Viktor Orbán (Hungary) and transits of Saturn

Astrothème provides this chart of Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán, PM of Hungary, for 14.00 hours on May 31, 1963. Here you his chart with transits and progressions. They are not easy.

1. The progressed Midheaven conjunct natal Uranus nicely mirrors that there is controversy around him. People are fore or against him. And there is a hectic, unexpected situation (Uranus!)

2. With Transit Saturn trine Progressed Sun there is also stability now, continuity and self respect. This won't last for long. Saturn moves, like the refugees do. 

3. Transit Saturn will be square his MC soon, if Astrothème is right about his hour of birth.  Transits of Saturn are hard.

Doesn't this show his present position? 

Some consider him as the goal-keeper of Europe. Others see him as a rebel against Europe, modern democracy and Merkel's policy. They picture him like a modern Hitler and then his fans come to show their support. But in these hectic times one thing is certain: there is criticism. And that is so Saturn, just like blockades, borders and restrictions. The combination of Uranus and Saturn issues the theme of breaking free (or not). 

Remember:

Charts don't tell us what will happen. The symbols are flexible. All depends on gender, genes, social and economic or political circumstances...Orbán's Sun and Moon are in flexible signs. Borders sometimes are and sometimes not...

View on Budapest

You can see all of what is going on in that chart. For a view on Orbán, today, see: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/hungary-s-viktor-orban-the-cunning-leader-who-would-keep-refugees-out-of-europe-1.3230749 and think of transit Saturn (criticism all around).

PS MIGRATION

Neptune was in Pisces in the days of the Migration (4th century) and in days of revolution. Uranus-Pluto stresses nations and creates a lot of unrest throughout the ages. Two important factors contributed to the present situation and it will not end untill Saturn is conjunct Uranus (a new order). The chart of Europe and Hungary will show what's next. 

Quoting myself:
In 376 the Migration Period (see Wikipedia) began that ended the Roman Empire and was the start of the Early Middle Ages. From February 375 till March 379 Neptune was in the first degrees of Pisces. Neptune in Pisces mirrored a period of ideological wars and revolutionary changes. The Migration Period lasted for ages, but started then, with Neptune in early Pisces.

Syria, Merkel, Germany and astrology

Battle of the Sea Gods by Mantegna, thanks to Wiki Commons

No way to look away and not consider the charts involved in the tragedy of refugees in Europe today...What is in the charts? You'll see Neptune in the charts of Germany and Merkel, while Uranus and Pluto hit the chart of January 1, 1925 (Syria). And coincidence, or not: Neptune is the planet of 'no borders, no limits' and Uranus-Pluto means intense tension and dramatic change.

SYRIA
The Syrian Federation became the State of Syria in 1 January 1925, says Wikipedia. Have a look at the chart of that moment:

Sun, Progressed Sun, Ascendant, Progressed Midheaven and MC all have a position between the 10th and 16th degree of the Capital Signs. Those are exactly the degrees that were and will be hit by Uranus and Pluto. These two planets were 90 degrees apart (square) since 2011 and symbolized the unrest, extreme tension and dramatic change in the world right now. Also, the Progressed Sun of Syria's chart will be inconjunct Saturn within a year from now. This is a signal of coming decline. Right now there is migration from Syria to Europe. The people wants to move to Germany, where they expect to get a better life than in any of the countries that they walked or travelled through on the way to the country of Mrs Merkel, who recently sort of invited the refugees but she forgot to bring them 'home'. Progressed Ascendant near Mercury (planet of transportation) perhaps illustrates the situation. 

Charts of people who depend upon the State or the leader of the nation have to be considered in the light of the charts of the nation or the leader of the nation. The bad and hard aspects in that chart will mirror nasty situation and conditions, more than they do in times of peace and harmony. There is more... 

Transit Pluto opposition the Progressed Moon of the chart above reflects intense emotions and the people in problems, while transit Saturn inconjunct progressed Mercury seems completely in line with the difficult voyage with so many lost lives and what people left behind when they said goodbye to there home land.

Meanwhile, the area is at war, people die and suffer, and there is no help on the way. That is how migration started in 376, too, also with Neptune in early Pisces (see my site Astromarkt: http://www.astromarkt.net/astrology_to_study-html/neptune-in-pisces-html/)

Considering the chart above, it doesn't look like there will be a solution for Syria, not soon enough to stop the migration. Now how about Germany?

