It's difficult to be objective about the general or global effects of passing astrological configurations, such as the current Mars/Saturn Conjunction. It is perhaps impossible to view it from anything other than one's own highly subjective and prejudiced angle; but a Mars/Saturn Conjunction is conspicuous as astrological configurations go, because it's a meeting of forces that can usher in dramatically problematic circumstances. It's the kind of thing that makes astrologers just a little nervous... and watchful.
When I started writing this blog entry, a minute or two ago, I had not yet made the following connection:
A few days ago, on the 25th of June, I referred to this current Mars/Saturn Conjunction in my blog entitled “The Rogue Trio- Mars, Saturn and Pluto”, and there I recalled the fact that in May 2002, not long after a Mars/Saturn Conjunction (which marked a period of intense friction between India and Pakistan), Pakistan had “tested” some long range missiles to send a threatening message to India.
I quote below, from CNN.com, an article that was updated minutes ago:
“Iran test-fired medium- and long-range missiles Thursday, a day after the Islamic republic launched the long-range Shahab-3 and other weapons during exercises in the Persian Gulf region, state-run media said. The tests are Iran's response to what it describes as threats from the United States and Israel. They also dramatize the ongoing saber-rattling between Israel and Iran...”
The facts seem to speak for themselves.
It will be interesting to see what occurs about a week into August 2008, when Mars arrives at an Opposition to Uranus, and then a Square to Pluto around mid August...
