Massacres in Syria

Bosnia: concentration camps in the 1990s

What's happening in Syria is very, very nasty. It's reminding me too much of Bosnia in the early nineties, when the UN decided not to intervene and the result was horror.

In June, I wrote a piece about Syria which is accurate. Please click here to read it. It contains two charts – one for the Assad regime and one for Syrian independence – and explains the background.

Right now, Mars is retrograding through the 10th house of government in the Assad regime's chart. This is in Virgo, the regime is "cleaning up". Pluto, the oppressor, is also in that house natally. We are going to see more violence from Assad as long as Mars is in this part of the chart. That is until mid-June. They may appear to be winning.

However, there is an important transit taking place which may augur well – in the long run. Neptune has just swept past the regime's North Node on the IC and into hopeful Pisces. Let's pray he sweeps away the regime's foundations. In other words, it's actually "all over bar the fighting", but the fighting could go on a long, long time.

The question then for the people of Syria will be who's in charge? Foreign intervention could also last a lot longer than anyone bargained for.

With Uranus, the planet of revolution, in the first sign, Aries and still opposing the Assad regime's natal Pluto, it could be time for a another new chart for one of the world's oldest civilisations.