GERMANY

The chart of Germany (United Germany, October 3, 1990, Berlin, zero hours) has transit Neptune in Pisces inconjunct the natal Sun in Libra. That is exactly the kind of aspect that makes it hard to deal with all the Neptunic things such as refugees, the sea, idealism, beliefs and the media. This aspect demands clarity, openness and open eyes when there is little balance and too much confusion. It is har to do. The chart of the leader of the nation is in line with that. 

MERKEL

As Angela Merkel's Progressed Sun is in the 24th of Virgo, quindecile (165d) transit Neptune, there will be a strong focus (if not obsession) with the issue of Sun-Neptune that is in the nation's chart as well. Here is her chart:

In her natal chart Neptune is on the MC and square the Sun (just like in the chart of Obama) to show you that certain ideals, ideologies and beliefs will be of utmost importance in her life and connected to her career. Now Mrs Merkel's name sounds all over the Budapest' railway station. Being an idol that way, may not have been her purpose.

It is a complex situation and apparently, the political leaders can't deal with it. So the people who lost their homes and didn't see any future, made the choice to start walking to an unknown but peaceful future and to demand access to the nation that seems to have the best economic and cultural cards.

Uranus-Pluto and Neptune in Pisces, symbols of revolution and change, did there job. All that astrologers can do, is signal the aspects and point at the indications of dramatic change. There is no astrological solution, but there is some hope.

The Uranus-Pluto square is fading away slowly, and Neptune in Pisces is moving on. Someday, all charts have changed and I hope it will be in a good way.  There are hard aspects always, but these two  astrological indications were present in revolutionary times of religious wars and migration in the past and are now losing there importance. But, like I said on Astromarkt:

Eventually, any hard aspect between Uranus and Pluto issues the value and problem of change, and the price to pay for it.

Some of us had to pay a lot...

Uranus-Pluto aftermath

Uranus-Pluto was NOT exact when the French Revolution (July 4, 1789) happened. Uranus was exactly square Pluto in the year 1792, two years later, when France became a republic. In the two years following the exact square, there was the Reign of Terror, led by Robespierre, who ended his violent life on July 28, 1794, when Saturn was square Uranus. The next square between Saturn and Uranus now is in February of 2021!

We had 7 times Uranus square Pluto and many revolts. It stopped. No more Uranus-Pluto squares for the time being:). But this hasn't brought peace and quiet. Instead, there are still growing Reigns of Terror. It seems that Uranus-Pluto is the start of a nasty period and not the end, or better: it is a follow up of a new terror regime. And Saturn-Uranus (breaking free) is the moment of the real end of the unrest and the beginning of a new status quo. At least, that is what happened in the 18th century. I'll be back in 2021, I hope, to remind you of this.

Bad news for Pope Francis

The chart of Pope Francis was hit today by ruler 8 Uranus (opposite Ascendant) and the natural ruler 8 Pluto conjunct ruler 3 Mercury. In the progressed chart MC and Mercury are square now. This picture of the sky accompanies bad news (see ABC http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-19/three-pope-francis-relatives-killed-in-car-crash/5682610 ). Family members died in a car accident in Argentina.

The 8th house is the symbol of crisis, life-and-death moments and changes (definite ones). Uranus' transits may be shocking. Pluto refers to stress, problems and challenges. The combination of Uranus and Pluto is often the symbol of crisis. Mercury and the 3rd and 6th house are related to relatives like brothers and sisters, nephews and cousins, aunts and uncles. Mercury is also the symbol of traffic and communications.

It seems that those 3 actual aspects picture the situation, but like in every case: it's not so vice versa and there need not be a death in the family just because of those particular transits and houses. That is because the astrological vocabulary has a range of words and meanings for every single symbol. The 8th house is also the house of your partner's money, for example.

Sun inconjunct Pluto in Edith Cavell's chart

Because of the special coin with the image of executed heroic nurse Edith Cavell, I got interested in her birth chart and (even more) in the transits and progressions on the day of her execution, on October 12, 1915 by the Germans in World War I. She was born on December 4, 1865 with Sun inconjunct Pluto. She was very brave. Edith Cavell had Mars rising before the Sun. It was unlikely that she would do nothing and would not try to help. Mars is for action.

On her final day there were hard transits to deal with.

1. transit Pluto was inconjunct her progressed Sun, with progressed Sun also inconjunct Uranus.
2. transit Mars opposite progressed Sun
3. transit Neptune opposite progressed Sun
4. progressed Sun inconjunct natal Uranus
(Mars and Neptune's transits were semi sextile natal Uranus)

There are more aspects to be considered and there is no hour of birth available, so that her Ascendant, Moon and Midheaven can't be analyzed. In this post, I limit myself to the inconjunctions, to Uranus + Pluto and to the resonance of the natal Sun inconjunct Pluto with transit Pluto inconjunct progressed Sun.

