NewsScope for June 7, 1999

The Gift of the Goddess (Part II)
Following fast-paced negotiations between American,
Russian, Finnish, and Yugoslavian diplomats, the military
conflict in the Balkans reached a stunning turn-around last
week. The international community breathed a collective
sigh of relief in anticipation of near universal acceptance of
NATO’s five point peace plan.
Astrologically, the cessation of hostilities and peace
agreement arrived precisely as Mars turned direct in the
diplomatic sign of Libra. Mars in Libra naturally fosters
negotiations, but the celestial location of Mars at its
stationary point aligned with the extremely favorable
first-magnitude star known as Spica. Regular NewsScope
readers were assessed of the likely timing and benefits
associated with this Mars-Spica combination two weeks
ago.
To be sure, many difficulties lie ahead, but the long term
benefits to the global community are substantial. For the
first time since World War II German military forces were
deployed, and not to foment German nationalism but
international cooperation. The benefits of Mars-Spica were
not isolated to the European theater, but represented a
cosmic wave of reconciliation.
In South Africa Nelson Mandela guided a successful
election process, securing the transition from apartheid to a
multi-racial culture. Israeli troops withdrew from South
Lebanon, indicating for the first time that a settlement with
Syria is possible and on track. Talks began between South
and North Korea for the first time in five years. Spica, as
the cosmic symbol for the Goddess in all her splendor and
magnificence, was in good form last week.
NATO and the Refugees
Ultimately, and to the surprise of Washington’s talking
heads, NATO’s air campaign proved to be a successful
strategy, which reached a climactic turning point last week
when 50,000 ground troops were finally stationed in the
region. Displaying total control over the air space, NATO
demonstrated the latest technology in surgical bombing
tactics, marred only by a several widely reported civilian
casualties. Bombing was the easy part; now comes phase
two where the refugees must be safely returned to Kosovo.
NATO’s horoscope (April 4, 1949; 4:52 pm; Washington
D.C.) reflects the pending difficulties with the
humanitarian crisis. NATO’s Ceres-Pluto conjunction in
Leo is the planetary symbolism associated with masses of
needy people, the refugees. Saturn by transit is now
forming an exact square to NATO’s Ceres, reflecting the
immediate need for a structured plan to resolve the
situation.
Over the six weeks transiting Saturn and Uranus are
forming a square, a tense configuration historically
associated with international tensions. This Saturn-Uranus
aspect hits NATO’s Ceres-Pluto conjunction exactly,
indicating that the refugee situation will be a sticking point
for some time to come. The Saturn-Uranus square also hits
key planets in the horoscopes of Russia, the United States,
and the United Nations.
Expect the U.S. to maintain a forceful, unrelenting posture
as both transiting Mars and Jupiter are heading for the U.S.
Pluto. Jupiter squares the U.S. Pluto on June 14, and Mars
follows with its own square on June 26. These can be
arrogant, over-zealous contacts. Diplomatically, Secretary
of Defense Cohen set the proper tone of humility in victory
by focusing on the plight of the refugees. This American
Warrior’s credo was first established by General
MacArthur in Japan.
Mirjana Markovic, Serbia’s Dragon Lady
Slobodan Milosevic has only one close friend and
companion in the world, his wife Mirjana Markovic. Many
observers say that she is the power behind the throne, that
her will and forcefulness is what urges the Yugoslavian
President onward. Markovic is also renown for penning a
newspaper column popularly referred to as “The
Horoscope.”
Mira Markovic was born a on July 10, 1942 (time
unknown) and reigns as matriarch of the most famous
dysfunctional family in Europe. Her Moon and four other
planets are in intellectual, media-savvy Gemini, so she
naturally gravitated toward writing, professorship, and
owning Belgrade’s most powerful newspapers and
television stations.
With her Mercury, the ruler of writing and
communications, squaring Neptune, Markovic is
susceptible to faulty logic and wishful thinking. This
combination also encourages reliance on psychic or
paranormal experiences. Her column dubbed The
Horoscope is not astrology-based, but makes chatty
complaints about Milosevic’s foes who inevitably
disappear or are abruptly removed from office. Is this being
psychic, or nefarious?
Markovic has a Mars-Chiron conjunction in Leo, which
resonates strongly with Serbia’s Mars in Leo square
Chiron. This combination reflects her immense pride in
personal strength, and woundedness over weakness for
which she over-compensates. Her unrealistic dreams and
aspirations for a greater Serbia have now collapsed under
the influence of the transiting Saturn-Uranus square. Her
personal authority is also being undermined and essentially
destroyed now as transiting Pluto over the next few months
opposes her Saturn.
