Clutching at straws in the intractable confrontation with Iran, with Trump sounding increasingly desperate and the Iranians stronger than before with the Strait of Hormuz forever behind their winning strategy: two separate astrothoughts.
One is that this weekend through mid-August, Neptune at 4 degrees Aries will significantly affect Netanyahu, his relationship with Trump, and Israel.
Working backwards. Israel’s chart will have a disappointing tr Neptune square Venus in Cancer. Netanyahu’s Uranus in Cancer to the same degree will be nervous and agitated. Her relationship chart with Trump has a composite Venus at 4 degrees of Libra, so there is also disappointment between them; with two composite midpoints of Saturn that also cause great uncertainty and suspicion in your relationship.
This Neptunian influence repeats in the spring of 2027 and from the end of the year to the beginning of 2028, if one or both are still standing at that time in their career. With Netanyahu facing a messy career upheaval from August to the end of October this year with Uranus square his Pluto/MC midpoint, he seems less likely to be a major player.
The other idea – oh, sweet irony – is that Trump is likely to end up with a deal clearly inferior to the one the Obama administration reached in 2015. Trump has called it “one of the worst, most one-sided deals the United States has ever entered into” and said, “I have never, ever, in my life seen a deal negotiated as incompetently as our Iran deal.” Hey, raise your own flagpole.
His obsessive antipathy toward Barack Obama, no doubt colored by his inherent racism, his antipathy toward centrist politics—and envy of Obama’s popularity—is exacerbated by their synastry. Obama’s Leo Sol is in conjunction with DT’s 12th The house of Pluto awakens a dark and underground feeling of envy, jealousy and rage in DT. Obama’s Uranus North Node conjunct DT’s Mars Ascendant, which is a recipe for explosive chemistry. As if that weren’t enough, Obama’s Mars in Virgo is also square DT’s Sun, Uranus, and Moon for an angry clash of goals.
Your relationship chart has a somber composite of Saturn trine Pluto, clinging and resentful. Also, an impatient composite Moon opposite Mars square Jupiter conjunct bellicose Antares. And worse yet, composite Neptune opposite Saturn square Uranus, Mercury, and the Sun’s North Node = doubt, suspicion, mistrust, differing agendas, and an almost fanatically uncompromising streak.
The Iran attack took place when Mars square Uranus was exactly conjunct and square the DT/Obama composite midheaven. Which hints that the ill-advised raid may have been, in part, an effort to outdo Obama, and boy, did that ever backfire.
Other probabilities and ends: Trump’s chart transferred to Iran places its rebel Uranus at 7th house of allies and enemies; with an unrealistic Neptune in the 10thth. The combative Antares sits on the relocated Ascendant and the unfortunate Scheat on the IC. Your Progressed Moon moves through the 12th.th house of your letter relocated for almost another year, which is generally not progressive.
The Financial Times has a couple of compelling articles about how Putin and Trump abandoned their heavy handedness in acts of “geopolitical self-harm.”
“Russia’s failure to subdue Ukraine is the most costly failed war in modern history. By intimidating neighbors like Finland, Putin has more than doubled the length of NATO’s border with Russia entirely by his own action.”
‘Likewise, America’s stranglehold on the Middle East has been broken. In very different ways, kyiv and Tehran are showing the world how to topple a colossus.”
“Each is burdening their countries with costs that will persist many years after they have lost power.”
