Astrodirections for Crimean Crisis D.H. Van den Berghe
In this article ar ticle we take a look at the current Crimean Crisis, Crisis, which has put Ukraine and Russia on the brink of war. war. The astrodirections technique, which I proposed proposed in an article ar ticle several years years ago, is ideally suited for for this kind of situations involving involving several several countries. You can get the article here: http://fourpillars.net/astrodirections.php http://fourpillars.net/astrodirections.php and and find out how I used it to make forecasts for the Eurozone crisis. Greece and Euro currency indeed found found a bottom bottom just after March 2012, an d the Greek stock market ha s already more than doubled since. With astrodirections we do the opposite as in astrocartography. astrocartography. Astrocartography projects the planets unto th e world map, while in Astr odirections odirections we take specific specific locations (need at least two) and pr oject oject them directly into the horoscope. horoscope. This gives us new points points in the horoscope horoscope that can be analyzed with the classic astrological techniques like aspects and tran sits. It shows direction based relationships that cannot be seen with any other method. So, what does it tell us for Crimea right now? We will use its capital city Sevastopol Sevastopol as the place of reference. This is what we get using the great cir cle (GC) lines (1=Russia, 2=Ukraine, 3=USA, 4=EU/NATO, 4=EU/NATO, 5=China): 5=China ):
Taking a more m ore detailed look: look:
Russia(1) is sitting straight at Pluto (power) (power) in Capricorn. Ukraine(2) is in Sagittarius, a nd its ruler Jupiter is in opposition opposition with Pluto. So, Ukraine literally finds itself opposed by Russia right now. The EU(4) and NATO (both headquartered in Brussels), are squaring off with this situation. We see the EU conjunct conjunct with Mars in Libra. They will talk about reacting to the situation, but can they do anything? anything? Mars is considered weak weak in Libra and it is al so going going retrograde right now. I think that means that militar y action action from the EU/NATO side is very unlikely or will be only weak weak symbolic symbolic action. They Th ey will try some balancing act (~Libra ). The USA(3) is in Scorpio(~secrets), Scorpio(~secrets), and they appear to be on the side of Ukraine and EU, but is t hat so? They are at a very close 60 degree angle to Moscow, and Pluto is held by Moscow. China(5) sits r ight at Neptune in Pisces. They will likely stay far away from the problem and play the role of a chameleon. Why would the USA secretly side with Russia? Well, the EU already has a bigger population than the USA. If it expands even further by raking in Ukraine, t hen the USA risks becoming a smaller player player on the th e world scene, well behind behind China and an enlarged EU. They probably don't want Russia to grow too strong either, but to keep Russia and the EU at odds with each other could be just right from their perspective. perspective. More on the hidden role of China further down, let's first take a look at the situation for 30 March, the day when Crimea is planning for a referendum about about its future:
On 30th March there t here will be a New Moon right on Uranus in Aries. If the r eferendum takes place, then you can be quite sure that the Crimeans will vote for for more independence (~Uranus). The EU/NATO will probably try to oppose such a referendum, as Libra opposes Aries, but will they be able to stop it from being held? That's doubtful doubtful with Mars still going retrograde. Ukraine (in Sagittarius) is forming a close trine with Uranus, which could mean that th ey will have no other choice and accept independence of of Crimea in exchange for getting their closer closer ties with the EU. That's probably probably the bargain that Russia is aiming for. What hidden role will China play? We can look at the chart using the r humb lines (RH) for for that. While the gr eat circle (GC) directions show us the outer appearance and events, the r humb line technique can r eveal something about about the less obvious dynamics that play behind the screens. Here is the chart for 30 th March:
The RH (rhumb line) positions only differ significantly for locations that are far away from the place of reference. Here we see that China is at 4 degree Aries from the RH perspective. perspective. So, it is right there th ere secretly backing backing more independence for Crimea and opposing opposing EU on the issue. Let's not forget that China is also trying to recover recover “lost ground” with Taiwan and some strategic islands i t disputes with Japan, so it finds i tself in the same boat as Russia on that point. Its case to reclaim Taiwan will become become stronger if Russia can regain Crimea in some way or other. China may also back the type type of arrangement t hat was used for them to r egain Hong Kong, Kong, with a kind of slow handover handover within a very long long term agreement for Crimea. The EU will again not be able to do much. If Scotland and perhaps also Catalonia can hold referendums about independence this year, then why should Crimea not be allowed to decide about its own future? It would make Europe look very undemocratic and on double standards if they object to it. The USA is in Virgo here. They may be very vocal not to disappoint Europe and Ukraine, but deep down they will be very pragmatic about the case.
