Trump’s betrayal / New moon in Libra

The US just committed a very public act of betrayal. On the 9th he makes a fuel deal with Putin. Trump announced that Russia would supply diesel to American and global markets, and Washington temporarily eased sanctions to allow it. This was being used as a means to lower the prices at the pump before the midterms. Again, here we see Trump’s actions represented by the Saturn in Aries. Ruled by a Mars in Leo. He was probably proud of that deal. It was supposed to “mean” something. Opposite the new moon in libra. Ruled by Venus Rx in Scorpio conjunct Mercury that will retrograde soon. The new moon symbolism is rife with lessons about greed and desire. To be an individual means your needs will inevitably come to clash with others. But what happens to one whose needs far outpace what the world can offer ? To what lengths can one go to get what one desires? And what of the collaterals? The moment is ruled by Capricorn and not Aquarius, so it is about material necessities rather than a deal based on ideals.

During the night of 13–14 October, Ukrainian forces reported sudden disruptions to their Starlink/Starshield connections. A new restriction prevented terminals from working reliably when moving faster than approximately 160 km/h, disrupting drones used both to attack Russian targets and to intercept incoming Russian drones. They will deny this.
