there were usa and uk attacks on yemen in the early hours this morning -yemen time 230am.. the sidereal chart below is for the location sanaa, yemen, although the attacks were spread out in a few different locations...



this is a new moon chart with the moon applying to pluto, while sun applies to pluto... is this a new beginning of things to expand the ''rules based order''? maybe... interesting how early scorpio rising - moon rules the 9th here, and mars is the planet rising before sun, which rules the ascendant and in the 2nd.. its a nocturnal chart.. sun squares the nodal axis and mars forms a fairly exact trine to jupiter in the 6th with a mutual exchange between mars and jupiter..

The NM chart set for Sana'a in Yemen has Saturn on the MC in Pisces (Ocean; Sea etc). The degree is at 5 Pisces featuring a sabian degree primarily about ''Commerce'' in a symbolic portrait of a ''Public Market'' so Saturn here can be inferred to be an attempt to stop, prevent, or at least to slow down movement (Saturn) enough by using its vicinity to the so-called 'Choke Point' to frustrate free flowing trade routes running successfully.

Eris the asteroid of discord and mischief is trine Mercury.

Eris is exactly trine Mercury in the Winter Solstice chart so lets look at the Mercury Station chart set for Greenwich.

It has Pluto on the MC so one assumes this is all part of a much larger picture with Pluto usually pointing to a power struggle. With Uranus also conjunct the Asc it looks like a struggle that will carry on for some time.

Mercury-Mars square the Nodes in Late Jan could well augur a showdown so this warning shot looks like being ignored. Not perhaps what is usually expected in the skirmishes?

Mercury Station chart has Pluto conjunct the MC (Power Struggle ) so this problem should peak around late Feb to early March as the MC moves to conjunct the anaretic Pluto.

Mars conjunct Ixion 4 cp 37'36" in the prenatal lunation adds further fuel to the fire with Mars worryingly ''out of bounds'' so as far as unpredictable (although I AM predicting), unstable, potentially violent days go I would probably choose the Mercury-Mars and Mars-Pluto conjunction to underline when Mars is at 0 or 1 degree ingress into Aquarius. So that is on Feb 13th to Feb 14th - so easy to remember then. Err..Happy Valentines Day!

And finally the Aries Point! And as usual it is spot on!
