Definitely no chance of knowing what is happening within North Korean government with solar annular eclipse on Neptune and Mercury. Deception highlighted. Double speak.

This solar annular eclipse connects with Neptune in Israel chart in 12th house associated with secrets and hidden matters. Neptune is connected with clandestine activities. It is associated with confusion, deception and mass delusion or hysteria. The sun and moon speak about the leadership in this chart, the Government and Parliament. It’s not likely we truly know what is being planned as things get driven underground. Neptune is also associated with oil, gas and chemicals. On a more positive note it speaks about the need to heal and transform spiritually. Is this possible with the current situation?

The solar annular eclipse is conjunct Venus in chart for Lebanon. This Venus has dignity in Libra and is associated with finding the other in more peaceful ways. Is a peaceful resolution possible? It will need to be brokered by others. Perhaps a prominent female figure? It could equally speak about loss of life particularly ordinary people especially women and children.

Mars in this eclipse chart conjuncts the Sun in US chart – the President. This is a troublesome Mars in fall in 8th house. Going to war costs money and there is also the consideration of loss of life of soldiers in war. Is this something the US wants at this time prior to the November elections?

In addition, Jupiter is conjunct Mars making it more difficult to choose a path of action. Too many options and not straightforward.

Work and well-being are a focus. You are not content. Your day-to-day life and home/family matters are getting you down. Do you have time for yourself? Sun and Moon conjunct Diadem – this star is connected to this concept of sacrificing oneself. This is not ideal. If you collapse you can’t be of any use to yourself and those in your care. It’s time to make some changes. How do you find the balance between your own needs – physical and emotional and those of your children and family? There could be some conflict in your community – be it siblings/neighbours and or school community. You have limited energy – how do you want it deployed? Can’t fight battles that are not yours to fight.

You are not content with your relationship – do you feel valued in this partnership? You are worried about your personal financial situation, and this is being reflected in your joint resources too. Are you earning enough professionally? Can you be more prudent with the resources you earn? What financial sacrifices are necessary at this time?

Saturn and Jupiter last connected in the air element between 1186 and 1404. As always this was a time of power struggles, social upheavals, religious conflict , war, territorial expansion and economic and environmental crisis.

The Feudal system dominated this period. It structured society with kings, nobles, knights and peasants. This system created extreme class divides, and this ultimately led to tension between peasants and the landed nobility. This led to resistance from the peasants. Kings wanted to centralise power, and the nobles resisted losing their autonomy. The Magna Carta was signed in 1215 by King John of England and a group of rebellious barons who were frustrated with his rule and excessive taxation and military failures. The important elements of this agreement set limits on the powers of the monarchy and the King’s ability to impose taxes without seeking consent from the barons. This was an early step towards parliamentary governance. In addition, it contained clauses protecting the privileges and unlawful imprisonment of barons. It also confirmed that the Church of England would be free from royal interference. It called for the restitution of property seized by the king from the barons. Over time, this agreement became more than just a fight for the rights of the barons. It became a powerful symbol of liberty and justice in the development of constitutional and individual rights. Its lasting impact was the assertion that the monarchy was not above the law.

During this period there were many religious wars with Christians wanting to control the Holy Land and oppose Muslim powers. There were also power struggles between Church and State.

The growth of trade in urban towns across Europe also weakened the Feudal system. This gave rise to the middle class.

The Mongol invasions in the 13^th Century reshaped Eastern Europe and Asia. This period reshaped Kievan Rus leading to the rise of Moscow as a central power which later led to the unification of Russian lands. This fragmentation led to the distinct regional identities particularly in modern day Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The Mongol period was brutal in terms of conquest but also facilitated exchange between east and west. The Mongols imposed heavy taxes which led to resentment among the population.

The Black Death (1347 to 1351) decimated one third of Europe’s population which caused massive social upheaval and created huge labour shortages. This led peasants to demand higher wages and better working conditions, ultimately weakening the feudal system. Widespread famines led to the demographic collapse and economic disruptions which drove demand for social change.

Focus is personal and shared resources and your relationship and or business partnership. There is tension in the relationship, and it relates to financial resources – career and business and those you share with spouse or business partner. What financial sacrifices do you need to make jointly? What about being financially deceived by partner/others – economical with the truth financially? There are multiple financial worries connected to your career/business. This is feeding into your shared financial concerns with your partner/spouse. Financial concerns are also causing tension in your home. Children and money – what is enough? What about financial issues connected to friendships? It is getting harder and harder to keep up with the Jones.

It is time to focus on your own self-worth and know that you are enough, and you have enough. Keep connected to what you value and use this gauge to know how you want to spend your money. Don’t get caught up in the noise of those around you. What changes do you need to make personally when you think about your career/status in the world?

We cannot hope to grow the economy if this aspect of our infrastructure is not efficient and effective. We need a determined and focused approach to resolve these problems. It can be done with drive and determination. Equally we have to pay attention to our neighbours – Zimbabwe. The media in SA has an incredibly important job to hold government accountable.