Uranus-Pluto combinations often appear when a person is being arrested (and not vice versa!). It is a combination of an intense shock, sudden danger, ultimate change and deeply felt stress. Inconjunctions (quincunxes) refer to giving up, a loss or losing balance. She had 2 or 3 of them. Saturn inconjunct Neptune was used in her profession as a nurse. The other inconjunct is:
Sun inconjunct Pluto. That is a very difficult aspect . Sun - Pluto aspects may be challenging (see Astromarkt) but not always fatal. An inconjunct makes it harder to survive, because the person in question is no match for the danger or authority of others, at least: in times of war. You have to consider the fact that difficult aspects are harder in hard times and in difficult situations. Pluto always intensifies and stresses. With an inconjunct, it could be just too much to be able to survive in times of danger.

When the two points involved in an aspect in the natal chart are connected by means of a transit or progression, the impact is much stronger than usual. Unfortunately, in 1915 transit Pluto repeated the natal inconjunct with her Sun and she faced the challenges that she just had to face because of her nature.

Blood Moon written in red, pink and orange

Some see an eclipse as a bad sign. Yesterday I watched the movie Noah and that is in a way a movie about a person who believed the bad signs that he (and only he) saw. It was a movie with a colored vision of humanity divided in the good (obedient veggies) and bad (blood thirsty flesh eaters), with the good doing bad things, too. Anyway, 25 euro and a bucket of pop corn later I knew that the movie Noah would be part of my next post. I study astrology since I was 15 (and I won't tell you when that was!). I know that charts don't 'predict' but 'reflect'. So I also know that the upheaval about a blood moon is a sign reflecting the fear and unrest in society more than vice versa. And yes, I know that this eclipse is full and rather unique. Read NASA about it: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/11/tech/innovation/blood-moon/index.html

John Hagee is a conservative christian who 'predicted' fundamental change involving Israel in 2007. Nothing happened and now he gives 2014/2015. It sounds a bit like the Maya calendar prophecies of 2012 and indeed: there are a lot of such prophecies (see Exit Mundi http://www.exitmundi.nl ). This is the chart of his day of birth. Watch the present transit Saturn near inconjunct his Sun and read about the examples on this site: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/search/label/inconjunct%20Saturn It isn't a happy transit.

Although it is a mistake to kill the messenger, it is right to have insight in the visions of a prophet, because what he thinks and what he says might have something to do with his personal ideas and maybe less with your reality. For example, he mentions the tetrades as related to the expulsion of the Spanish Jews, but not that the eclipses occurred AFTER that expulsion, so that it could hardly be called a prophetic eclipse. Yet, people choose to believe what he says. Watch the Sun-Jupiter-Neptune combination of fans, followers and religious beliefs.

I remember how I watched a not moving cloud before the moon on a summer night once. I was the only one interested, on that parking place. Nobody noticed, they watched their burger, their map or their children. In the days before electricity and TV, eclipses may have been spectacular. Today only those interested watch them. And apparently, mr. Hagee is one of them. So are a lot of astrologers. 

This full eclipse of April 15 will not be visible in Northern Europe or in Israel at all. Here is the chart for 'Blood moon' in Seoul.

I don't often write about eclipses (see the posts). This one is rare, says NASA and we are lucky to be able to see it (in America, for example). It is in the saros series 16 South and means 'wasted energy' according to Brady. The chart pictures a lot of nervous energy, like the tight Uranus-Pluto square and the combination of Mars, Eris and Saturn. The chart mirrors the worlds tension (Ukraine, Korea, Syria), but doesn't tell what we didn't know already. There is a threat of escalating aggression all over the world and it is hard for those in charge to avoid war at larger scale. Little we can do about it… 

We aren't Noah and my garden is too small for an ark. It also doesn't help to worry. Last week I felt completely powerless and sad when I found out that the care takers of the elderly home of my mother simply didn't give her her medication because it 'wasn't on a list' even though they knew her medical condition and history. I found out by accident that you can't feel safe and secure and content, ever. Yet, last night, in spite of the near full moon, I slept like a log for 12 hours and I woke up with pink cheeks. I wish you the same good nights sleep and a happy Pink /orange Moon!

