With global tensions continually on the rise, mighty armies ready for combat, millions of warriors trained to fight, huge arsenals of bombs and missiles and nine countries known to possess nuclear weapons you’re likely to think that planet Earth is a time bomb waiting to explode.
Progressed Mars is parallel progressed Pluto in the Aquarian Age chart.
So Mars conjunction Pluto in the sky on February 14, 2024 at 2.06am GMT looks increasingly dangerous. It’s a flashpoint astro-event.
Mars is the planet of military offensives, aggressive force, conflict, violence, explosions, shootings, hate, anger, reckless haste, strife, sexual violence, alcohol, accidents, fires, mechanics, manufacturing and machines. It rules the military, soldiers, militants, hotheads, police, fire fighters, first responders and surgeons.
Mars is about warfare and the world is its battleground. It’s a rough and tumble cowboy with an aggressive mindset and when the anger kicks in and the critical thinking brain cells cease to function it can go berserk.
Pluto is the planet of drastic events, groups, the United Nations, terrorist groups, crime networks, cyber-crime gangs, hit squads, nuclear weapons, division, disunity, coercion, threats, intimidation, cooperation, teamwork, crime, death threats, mass killings, assassination, kidnapping, propaganda, misinformation, radio, television, trolls and hackers.
Pluto’s mass rallies attract hundreds of thousands of people; and its dictators, by controlling the information flow, keep their citizens passive and atomized.
And the Mars-Pluto conjunction on February 14 warns of searing tensions and escalating conflict during its forecast period January 25 to March 4, 2024.
It forecasts one, two maybe three history making events of international significance: and the current political-conflict situation here on Earth gives it context and favors a certain type of Mars-Pluto event occurring.
Mars and Pluto are square Moon, conjunction Venus, square Jupiter and sextile Neptune so the events they attract will adversely impact civilians (Moon), women (Venus) and finances and trade (Jupiter).
A flashpoint here on Earth is a critical situation that has the potential to erupt in sudden violence.
Two years ago on February 24, 2022, with Mars conjunction Pluto in the sky, Russia invaded Ukraine and the fighting rages on.
In 2024 Armenia and Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus region are conflicting.
In Africa there’s conflict in Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, The Democratic Republic of Congo and Mozambique and Niger, Mali and Algeria are led by military dictators (Mars-Pluto).
In Myanmar there’s civil war with anti-junta resistance groups (Pluto) fighting the military junta’s armed forces.
On December 31, 2023 North Korea vowed to launch three new spy satellites, build military drones, and boost its nuclear arsenal in 2024 as leader Kim Jong Un said US policy is making war inevitable.
And on January 5, 2024 North Korea fired more than 200 rounds of artillery shells into the sea near a tense maritime border which South Korea called ‘an act of provocation’.
In Mexico the southwestern state of Guerrero is plagued with violence; in Haiti hundreds of armed gangs (Mars-Pluto) control half the country; and in South America Guyana and Venezuela are contesting the Essequibo region that borders both countries.
And Taiwan, in the western Pacific Ocean (roughly 100 miles [160 km] off the coast of southeastern China), remains the biggest flashpoint for the US and China.
But the major global flashpoint in February 2024 is the Middle East where a cauldron of raging fury is very inclined to see the war in Gaza erupt into a wider regional conflict.
Hezbollah, in Lebanon, poses a huge danger to Israel with hundreds of thousands of missiles, rockets and soldiers. And Houthi militants in Yemen can fire missiles at Israel and attack Red Sea shipping vessels and tankers disrupting global trade.
Iran is isolated but its nuclear program can ignite crisis. It’s a patron of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis; and Syria, which borders Israel, has become a transit country for Iranian weapons and a refuge for militias loyal to Tehran which threaten the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights with rocket and missile fire.
In 2024 cyberwarfare can wreak havoc. It’s usually waged against government and military infrastructure. Hackers launch attacks on computer networks using weapons like viruses, Trojans, spyware and worms.
Mars conjunction Pluto forecasts hell on Earth; a drastic international crisis; warfare; a broader regional conflict in the Middle East; Israel and Hezbollah at war; fury and polarization; division and disunity; aggressive moves by dictators and other maniacs; conflict on the Korean Peninsula; a military accident; a nuclear weapons test; a terror attack; a hate crime; a gruesome crime/massacre; a mass shooting; mob violence; rogue policing; accidents involving groups of people; a cyber attack; and heat and fire in the global south.
