Greenland<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need Greenland.\u00a0 And the world needs us to have Greenland, including Denmark.\u00a0 Denmark <\/em>has to have us have [sic] Greenland.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Donald Trump<\/p>\n

American Vice President J.D. Vance paid an unrequited and uninvited visit to Greenland this week.\u00a0 Not content with bidding for Canada as a 51st<\/sup> state, President Trump would like to annexe Greenland, presumably as his 52nd<\/sup> state.\u00a0 As with Ukraine, he is interested in its potential mineral wealth.\u00a0 It seems contradictory that someone trying to keep immigrants out of his own country, feels able to justify taking over populations in other countries.<\/p>\n

Greenland, with its capital at Nuuk, is the world\u2019s largest island, and has its own culture (such as music) and identity, which owes nothing to America.\u00a0 Writing in the Observer this morning, Sarah Ditum explains that it was originally inhabited by Norsemen hunting walruses and trading ivory.\u00a0 Then the population vanished mysteriously, but its current population arrived about 800 years ago.\u00a0 She describes the terrain: \u201chard black volcanic rocks rear up from the shallow turf\u201d.\u00a0 Most residents of Greenland are Inuit.<\/p>\n

The solar eclipse at 9 degrees Aries this weekend apparently was viewable up to 90%, and the northern lights were spectacular, too, nature marking the importance of this time for the country.<\/p>\n

Greenland’s Chart<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Both the Greenland and the Denmark charts are problematic, due to their unusual history.\u00a0 Denmark was granted final control of Greenland at the Treaty of Kiel in 1814.\u00a0 In 1941 the US occupied Greenland defending it against possible invasion by Germany.\u00a0 After the Second World War, the US developed a geopolitical interest in Greenland and offered to buy it from Denmark, but the offer was rejected.<\/p>\n

The astrological resource \u201cWorld Horoscopes\u201d by Nicholas Campion omits a chart for Greenland altogether, and says of the chart for Denmark \u201cIt is not possible to establish a date for the beginning of the Danish Kingdom, which made an appearance upon the historical stage during the tenth century\u201d.\u00a0 But it does give a date for that country\u2019s chart, for the Liberal constitution of 5 June 1849 Copenhagen 12.15 pm.<\/p>\n

For Greenland\u2019s more recent history, I have chosen to work with a chart dated 21st<\/sup> June 2009, which was when home rule was replaced with self rule.\u00a0 This gave Greenland a Sun at 0 degrees Cancer, which is very patriotic and has the desire to be autonomous.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a particularly important time for Greenland imminently because its Sun at 0 degrees Cancer will be squared this year by Neptune\u2019s transit into Aries, and Saturn\u2019s transit into Aries.\u00a0 The issue is not going to go away in a hurry.<\/p>\n

JD Vance\u2019s Visit<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Marina Hyde wrote in the Observer this morning about the background to JD Vance\u2019s visit, which is worth quoting:<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally it was announced that the second lady was going to take one of her sons, immerse herself in various local events \u2013 she\u2019s apparently simply fascinated by Greenland\u2019s culture \u2013 and attend the famous Avannaata Qimussersua dog sled race.\u00a0 Instead, it became her husband instead of her son, and the Vances were only going to a military facility\u2026Meanwhile the Vance kid had to stay at home and go to school, instead of skipping it to enjoy a taxpayer-funded trip to a country his dad and friends are openly trying to annex.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

After protests from the population of Greenland, the visit was scaled down, and JD Vance was left with a small audience for his speech.\u00a0 As with his hectoring in the Oval Office at Zelensky, he sharply criticized the Danish government for neglecting its duties towards Greenland, saying they had “under-invested in Greenland’s security architecture”, while producing no evidence.\u00a0 Physically, Vance has a Scorpionic appearance, possibly via his Pluto sextile the Ascendant in his natal chart, but his chart shows a double Leo (Ascendant and Sun in Leo) which has become twisted into the Bully Archetype, and is conjunct Trump\u2019s own Ascendant in Leo.\u00a0 So he is a strong representative for his President.<\/p>\n

He has strong links to the Greenland chart\u2026 natally his Uranus sits on Greenland\u2019s I.C. which is unsettling for Greenland\u2019s security (the I.C. in a chart represents security).\u00a0 He has a strange fascination for the place, and may even have lived there in a previous life.\u00a0 Given his wife\u2019s apparent fascination for the place also, they may both have lived together there!<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s powerful Mars at 26 Leo trine the Galactic Centre exactly opposes Greenland\u2019s Neptune\/Jupiter: his sense of brute strength versus (opposing) the optimism and spirituality inherent in their nation.<\/p>\n

