Joint US & South Korea Military Maneuvers to start the 21st.
Each year the US and South Korean military forces hold very in-your-face joint war games towards North Korea and China. North Korea has always viewed these as very inflammatory. Regardless of the recent sabre rattling rhetoric between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the joint military exercises will go ahead as planned.
The military exercise starts on the Monday the 21st, the day of the solar eclipse. The whole of the astrological body is waiting with bated breath on this one, as almost all hold this is the most inauspicious of times to do anything military.
As I mentioned in the previous The Great American Eclipse blog, the solar eclipse falls on top of President Trump’s volatile natal Mars. In the chart for North Korea, it falls right on natal Saturn, which will disrupt North Korea’s international relations even further adding to North Korea’s angst.
Regardless, the North Korean nuclear threat to international peace had to be confronted sooner or later. It seems to have been fated to be the pugnacious Trump administration.
The most precarious timing of a solar eclipse is really when the Sun is exactly conjunct one of the Moon’s Nodes. In this case the Sun conjoined Rahu on the 16th ahead of the actual Sun/Moon conjunction. As the Sun in in sidereal Leo now, it will gain strength quickly and perhaps the most sensitive time is past us since North Korea has since said they will no longer fire missiles into the waters off of Guam. The joint military exercises are scheduled to continue through the 31st, which interestingly coincides with President Trump’s Mars return. Concerning to many is that Mercury is retrograde during this whole time. What snafu could possibly happen with an unbridled hawkish president combined with a paranoid dictator?
All sides must use extreme caution and discernment as any small mistake could lead to escalations and/or dire confrontations.
Tensions will remain high through the first two weeks of September as stationary Ketu is still afflicting the US natal Mars.
