Astrology and the rocket attack on Israel

 

 

With five blog entries being simultaneously in pipeline, the unexpected Hamas rocket attack on Israel is still portentous enough to merit a few quick words, although too early in the life of this blog. The combination of Hindu astrology and selected ideas from Western Platonism still needs some explaining, not to mention the two fixed stars Regulus and Algol graphically inserted in modern Israel's chart.

As the original Babylonian zodiac instantly made the blogger a believer means that the unfortunate modern Israelite means the same fixation with portions of land as ever in this part of the world, ant typical the West forced the birth of modern Israel in the Sidereal (Babylonian/Hindu) sign of Taurus a sign associated with the Jews' most unfortunate moment in history: escaping bondage in Egypt and not even having reached the promised land before the stupid people started worshipping the Golden Calf. 

The modern Israel born 1947 with Sun in the Ox seems to recall this lapse of reason, and even more so as the known birth time puts the Ox, although strictly speaking in the 8th house of Death (the Holocaust) into close contact with the 9e house of one's sense of the highest good. (During Hellenism the 9th was the house of God and pretty much the same in India, where it was the house of Guru, a spiritual leader as close to a god-man as is possible and similar to Plato's preferred group of "philsopher-kings" living communistically (perfected souls no longer in materialistic bondage and free to order the country in the best possible way). 

The reason the Ox plays into the country's highest good is because of the mutual reception between the accidental lords of the 8th and the 9th. Each in the other's sign binds death and the highest good together but could be seen as a bloodthirsty country as well as a martyr. Rather the former given  the significance of the warrior Mars, as we shall see in a minute.

 It may seem incongruous to have "the Golden Calf" ("mere possessions") in this elevated position (the close co-mingling of Taurus ruler Venus in the 9th house, but coming out of the Holocaust this humble material aspiration may seem natural enough: Taurus naturally belongs the a horoscopes 2nd house of movable possessions (herdsmen and their wealth in the form of livestock).

In order to aspire to "the Golden Calf" a people must be poor indeed and look for a promised piece of land. Unfortunately the West did solve the problems of their colonialism very well and thus it would be a mistake to see this war (as it surely is) as a local conflict, The Mid-Eastern countries are still ghosts, puppets acting out the iniquity of the western world.

While not strong, the conjunction of the very soul (Sun) of modern Israel on the Earth-fixated sign is coupled with Satan's head as Algol has been called. Elevated high in the night sky, it is still so close to the Sun that it appears to have much with modern Israel's destiny to do (traditionally the star and the planet may not be more the one degree apart in the zodiac, but as the head of Taurus is so similar to Satan's head one may be forgiven if relaxing the one degree rule a little. (A post digging deeper into the Taurus/Scorpion axis is under preparation.)

The Dead Sea Scroll fragments seeming to be an astrological depicting of a few persons, notes about the one deemed an evildoer that he was born in the "foot of Taurus" which is just as Israel's current chart happens to have it. From there, one might speculate whether Satan as the Accuser in the book of Job should have the same meaning. This country will be tried by God who is as of 1947 not yet certain if the people were the chosen ones... Modern Israel will have its soul tried...

Although no speaker of Hebrew, the counter-weight to Algol, the royal star Regulus stands fittingly in the Leo - king of the animal souls (if not yet king of the human kingdom), together with the warrior Mars, that is ARI-EL, the Lord is a warlike Lion. So Algol will test Israel and ask if this is what the country stands for in this day and age...

The Rocket Attack on Israel

An Israeli newspaper has data for the start of this war: approx 6:30 (GMT 3:30 + 3) in the morning the first barrage of rockets appeared. Virgo rising with its ruler Mercury and the Sun might seem harmless enough, but as far as transits go there might be another configuration to ponder.

The time of the attack as the Palestinian's highest good (house 9) reveals an all but forgotten tenet regarding the temporary or accidental 9th ruler: Venus can be both av warrior-like planet and a loving temptress. When rising just before the Sun she taks on her warlike aspect ...

The soul group who constitute today's Israelites is offered the opportunity by their God to prove they believe in the warlike force, too (se national chart above). As the ancient Chinese said: in a single operation Nature at once realizes a dozen thoughts.

Those familiar with astrological symbolism may thus see that Venus as the local Dharma ruler, WAR at this time is part of the highest good, both for HAMAS and Israel. Both get what they seek. The 5th house stands for an individual's already prepared part of the Universal Order, but as a part of the whole this portion is now called karma (at least if the prepared plan is acted on). 

Here the Grim Reaper (Saturn) rules, but from a weak position: the 6th house of misfortunes and enemies. Both parties had it coming? 

The Leo/Water Bearer axis is a mighty moment to show one belongs Humanity and not merely acts like a Head of the animal kingdom.
