Just a few days ago Israel waged a preemptive attack on the country of Iran to prevent it from building nuclear weapons, much like Japan waged a preemptive attack on the American base in Pearl Harbor just 84 years ago to prevent the United States from building nuclear weapons with which to attack Japan. In this current case the United States is deeply involved with the Israeli attack.
Attack on Iran
Looking at the chart for the first strike we see Mars square Uranus with Mars in the first house. This is an astrological cliche for an accident, but more broadly it can been seen as an unexpected or sudden use of energy or military might. But if we look at the chart in respect to the Israel chart we see something even more fascinating: This was the Mars return for Israel, something that happens every two years when Mars returns to its natal position and so things are even more martial. But this also means that Uranus was squaring the natal Mars of Israel at this moment. It almost seems overdetermined that Israel would do something rash and bold and unexpected at this moment.
Israel Attacks Iran
If we look at the chart for Iran at the moment of attack nothing seems to stand out. Neptune is prominent. There is a wide conjunction of Neptune/Saturn with the Iranian Sun. The transiting Sun is opposite the Iranian Neptune. The transiting Neptune-Saturn is sesquiquadrate the Iran Ascendant. It appears that deception took place, The United states was in the process of negotiations with Iran at the time, and Iran was led to believe that they would not be attacked while negotiations were on going and so perhaps Iran did not expect anything. Notice also that Uranus is moving to conjoin the Moon of Iran. This will be more important in 2026, but as we will see with the United States Moon Uranus hard aspects often signify war. At the very least, it signifies that the populace is exited, something that the Iranian population is already doing/being.
Iran Attacked
Here is the chart of the United States, which was involved with this attack, at the time of the attack. There is a wide square of Uranus to the Moon, but the square was exact about a month earlier and transiting Mars was opposite the US Moon the day before the attack.
US at Time of Attack
And here is the chart for the attack of Pearl Harbor just one Uranus cycle before now. Instead of Saturn conjoined the outer planet Neptune we have Saturn conjoining the outer planet Uranus, and they are both square the US Moon, And of course Neptune is conjunct the MC of the US, one half Neptune Cycle before now, when Neptune is opposite the US MC.
Pearl Harbor Attack
Finally looking at the graphical ephemeris for Israel over this year we see that Pluto is opposite the Moon of Israel and there was a Mars Pluto tight aspect on the Israeli Moon is late April of this year. Earlier this year Uranus was conjunct the Israeli Sun, indicating much excitement in the government of Israel. Uranus then when on to excite the Israel Mars and as you can see the exact aspect was at about the time of the attack.
Israel This Year
In the future Pluto will continue to opposite the Israel Moon suggesting strong change in the citizens of that country, Also continuing will be Uranus squaring the Israeli Mars, suggesting further use of military means,
Three events define the first half of this decade. Of course there were many other defining events, but these three rate special notice for several reasons, the first of which is that when the second event started the first almost disappeared from public consciousness. When the third event started the second almost disappeared from public consciousness. This exclusiveness is one thing that set these events apart. These are also the three events that will shape the way the second half of this decade plays out, with the ramification, realizations, and renouncements shaping the way the decade finally ends.
Neptune at Aries Point
As Neptune approaches the Aries Point we should pay special attention to the use and misuse of propaganda, something that is truly ruled by Neptune. Neptune got within four minutes of the Aries Point in July 2024 (1) only to turn retrograde as if the thought of a Fire Sign was too much to bear; then at the end of March 2025, a week after the Vernal Equinox, Neptune truly enters Aries (2) and then retrogrades and skates along the Aries Point from Fall of 2025 (3) through Winter of 2026 (4) before finally ensconcing into Aries in February of 2026.
There were conventional and dissident views on all three events, but the power behind the crushing of the dissident point of view was so strong in all three cases that you know there was much force behind the conventional view. It was not just “Oh so you disagree with me, that’s life” but rather if you disagree with the conventional viewpoint you are an apostate, a sinner, you stand against everything holy. The use of religious metaphors is not an accident. One is reminded of the Inquisition. The name calling by those holding the conventional view of those holding a dissident view was extreme as examples later will show.
I also want to look at these three moments in terms of the left-right paradigm. As I’ve expressed before I think this dichotomy is outdated but it is still very much used. And though those terms are used in ways that are way beyond the limits of what the words mean I will still use them without double quotes around the words to save typing, but you can imagine that double quotes are present.
