Varuna, floods, Australia and Brazil

The God Varuna

There have been horrible floods in Queensland Australia and in Brazil. Saturn and Varuna are making hard aspects with Australia's natal and progressed chart.  Varuna is conjunct Brazil's Sun/Moon midpoint and quindecile the nation's IC with Saturn in the first house. Varuna is the God of the water and the seas. Astro.com was so kind to publish the ephemeris of Varuna.

Varuna, the symbol of floods and waters, is in hard aspect with the Ascendant of the Australian natal chart (that I found on Astrodatabank). Varuna is quindecile the nation's Saturn.
The progressed chart of Australia has Varuna close to the ascendant and transit Saturn inconjunct the progressed Midheaven. That seems to be illustrating the situation. Above is the progressed chart, with transits. Below is the Ausralian natal chart with transits.

Brazil's natal chart and transits

There are also floods in Brazil. Above is the chart of the discovery of Brazil*) (source = Astrodatabank, rating = A). Transit Varuna in the 23rd degree of Cancer is quindecile the natal IC and conjunct the natal Sun/Moon midpoint. (Just calculate: (32+193)/2=112.5=23rd of Cancer).

MORE VARUNA...
When Ed Stafford walked along the Amazone, his progressed Sun was trine Varuna all the time (During his 859 day journey, the progressed Sun was trine Varuna (symbol of the waters!) and square Quaoar (new realities!).

When there was an earth quake followed by a tsunami in Chili, Varuna was on the Descendant at location (see the complete post here). This is the chart of that moment and place.

Two new countries born

Today two new countries were born: Curacao and Sint Maarten. See the news for explanation: http://channel6newsonline.com/2010/10/dutch-caribbean-islands-curacao-and-sint-maarten-become-independent-countries/


At midnight today the Netherlands Antilles dissolved. Now there are those 2 new countries (part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) and 3 new Dutch municipalities (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba). There is also Aruba, and Aruba has a special status as an independent countrie since January 1, 1986.
Here is the chart of Curacao and Sint Maarten.

Spain's national chart and the championship

Of course you know that Spain won the WC2010 in South Africa! Enhorabuena! The Spanish team is now  the champion in the world of football!

Isn't such an event a perfect moment to find the true national astrology chart? I thought it was. So, I had a look at the national charts of Spain (there exist more than 1) to see which one is corresponding with the present Spanish victory and joy. I based my choice on the fact that there is a strong indication for success in the transits and progression for this chart of Spain (minor transits of Pluto and Jupiter with progressed Mars )  in the one of 1975 (inauguration of King Juan Carlos). 

See the chart and the other aspects in this post. For more examples and explanation, see the links and labels...

Chart of China (60 years old)

The People's Republic of China is 60 years old. Time to have a look at the natal chart and transits. The Moon happens to be conjunct mine. I have never been there, but perhaps I would feel more at home than I can imagine. Maybe it is a good idea to go there and see how it feels:)...

NAME
China's name contains the word 'people'. The Moon - symbol of the people - is conjunct the Ascendant (name) and in Aquarius (sign for a republic, opposition the royal Leo). I wonder if anyone manipulated the time of this chart because of this, but if not: it is a brilliant astrological statement.

RESTRICTIONS AND WALLS
Saturn was rising before the Sun, without major aspects and in Virgo. This is reflecting the conservative and restrictive orientation. Mercury is semi sextile Saturn and so is Mars. In fact,Saturn is positioned on the midpoint of Mercury and Mars, restricting (Saturn) discussions (Mercury-Mars). But the prominence of Saturn might also reflect a more fysical restriction: the famous Chinese wall, here on a Nasa picture.

WOMEN
Venus is conjunct Midheaven. It was the end of war: peace! (Venus symbolizes peace). Venus AND the Moon are reflecting feminine qualities. With the foundation of the People's Republic China started one of the first nations in the world with equality for women. Political struggle (Mars-Pluto conjunction) often led (and perhaps still leads) to suppression, however. For more about that, see Amnesty International...

BIRTHDAY
The solar return (or birthday) chart has the Moon in Aquarius square Midheaven. That means that there will be a desire for change. The Ascendant of the Solar Return is inconjunct the natal Moon in Aquarius and lately the progressed Ascendant was square natal Moon. That is again a sign of wanted change. Also, transit Pluto will be square natal Sun in a few years time. There might be political difficulties (and reforms), if a country's natal chart works as a person's natal chart does. In that cse, there will be a period of transformation ahead. But didn't we already know that? There might be a visible effect of the economical crisis within 2 years and that may force the Republic to make vital changes in order to get back on trail.

Here is the birthday chart:
