In astrology the birth chart of an entity such as a person or country is seen to describe the entity. To see how two entities interact it is valuable to compare the two charts. For example, if the Venus from one chart is conjoined the Venus of the second chart, one could say that the two entities have similar romantic attractions or simply it is love at first sight; they will be sympathetic towards each other.

Both the United States and Israel, having been founded in recent times, have good birth charts. When we compare those two charts we see a number of connections but I only want to talk about the few that I consider the most important. You can see how these connection play out in real life (IRL) by just paying attention to the happenings.

The Core of America at #1

The core of America is symbolized by the Venus tightly conjunct Jupiter and those two planets are loosely conjunct the Sun of the US. This triple conjunction, involving the two benefics and the essential planet the Sun, is important to America. One can imagine an astrologer of the time – -such as Ebenezer Sibly — looking at the chart and predicting very fortunate things happening to the new country.

Venus Conjoined at #1

The Israel Venus is conjunct both the Venus and Jupiter of the US and Israel’s Venus is actually on the midpoint on Venus and Jupiter. Thus Israel is strongly connected to the fundamental part (Sun, Venus, Jupiter) of the US. The US feels a strong affinity and connection to the relatively recent new country of Israel.

Israel Mars in US Chart

Most telling are the Mars (War!) connections with the Sun and Moon of the United States The tightest aspect is a semisquare between the Israel Mars and the US Sun (#1) which is almost exact. This suggests that we supply most of the weapons that Israel uses. This Mars is also opposite the Moon of the US (#2). Thus it appears that the martial quality of Israel is strongly connected with the US government (Sun) and people (Moon). To anyone who is paying attention this is strongly shown daily. America provides many weapons of war to Israel and Israel’s war aims are important for the government of United States.

There is the Important transit of Uranus square the US Moon and square the Israeli Mars for the next couple of years as illustrated below by a graphical ephemeris of both countries. The contact points to both the US Moon and the Israeli Mars are at #1, #3, and #5 during 2024, 2025, 2026. Expect action!

Transits to both US and Israel

Solid Lines – Israel; Dashed Lines -US

The USA Mars is conjunct the Uranus of Israel. This suggests that the Israeli notion of independence and freedom (that was so important to America’s colonials) feels by the US to need American military assistance to maintain the freedom and independence of Israel, which it certainly receives.

Israeli Uranus on US Mars at #1

There is a tight trine between the Israel Pluto and the Ascendant of the US shown at #2 below. For an example of what Pluto and the Ascendant can mean, recall that on 9/11 Pluto (Force Majeur) was conjunct the US Ascendant. Since this is a trine it is not overpowering but the will of Israel will be strongly reflected in the US. Natally the US has a tight semisquare with Pluto so that Pluto-Ascendants make Israel feel “part of the family”.

Israeli Pluto Tine US Ascendant, Saturn Semisquare MC

Another connection is the Saturn of Israel semisquare the MC of the US shown at #1 above. To me this suggest a sense of responsibility (a Saturn word) felt by the US towards Israel. Perhaps this comes because in June of 1939 the US turned away a ship of Jewish refugees from Germany or that during the War the United States refused to bomb railroads heading to death camps.

Israeli Mercury Opposite US Ascendant

Yet another connection: Mercury of Israel is on the Descendant of the US (#1 above) and thus the thinking and publications of Israel become very important to the US; the US identifies strongly with them and takes them as gospel. This you can see by reading or viewing just about any story about Israel in the mainstream media.

The MC/IC axis — one end the most public and the other the foundation or base — can be seen as the spine of the entity represented by the chart. This is a very important axis that does not get the recognition that it should; people often know their Ascendant sign but the Midheaven sign not so much.

Comparison of US and Israel

Mercury is conjunct the Midheaven of Israel (#3 above) so US press and other media, which is something Mercury represents, is closely aligned with the purpose and goals of Israel. But what is more important is the Mercury Pluto opposition of the United States is right along the primary axis of Israel.

The Mercury Pluto opposition of the United States represents the rules based order or more properly it can be stated as “we set the rules and you take our orders”. This potent force is combined with the spine of Israel; this show the cliche “a match made in heaven.”

Israel Sun Square US Moon

Another connection, though wide, is the square (#1) between the Israel Sun at 23 Taurus 40 and the US Moon at 27 Aquarius 10. While this square is wide at three and a half degrees (#2) it obviously plays out in real life and suggests the strong connection between the US and Israel. I’m not saying they should get married (even though some say that Israel is the 51st state) but there are strong connections. In the situation following October 7, the Israel government had a strong impact on the US, so much so that after the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu condemned student protest in the USA, colleges fell over themselves to crack down on protestors, sometimes even calling in local police to do the job.

To summarize and recapitulate there is a strong connection between the United States and Israel which we can see played out daily.