Since this period includes what I call the Sixth Crisis we need to mention the Fifth Crisis which was World War II. One of the big items of the Fifth Crisis was the Nazis which we will see reflections of in this Sixth Crisis. People misunderstand what Nazis are. Perhaps because of much propaganda many believe that the Nazis were only killers of Jews. This is wrong, the Nazis were against the untermenschen — under people or subhumans — not only Jewish people but Romany, disabled, homosexuals, you name it, anybody not Aryan or ubermenschen. And so under people can be the common people, Russians, or Palestinians, those who don’t meet certain “standards”.
I’ll outline the conventional view first but, since it is conventional, I will not devote that much space to it. If you don’t know the conventional view by heart you likely were asleep for the last five years. More space will be used to discuss the dissident view but, since it is dissident, there are many variations possible. I’ll just try to limn out the basic ideas.
The first big crisis of this third decade of the Twenty-First Century was Covid-19 and the ensuing vaccine. The people who saw through this for the most part were on the right, which gave those on the left ample cause to jeer. And of course those on the left who also saw through the propaganda were now considered to be on the right.
Covid-19 Declared a Pandemic
Covid-19 was an infection that was the greatest pandemic to strike the world since the Spanish Flu of 1918. Measures such as lockdowns, masks, and avoiding large groups (“social distancing”) were necessary and enforced to keep the people safe. Nonetheless there was a huge amount of dying over the years 2020 and beyond. This crisis was finally abated by the introduction of a vaccine that was both safe and effective. These vaccines were developed under “Operation Warp Speed” (OWS) in record time, using a novel technology that had never been used in the public before. Many were forced with a government mandate to get what was called “the jab” because nobody is safe unless everybody complies . There were various technologies used to create these vaccines and the most popular in Western countries was messenger RNA — mRNA. This vaccine was introduced shortly after the previous president — who oversaw OWS — left office.
The alternate view had it that an artificially-created virus was developed in Wuhan China with American funding which spread around the world. It caused a mild respiratory distress, much like the Asian Flu of 1958-59 or the Hong Kong flu of 1968-69 which is considered one of the deadliest pandemics in history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_flu). Many have seen the movie of people practicing social distancing on a farm in upstate New York in the summer of 1969 while watching live music during the Hong Kong flu epidemic. This disease would have stricken few and they could have been cured by early treatment using the same substances that were found effective with an earlier corona viruses. Also adequate vitamin D in a body would have reduced infection. But none of those treatments were owned by large companies so little profit could be realized by using them. Instead early treatment was discouraged and hospital patients were treated with ventilators and an [official] drug whose nickname was “run death is near”. The death toll was elevated by bogus PCR tests and redefinition of other diseases, such as flu and cancer and even automobile accidents, as a death from Covid-19. Antibiotics were not used even though many had pneumonia, which was redefined as Covid-19 when they died. The stress engendered by lockdowns, social distancing, and other measure was so great that many succumbed to the affects of the intense stress. Early treatments were prevented so that a vaccine using a new technology could be rushed into service without the usual 10 years of testing. `
Vaccine Mandate Declared
The amount of death world-wide due to the vaccines number in the millions, with many more disabled and even more injured. Some of the diseases caused are various heart aliments and clots and an aggressive type of cancer called turbo-cancer. Most people, especially on the left, are not willing to look at the real misinformation and they will be horribly crushed when the truth comes out. All the news media have been active in covering up the excessive death and injury even though most insurance companies are aware of them. As they say, the cover up is worse than the crime. And when the cover-up unravels things will be different!
Many compared the treatment of people with experimental drugs as similar to what got a lot of Nazi doctors hanged and led to the creation of the Nuremberg Code that prohibits lack of informed consent in medical procedures. Many are calling for a Nuremberg 2.0 to take a look at the massive lack of informed consent. One outspoken dissident with real world experience is Vera Sharav, a holocaust survivor who has been vehement in her condemnation of the massive medical experiment.
There were strong terms used to condemn those who took a dissident view, such as “anti-vaxxer” or “right-wing conspiracy theorist”. Many important people appeared on the media to condemn those who held such divergent views. The left, which traditionally supported bodily autonomy (“My body my choice”) and informed consent were totally against those things in this case. The left is also aware of “regulatory capture” wherein large corporations capture the government agencies which supposedly regulate those same corporations, rending any restriction on their activities minor. But now it was big tobacco, bad; big oil, bad; but big pharma, so good we will trust it with out life (literally). Many on the left are concerned with the chemicals they take in, so pesticide-free organic food and GMO free food is important, but using the much more rapid means of ingestion which was injection is not at all suspicious. On the other hand, the right supports the behavior of corporations, thinking that corporations are truly part of the American Way. Big business is swell, they think. And no “My body, my choice’. But here they reversed themselves. One strange outcome of the Covid-19 debacle was the switching positions of the right and the left. I guess, as Emerson said, consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
The second event of note was the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a bordering country, on February 24, 2022. The conventional stance on this issue is that the brutal leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin, wants to recreate the old Soviet Union and eventually conqueror Europe. Russia’s unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine was just the first step in his big plans. If we — the United States and Europe — don’t stop him in Ukraine the West will have to stop Russia in Europe or America.
