A Taliban bomb in a Kabul ambulance killed 95 people today, in one of the bloodiest bomb slaughters ever. Another 158 were injured. [Update 1/29: 103 dead, 235 injured.]

Notice that this sort of thing (the second in Kabul in short order, and one of several deadly events this week) is typical of times when we have Saturn transits or progressions with Capsolar, CapQ, Cansolar, or CanQ Moons, as we presently do.

Notice that Kabul's Capsolar is primarily Neptune driven - an angular Neptune joins the universal Moon-Mercury-Saturn trio and some other lunar aspects. I was thinking yesterday how wearing-down and demoralizing all this might be - the Neptune simply leaving a state of sustained anxiety and depletion. CNN's morning summary put that into good language this morning, laced with Neptunian language:

This is the painful reality of Afghanistan today. The country's in one of the most violent periods of its recent history, and its challenges are deepening. But the sense of exhaustion, of solutions long having lost their sparkle, pervades. According to the US government's own auditors, the Taliban influence or control about half the land. ISIS too, intermittently rises, and then, after coalition airstrikes, falls -- competing to be the most extreme actor in a crowded marketplace. The government in Kabul is weak, ridden by conflict and rivalry between senior players. And the West's ideas for stabilizing the country are running out.
