Egypt’s president Mursi upsets Assad regime as he backs the rebel forces.

Mohammed Mursi

A real bombshell in Tehran today as Mohammed Mursi told a summit in Tehran that Assad’s was a oppressive regime and everyone there has a duty to back the uprising in Syria He went on that the current situation of the Syrian people was equivalent to that faced by the Palestinian people. In drawing this line in the sand over the civil war going on in Syria, the Syrian delegation promptly walked out of the conference. This really has opened up a can of worms in the Middle East, and if you look at Mursi’s chart against that of Syria, you can see exactly why.

Fixed Stars – Mercury conjunct to fixed star Alphard

Sea Serpent

With the Sun on the Dragon star Thuban today (30th Aug), Mercury joins the party by making a conjunction with Alphard, the star at the heart of the Hydra, the great sea serpent in the skies which connects in the skies the watery signs of Cancer to Scorpio.

Alphard can be a violent and passionate star, the emotions welling up from the depths of one's soul exploding into the light of day. Mercury brings that passion and desire right to the surface through the expression of communication. Watch for people venting their feelings in an uninhibited way. Secrets from the depths may be revealed (this is a theme which will be picked up tomorrow at the Pisces full Moon) or someone may say something that they may live to regret. If this Mercury at 27 Leo connects with any of your planets, then the need to speak up frankly may be hard to resist.

One other interesting point, the Astrologer's degree is at 27 Leo as well and it is interesting and heartening that people are now taking more and more interest in the secrets and the wonders of Astrology as technology helps us to spread the word. Alphard is helping to bring that knowledge out of the hidden depths into the consciousness of more and more people around the world...

Fixed Stars – The Sun conjunct to fixed star Thuban

dragon

The Sun today (30th August 2012) is now in range of Thuban the fixed star which sits in the constellation of Draco, the Dragon. As you will be aware, Dragons in legend protect treasure and that which is sacred. The Sun is also making a close trine to Pluto in Capricorn the planet of control in the sign of ambition.

Is there something precious that you desperately want for yourself, something that you want to control or have power over? Quite possibly under this influence you can get some personal power for yourself or get the information you need in your life, something special that can change your prospects for the better and fulfil those ambitions.
