Mercury Stationary At Sunrise, Feb. 11, 2015
The most disturbing thing with this picture concerns the Star of Akrab ("The Crown Of The Scorpion") directly overhead at the time of sunrise (with Mercury rising over the eastern horizon going stationary over two stars; one star suggesting a good nature (Albiero) and the other star suggesting a violent nature (Sham)). The Star of Akrab rules materialism, wealth, and crimes that are related to materialism and wealth. Hence there is a probability of a major theft taking place (or a major financial move by an important power), as well as violence and fiendishness taking place in a big way. Another placement that also suggests this same interpretation is Mars conjunct the Star of Markab, which has a lot to do with violence, theft, and actions involving cutting instruments (such as surgical scalpels or street knives. This star was overhead and conjunct the North Node when Charles Manson's "family" broke into the residence of Sharon Tate and performed the Helter Skelter murders).
From CNN on February 11, 2015:
Europe made little progress Wednesday in averting a new crisis that could force Greece to drop the euro.
Greece's new government, led by left-wing party Syriza, says half a decade of austerity has condemned the country to a downward spiral that is impoverishing its people and making it impossible to repay its enormous debts.
It wants to tear up the existing international bailout program and win six months of bridge financing to give it breathing space to negotiate a longer term solution.
Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis met his eurozone peers as a group for the first time in Brussels. He described the talks as "intensive and constructive."
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister who chaired the talks, said progress had been made in understanding Greece's position. But there was no agreement on how to advance the discussions, other than to meet again on Monday, he said.
Greece wants to roll back 30% of the commitments it has made to the European states that have lent it money. It wants to reduce its total debt burden, which at 175% of GDP is the second highest in the world, raise the minimum wage and pensions, and reverse some tax hikes.
The two sides were far apart as the talks began, and little of substance appeared to have changed by the time they ended.
Europe says Greece must honor the terms of the existing rescue loans, before it can talk about ways to ease the burden and boost growth.
The impasse threatens to cut off the lifeline keeping Greek banks afloat later this month, and could ultimately force Greece to abandon the euro. Analysts say the chances of a 'Grexit' are higher than at any point since the second round of the Greek debt crisis in 2012.

With other countries such as Ireland, Portugal and Spain having worked through their own painful bailout programs, Europe is in better shape than a few years ago to cope with such a shock. And less inclined to give Greece much ground.
"For a number of eurozone government[s] ...it's important that Syriza should fail and be seen to fail," said Andrew Lilico, executive director of consultancy Europe Economics.
Lilico said endorsement of Syriza's policies was the last thing the Spanish government would want to see because it would hand a huge political victory to a similar opposition party in Spain.
Varoufakis said he hoped agreement could be reached on Monday, but the search for a compromise that is acceptable to Greece and to taxpayers in countries such as Germany and France may take more time.

Europe needed to recognize that Greeks had voted for change, while Greece had to understand that commitments must be respected, said the European Commission's finance chief Pierre Moscovici.
"The [bailout] program is our legal reference, it is on this basis -- inside this framework -- we can work," he said.
Greece's biggest creditor, Germany, reinforced that view.
"We have this program, this program will be brought to an orderly conclusion or we won't have a program," finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said bluntly.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras repeated Tuesday night that he would not ask for a formal extension of the bailout, which is due to expire on February 28.
Without an extension, the European Central Bank could decide as early as next week to turn off emergency financing for Greek banks.

Violent Morning: Head And Back Stabbings In North Beach, Knife Attack On Muni Bus
The 500 block of Francisco Street may seem quiet, but it was the scene of a violent confrontation Wednesday morning.
It's been a stabby week in San Francisco, and it's only Wednesday. In addition to a knife attack over the weekend and a slashing on Tuesday, three more men fell prey to bladed violence this morning: two in a North Beach altercation, and a third while riding a Muni bus.
In the first such incident, two men were arguing at around 2:55 a.m. on the 500 block of Francisco Street, which is between Mason and Taylor Streets. As the conflict intensified, one of the men stabbed the other in the head, San Francisco Police Department spokesperson Sergeant Monica MacDonald says.
A good samaritan tried to break the fight up, but the knife-wielding man stabbed him in the back, MacDonald says.
Both men suffered injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening, MacDonald says. The suspect fled and remains at large. MacDonald did not have any additional suspect information, including a description, at publication time.
Less than a hour later, police were called to the West Portal Muni station, after a man was stabbed while riding a Muni bus, MacDonald says.
Details on this incident are still sort of sketchy, but here's what MacDonald knew as of this morning: at 3:50 a.m., two men were riding the bus when the suspect, described by ABC7 as " Filipino man in his 40s," "said something to the victim and then fled off of the bus."
Another Muni passenger then noted that the victim was bleeding, and the victim realized that he'd been stabbed. He was transported to San Francisco General Hospital for treatment of his injury.
Know anything about either case, or about the stabbings from Saturday or Tuesday (those suspects remain at large, too)? Then call San Francisco police at (415) 575-4444 or can send a tip by text message to TIP411 with “SFPD” in the message.

