"In March 2002, with Saturn opposite Pluto I wrote a weekahead about this opposition and looked at the composite between Israel and Palestine. It seems that in the meantime, things are going as foreseen in that composite in March 2002 which I reproduce here: 
The Pluto-Saturn situation up there in the skies correlates for many people on the planet oftentimes with desperate feelings of hopelessness, blackness, powerlessness, especially there where one is dependent on outside powers --- there is a struggle as in a true opposition down here on the planet as well, such as between Israel and Palestine. In his Forecasts books Ray Merriman has often mentioned how Saturn-Pluto aspects tend to correlate with the worst outbreaks of enemy-ship between Israel and Palestine. And certainly, oppositions between these two planets up there in the skies correlate with opposing points of view down here on the planet Earth, they are the most difficult aspectsituations between these two planets of all. "As above, so below". It seems for some an almost impossible situation, as at this high point of the opposition in the cycle things get completely stuck and viewpoints 180 degrees removed from one another arise between any two parties.