The dissent view — which takes note of history — points out contributing factors. In 1990 the United States told the leader of the Soviet Union that if East and West Germany could reunite and join NATO then NATO would not expand “one inch eastward”. Since then NATO has doubled in size with a number of new countries, most of which were either part of the Soviet Union or aligned with the Soviet Union. Russia realized that the word of the West was meaningless.
Not One Inch East
Then in 2014 there was a Nazi coup in Ukraine that was supported (at the very least) by the United States. This Maidan Revolution (named for the public square in Kiev where it began) overthrew a democratically leader of the country. Then began a civil war between Ukranine and the Russians who make up the Eastern part of the country. Russia tried for years to settle these disputes to no avail and finally when a larger number of Russian were going to be killed (according to the UN) did Russia invade the country. Immediately Russia tried to end that dispute with agreements but the country was rebuffed at every turn.
Maidan Revolution
In this the name calling had the dissidents as “Putin puppets” unable to think for themselves but only following Kremlin propaganda. Obviously US and NATO propaganda was truthful.
The left and the right both supported this dissident view (to a minor extent). There was even an anti-war rally called “Rage Against the War Machine” that attracted both the left and the right. But some on the left would not attend because some evil people on the right were present, and some on the right would not attend because of the evil people on the left that were present.
Z – Special Military Operation
The third event started with the unprovoked attack on a settlement and dance party in Israel by the terrorist Hamas, an organization that politically controlled Gaza. This terrorist group must be destroyed if the citizens of Israel are to be able to live in peace. Hamas wants to create a new holocaust and is solely motivated by its hatred of Jews just like the Nazis. There were 1200 Israelis killed in the attack, which also included mass rape and the beheading of babies. No one was safe in this horrible act.
Hamas Attack
The alternative view of this third crisis was that there was a revolt from “the world’s largest open air prison” ( Human Rights Watch) which upset the government of Israel that ran the prison and that country used this revolt as an excuse to drive the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip away from that territory so that Israel could once again take over that area. Much like slave revolts in the South of America, such as those of Nat Turner or Denmark Vesey, this revolt was not nice or pretty but totally understandable.
This dissident view holds that there were no rapes during the attack and only one child was killed and by accident. Of the 1200 killed, just over 300 were military and, according to an Israeli newspaper, over 300 of those killed were killed by the Israeli military, but since no complete investigation was done we really have no idea how many were really killed by the Israeli military.
And of course the all-in-one epithet condemning Hamas and all those who made even a mild criticize of what Israel is doing as antisemitism, thus conflating Zionism — the driving force behind the creation of Israel — with Judaism, which is a spiritual belief.
The right in general were extremely supportive of the Israeli side — definitely no anti-Semites here. While the right has long bemoaned those snowflakes who got upset when someone criticized them, condemning the whole woke culture of the Left, the right was in a hurry to support the Jewish snowflakes who were upset that some were criticizing the State of Israel. Are we seeing the birth of the”Woke Right”? In a world were the terrorist organization which is an offshoot of Al Qaeda is now rebranded as a ruler of Syria since they are now woke such a change is certainly possible.
The left was more supportive of the Palestinian side since many are aware of the apartheid nature of Israel, but still many on the left support Israel, perhaps because they are ashamed that America did not allow Jewish refugees to enter the country during World War II or refused to bomb the rail lines to the death camps in Nazi Germany.
Hades-Kronos Conjunction
Uranian sidebar: Beginning in 2010 there was a conjunction between two Trans-Neptunian planets, Hades and Kronos. The name Hades — Greek name for Pluto — suggests some of the disgust engendered by the planet. For an example from real Life, on 9/11 Hades was conjunct the Natal Mars of the United States with an orb of three minutes. Kronos — the Greek equivalent of Saturn — is said to rule high things like skyscrapers, governments, other large organizations. On 9/11 Kronos was at 0 Cancer and square the MC of the US. Perhaps this conjunction is like a super Saturn-Pluto conjunction. In a personal example, as a young child I had transiting Hades opposite my Sun, and that Spring I had a number of illnesses, the worst of which was encephalitis lethargica, which put me in a coma for three weeks.
