Pandora’s Box Has Been Opened: Middle East 2025
Astrology of the Protagonists
Israel & USA: Netanyahu & Trump
Three Mars Returns at Once
Is this this the Beginning of the End of Israel?
Holding Zionism to Account: A Planetary Problem (Recent article.)
“To open Pandora’s box” means to unleash all the evils of the world, to start something that will cause many unforeseen problems – that will bring about great troubles or misfortune. Since USA bombed Iran on June 22 – the world watches and waits, facing many unforeseen problems.
Israel flouted international law by attacking Iran on Friday 13th, acting as usual with the impunity of a pariah, apartheid state it has now become. And now the Trump administration has broken USA’s constitutional law by bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities – with no permission from congress.
As Bernie Sanders stated, “grossly unconstitutional” – with no real proof that Iran was developing nuclear weapons; with the added complicity of a compromised IAEA.
Israel has now succeeded in shredding any goodwill that has accrued since the Holocaust days of WWII: As reflected in recent, massive demonstrations in major cities, the world now despises Israel because of its ongoing genocide in Gaza. And unfortunately for Jewish people, the majority of humanity do not distinguish between rabid Zionist ideology and the many Jews who oppose it.
Hence, a massive rise in “anti-Semitic” behaviour – a phrase that has been hijacked from its true meaning: All Arabs in the region are part of the Semitic subrace and branchraces.
The majority of Ashkenazi Jews that populate Israel are mainly white Europeans with more tenuous Semitic roots that are linked to Turkic/Khazar roots. (A highly contentious subject!) Hence, through the current leadership, Israel’s actions toward Palestinians in Gaza are anti-Semitic and racist – in the most virulent sense of the term.
In the majority, modern Iran hails from a branchrace of the first Hindu subrace of our Fifth Rootrace – a much older culture. Indigenous Persians comprise the majority of Iran’s population – 61%, that speak the Indo-European language of Farsi. Others comprise Turkic groups – 18%, Kurds – 10%, Arabs – 2%. In the Middle East, Iran has the second largest population of Jews – about 10,000, a history which goes back to Iran being a refuge for them.
Astrology of the Protagonists
This is a subject the author has written on many times, including Netanyahu’s horoscope. Pundits are saying that these latest events signal the end of Israel, possibly destroyed within the next two years or sooner. Some of Israel’s astrology supports that. Already after 11 days of the conflict, massive damage has been done to Israel’s infrastructure that will take decades to repair.
Thousands of Israeli’s are paying exhorbitant prices fleeing on a flotilla of boats to Cyprus. From there many are heading back to nations from which they originally came, such as Poland. Others are investing heavily in Cyprus real estate. Droves of settlers are escaping (video) towards the Taba border crossing, trying to exit Israel and fly to Europe via Sharm el-Sheik international airport in the Sinai.
Israel’s recent two-yearly Mars return occurred a few days after its first attack on Iran. Surely, Friday 13th was chosen for its notorious shadow reputation and as another fear ingredient in the fat burger of WWIII gaslighting. The degree of deception toward Iran before the attack was breath-taking, the US admin lulling Iran into a false sense of security, ahead of scheduled peace negotiations that weekend.
Israel & USA: Netanyahu & Trump
It has now been revealed that Trump and Netanyahu had worked together for months and the whole plan was known about for a year by both parties. Trump the tricky Gemini, easily manipulated by the shadow-master Nethayahu – but also bought and paid for by the Zionist lobby well before the 2024 election.
Missile damage in Tel Aviv
USA is a Gemini personality and Trump’s Gemini sun falls on USA’s Mars in Gemini. Since these most recent deceptions, Trump has trashed trust not only for himself and his loyal voter base, but for the USA and any future negotiations with foreign nations. Everyone is now taking with a bucket of salt what the Whitehouse says!
Both men have Mars in Leo, arguably one of the most egotistical and arrogant positions for Mars in the zodiac, plus a flair for theatrics, the “drama queen”: Netanyahu’s squares his Mars-ruled Scorpio ascendant, and Trump’s is conjunct his Leo ascendant.
Both have Mars in the exact same 27th degree – whose Sabian symbol is: “The luminescence of dawn in the eastern sky. Keynote: The exalting challenge of new opportunities at the threshold of a new cycle.” Hmmm… with right motivation of course.
Three Mars Returns at Once!
