Those of you who read my blog will be aware of my past stories about the Neptune - Saturn opposition and just how destructive it is (you can click on the link to read the post). Today we woke up to a news story that confirms many of our worst fears about the unrest in the world - specifically North Korea where they successfully tested a Nuclear bomb. Actually Kim Jong Il tested a nuclear bomb, and it is his Birth Chart that is relevant today as I look at this subject Astrologically.

The highlights here are that Kim Jong Il is experiencing his own Saturn Return (actually his second). Remember 2004-5 when GW Bush experienced his second Saturn Return? His approval ratings began to hit the floor at that time. Kim Jong Il’s natal Saturn is conjunct Natal Pluto indicating that any dark angry or power/control impulses in his nature are about as extreme as they could possibly be. Neptune is opposing HIS Saturn as well as the Transiting Saturn which is why he is a key player in the Astrological world drama that is taking place now - and for another full year. Saturn Opposed to Neptune is very hard on life, and shortens the lifespan of gadgets and living things. With Kim Jong Il’s Saturn being opposed by Neptune, we can make it a safe bet that he has nothing but the worst intentions with his Nuclear development program and should expect that he fully intends to use these bombs to kill people.

Also Jupiter is squaring Saturn, as well as Squaring Kim Jong Il’s natal Saturn, indicating a 3rd act Star Wars style battle between Galactic forces. The better forces of the world always overcome; but at what price first? Jupiter against Kim Jong Il’s Saturn and Pluto only enforce his rage. Jupiter brings the World law into play in it’s attempts to put him in check - but he is unlikely to behave. And because he has a double Saturn influence, he can and will fight dirty. But this is a two way sword and other aspects indicate that his life is in danger, particularly in early November (which, by the way is a horrible month Astrologically). I doubt we will hear about it in the news but I expect the US (and others) will deploy secret forces to ‘take out’ the problem person.

But if he does make it though the fall, then his rage and agenda reach a dangerous crisis point by early February. So Kim Jong Il might not survive for too long to continue his agenda, but we know he is not alone and that he has allies. This is where the problems get thick and tricky. And I expect the next two months to be filled with dramas that we are not really prepared for, and which can’t all be traced just to North Korea - although this is a key player. Certainly our safety will seem more comfortable if he is out of the picture. But the real problem here is the Pandora’s box that the Nuclear proliferation opens, since it is not a stretch to take such weapons power and dispurse it all over the volatile Middle East. So even if the threat of North Korea is contained, we are not out of the Astrological woods with Saturn and Neptune for another year, and that bears preparation.

I don’t like to be a doomsday writer, but I do think we all need to be prepared to see things that we all hoped we would never have to see in our lives. and I also think now is the time to strengthen community ties so that should the worst happen, we have our network and a strategy in place to care for our families and loved ones. If Katrina taught us anything, it is that the Government is neither prepared nor inclined to take care of all it’s citizens. We MUST be prepared ourselves. And I see this as a wake up call to anyone who has not yet thought through a plan and a strategy for coping with worst case scenarios - should they come to pass.
We all need to pray for the best, but prepare for the worst.
