Saturn sextile Pluto
Saturn will makes sextile to Pluto next week, the last time this happened was Dec 26 2012 and the aspect repeated in May and September of the next year. Aside from the endless wars, Afghanistan, Syria etc. etc. the didn’t seem to be anything particular which coincided with the aspect, so I had a look at the chart for the USA, which is currently fighting an illegal and proxy war, for Israel, against Iran.
Notice Pluto the chart ruler, conjunct the IC, the end of the matter or as I like to call it, ‘old sins leave long shadows’.
Here is the natal chart for the USA, the Sibley chart.
Notice Jupiter the chart ruler, at 5’55 Cancer, square the transiting Saturn and inconjunct (150′) transiting Pluto. This is an interesting aspect, as inconjuncts are aspects of ‘blindness’ the two planets cannot see one another, unlike a square where they can. The USA Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which perhaps has protected the USA, however the Pluto inconjunct removes that protection, a secret enemy, as in the natal chart Pluto, rules the 12th house of self-undoing. Notice the event chart Part of Fortune is exactly conjunct the Sibley Mars, co-ruler of the 12th house. Mars is in the 7th house of open enemies and in the duplicitous sign of Gemini, as they say, there is no honour amongst thieves. Certainly, recently the president has ‘changed sides’ this is no longer an ‘America First’ administration, and his ‘allies’ cautious and tired of being insulted by him have declined to join the war. Of course, Uranus, the planet of violence and revolution is highlighted this year as Uranus moves into Gemini. It will make the exact conjunction to the USA Uranus in late July 2027.

My experience of these major aspects, especially to the transpersonal planets, is that the year before the transit becomes exact there is a dissolving or dissolution in preparation. Perhaps that is what we are seeing now…
What of Israel?
Pluto, the chart ruler, is in the 3rd house of neighbours (Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria). Uranus, widely conjunct the 7th house of open enemies, is in an almost exact opposition to Lilith (partile). Enemies (ruler of the 7th) are shown by Venus warmongering in Aries. The Moon in boastful, dominating Leo is applying to a trine of the Venus. The 4th, showing the end of the matter is ruled by Jupiter strong in Cancer in the 8th house of death, just coming off a conjunction of Fortune, which perhaps shows their recent military successes.
What of aspects to Israel’s natal chart?
Interestingly, the Moon in Leo (the chosen people?) widely conjunct Pluto (destruction of Palestine?) is opposite Pluto at 5’09 Aquarius, transiting their 4th house of the ancestors and land. The Moon in the Saturn Pluto chart is at 16’34 Leo exactly conjunct Israel’s natal Saturn at 16’25. Saturn in the natal chart rules land, ancestors and the father (Yahweh?). The chart ruler is a strong Venus in Cancer, transiting Saturn is separating from a square now, as well as a trine to its Leo Moon. Transiting Pluto is inconjunct the natal Venus, the same aspect of ‘blindness’ as the USA Jupiter Pluto aspect. Certainly, American ex-military talking heads on social media all warn of another ignominious defeat for the USA, Israel’s proxy.
Notice also, Israel has Mercury, ruler of the 12th of self undoing, at 10’21 Gemini, conjunct the bellicose USA chart Uranus at 8’55. Next year then, for both countries, may be pivotal. Uranus disrupts, shows violence, revolution and cruelty and always the unexpected ‘cat among the pigeon’ moment.
