Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty (March 26, 1979)

On this day in 1979: Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin, and Jimmy Carter sign the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty in Washington, D.C.

And a ‘cold peace’ broke out between those two nations.

The timing is randomized. If you look closely at the photograph (below), the sun appears to be marginally to the right (facing), so that means to me that it’s either slightly before noon or slightly after.

Since this ‘event’ happened on the South Lawn, I would definitely suggest that this is before noon.

At any rate, only the inconjunct pointing at the Midheaven would be suspect. The rest stand as is.

Moon Inconjunct Pluto (Israel)

This aspect means that your emotions are very intense and not always easy to deal with. Often your feelings make you want to do or say something without knowing why. Also you may have very intense moods in which you withdraw from those around you into a world of your own. This should not be a serious problem unless you have been brought up to have all sorts of fears and worries. In that case your actions will be driven by your fears, and you may behave quite strangely.

Venus Inconjunct Jupiter (Egypt)

This can be a positive aspect if you learn to control some of its negative possibilities. You are likely to lack energy and to be rather passive. You may wait for possibilities to come to you, rather than go after them. You may not have enough energy to pursue your ambitions, or you may not have much ambition. Or you may love your comfort so much that you are unwilling to make any effort or put up with any pain that could help you grow and develop. However, if there are any indications of energy in your chart, they should overcome the passivity.

Mars Inconjunct Pluto (USA)

You have a strong will and always to have your own way. But very often it seems as if tremendous forces are working to prevent you from getting what you want. If you have this problems, it is because of the way you go about trying to achieve your ends. If you put too much force into your desire to get something, you may unknowingly alienate people because your aggressive manner shows that you will let nothing stop you from getting what you want. Even if that isn’t the way you really feel about it, you should recognize that your forcefulness creates this impression.

Pluto Inconjunct Midheaven (Security Forces)

You may have trouble with older people who try to teach you how to actively take control of your life. Even while you are young, you may resent their control over you and resist everything they are trying to teach you. To a great extent, your path in life will be shaped by your early confrontations with authority figures. Your parents would be well advised to give you as much control as possible over your own affairs and as much self-determination as you can handle. They should not try to keep an extremely tight rein on you, for if they do, you will explode and become very difficult to handle. Also your self-esteem would be damaged. Your parents and teachers should be very straightforward with you, because if you feel that people are not being honest with you, you will not be honest with them. You are quite capable of acting behind people’s backs if you consider it necessary or if you feel that you never get your own way.

Hindsight

The whole point of looking back at historical events is to give us some perspective about the present and the potential future. Most of the Arab countries were outraged when this agreement was made. And the Palestinians felt betrayed by the Egyptians. But can you blame these leaders for wanting to limit the damage that war between them had caused?

Armageddon may be the result of this peace treaty. We shall have to wait and see.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
