In 2020, the Great Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter definitively entered the Air signs, after more than 200 years in the Earth signs. This not only brought Corona, it also announced major geopolitical shifts, including a power would shift from West to East. The domination of the West, initially of Europe, began with the transition from the Great Conjunctions from the Fire signs into the Earth sign, which brought the Industrial Revolution. So it makes sense that that domination ends when the GCs leave the Earth signs.
Betrayal
The consequences of this are noticeable on a daily basis, the old continent of Europe, once the powerful center of the world, is under heavy attack. The Trump administration has recently published a new document formulating its foreign policy, which is a series of insults of Europe where civilization would perish morally corrupted. It is Putin’s message that we hear back from Trump. It seems that the US has become the ally of the Russians, Europe is on its own because of the cowardly betrayal of the Americans, the shock that this brought could be seen in the European leaders who were gathered in London.
Burned
To get an astrological picture of the situation, you can interpret the ingress chart (the horoscope for the exact moment that the Sun enters Aries again) for this year in Brussels as the political center of Europe. Of course, the ingress differs considerably per country, which also reflects reality, but as a general picture it is acceptable. In this ingress, Lord 1 is Europe this year and this indeed does not look very encouraging! Lord 1 is Mercury which is retrograde and therefore increasingly combust. That reflects well how Russia and the US are attacking Europe.
Neptune
That Sun that shows the cause of the European problems and towards which Lord 1 – Europe – is moving is in opposition via antiscion with Neptune who brings chaotic situations. Venus is also in detriment closeby, it is Lord 6 is of adversity and Mercury / Lord 1 conjuncts it. Venus is the planet of peace, but in detriment it rather indicates the lost peace. Through antiscion, Mercury Lord 1 is also in opposition to Saturn who is Lord 8 of the end and with whom Lord 1 is in mutual negative reception. Jupiter, Lord 7 of the enemy, hides in the twelfth house of sabotage, subversion and espionage. A clear picture of the difficult situation Europe finds itself in!
