War in Ukraine and the United Nations

The United Nations (UN) was established in October 1945. Its mission and aim is ‘to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character.’

The UN coordinates system-wide approaches to humanitarian relief; provides fast, effective humanitarian responses for people affected by natural disasters and armed conflict; and urges governments and warring parties to act more effectively to protect children.

Under the United Nations charter the Security Council (Saturn) has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It determines when and where a UN peace operation should be deployed.

In 2022 the United Nations is dealing with 44 ongoing conflicts and the humanitarian crises they inevitably spawn and then on February 24, 2022 came Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its inevitable humanitarian crisis.

The Sun section of the Aquarian Age

Aquarius is a democratic sign but under the Sun section representative democracy and totalitarian forms of government cannot persist side by side.

It’s an imperialistic sector and sooner or later, and after great strife, the whole world will adopt, or be forced to accept, a single governmental standard.

Imperialism is a policy, practice or advocacy of extending power and dominion over territories and peoples by direct territorial acquisition through military force or by gaining political and economic control.

On September 19, 2022 progressed Mars in the Aquarian Age chart moves to form a conjunction aspect with progressed Saturn.
