Kunduz Air Strike and the USA

The Astrology of Afghanistan

On 20 August 2009, Presidential elections were held in Afghanistan. On that same day there was a New Moon. In our blog on that New Moon I wrote:

Just looking at the chart I get an uneasy feeling. The new Moon itself falls between two fixed stars. Alfard is a poisonous star in the neck of the Water Snake assocciaited with hatred of women. The other star is Adhafera in the Lions Mane, connected with liquid explosives and liquid fire....Terrorisim comes to mind with the nature of these fixed stars. Neptune opposing the New Moon at the reaction point adds spirituallity, Al-Qaeda and friends fits the bill.



In the three weeks since that new Moon, the situation in Afghanistan has severely deteriorated with the ramifications being felt from Washington, to London and Berlin. The UN has ordered a recount of votes due to widespread fraud, which will hold up the election results for months adding political instability to the mix. There has been a spike in the number of US and NATO casualities, with the number of deaths so far this year being the highest of any year since the war began. August having the highest monthly death toll for Americans so far.

In a country were women have been victim to the most misogynistic treatment, the election has been reported as a setback for their cause - AP. The astrology of this Afghanistan, the Taliban and the USA shows the importance of this issue through the fixed stars and aspects of the Moon, Black Moon Lilith and asteroid Lilith.



The major turning point in this war occured on 04 September, when a US jet fired missiles into two fuel tankers which had been hijacked by the Taliban. German troop called in the attack which has now caused a rift between Germany and the USA, and is becoming a mojor election issue for the Germans, who go to the polls on 27 September.


Kunduz Air Strike

Atleast 90 people were killed in this attack and some reports say up to 150, mostly civilians including children. At the time of the attack, transiting Uranus was only 06' from the Afghan Moon. Transiting Pluto was conjunct the Afghan Sun by only 30 seconds. Two more pinpoint transits from the Kunduz air strike to the Afghan chart show how crucial this act is for the future of this country:

MC opposite Vertex (18')
Vertex opposite Saturn (17')

The Vertex is a timing device in event charts. The Afghan Vertex in on the fixed star Algorab, a nasty star that often comes up in terrorist attacks, some young Craoation astrologers I have talked with call this star "Kill or be Killed". It was rising with Mercury at the moment the first plane hit the Twin Towers. So that is the destiny of this country in it's present incarnation under the American wing. The New Moon before the WTC attack was 26leo12, the current one is 27leo32.



The Vertex at the time of the air strike was on one of the four Royal star of ancient Persia, Antares, the rival of Mars. A warlike star associated with destruction and violence. Directly opposite another of these important stars, Alderbaran, is on the Afghan Saturn.

"Aldebaran has been in the sign Gemini since 1286 AD, just around the height of the Christian Crusades against Islam, an interesting indicator of conflict between two world schools of thought. Antares, for the other side in the conflict, went into religious Sagittarius in 1272 AD and showed its superiority, perhaps, since the Crusaders never did dislodge the Saracens." [1]


Afghanistan

The Astrology of the Taliban

The horoscope below shows that the Ascendant for the Taliban is 27can28. The New Moon on 20 August was at 27ca32. So the Taliban has the same rising stars as that were activated by the New Moon. Adhafera is connected to suicide poison, liquid explosives, liquid fire, lying, stealing and crime. In particular, when rising, it gives great military preferment and riches. [2] The other star, Alfard brings up the womens' issues: "poisoned hatred in women....A 'poisoning' is also possible in a relationship between man and woman in marriage. This is especially true in a male chart. If rising: Much trouble, anxiety and loss in connection with estates and building; addicted to women and intemperance." [2]


Taliban

I have added the asteroid and Black Moon Lilith because one of the major grievances the West has with extreemist Islam is the treatment of women. The Taliban chart has BM Lilith conjunct Mars, and asteroid Lilith rising as the action point of a Yod configuration to the Moon Uranus sextile. Maybe some other astrologer will pick up the batton on this one.




The Astrology of the USA

The horoscope for the Taliban can be viewed as an event chart when compared to the USA horoscope. It was the USA who funded and trained the beginnings of this group during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The astrology is really amazing here. What is listed below is like the transits to the USA chart for when the Taliban gained total power in Afghanistan. Precession correction 184'. Just the conjunctions and oppositions is enough to show how close the links are:

Taliban - USA

Sun conjuct MC (01)
Mars conjunct N.Node (53)
Jupiter opposite Jupiter (20)
Saturn conjunct IC (10)
Uranus conjunct Pluto (06)
Chiron conjunct Saturn (03)
BM Lilith conjunct N.Node (63)
ast. Lilith opposite Moon (10)
Fortunae opposite Fortunae (42)


USA

So viewing The Taliban as an event in US history, it is not a good thing for America. The Sun shining the spotlight on the MC, how America is viewed globally. Not a good look these days. Saturn on the IC is very karmic. The future of the USA is now on the line. This air strike is such a major event. The Unicorn Eclipse, the longest total solar Eclipse for the rest of our lives, was conjunct the US Vertex (03') and conjunct the USA Fortunae (00'). USA Pluto is opposite this point on the fixed star Tarazed, in Aquila the Eagle.