Another disturbing note is that Neptune is conjunct the Star of Sadalachbia (and this star rules "hidden things" and "aviation"). Because Neptune rules deception (and is moving over this star at the time Mercury is going stationary), there is a probability of a major aviation accident or something violent involving aviation. But because Neptune rules drugs and oil, there also may be an announcement of an important drug treatment or a discovery of an important oil or chemical source (since Sadalachbia rules "hidden things").
Russian Su-24 bomber crashes near Volgograd
Feb 11, 2015
Flights of the Sukhoi Su-24MR jets have been suspended until the causes of the Wednesday morning crash of this type of aircraft that took place outside Volgograd are investigated, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
The Su-24 jet crashed seven kilometers from the runway. The fate of its crewmembers is unknown so far. A law enforcement source told TASS that the pilots have presumably ejected.
“On the order of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces flights of the Su-24 planes are suspended until the causes of the accident are investigated,” the press service said.
The Defense Ministry has earlier established a special commission to investigate the crash causes and a search and rescue team has been dispatched to the accident area. The Su-24 flight was performed without combat ammunition load by experienced pilots who have more than 1,000 logged flight hours each, the ministry said.
The Sukhoi Su-24 twin-engine frontline bomber was developed in the Soviet Union. The modified version, Su-24M, entered service in 1983 and is still in use by some former Soviet states. In 2010, the Russian Air Force decided to replace its Su-24s with modern Su-34s.
Oil down after record U.S. crude stocks; Brent below $55
NEW YORK

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices fell as much as 3 percent on Wednesday after U.S. stockpiles hit record highs, and analysts and traders said the market could shed more of a two-week rebound that was spurred by expectations of lower output.
U.S. crude stocks rose by almost 5 million barrels last week to reach nearly 418 million barrels, the highest since 1982, when records started being kept, government data showed. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a build of nearly 4 million barrels. [EIA/S]
The record inventory was a sign the market was still struggling to find a home for some 2 million barrels per day of oil. The glut has prevented prices from forming a bottom to a sell-off that began last summer, analysts said.
"It proves that the price retracement we had on the capital expenditure cuts and falling rig counts may have been premature," said Gene McGillian, senior analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Energy firms slashed billions of dollars from their oil exploration budgets, and the number of U.S. oil drilling rigs fell to three-year lows after crude prices fell by about 60 percent from their June peaks.
On Wednesday, benchmark Brent oil LCOc1 dropped below the $55-per-barrel support level, settling down $1.77, or 3 percent, at $54.66 a barrel. U.S. crude CLc1 closed down $1.18, or about 2 percent, at $48.84 a barrel.
Fawad Razaqzada, technical analyst in London for FOREX.com, said Brent could fall to $53 a barrel and U.S. crude could go below $47.50 a barrel.
After the rout over the past seven months on worries of a global supply glut, oil prices have risen in five of the last nine sessions, due mostly to what traders say is short-covering.
The gain, of roughly 10 percent, has led some to think the market is on track to a larger rebound. Kuwaiti Oil Minister Ali al-Omair believes crude will hit $60 a barrel by year-end.
The International Energy Agency, however, sees a price well below the $100 level of the last three years.
"If a rally takes hold, it will be sold into," said Tariq Zahir, managing partner at Tyche Capital Advisors in Laurel Hollow, New York.
As proof of the market's near-term weakness, the "contango," or discount, between U.S. crude for prompt delivery and a year ahead CLc1-CLc12 widened on Wednesday to $11 a barrel, its biggest in a week.
The Sun is forming a semi-sextile to Mars (30 degree angle) while moving over the Star of Nashira. This suggests involvement of government and/or religion in some way, and I suspect the Middle East and Southwest Asia regions (and the violence that is so omnipresent there) may be something a lot of attention will be focused on by the media in some way.

Finally, the T-square of the North Node, Pluto, and Uranus continues with the focus of this T-square energy pointing at the Star of Sirius. This star has a lot to do with ambition and emotional nature. And note that with a conflicting square forming between Uranus and Pluto, this may be the main reason the general public is emotionally venting their frustration on law enforcement areas of the government, as opposed to the REAL CRIMINALS IN GOVERNMENT, who are the millionaire (s)elected prostitutes that have repeatedly dropped their pants and bent over for Israeli financial donors, bent over for the puppet government in Ukraine, bent over for financial institution donors and their Wall Street agents, and bent over for the NSA and CIA by virtue of these agencies presenting blackmail evidence related to illegal drug activity and recreational activity with child prostitutes (who reportedly look very much like adults). Hopefully the public will get off of this "I don't want to look like a conspiracy theorist" attitude and focus their anger at the real criminals in elected government, instead of the law enforcement criminals being sensationalized by the mainstream media.
Thanks for reading.
Love to all,
Malcolm
