-Uranus conjunction. When both the Sun and
Mercury are under this kind of planetary stress, the worst
megalomaniacal qualities of Leo can emerge. The Sun and
Mercury in Leo square Saturn demonstrates mental
stubbornness and fixations as a Lord-and-Master
personality, while the square to Uranus makes him
unpredictable and uncontrollable.
Milosevic’s powerful survival instinct can be seen in his
Moon-Pluto-Chiron triple conjunction. Before embarking
on his political path, Milosevic pursued a career in
psychiatry, and this triple conjunction gives both an interest
in the deepest motivations and wounds of the psyche, as
well as a tendency to fall into its obsessions.
Chiron-Pluto-Moon gives a personal identification with
generational influences, especially those derived from
ethnic origins, and the feeling of being wounded due to the
ancient conflicts. Hitler had a similar natal configuration
with his Capricorn Moon opposite Chiron and inconjunct
Pluto.
Chiron and Pluto form a conjunction about every 60 years.
At the time of this current crisis, transiting Saturn and
Neptune are activating Milosevic’s Moon-Pluto-Chiron. At
the same time transiting Chiron and Pluto are beginning to
approach their first conjunction since Milosevic’s era. They
will be exactly conjunct on December 31, 1999.
* An unconfirmed birth time of 10 pm would place his
Moon-Pluto-Chiron squaring a Taurus Ascendant. Reader
