An unlikely quartet of Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have come together in an effort not only to broker a Middle East ceasefire but also to discuss ways of curbing the dominance of Iran and Israel after the war. It may also draw in other Gulf countries if their desalination and power plants continue to be attacked.
Looking across a range of charts what is obvious is that any negotiated settlement reached in the near future – hopefully before this August’s helpful, hopeful, problem-solving eclipse – will not be the end of it. Aggravation and hostilities will break out again in a couple of years towards the end of this decade and a couple of years beyond.
The Israel/Iran 1501 relationship chart shows this April as truly devastating with tr Uranus opposition the composite Neptune. With a slipping and sliding 2027; and a major upset and further rift in 2028 as tr Uranus squares the composite Sun and much worse in 2030/31 with tr Neptune square the outright dislike/warlike Saturn Mars conjunction.
Saudi Arabia, 15 January 1902 3.45am Riyadh, will be facing a blockage along with fear and frustration in 2029 to 2032 as the SA Mars is conjunct their Pluto and opposition Uranus; with a hint before then in 2028 of an opportunistic push which could produce luck but could also go the other way as the SA Uranus square their Sin Jupiter.
Saudi Arabia’s relations with Israel will be high tension this year, evasive and deceitful in 2027; and finding the constant jockeying for the upper hand comes unstuck 2028 to 2031 as tr Neptune undermines their composite Jupiter opposition Pluto. Iran/Saudi – on a downward slide now till 2029, worse in 2030 through more disappointing than aggressive.
Egypt, 14 March 1922 10.43pm Cairo, will be on high alert in 2028 with tr Uranus square its Uranus and opposition its Mars; with SA Uranus square its Sun in 2028 and logjammed by 2029 with SA Sun conjunct Plito. Its relations with Israel with be tense in the extreme and likely to erupt in 2028/29 with tr Uranus square the Neptune Saturn (Moon). Relations with Iran will be jangled and jolted through this year with tr Uranus square the composite Venus, Mars, Uranus into 2027. But it is 2029 when the really serious tensions will be hard to resolve with tr Pluto square the Saturn and tr Uranus square the Pluto.
Turkey, 29 October 2023 8.30pm, Ankara, is panicky in 2027 with failure looming (which could be for a variety of reasons), with confusion and drift in 2027 with SA Sun opposition Neptune; and hugely unsettled towards 2030 with tr Uranus square Uranus, tr Neptune square Pluto and SA Mars square Saturn.
Relations between Turkey/Israel are seriously at odds 2028 to 2031. With Iran there’ll be disappointment and confusion as well as rifts this year and a major upset and possible turnaround come 2030.
Both the United Arab Emirates and Qatar founded in 1971 are having to cope with tr Uranus opposition their Neptune and conjunct Saturn this year and next which will be nerve-wracked and for both tr Uranus moves in to hard aspect their respective Sun in 2027/28 so a phase of major upsets. Qatar looks seriously aggravated and stuck in a conflict across 2030/31 with tr Pluto conjunct its Mars. UAE looks in meltdown come 2031/32 with its Solar Arc Pluto opposing its Saturn and conjunct Neptune.
Relations between Qatar and Iran – undermined this year and under major pressure; tensions erupting in 2028 and more tussles for the upper hand. Qatar and Israel in a morass this year with a faint hope for improvement from August onwards; intense in 2027; worsening in the early 2030s.
The UAE and Israel are at daggers drawn with hostilities rising in 2027/28; and panicked in 2029. USA/Iran – 2027 to 2031 increasing tensions.
It is a volatile region and always has been, plus these countries individually have their own internal problems so some of the above astrology may refer to those. But there seems to be a pattern which certainly fits the Israel charts ongoing wrangles well into the 2030s.
