Munich Games Massacre (September 5, 1972)
The world and his uncle tend to forget that the terrorism that Israel has endured came into stark focus on this day in 1972. The Israeli Olympic team were meant to be bargaining chips for the release of Palestinian prisoners, but the whole hostage taking incident ended in a massacre. Here’s the chart:
There is one inconjunct, linking Jupiter and Venus (also conjunct to the Part of Fortune).
Venus Inconjunct Jupiter
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 opportunities 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.
The reason I’m going back to this event is to demonstrate how long the memory of it has caused the Israelis and Palestinians an ongoing situation in Gaza that exploded into an all-out war between Israel and Hamas, the group that has effective control over the people who live in the Gaza strip of land.
Note, especially, how the War’s Moon in Cancer is conjunct the Munich South Node/Venus conjunction. And War’s Pluto is conjunct Munich’s North Node. War’s Ascendant is conjunct Munich’s Neptune. War’s Venus is conjunct Munich’s Mercury/Ascendant conjunction. War’s Mercury is conjunct Munich’s Pluto. And, finally, War’s Sun is conjunct Munich’s Uranus, while War’s Uranus is conjunct Munich’s Midheaven. There really are too many links between these events to be considered a coincidence.
So, before pointing fingers at Israel as the ‘problem’, remember that 24-hour coverage of the War is making this far worse than it already is. The same thing happened in 1972.
Post Script: It Isn’t New, This War has Been Brewing for 75 Years
When Israel was partitioned out of the land that Palestinians had controlled for almost 2,000 years, the West created a monster situation. In the background, promises to the Arabs in 1916 were broken.
