Israel-Gaza war explained in 4 charts

Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country bordered by Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, the Red Sea to the south, Egypt to the southwest, the Mediterranean Sea to the west, and the Palestinian territories – the West Bank along the east and the Gaza Strip along the southwest. Tel Aviv is its financial, economic and technological center, while its seat of government is in its proclaimed capital of Jerusalem.

Palestine is not a country. It is recognized as a sovereign state by 136 UN members. It’s an area of the eastern Mediterranean region, comprising parts of modern Israel and the Palestinian territories of the Gaza Strip (along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea) and the West Bank (west of the Jordan River).

Hamas, officially the Islamic Resistance Movement, is a Sunni Islamist political and military organization governing the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian territories. It was founded in 1987 and is dedicated to the establishment of an independent Islamic state in historical Palestine. It opposed the secular approach of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rejected attempts to cede any part of Palestine, and embraced the use of violence, including acts of terrorism, as a means to achieve its goals. Its headquarters are in Gaza City. America, EU, Canada and Australia list Hamas as a terrorist organization.

This explainer references 4 charts: Israel’s Aquarian Age chart, Benjamine Netanyahu’s chart, the United Nations chart and the chart of UN leader Antonio Guterres.

October 7, 2023: Hamas launches a surprise rocket attack on Israel. Palestinian militants breach the Gaza-Israel barrier targeting civilians and killing more than 350 Israel soldiers and police and more than 1,000 Israeli citizens. Around 240 people are taken hostage. Israel declares war.

Israel’s Aquarian Age chart progressed to October 7, 2023

Chart data is January 19, 1881 at 10.56.432pm EET: 31N46; 35E14 (Jerusalem). This chart applies even though the state of Israel was not proclaimed till May 14, 1948.

Progressed Mars – planet of war – at 22 Aries 31 in house 7 (war) was conjunction birth chart Saturn – planet of land – at 22 Aries 45 > peak power date is January 27, 2024.

Progressed ascendant – the Israeli people – at 25 Aquarius 53 in house 5 was square birth chart Pluto – planet of groups and atrocities – at 26 Taurus 29R in house 8 (death).

Progressed Moon at 11 Sagittarius 46 and 22S46 was semisquare birth chart Mercury at 25 Capricorn 44, inconjunct birth chart Neptune in house 7 at 11 Taurus 31R, and parallel progressed Sun at 23N08, birth chart Mercury at 22S53 and birth chart Midheaven (publicity) at 22N20.

The event was timed by transit Mercury square birth chart Mars (house 7) and transit Sun sesquisquare progressed Pluto and transit Mars inconjunct birth chart Pluto (house 8).

Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria have the Mars-Saturn conjunction in house 7 of their Aquarian Age charts.

The immediate future

November 4: Progressed Moon trine birth chart Jupiter (diplomatic moves and aid) starts > peak power date is November 28

November 9: Progressed Moon square birth chart Uranus (surprise moves and unexpected developments) starts > peak power date is December 3   

November 25: Progressed Moon inconjunct progressed Mercury (debate and controversy) starts > peak power date is December 22

November 28: Progressed Moon square birth chart Venus starts > peak power date is December 22

November 29: Progressed Moon inconjunct progressed Jupiter (diplomatic moves) starts > peak power date is December 25

December 20: Progressed Moon semisquare birth chart Sun (world leaders) starts > peak power date is January 14

December 30: Progressed Moon inconjunct progressed Neptune starts > peak power date is January 24, 2024

Benjamin Netanyahu’s chart progressed to October 7, 2023

Chart data is October 21, 1949 at 10.30am EET 32N04; 34E46 (Tel Aviv)

The chart isn’t accurate. Several birth times range from 9.30am to 11.45am. House positions of planets should be approached with reservation.

Sun is in the third – expiation – decanate of Libra – Lupus, a wolf pierced and dying on the spear of Centaurus. It’s sextile Mars, square Jupiter and trine Uranus. Uranus – planet of surprise attacks – in house 7 (enemies) and Pluto in house 8 (death) conjunction Mars – planet of violent attacks in house 9 – place their signatures on the October 7 event.

Progressed positions of planets will be almost accurate.

Progressed Mars at 3 Libra 02 – planet of war, bombs and hate – was square progressed Uranus at 2 Cancer 35R and semisquare birth chart Pluto at 18 Leo 00R.

Progressed Sun at 12 Capricorn 19 was sesquisquare birth chart Mars at 26 Leo 43.

Progressed Venus at 14S30 and 17 Aquarius 42 was parallel birth chart Mars at 14N00 and opposition birth chart and progressed Pluto – planet of coercion, division and kidnapped hostages – at 17 Leo 45R. This high-discord Venus-Pluto opposition has a long time-frame. Progressed Venus goes retrograde at 18 Aquarius 44 in 2031 and remains in orb of an opposition with Pluto till 2040.

The event was timed by transit Mercury conjunction progressed Mars, square birth chart Uranus and semisquare birth chart Pluto.

Progressed discord predominates and has for some time.

Netanyahu’s in legal trouble (house 9) facing corruption charges (Pluto) and during January, February and March 2023 hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested against his administration’s proposed judicial (house 9) reforms (Uranus). Now investigative journalists are digging to learn how the massive October 7 security failure occurred on his watch.

They don’t know that his progressed chart holds all the answers. We categorically state that the events Netanyahu attracts, just like all the events the inhabitants of planet Earth attract, are due to his not-conscious thought-cell activity exerting psychokinetic power on environment. He is responsible for all the events he attracts and astrological research, almost 100 years ago, discovered that a nation’s fortunes are closely linked to the chart/character of its leader.

