Starlight News: The Warrior God Changes Direction

[tanyev]

As soon as the tragedy of 9/11 befell us, George Bush and his mindless minions hit the ground running… towards the long-awaited neocon dream of war with Iraq. Unfortunately, instead of creating a Jeffersonian democracy in the Middle East, they jumped head-first into a large vat of concrete. The feeling of stuckness is profound. In today’s Iraq, if our troops clear out an area, it is replenished with insurgents by the following week. We can’t leave (or so we are told), because the civil war will become a regional conflagration. We can’t increase our numbers, because our military is already dangerously depleted. Our very presence helps to rationalize and incite the global anti-American jihad and scourge of terrorism we are there to destroy. We are caught in the middle of a civil war, trying to protect both sides from each other, while they each attack us with abandon.

And yet, there are beginning to be some cracks in the concrete. We are hearing more and more voices talking about options other than this fruitless push to an illusory victory. Some Democrats speak of redeployment to neighboring friendly nations; others offer a plan for dividing Iraq into three municipalities with shared oil wealth. Even Senator John Warner, the powerful head of the Armed Services Committee, has recently stated that we must change direction if things do not significantly improve in the next three months.

In these early years, the progressed retrograde movement of Mars will be incremental, gaining momentum only slowly over the years. Between July 2006 and July 2007, for example, the apparently backward movement of Mars will only amount to 23 minutes, not even half of a degree. Nonetheless, it is the beginning of a significant shift. For the US, it is likely to bring a more cautious military posture and possibly a less dynamic and less assertive foreign policy for years to come. It may also indicate more reflection and inwardness, rather than a tendency to act precipitously.

At the moment, however, we are in a multi-year transformation phase that reflects the changing status of progressed Mars. A more circumspect foreign policy is not likely to begin until Bush is out of office, although the mood of the country is clearly already shifting. Unfortunately, planetary indications for 2007 and 2008 suggest a strong potential for the aggressive impulses of Mars to be unleashed. Progressed US Mars currently sits at 18Libra42, and it is around this degree, as well as around 18 degrees of the mutable signs, that there will be considerable stimulation in 2007 and early 2008.
