Rapprochement With Iran?

The Solar Return Chart for Tehran, Iran 2008 indicates a softening of rhetoric and change of belief as to the definition of Iran as a threat.  (Mercury, Venus and Uranus in a Pisces stellium in the eighth house.) 

The same Pisces stellium is sextile to Jupiter in Capricorn in the fifth house, which opens opens the door to creative diplomacy in issues involving governments.

Mars in Cancer in the eleventh house trines the solar-return Sun in Pisces in the eighth house, creating an actively sympathetic environment from friends wishing to alleviate suffering that takes place behind the scenes.

There could be some positive change during the next year for Iran involving a softening of the rhetoric of religious war (natal Mars and Mercury in Pisces in the eighth house.)

On the other hand,  transiting Pluto is making an out-of-sign square to Iran’s Mercury and Mars, so all is not well, and the positive elements listed above could be severely threatened by hanging onto a powerfully destructive and bellicose stance. 

However, an out-of-sign square is mitigated in intensity, so there is, on balance, the possibility of improved diplomatic relations with Iran, provided of course, that efforts made in that direction are sincere (Pisces rules beliefs and behind-the-scenes deception; the eighth house indicates disintigrating circumstances.)
