The eclipse point at 14 degrees Scorpio is conjunct with the Modern State of Israel’s natal South Lunar Node and opposite her North Lunar Node. This is symbolic language for a crucial test of her identity and self-awareness.
Israel is confronted with an external civil war because of an internal identity crisis. She is asking: What is “me” (South Node / Moon in 1st House of Self) and who are “we” (North Node / Sun in 7th House of Partnerships).
An identity-defining marker in the Modern State of Israel's natal chart is Chiron, the "Wounded Healer", close to her South Lunar Node in her 1st House. Israel's self-identity is so tied to her historical woundedness at the hands of other nations and peoples that it is impossible to separate from her. A healed Chiron in this position learns from one's own pain and helps to heal others with the wisdom of their own experience. In Scorpio, this position translates to literal life-or-death. Meaning, there's no way for Israel to see her identity as anything less than a life-or-death proposition.
I feel this eclipse symbolizes a defining moment in Israel’s historical trajectory. At the very least I will expect to see this current government collapse and new elections called for. Will the results be any different? I don't know.
There's a lot I don't know, and I'm just an imperfect Human, Being. Not an oracle, just a pretty darn good Jewish astrologer with an obvious and unashamed bias.
Claal Yisrol as a spiritual entity is "above the stars" but the Modern State of Israel certainly is not, by anyone's measure.
I don't know a lot but I do know this: “Teshuvah (repentance), Tefillah (prayer), and Tzedakah (righteous deeds) will avert the severe decree.” You can never go wrong with that.