These two planets came into a conjunction about 2010 and the conjunction will continue until 2050 with the exact conjunction happening at the end of this decade. From the graphical ephemeris it can be seen the Hades (‘C’ with a cross) is closely even thought it is a fourth harmonic graphical ephemeris, both planets are really in Cancer) conjunct the US Sun from 2022 through 2025 and Kronos (cross with a lid on)from 2020 to 2024. In the 2030s both planets conjoin the US Mercury, representing the Press. There can be two quite opposite meanings, and I believe both will come to pass. In the negative realm there will be much death and widespread corruption, which of course we are already seeing. But on a positive side this conjunction could mean reaching a higher plane through disgust with the current reality. We shall see what the future brings. But for now, everything is broken.
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.
Israel is a modern country and so it has an accurate birthtime. The downside is that there are three birthtimes. Fortunately these times are all`within an 8 hour period. I have a birthtime that is half way between the first and the second which I prefer and when we look at the attacks of October 7 you will see why.
Israel 4pm
Currently Israel is much in the news because of the attack by Hamas on October 7 and the ongoing war with the Gaza Strip. This incident illustrates that the effects of Neptune are still quite prominent. Israel has what is probably the best intelligence service in the world and the Gaza Strip is one of the more heavily surveilled regions and still the Israeli government missed this attack which had been two years in planning according to Sky News; also Hamas had trial runs in the preceding weeks which were not noticed by Israeli intelligence. And they were warned several days in advance by Egypt and the United States — which also has a well developed intelligence service — that something big was coming. This intelligence failure was so large that some conspiracy theorists have suggested that Israel wanted this attack to happen so they would have an excuse to go into Gaza with big weapons. So October 7 illustrates the delusions of Neptune writ large.
Israel 4:17pm
But there is also something called “The Fog of War” which occurs in every war since it is difficult to see the truth with so many conflicting opinions and a tendency by each belligerent to slant their own truth in a way that is beneficial to them. I thought the ongoing conflict in Ukraine was very foggy, but this current conflict in the Levant far outdoes that war in the fog arena. But again, this is strongly Neptune.
Israel 4:32pm
So here are the three possibly charts for Israel. The first for May 14, 1948 is for the start of a speech declaring the state of Israel at 4 pm; the second is for the end of that speech at 4:32PM; the third is midnight the following day, May 15, when Britain gave up control of that area. For reasons that will be clear later, I prefer a time of 4:17PM on that same day.
Israel Midnight
There are three incidents that we will look at: the Hamas attack early in October, the Six-Day War of 1967, and the Yon Kippur War (also known as the October War), which lasted some twenty days, in 1973. Those last two are by now ancient history, but Israel astrologers consider them shown by that Israeli chart.
Let’s first look at the most recent event, one that is being referred to as Israel’s 9/11 and I’m sure the date October 7 or 7.10 (like much of the world Israel uses day first in dates) will be immortalized in that nation’s history. At 6:35 in the morning the airraid sirens announced the initial attack by Hamas on a music festival or rave and so that is the time we used for this event. I’m still seeing conflicting accounts of what exactly happened but the time is what counts. Perhaps in the future people will look back at this event as they now note the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand 110 years ago.
Attack on Israel 4:17 chart
It is true of this chart and in fact all charts set in this period that Uranus is conjunct the Sun of Israel. Uranus is about one degree away and since it is retrograde it is separating. Was this a Uranian event? With Uranus expect the unexpected.
At the end of August 2023 Uranus went stationary retrograde at about one-half degree from the Israel Sun, which is the same no matter what chart you use. On October 7 Uranus was a little over a degree from the natal Sun. One suggested meaning of this transit is “expect surprises” and that is certainly what happened. Uranus Sun contacts suggest change and upset, things that we are seeing right now. But note that there was much protest before October 7 because the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was attempting to make the Israeli Supreme Court subservient to the Knesset (Israel’s unicameral legislative body – unlike every US state but Nebraska Israel does not have a bicameral legislature) instead of its equal. And currently there are many citizen who charge Netanyahu with bad response to these attacks.
Here is the chart of Israel with the transits for 6:35; the only difference between the four possible natal charts is the angles and with the 4:17 chart Mars for this incident is exactly on the Ascendant. This position exactly describes what happened — an attack with violence (Mars) aimed at the self-image (Ascendant) of Israel. In addition this natal chart puts Pluto opposite the MC and thus conjunct the IC — the foundation of Israel. Remember on 9/11 the United States had Pluto on the Ascendant so we can see where the idea of 7.10 being Israel’s 9/11 comes from.
