Overview

Controversy over what constitutes a just war and responsibility for deaths focus on ideals and philosophical realities as crucial moments approach. A Yod formation over a four-day span indicates a priority for the securing of hostage release and a humanitarian pause in the war, as well as other agreements, that may be reached at this crucial time. Rooting out organizations with atavistic goals of domination and power who claim historical or religious justification is opposed by pure idealism (Venus in Libra) this week. A modification with the sextile of Mercury to Venus is amplified by Jupiter. The Sun/Mars conjunction aspect in Scorpio reaches for humanitarian sympathetic gestures with the trine aspect to Neptune in Pisces.

Each situation will be subject to the possibilities inherent. Jupiter as the apex of the Yod could indicate a significant increase in the possibility of a successful maneuver. In the sign of Taurus, economic and security issues would be a focus of enhanced debate. The call to alleviate suffering of civilians would be addressed. The Moon in Sagittarius quincunx aspect to Uranus retro in Taurus, could be a counter-indication, a sabotage of the efforts.

Approaching the trine aspect to Neptune retro in Pisces, the Sun/Mars pair indicates that goals are moderated for humanitarian issues.

As Mercury in Sagittarius separates from the sextile aspect to Venus in Libra, Venus doubly approaches the opposition aspect to Chiron retro in Aries. Accepting the arranged agreement implies a need for balance of pure principle and necessity for a long-term peace. The Sun ingress Sagittarius Wednesday 14:05 UTC; 11:05 EST; 13:05 EET, as the Moon is trine aspect to Mars and sextile aspect to Pluto; the need to reform governing powers was never greater.