On the day of the visit Friday 28th<\/sup> March, Chiron was square to Mars (a wounding for Greenland, an embarrassment for Vance).\u00a0 For Vance, transiting Pluto is currently trine his natal North node, emboldening him, in his 10th<\/sup> House of world perspective.\u00a0 It\u2019s a serious matter, when you contemplate that if Trump was removed from his post, Vance would take over as president. \u00a0Jupiter at this time was squaring Greenland\u2019s natal Saturn (a foreign body trying to invade its boundary).<\/p>\n

It was also an important day for Greenland in its internal politics, for they elected a new coalition government, headed by Jens-Frederik Nielsen.\u00a0 Nielsen is perfect for the role, as he was born with the Sun in his chart exactly conjunct that of Greenland.\u00a0 So as I said for Greenland also applies for Nielsen:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an important time imminently [for him too] because his Sun at 0 degrees Cancer will be squared this year by Neptune\u2019s transit into Aries, and Saturn\u2019s transit into Aries.\u00a0 The issue is not going to go away [he has much to work with this year].\u00a0 For the visit and the election day Jupiter sextiled his natal Venus\/Mars, which seems favourable for him, and hopefully for the country.\u00a0 As with Mark Carney, there needs to be strong leadership for his country.<\/p>\n

Denmark<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Denmark has also been firm about holding on to Greenland, and their leadership will also need to be strong.\u00a0 I have used the chart for the Liberal constitution 5 June 1849 Copenhagen 12.15 pm.<\/p>\n

Denmark and Trump\u2019s Mercuries are exactly conjunct with each other, at 8 degrees Cancer: Donald will feel confident that he can talk them round, and that there is an understanding between them.\u00a0 Denmark\u2019s Uranus is exactly square Trump\u2019s Venus, possibly pointing to a significant estrangement, however.\u00a0 Denmark\u2019s Moon at 9 degrees Sagittarius and Vance\u2019s \u00a0natal Uranus are conjunct, and directly influenced at this time by the solar eclipse, which could be significant long-term over the next six months, for both parties.<\/p>\n

Putin<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In Russia, Putin has seemingly endorsed Donald Trump\u2019s interest in Greenland.\u00a0 In Murmansk, he vowed to “strengthen Russia’s global leadership in the Arctic”.\u00a0 He is quite comfortable with Trump\u2019s ambitions for territorial aggrandisement \u2013 it chimes nicely with his attempted takeover of Ukraine and its mineral resources.\u00a0 He said:<\/p>\n

“These plans have deep historical roots. And it’s clear that the US will continue to systematically pursue its geo-strategic, military-political and economic interests in the \u0410rctic\u2026As for Greenland this is a matter for two specific countries. It has nothing to do with us.”<\/p>\n

Trump clothes his ambitions in his would-be Nobel Peace Prize-winning role:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need Greenland.\u00a0 Very importantly, for international security, we have to have Greenland\u2026[there are] Chinese and Russian ships all over the place.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Are they carving up the Arctic in a new world order? They seem to be in competition with China, in that regard.\u00a0 Climate change, which does not interest the President, renders the area more accessible at this time.<\/p>\n

It seems, with America slapping tariffs on goods from all over the world, and wanting to control Canada, Mexico, Panama, Ukraine and Greenland, there is likely to be a concerted backlash, and the overall aim to \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d could result in the reverse of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreenland is part of the Danish kingdom.\u00a0 That is not going to change\u2026We in the kingdom would really like to work together with the Americans on defence and security.\u00a0 We want that in Ukraine, we want that in Europe, and of course we also want that when it comes to the high north.\u00a0 But Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Mette Frederiksen, the Danish Prime Minister<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lesson the Vances should take from their ill-fated expedition is that Greenland doesn\u2019t care about human ambition and desires\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Sarah Ditum, The Observer 31\/3\/25<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Forget whether I said last week was a profound week! This here week is a profound week!\u00a0 There are two major features taking place, and one is a once-in-fourteen year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