Six Day War
The Six Day War was in the Sixties and we can see the familiar Uranus-Pluto conjunction in the eleventh house. Venus, the lesser benefic, is conjunct the MC and Jupiter, the greater benefic, is conjunct the Moon so we can expect that this war will be short and successful for the Israelis. This was indeed the case. Israel was attacked by Egypt and other Arab countries and as a result Israel took possession of the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. However, note Neptune opposite the Sun at a little over one degree. This suggests that the government of Israel was a bit deluded about the meaning and outcome of the war. One can see the connection between that war and the current one because of of the areas in play now were captured then.
Yom Kippur War
For the Yom Kippur War the natal Venus — the judiciary — seems to be the focus of interest. Not only is Pluto square Venus but Saturn is conjunct the natal Venus; so there is a Saturn-Pluto square that is almost exact. Saturn-Pluto hard aspects are not favorable (a Saturn-Pluto conjunciton was at the start o the Covid crisis), especially when the are configured with the natal chart. If we look at the 4pm chart we find Uranus on the Ascendant within a quarter degree.
In the upcoming years we will see in Israel as well as the Western world a developing split between what I call the Pluto Jews — represented by the government of Israel and Zionism – and the Uranus Jews – represented by groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace. As a result of this split seen around the world we may possibly see true democracy for the first time in history
Note the connections between this period — what I’ve called the Sixth Crisis — and the previous Fifth Crisis which was World War II. The Nazis were obviously quite important during the Fifth Crisis. But at this time we see that the concept of ” nazis ” is increasingly becoming prominent. Not only were the citizens of Israel traumatized by the horror inflicting by the original Nazis, but they have called Hames Nazis, while some think that the behavior of Israel’s government is like that of the Nazis. And in fact one Israel polymath — Yeshayahu Leibowitz — has warned of Judeo-Nazi behavior among the Zionists.
Suggested reading. Since one of the elements of this blog is history, I find that a real problem is that many are not aware of the history of any given case. For Israel and Palestine a fairly short and comprehensive history is found in the book Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian, which contains references to many source documents for a situation that has been developing for hundreds of years.
Uranus-Pluto Square
Something changed in Israel about 10 yeas ago according to people who live there which has led up to the current Netanyahu government which we are repeatedly told is the most “right-wing” in Israeli history. This is when there was the Uranus Pluto Square the effected the whole world. In Israel’s case Uranus was opposite the natal Neptune and Pluto was square that same Neptune, thus making a T-square between the outer planets though a hybrid one combining both natal and transiting points. These days most of the younger Israels are acting very jingoistic while the dissenters are mostly older Israelis who remember the older Israel that had socialist roots.
As another example of how Neptune plays such a prominent role in this conflict, consider that the Jews have PTSD from, most recently and most intense, the Holocaust during World War II. People with PTSD tend the overreact to minor threats, and in this case the Palestinians now too have PTSD from their treatment starting with their expulsion from their native lands — called the Nakba — in 1948. So we have two groups of people both of which have PTSD — not a good situation. Recently psychedelic drugs have been suggested as helpful to people with PTSD. In fact several cities and states in the United States have legalize psychedelic drugs for treatment of disorders. So perhaps a solution to this middle east problem is widespread use of psychedelic drugs in Israel and Palestine or as Bob Dylan said “Everybody must get stoned”.
15 years of Israeli History
Looking at the next few years for Israel shows many challenges coming up for the country as can be seen by the graphical ephemeris. Pluto squared the Ascendant-Descendant axis in 2019 and 2020 and that planet goes on to oppose the Midheaven in 2020,2021, and 2022 (1). These are the years that Israel became a laboratory of Pfizer and their vaccines. Finally Pluto will oppose the Moon of Israel in 2025,2026,2027 (2). This is a difficult decade for Israel even without considering the general problems the world will face as has been outlines here for months. The response to the events of October 7 will continue to plague the government and the people of Israel for the rest of this decade. Following these transits Israel will undergo the Pluto demi-return in 2030 through 2032 (3). Notice that it took the United States 250 year to see its Pluto Return, while Israel has a demi-return in only 82 years, one third of the time for the US instead of half as one would expect. This is because Israel was born while Pluto was speeding up as it moved closer to the Sun in its very elliptical orbit so the last 80 years have seen the fastest motion of Pluto. The US had its Pluto demi-return in the Thirties when the Great Depression was happening and there were many radicals organizing against the government Israel will also get a Neptune demi-return in 2029 and 2030 (4). Israel is undergoing some similar transits to the United States only a few years later but still in this decade in which many important global events are happening to all countries of the world.
And finally we will close this blog post with some singing from Israeli children:
500 Year Party