Netanyahu’s future is looking dark. With Lupus prominent he’s been inclined to use his mental cleverness to selfish advantage and to transgress national and international laws. Driven by avarice and greed he’s grabbed every opportunity to further his own selfish interests by placing others at a disadvantage –  a breach of God’s laws. His failure to protect Israeli citizens will be one of several fatal mistakes. The Hamas attack ignited his lust for war, blood and destruction. Israeli soldiers will suffer a high death toll in the fighting. Lupus writes his fate.

His immediate future – dates are almost accurate

November 26, 2023: Progressed Moon moves to form a conjunction aspect with progressed Uranus > peak power date is December 25 > the high-discord Mars-Uranus square aspect is stimulated

December 1: Progressed Moon sesquisquare progressed Venus and semisquare progressed Pluto start > peak power date is December 30 > the high discord Venus-Pluto opposition aspect is stimulated

December 8: Progressed Moon semisquare progressed Pluto starts > peak power date is January 5

December 12: Progressed Moon square progressed Mars starts > peak power date is January 9 > the high-discord Mars-Pluto semisquare is stimulated

February 2: Progressed Moon conjunction birth chart Uranus starts > peak power date is March 2 > the high-discord Mars-Uranus square aspect is stimulated

The United Nations chart progressed to October 7, 2023

Chart data is October 24, 1945 at 4.45pm EST: 38N53; 77W01 (Washington – District of Columbia)

Data is from Elbert Benjamine who realizing its importance noted it at the time. Recently Sy Scholfield on Astro Databank quotes the Evening Star (Washington, District of Columbia), 25 October 1945, page 4: “The United Nations ... came into formal being at 4:45 pm yesterday. A few pen scratches on diplomatic parchment by Secretary of State Byrnes made the San Francisco Charter ‘a part of the law of nations.’” So it’s presumed that the time given is from the reporter.

An update from Pallas K. Augustine states: “A New York Times archived article reads, ‘[At] Washington, DC... James F. Byrnes, Secretary of State, then signed the protocol at 4:50 o’clock, Eastern standard time, formally attesting that the Charter of the United Nations has come into force.’”

Whatever ... The United Nation’s chart can be rated very accurate.

Progressed Mars at 24 Cancer 32R in house 4 was conjunction birth chart Mars at 23 Cancer 59 and birth chart Saturn at 24 Cancer 45.

Progressed Sun at 20 Capricorn 02 and 21S57 – the ruler of house 7 (war) – was square birth chart ascendant at 20 Aries 05 and parallel birth chart Mars at 22N26 and progressed Saturn at 21N38; and progressed Moon at 20 Aries 08 (conjunction the ascendant) was square progressed Sun in house 10 stimulating the Sun-ascendant square.

The event was timed by transit ascendant sextile progressed Sun (house 7-war) and transit Midheaven inconjunct progressed Mars (war).

The immediate future

November 13: Progressed Moon is square progressed Saturn > end date is December 9 > the Mars-Saturn conjunction is stimulated

December 20: Progressed Moon square birth chart Mars starts > peak power date is January 15, 2024

January 1: 2024: Progressed Moon square progressed Mars starts > peak power date is January 26 > the Mars-Saturn conjunction is stimulated

January 9: Progressed Moon square birth chart birth chart Saturn starts > peak power date is February 4 > the Mars-Saturn stimulation is unrelenting

February 8: Progressed Moon opposition progressed Jupiter (diplomatic moves in house 7) starts > peak power date is March 5

April 30: Progressed Moon semisquare progressed Uranus starts > peak power date is May 26

Discord predominates as humanity grapples with an impossible problem.

Antonio Guterres’s chart progressed to October 7, 2023

Chart data is April 30, 1949 at 12.30am GDT: 9W21; 38N41 (Parede, Portugal)

Progressed Mars – planet of war – at 23 Gemini 20 and 23N37 in house 6 was semisquare birth chart Sun at 9 Taurus 18 in house 4 and parallel birth chart Uranus at 23N38 > peak power date is May 2024 > and parallel progressed Pluto at 23N30.

Progressed Saturn at 11N44 was parallel birth chart Mars at 11N00.

Progressed Mercury at 23N05 in house 7 (war) was parallel birth chart Moon at 22N25 – the cusp ruler of house 7.

And progressed Venus at 13 Leo 56 in house 8 (death) was conjunction birth chart Pluto (drastic events and disunity) at 14 Leo 09.

Progressed Moon at 27 Aquarius 26 in house 2 was square birth chart Moon at 27 Taurus 47 in house 5 > stimulating the Moon-Mercury-house 7 parallel; and trine birth chart Uranus at 27 Gemini 49.

His immediate future

Progressed Moon is parallel birth chart Venus > peak power date is December 31 > the Venus-Pluto-house 8 conjunction is stimulated 

November 2: Progressed Moon opposition birth chart Saturn starts > peak power date is December 1

November 17: Progressed Moon parallel birth chart Sun starts > peak power date is January 29, 2024 > the Sun-Mars semisquare aspect is stimulated

November 19: Progressed Moon sextile birth chart Mars starts > peak power date is December 19

January 20, 2024: Progressed Moon trine progressed Uranus in house 7 starts > peak power date is February 19

February 16: Progressed Moon parallel birth chart Saturn starts > peak power date is April 27

March 7: Progressed Moon opposition progressed Saturn starts > peak power date is April 6

He’s got the toughest job in town trying to get 193 countries to cooperate and get along with each other and his current progressions are not favourable.
