Mideast Study: A Simple Point to Punctuate 'These' Historical Times

(4.01.01) I feel like I could put together a book on this Mideast study, but simple is best. There are many implications that can be derived from the combination of the charts given. I am merely punctuating one significant morsel. There are more, but I think the main point becomes clear when the pattern is understood. Let me explain.

Please take a moment to notice any pattern in the comparison charts given. Notice the similarities encircled: 1) degrees that include 14 to 23 of the astrological sign, Sagittarius ; 2) the re-occurrence of Saturn in relation to the Nodes with these political figures; and 3) the penciled-in hieroglyph of transiting Pluto, which is beginning to share the same degrees with the Saturn/Node pattern -- around 15 degrees. This is a simple pattern that I believe speaks volumes. Let me explain further...


First, this is a UNUSUAL occurrence in relationship to these leaders and the present time. It takes Pluto approximately 248 years to come back to the current position shown and penciled in . Pluto moves only a few degrees a year. Saturn takes approximately 28-30 years to come back to its point of origin. The nodes take approximately 18 years. So, to have: 1) these political figures in office that occupy similar astrological connection between 14 and 23 degrees of Sagittarius ; 2) at the same time transiting Pluto (which rules mass destruction) occupies these degrees, IS INDEED A UNUSUAL PHENOMENON. Statisticians can have a hay day calculating the probability of this one! Then again, I don't think this is a coincidence.

The English translation of this pattern -- Saturn ; the Nodes , and Pluto in Sagittarius -- says that these political figures (and probably some others, e.g., Colin Powell, China) have a professional relationship around the critical issue of mass destruction. Much work has to be accomplished now. Globalization is an issue.

The closer in degree the stronger the connection between political parties. Note that the closest relationship in the pattern presented is between Saddam and Osama. The comparison between these two indicate that there is a strong possibility of a financial relationship which may leave Saddam a little drained. The astrological indication is that they don't necessarily believe as the other, but there is the potential for a significant political, business and professional relationship. They are likely to share some ideas, resources and partners.

Saddam

Saddam's chart speaks of someone who is gifted mentally, he can accomplish tremendous mental feats with some unusual hidden thoughts. He is a slow and deliberate mover. He is unrelenting and stubborn. He loves power. Everything comes down to money, resources and possessions for Saddam. He has an insatiable sweet tooth. To him, he has a duty to protect "his" resources. He needs to be involved in power plays. It is what he thrives on. He will go to great lengths to have. He has limited scope in that the world he places himself in is all he knows. He has strong leadership qualities and seeks to perfect his plan. There is a side that expects to get what he wants, many might consider that he has a spoiled side that is hard to satisfy.

It appears from his chart that Saddam is in a finishing phase with his military plans (and Osama's chart does fall into Saddam's military house). Currently, powerful relationships are helping him militarily, e.g., China. This is going to go on for the next few years. It isn't over with Saddam. He is still building. Astrological indication agrees with the main consensus, it has been going on over the last two years. We can expect to be seeing another outburst from him mid-July 2002. Now through April 2001, this powerful military relations intensifies. Approaching May-July 20, 2001, there will be development. Perhaps acquiring more.

He's in a fighting spirit over his financial wounds this year. (5.10.01, Nando Times: Saddam Hussein criticizes how U.N. "oil-for-food" program uses revenue.) This gets in the way of his plans. The chart indicates he is finishing up with his military plans which should be done in approximately 33 months. He will come across more intense, determined and angry. Don't expect this him to be agreeable this year. These financial wounds effect his ability to lead. He has a close military partner that depends on his finances, e.g., China? If you think that his world dislikes him, think again. He is likely to win the people over, especially through broadcasting. The only difficulty for him is that he's not telling the truth. He colors the details which saves his reputation. Expect him to entertain partners at home. There is a steady relationship that brings him joy. (7.30.01, BBC News: "For some time there have been signs that Saddam himself, now 64, is seriously ill -- perhaps with cancer -- and that he is grooming Qusay to take his place.")

My call is that foreign opposition comes into see what he has brewing at home. The boundaries become very unclear. Homeland is due for some emotional hardships. Open opposition create limitations for Saddam and an opportunity to gain more power. He's definitely got an in with somebody and he is ‘fighting mad.'

Osama bin Laden

Osama

If you thought Osama had shown his full religious side, think again. Currently, he is working on some plans at home. His homeland, family, and religious feelings are all going to be growing this year (solar return Full Moon + transiting Jupiter crossing over his 4th house and Moon). Count on a few new members. Family pride rings loud and clear starting as the end of April and lasting thru the remainder of the year. There will be a peak in his confidence mid-June through July. Why? I don't know.

There is more, but the point is clear. This is a delicate time in history that will require hard work and forethought from the parties involved. Bush is likely to get more involved than he ever thought or said he would. This pattern is not an accident. We are in a critical time in history concerning the Mideast.

Politically active, stressful dates around the world through 2001: April 23; May 1; May 6-11; June 21 thru July 21; Sept. 2; Nov 6-15; Dec. 1, 2001. Allow a day or two on either side of the dates given. :-)
