Hamas’s deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri has been killed in a blast in Lebanon’s capital Beirut where he lived, an event celebrated in Israel though greeted with trepidation internationally lest it sets off a reaction from Hezbollah, also based in Lebanon.
Al-Souri, 19 August 1966 was a Sun Leo square Neptune in Scorpio opposition a North Node in Taurus – Neptune in its chillingly-cold guise tied into a plotting-and-planning Taurus North Node. Just as tellingly he had a Water Grand Trine of Jupiter Mars in Cancer trine Saturn in Pisces trine Neptune in Scorpio formed into a Kite by Saturn opposition the revolutionary Pluto Uranus. The Water Grand Trine would detach him from other views of reality than his own and with Uranus Pluto as the driving planet he’d be the ultimate destabiliser and destroyer of the status quo.
His chart is not as obviously cruel as that of the present leader Yahya Sinwar, believed to be living in a tunnel under Gaza city, born 29 October 1962. He has a destructive, militant Mars North Node in Leo opposition Saturn in Aquarius square Sun Neptune (Moon) in Scorpio. Mars Saturn in traditional astrology had assassination as one of its associations. Add a perverse Neptune into the mix as well as Scorpio and the potential for wreaking havoc is all there.
Ismail Haniyeh, political Hamas leader, who lives in some style in Qatar, 29 January 1962 is a Sun, Venus, Saturn Jupiter in Aquarius square Neptune in Scorpio with a Leo North Node.
Having trawled through several of the Hamas leadership charts as well as Hezbollah, what is striking is the difference between them and the ISIS charts which were slanted towards Pisces either in planets or North Node – driven by a vision so cosmic it became chillingly inhumane. ISIS (remnants thereof) insist their organization is very different from Hamas whose aims are localised to Palestine. ISIS dreamt of a global caliphate.
This present crop of Hamas militants have smatterings of patriotic Cancer and flamboyant, attention-grabbing Leo. With North Nodes in turbulent, constant-strife Taurus or in leadership Leo. Plus afflicted Mars which drives the anger, cruelty and urge to destroy.
The Hezbollah chart, 16 February 1985 has an Aquarius Sun square a Taurus North Node opposition Saturn in Scorpio. The Hamas chart, 14 December 1987, has an explosive mix of fiery Sagittarius planets including the Sun, Uranus, Saturn and a brutal Mars Saturn in Scorpio.
Not sure whether this is illuminating or not.
Yahya Sinwar certainly looks an unpleasant type. If he survives, he will be under maximum pressure in 2026 and on with tr Pluto square his Sun and opposition his Saturn with nothing improving in the years following. The Hamas chart, 14 December 1987, also indicates the years 2026/27 will be when it runs into a terminal halt.
Khaled Mashaal, 28 May 1956, one of the Hamas leadership in exile in the Arab world, is a Sun Gemini with a formidable Mars at 26 degrees Aquarius opposition Jupiter Pluto (26 Leo) square Saturn (28 Scorpio) – so he will be on red alert during this coming July period of Mars Uranus Algol and on into 2025.
The fallacy that history means progress.
“If you don’t know history, then you don’t know anything. You are a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree. ” ― Michael Crichton.
“A generation which ignores history has no past – and no future.” Robert A. Heinlein
Gosh turbulent lot aren’t they? Thank you Marjorie lots of reading here.
From a journalist who met with Al- Arouri , he was the natural leader. Even that his manners more gentler . He was behind capturing Gilad Shalit . He kept the technique of capturing Israelis a secret in order to use it in the future..Sinwar is described more as the psychopath who like to create pain. He has his fears when it canes to his own life . Israel saved him while he had cancer
The natal chart date and date used in the text for Haniyeh do not match. Is that the correct chart?
Thanks. Typo.
Wasnt Nostradamus’s next baddie supposed to have been born in 1962?
That Hamas chart (14 Dec 1987) has Pluto at 11 Scorpio 29 conjunct Mars at 13 Scorpio 18.
They oppose Israel’s north node at 14 Taurus 01 and are conjunct Israel’s south node (ketu). Vedic astrologers think of ketu as a malefic.
So Mars-Pluto = war/murder when it aspects another country’s nodes?
Thanks Marjorie. And in the past hours, more from Iran, which is one connecting thread in this web of violence:
“At least 73 people have been killed by two bomb explosions near the tomb of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani on the fourth anniversary of his assassination by the US, Iran’s state media report.” BBC, 3 January 2024
Qasem Soleimani, 11 March 1957, had Pluto 28 Leo, Nodes 21 Scorpio/Taurus, and Mars 25 Taurus, with Algol. That makes thought-provoking connections with al-Arouri’s Sun 25 Leo, Nodes 20 Taurus/Scorpio, and Neptune 19 Scorpio. Also, as you write:
“Khaled Mashaal, 28 May 1956, one of the Hamas leadership in exile in the Arab world, is a Sun Gemini with a formidable Mars at 26 degrees Aquarius opposition Jupiter Pluto (26 Leo) square Saturn (28 Scorpio) – so he will be on red alert during this coming July period of Mars Uranus Algol and on into 2025.”
Clearly, they connect with Hezbollah, Sun 27 Aquarius square Saturn 27 Scorpio. And with many other significant charts including Joe Biden, the Treaty of Rome’s (March 1957) 28 Leo Pluto, and the BRICS Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron line up in Aquarius. Iran has just formally joined BRICS.
I also noticed that the war in Yemen, involving the Houthi Rebels, began in 1994. That year started with a square between Saturn 27 Aquarius and Pluto 27 Scorpio. By the end of the year, Jupiter in Scorpio was conjunct Pluto at 28 Scorpio.
“Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had warned that any targeted attack on Lebanese soil would trigger a “powerful response”.
“But Hezbollah and its Iranian allies know the shape of their reply now, in the burning heat of hostilities, could change the shape of this war – and Hezbollah’s fortunes.” Lyse Doucet, 3 January 2024
The sensitivity of those late fixed degrees for the region as a whole could be underlined by the beginnings of the ‘Arab Spring’. What sparked it was the death of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia on 4th January, 2011. Neptune was 27 Aquarius, conjunct Chiron, square Venus 26 Scorpio. The Jupiter in idealogical, religious Pisces was conjunct Uranus in Pisces at 26 degrees. Al-Arouri’s Chiron is 25 Pisces, Saturn 28 Pisces.
“north node in turbulent, constant strife Taurus” – is this a characteristic of Taurus north ( or south) node generally?
Taurus North Node when in unevolved mode slides back into Scorpio’s tendency to plot and plan and cause upsets.
Thanks for posting this. Aquarius can be a true believer and very cold.