In the early hours of this morning (30th<\/sup> March), Mercury Retrograde entered Pisces, from Aries.\u00a0 As with Venus\u2019 retreat to Pisces last week, there may be something you neglected to do when Mercury was in Pisces in the second half of February: you may need to dot the i\u2019s and cross the t\u2019s, or close some loopholes, but in the detail of communication.\u00a0That is an extra challenge when Mercury is in Pisces, the \u201cwoolly thinker\u201d.\u00a0 You can blame some brain fog on Mercury in Pisces!\u00a0 This placement brings the mental focus<\/em> on to compassion, as applied to the most vulnerable in our society.\u00a0 The focus in the world right now is very much focussed on confusion in the world order, and on changing finances.\u00a0 It is a good time to apply your mind to wider perspectives and solutions generally, and those that can turn compassion into practical action.\u00a0 Mercury will remain in Pisces until the 16th April.<\/p>\n

Following that ingress, and still in the early hours today, Mercury was conjunct with Neptune at 29 degrees Neptune.\u00a0 In our dreams (in the U.K.), we were clocking the final hours of Neptune\u2019s 14-year sojourn through Pisces.\u00a0 This conjunction can link you mentally with your spiritual sources, and provide the inspiration much needed at this time. It is a good time to ask for guidance, though you may have to sift reality from illusion, even in the guidance you receive.<\/p>\n

Neptune<\/span> enters<\/span> Aries<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At exactly 12 Noon \u2013 did you notice? \u2013 Neptune entered Aries.\u00a0 What were you doing at the time?\u00a0 At the beginning of this unprecedented year of change, the North Node entered Pisces from Aries (it moves backwards), and a succession of major planetary changes was promised (by astrologers).\u00a0 This is the first of the planetary changes, and will be followed by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and of course with Pluto newly entrenched in Aquarius. It\u2019s a big deal.\u00a0 With the Solar Eclipse yesterday, and world events seemingly spiralling chaotically, we are wondering what to expect next, and how we are to keep centring ourselves in the new realities.<\/p>\n

Here at least is a chance to contemplate the complexity of today\u2019s change of sign.\u00a0 Neptune in Pisces was on home territory: confusion, complexity and illusion \u2013 it brought the rise of A.I.\u00a0 That is something difficult to negotiate, but which seems bound for our attention and mastery, even those of us who are not technologically minded.<\/p>\n

Neptune went into Pisces on 5th<\/sup> April 2011, which ushered in a 14-year \u201cEra of Collective Unconscious\u201d – hopes that the compassion quotient would rise fell short of expectation.\u00a0 Neptune in Aries is almost the antithesis of Neptune in Pisces in many ways: it represents the self-awareness leading to self-assertion rather than victimhood.\u00a0 It represents the \u201cenough is enough\u201d attitude of the populace.\u00a0 There are signs that the extreme right wing and authoritarian governments are starting to experience a backlash, e.g. in Turkey.\u00a0 So Neptune in Aries is about divesting yourself from illusion and moving towards personal emancipation.\u00a0 We are at the beginning of this particular journey.<\/p>\n

There is, then, plenty to think about, in the middle of the week, so you will forgive perhaps the Universe for not providing aspects again until Friday.<\/p>\n

But what<\/em> an aspect it provides on the afternoon of Friday (4th<\/sup> April): Saturn sextile Uranus.\u00a0 You may have contemplated the changes of the early days of Neptune in Aries, and have a chance now to balance (sextile) the old (Saturn) with the new (Uranus).\u00a0 It\u2019s a major aspect and enables stabilization.\u00a0 This is a time when you can do something for yourself which is constructive.\u00a0 You may have a joint venture with someone which is new and innovative, but need a steadying force.<\/p>\n

In the late evening, we have another sextile: that between Mars and Uranus.\u00a0 This is more dynamic, as though you have started a re-centring process and are ready for action.\u00a0 This aspect especially favours engineering related activities, but that also includes social engineering.\u00a0 That may extend to science in general \u2013 there is an article in the Observer this morning about a row over CERN\u2019s Hadron Collidor (ambitions for its enlargement), so there may be further developments around that.\u00a0 The Journal Nature<\/em> has warned \u201ca battle is under way for the future of particle physics\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 This is potentially a major\u00a0 issue coming up.\u00a0 Electricity and Astrology are other areas which can be stimulated by the combination of these two planets.\u00a0 Cars, mechanics, mechanical goods and household appliances may receive a boost or a renewal.<\/p>\n

We finish, on Saturday (5th<\/sup>), with a constructive trine between Mars and Saturn, so there is a lot of emphasis late in the week on trying to get things sorted.\u00a0 This favours practical action, and works that are deliberately planned and executed.\u00a0 Hard work can pay off.<\/p>\n

Happy Mother\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n