God of war, Mars – was a major factor in the attack on Iran. Both leaders had their Mars return on June 11 – a perfect storm, just two days before Friday 13th, synchronising closely with Israel’s Mars return several days later on June 17. It has been regularly pointed out in other missives, the aspect between Israel’s Taurus sun square to Mars in Leo, is the “lion of Judah” – reflecting its emotionally unintegrated personality, lashing out to Gaza and all its neighbours. This Mars in Leo is expressed by some Israeli’s as loud entitlement and chutzpah.
Israel natal chart
The Mars return horoscope does not bode well for Israel, with a Scorpio rising fixed cross, activated by transiting Uranus until April 2026. In all three Mars return charts, Mars is square to unpredictable, revolutionary Uranus.
Particularly in Trump’s horoscope, as his ascendant is very close to Israel’s natal Mars -by 1.5°. Hence, transiting Uranus will be squaring his Leo ascendant from the 10th house of public/career, and Israel’s Mars in Leo – on and off until April 2026. By that time there may be a clearer picture of where things stand.
Israel’s Mars Return
Leo is a sign of the leader, authority and power – and the first ray of will-power passes through this sign, creating a powerful combination. Hence, all three entities are able to easily draw upon that force – and thirst for it. Mars is known to be impulsive, particularly when in egocentric and passionate Leo – emotionally-driven and seeking self aggrandisement. When this is amplified by equally unpredictable Uranus, reckless behaviour results.
Reckless and irresponsible is how all three entities have been described in the attack upon Iran. Netanyahu appears to have lost any regard for his fellow Israeli’s, leaving them open to attack, vowing as always, like a broken record – revenge.
Mars in Leo can often be dramatic and accusations of “theatre” have been used lately to describe the slight damage of bombing Iran’s reactors, said to be a bluff to draw Iran into a wider Middle East conflict. Or to save some kind of face from a reckless folly. (Or part of an attempted regime change.)
Further factors in Israel’s Mars-return grand-cross are the presence of a Moon-Pluto conjunction in Aquarius – opposite a Leo midheaven, that falls on Israel’s natal Moon-Saturn conjunction in Leo. In the Mars return chart, Pluto squares its own sign – Scorpio rising, and also Venus in Taurus, in the 7th house of relationships.
Is this this the Beginning of the End of Israel?
The combination of all these factors may lead to the serious consequence of Israel triggering its own destruction, due to its initial aggression. Pluto is the destroyer but also the transformer: Israel can choose to transform its relations in the region non-aggressively – or by force. The latter option is their point of least resistance, but blindly persisting with that strategy will likely destroy Israel.
Pundits are saying that the whole exercise was nothing about nuclear power, but aimed to create regime change in Iran, to set political parties against one another. But so far it seems to have united Iran more strongly than ever. So for now, in the spirit of Pandora, its “expect the unexpected” – Trump’s latest statements on Monday:
Sophia, the Almighty Wisdom (Nicholas Roerich)
“The strike was limited in scope and purpose. … The mission was planned and executed in a manner designed to minimize casualties, deter future attacks, and limit the risk of escalation” – followed by, “CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! … It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE.”
It could be that Israel and the US belatedly realised that they were not in any strategic position to continue hostilities. No doubt behind the scenes, Russia and China were making strategic manouevers, and may have communicated as much – for the US to back down. For instance, this report:
“Two long-haul Mahan Air flights from Shanghai and Beijing just touched down in Tehran minutes apart using Airbus A340s. These flights are anything but routine. Mahan Air is under U.S. sanctions for backing the IRGC and has a track record of flying weapons and tech disguised as civilian traffic.” China was particularly concerned at the prospect of Iran closing the Straits of Hormuz, which would have stopped the free flow of 12% of the world’s oil supply, creating exorbitant fuel prices and general havoc.
No one at this current time (June 24), is quite buying Trump’s declaration of peace – in his bid to be the “peace President”. Israel and Iran are still bombing each other. But this could change and flip-flop several more times yet! People chant the mantra of peace, but unless the underlying issues are resolved, peace is a pipedream.
“God loves from whole to parts, but human soul
Must rise from individual to the whole.
Self-love but serves the virtuous mind to wake,
As the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake;
The centre moved, a circle straight succeeds,
Another still, and still another spreads;
Friend, parent, neighbour, first it will embrace;
His country next; and next all human race;
Wide and more wide, th’ o’erflowings of the mind
Take every creature in, of every kind;
Earth smiles around, with boundless bounty blest,
And Heaven beholds its image in his breast.” (Alexander Pope)
