On 7<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/sup><\/span> October 2012, the warrior planet Mars packed its bags and set off on its travels enters the fiery zone of Sagittarius. Mars<\/span><\/span> will be setting off at pace and gallop around the Sagittarian plains until it moves off again into the somber earthy terrain of Capricorn on 16th<\/sup> November 2012. During it\u2019s stay and stay is never a good word to use around Sagittarius, let\u2019s just say, during it\u2019s \u2018canter\u2019 through this fire sign we will encounter a few hurdles, landmarks and milestones along the celestial and terrestrial highways and byways. For example, there will be a total eclipse of the Sun (Scorpio Solar Eclipse – Path of Totality<\/a>), Mercury will go Retrograde (Mercury in Sagittarius – Postcards from an Optimistic Mind<\/a>) and there will be a midterm election in the U.S.A. (U.S. Presidential Elections – Obama vs Romney<\/a>) <\/span><\/span>Firewalls to the ready everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

As Mars enters Sagittarius we all enter the open plains for 40 days and 40 nights now looking for the positive, yearning for independence and demanding the truth.<\/span>
Mars love a good fight, and whilst it was in Scorpio (<\/span><\/span>Mars in Scorpio – What Lies Beneath<\/a><\/span><\/span>) some of the weapons used were the twin barrels of control and intimidation. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The Scorpio Martian muscles were flexed and felt through global events such as the ongoing bloody tragedies in Syria and Libya. <\/span>Relations between Hungary and Armenia turned black as Armenia broke off relations with Hungary for allowing Azerbaijan to extradite a man convicted of murdering an Armenia officer with an axe in cold blood while he slept. What made it worse was on<\/span> his return he was pardoned, promoted, given an apartment and 8 years back pay and treated as a national hero. Azerbaijan also holds its gas supplies to certain parts of Eastern Europe to ransom and this ‘Safarov case’ may have to be negotiated by the EU in order to secure peace <\/span>in the Caucasus, very close to Turkey and Iran and on<\/span> the border of Europe and Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Various economies, budgets and fiscal polices were announced in Portugal, prompting resentment and protests that also occurred in Spain and Argentina. Meanwhile Brazil cut its energy tax, and the Constitutional court in Germany gave its approval to the European Stability Mechanism. <\/span>Elections in Angola were won again by the dominant ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) but the oppositions suggesting that the results were unfair again setting up a potential time-bomb. <\/span>
Grips were continually being tightened as Hilary Clinton designated the Haqqani network, an Afghan militant group with ties to the Taliban, a ‘foreign terrorist organisation’ setting up sanctions and blacklisting with probable retaliations. Cuba increased a duty on excess baggage shooting prices sky high. In Egypt the newly elected Muslim Brotherhood wants to push through tough policing powers as just the start of ‘new measures’. <\/span>
Over in Sri Lanka two jobs for \u2018hangman\u2019 were advertised by the prison service as crime rates increase but women were asked not to apply as their emotions may get the better of them, despite the fact that no one has been executed for over 3 decades. <\/span>
Grips were lightened a bit as Kosovo celebrated the end of supervised independence and Myanmar gave amnesty to 514 prisoners. U<\/span>nder Mars in Scorpio\u2019s watch these political land-mines waited to be activated or diffused and the list continued relentlessly to pile up. <\/span>In Hong Kong the pro-China Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, remained the leading party in the coalition but got it knuckles rapped as protestors showed intolerance to a back-tracking of human rights, damaging<\/span> scandals, incestous relationships between officials and business, pollution and covert interventions from Beijing damaging public trust. <\/span>Old wounds opened and tensions also started to mount between the countries in the South China Seas, especially China again, Japan and subsequently dragging in the USA.

Now with Mars spurred on and racing in with Sagittarius, tensions have already escalated, there is violence between Syria and Turkey which unfortunately lead to fatalities and political rhetoric has increased in decibels. Turkey’s Cardinal Mars is at 7 degrees Libra and it’s Ascendent also occupies a Cardinal point, 7 degrees Cancer. Turkey’s Prime Mister is pro-Islamic but is also aligning his country with western democracy as he has seen it’s economy grow. No surprise then that reported on the 11th October 2012 Turkey forced a Syrian plane flying over its territory on its way from Moscow to Damascus to land at Ankara. First reports said that some military communications equipment and\/or missile parts was then taken away from the plane in an effort to stop any assistance being made to the Syrian regime. What’s being stated now is that there were munitions on a passenger plane obviously a violation but no ideas as to how Turkey got this information in the first place. <\/span>
We are seeing and will continue to see many borders issues with either borders opening, closing or related transgressions. Syria announced on 13th October 2012 that it was banning Turkish civilian flights over its territory in retaliation for Turkey’s actions intercepting munitions from Russia on the civilian flight to Syria. Turkeys Prime Minister has also rebuked the UN security council for inaction.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

This incident has exposed Russia’s links with Syria and Moscow has also already issued formal complaints about the action. Russia is a key supplier of arms to Syria and has also vetoed the imposition of international sanctions, including an arms embargo, against Syria by the UN Security Council. President Putin has postponed his visit to Turkey, due to have taken place this month. He has had a lot of adverse publicity anyway due to the Pussy Riots Trial just recently and now with the release of one of the members, Yekaterina Samutsevich after her lawyer showed that she did not take part in the performance at all he is looking very heavy handed.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

He reaffirmed the jail sentence on the three women Pussy Riot protesters was right as <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
‘<\/i><\/span>it is inadmissible to undermine our moral values, our moral foundations, to destroy the country.’<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In the Netherlands a flimsy coalition was formed lead by Mark Rutte\u2019s VVD party, opposing austerity measures and adding further instability as the country rebels against Angela Merkel’s heavy handed proposals and shows a preference for Francois Hollande’s untried suggested fiscal boosts.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

Greece again responded to further austerity measures with violent protests as Angela Merkel visited the country. Merkel is being blamed for trying to control the Greek economy and subjected to extreme jibes. She is holding onto to the ideal of a united Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Greece however has recently been labelled a ‘kleptrocracy’ with accusations of rich Greeks depositing at least a trillion euros in Swiss Banks and the EU it is suggested is being maligned for not making the bail out fast enough. Greece is also accused of accepting no responsibility for the accumulated losses of several generations of self-indulgent Greeks who avoided any responsibility including paying tax. Those who claim to pay<\/span> tax don’t know how to repair their economy now aggressively drawing comparisons to <\/span>the nazi regime during the protests. The Mars in Sagittarius stampede for justice will continue. The Sagittarius Mars will need to be right both sides of the line.<\/span>
