Cease-Fire Announced in Israel-Gaza Conflict

"Egypt announced a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas effective Wednesday evening local time, the Associated Press reported.

In details of the agreement obtained by news agency, Israel will cease all military activity against the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip at 9 p.m. local time (11 a.m. PST) and Palestinian militants will cease rocket attacks into Israel. After 24 hours of quiet, Gaza's border crossings with Israel will be opened further to allow freer movement of goods and people.

The announcement by Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton followed talks in Cairo between Clinton and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi." Read More

Fortunately- Venus (peace & love) will still be in her dignity at 29 Libra when tonights cease-fire goes into effect. Venus and Neptune will actually share antiscia/solstice points, which is similar to a conjunction of these two planets. Although a combination of Venus and Neptune can be problematic, because theres a tendency to have unrealistic expectations of others- it's better that Venus is dignified and not yet in Scorpio with Saturn waiting just ahead.

The cease-fire agreement becomes effective at 9pm, EET, which is only 2 hours and 50 minutes before the Sun enters Sagittarius. A Sagittarius solar ingress chart for Tel Aviv or Cairo places the Pisces Moon, Neptune, and Chiron all in or near the 7th house cusp (allies and open enemies)- with Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius & Pisces) conjunct the Midheaven. This prominent Jupiter is "a favorable influence for increasing the honor, prestige, and success of the State abroad and at home, and for beginning new national enterprises." ~H.S.Green, Mundane Astrology

Jupiter and the Moon are rising in Israel and Egypt at the Nov. 28 lunar eclipse.
