The recent cyber-attacks on government computers in the United States and South Korea coincide with the square (90 degree aspect) from Mars (warfare, aggression) to the Triple Conjunction of Chiron, Jupiter and Neptune which is still tightly in alignment. On a personal level that Triple Conjunction has served as a call from the soul to delve deeply into the unfolding healing process in order to more consciously awaken to every part of our being. (See my website and this blog for plenty of articles on the Chiron/Neptune conjunction.
That square from Mars began moving into alignment to form a challenging square aspect to the Big Three just after the first of the month, and by July 4, the date the attacks began, Mars was within one degree from the aspect to Chiron and moving quickly towards an exact square to all three. This has been a challenging few days for many people, particularly because of the addition of the lunar energy from the Full Moon. There has been a great deal of aggression in the air with a tremendous bomb blast in Afghanistan, revolution in Honduras, riots in ethnic areas in China, a surge of violence in Iraq.
When Mars squares Chiron in our personal birthcharts there is often a stripping away of any veneer that protects us from our wounded emotional places (Chiron), and we often react with anger (Mars) as a result. The same appears to be occurring on the global stage as well. With Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius, the sign that rules technology, and Uranus, the planet ruler of technology, in the sign of Pisces which can obfuscate the truth and create confusion, it's no surprise that techniques of war are rapidly mutating into technological areas. Cyber attacks were originally the province of geeky young guys with dreams of bringing down the CIA or Wall Street from their bedrooms. Now powerful nations are hiring these geeky young guys to administer cyber attacks on a much larger scale.
In last Sunday's radio show I discussed the Solar Return chart of the United States, whose birthday is widely celebrated as July 4, 1776. The Solar Return marks the exact moment that the Sun returns to its place in the natal chart and is often used as a predictor of what is likely to manifest over the coming year. Embedded in the US Solar Return is this Mars square which suggests that it will be difficult for the US to achieve peace over the next year.

Mars in Taurus Square Triple Conjunction of Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius was a Electricity Grid & Communication Breakdown for me here in Karachi, Pakistan. Power grid tripped and no electricity was available for 3 hours in addition to regular loadshedding of 1 hours after every 4 hours. My internet connection disconnected on 7-July-2009. It has now been restored on 9-July-2009 in the evening.
So with Mars squaring Charon does this increase the likelihood of more wars in the world? And what is the best response to threats? Should we deal with them by "turning the other cheek" or should we be using reason, or should we be fighting fire with fire?
Mars is square to Chiron rather than Charon, and remember Mars moves pretty quickly so this aspect only lasts for a week or so. It HAS coincided with the escalation of violence, but it will soon be gone. My personal view, especially where Chiron is involved and there is a necessity for healing rather than simply reaction, is that in responding to threats we should examine the root of the threat and see if there is an action that is creating the violence that can be altered without sacrificing one's integrity.
