Russia on the Offensive

Over the next few months Saturn will move into position to square both the US Sun and the Russia Sun. The Saturn/Uranus opposition will therefore be a part of that dynamic. I suspect we are in for a great deal of change and over the next few months I'll be taking a closer look.

Anon, I don't think I understand you here. Are you saying Russia is the puppet, and if so who are the ones doing the actual provoking and the backers that you mention? Please clarify as I think this is a very interesting point.

Something that might help in terms of the bigger picture: what important deal has just been agreed today, and can you see the connection? And I'll leave it at that, in the hope that you will invest the time in research on this if need be, as it is quite clear the course of future events is being set up. Best wishes, Lynn!

I feel like this is a test of some kind. Hmmm...

OK, here's what I know: South Ossetia has an oil pipeline. Georgia paid McCain's foreign policy advisor $800,000 in lobbying bills over the past few years. Georgia's president confirms that Georgia is receiving arms from Israel, Israel denies it. Some people say that the US just wants to enter the battle but there aren't enough troops to do so.

It appears to me that Russia is working to amass more power and influence in the region and beef up its access to oil. Russia, China and India will soon be allied into the world's major superpower. They all get oil from Iran, I believe, and will be allied with Iran as well.

Obviously at a certain level the powers that be want conflict and war all of the time so people will be frightened and encouraged to assent to greater rule and control. But I don't see how what Anon is getting at. Please enlighten me!!

Oh please. You Putin apologists need to get a handle on reality. The man is a snake, no question. He has been after Georgia for years. You and your ilk are too busy looking at Bush's naval lint. Both Russia and China have been sabre rattling for some time now. Russia has already made claims on Arctic waters as well. And who has been supplying Iran with weapons to destabilize Iraq? Russia and China.

Conspiracy theories aside, the US is in no position to exert it's diplomatic will or military strength in this matter - much too stretched. The tension in Georgia has been building for months. This has been a big concern for the US. Georgia "thought" it had the backing of the US and allies to re-exert its influence in the rebel areas. Russia may have set the bait here. Nonetheless, Georgia has reached too far and now finds its "allies" rather toothless.

In the bigger picture, Russia is amassing significant wealth due to the rise in oil's value. With wealth comes power (or in Russia's case renewed power). New alliances are attempting to form in the world. Yet, Russia and China are still too emotionally immature to create a long-term effective alliance bond. Also, they have a long history of incompatibility. Adding Iran to the alliance mix only adds more instability to this dynamic.

Where this goes is anyone's guess. Crazy Uranus makes these dynamics a real wild card. With Uranus opposing Saturn come November, then 4 more times through 2010, the world could find itself in a topsy-turvy cycle of upheaval and dangerous posturing by the time 2011 rolls around. I suspect what we're seeing now is a realignment of wealth and power throughout the globe. Uranus in late degree Pisces sure knows how to get everyone's attention.

Anon-

As you find Lynn to be one of your favorite bloggers, you are obviously benefiting from a ton of work she does behind the scenes. You wrote "I have too much respect for your intelligence to spell it out for you, I'll chalk this up as you being too busy to work beyond what you're told. I do look forward to you 'getting it' and working on the charts of the right people."

Yet, when she asked you to clarify, as your assumption that she "understood" was inaccurate, you went off in an unhelpful direction.

It would be kind, helpful, and "respectful" of you to simply answer her question, so that she could have a chance of answering yours, instead of not. There is a ton of information to sort through when it comes to political history and one person cannot do it all.

So, in your opinion, who are those doing the provoking, and of their backers who will now be offering the "solution" to the "problem"? It would be interesting to look at their charts, but unless you clarify how can one invest time in analyzing "those charts?"

I don't get it why you are being so critical, yet unhelpful.

Why do all astrology sites have to dive head first into political commentary? Yes, it's mundane astrology, and yes, the topic is an act of aggression by Russia, which has HUGE political implications, but we're supposed to be here to use astrology to look at it and see what the chart has to say. NOT what leftist bloggers think about politics SEPARATE from the charts. I'm so completely sick of looking for infomation about astrology and instead getting political and religious indoctrination.

What might be Russia's aim? What might be the outcome of this act? What kind of internal/external strife might they encounter? THESE are the questions we should be answering. NOT what so and so thinks America did wrong this time. If you want to bash America or discuss what your OWN OPINION is about the situation, you should go to a POLITICAL site. Astrology should be dicussed on an astrology site.

Let the chart lead the way, not politics.

Oh, Tonya-snakes are easy to capture and study and predict because they are not human, charismatic, brilliant...and unpredictable.
What is the West out for, simply? What's running short?
What if it is 'business as usual' w/ neighbors that are known and predictable (for centuries?), and all our concerns just simply...aren't theirs? It would be like telling your relatives in other states, "oh, yes...we're thinking about doing some remodelling in the more contemporary style.."
In the meantime, an add w/ the price of your home appears in every national newpaper, and 5,000 realtors show up and beat down your door.
What was the bid for manufacter on 'Global Troll Awards?'.
They're cleaning up.