Surgery and transit Uranus-Mars re Angelina Joly and Viktor Janukovicz

Transits of Uranus (see examples) often come by surprise. Mars-Uranus aspects are related to sudden actions, high speed, short fuses and unexpected moves. So, an accident is in line with the combination of a hit (Mars) and a shock (Uranus). Ebertin mentions 'bodily intervention' and 'injury' or 'scars' for Mars-Uranus.

Examples on this blog:

Angela Merkel's ski accident occurred with transit Uranus square her progressed Mars.
Late Dutch Prince Friso had a double inconjunct between Mars and Uranus on the day of the fatal ski accident: progressed Mars inconjunct Uranus and transit Uranus inconjunct natal Mars.
Bono (U2) had back surgery with transit Uranus exactly conjunct Mars (see: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/05/bono-u2-surgery-and-mars-uranus.html ).

In Combination of Stellar Influences a note says that Mars/Uranus is the operation axis (but there will have to be more indications, because it doesn't HAVE to be surgery). But sometimes it does. *)

Here are two new examples of transit Uranus-Mars and what happened:

1. Viktor Yanukovych left the country (Ukrania) in a hurry and it seems that he had a heart attack soon afterwards. Transit Uranus was opposite his Mars first (and Jupiter square, for help) and midpoint Uranus/Pluto hit his Mars afterwards (and transit Pluto square Mars will follow).

2. Angelina Joly will again have surgery to eliminate the threat of cancer. Jupiter accompanies the hit of Uranus square her Mars.

Here are the natal, transits and progressions for Angelina Joly and Viktor Janukovicz. Click the pictures to enlarge…

*) Also, sometimes there is an injury and surgery and no Mars-Uranus, like in the case of Michael Schumacher (though in the natal chart Mars is semi sextile Uranus and there was an opposition of Mars and Uranus in the days of the accident. See the post on resonance for an explanation of the importance of repeated aspects in natal, transit or progression).

Singular transits of Uranus with Mars or vice versa might mean no particular harm. You can have a planned surgery in those days or see the dentist…So don't worry, just take care.

Death of Sunanda Pushkar

On special request I had a look at the chart of Sunanda Pushkar-Tharoor, the Indian wife of a minister who was found death after accusing her husband to have an affair. Today, her son, Shiv Menon, stated that he blamed her death on an the combination of media stress, tension and wrongly mixed medications. That is in line with the transit and progressions. She was born on January 1, 1962. Everyone born on or around January 1 is subject to the intense tension of the Uranus-Pluto square. Moreover: her progressed Sun was in the 4th degree of Pisces. Transit Neptune (the symbol of confusion, media, medication, alcohol, isolation and drugs) was conjunct her Progressed Sun.

A chart doesn't give all the answer, certainly not without hour of birth. But the description of the situation as given by her son seems to be adequate. Accidental or suicide or murder? The chart doesn't say more than: a period of intense tension (Uranus-Pluto) and being in a confused state (Neptune-Sun).

Sunanda Pushkar's natal chart had
-  Venus conjunct Mars, rising before the Sun. This signals a passionate woman.
-  Mercury without major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. This 'calling' Mercury tells us about the importance of communications and reason.
The fiery lady is no more and it is still unclear (very Neptune!) what exactly happened in her final hours.

Living example of Uranus-Pluto: Dieudonné M'bala M'bala

Uranus is square Pluto, still and Mars adds some fuel. You can see it in the New Year's chart. 

Some of what happens these days perfectly mirrors Uranus-Pluto. This post is about a man born in 1966. That was with Uranus conjunct Pluto. 

Remember the post on 'Resonance',  the effect of the interaction between mundane transit aspects and natal aspects?*) 

 Quote:

When a transit repeats a natal aspect combination, this transit resonates the natal aspect. It sounds and resounds. It sounds harder on fruitful ground.

The generation of the mid-sixties is likely to be 'hit' by Uranus-Pluto's square. M'bala M'bala is one of them.

DIEUDONNE

Dieudonné M’bala M’bala was born in the decade of the 'protest generation' and is now the example of a ‘living Uranus-Pluto’. He is one of the most controversial persons in France today. I'll tell you why. 

He is the inventor of the ‘quenelle’, a salute that reminds us of the Nazi salute. He is said to be an anti-Semite because what he says is anti-Semite. He is supporter of and supported by the regime in Iran, they say. He has been convicted seven times on antisemitism charges. He is friends with the right wing, while he used to be an anti racist left wing activist. 

When the polemics started, in 2002, his progressed Sun was changing sign. That is the mark of a changing life style, a new period in life. … For more you just have to Google him.

That is one side of M'bala M'bala. He also has a lot of fans and followers (copying his gesture, the quenelle). Jupiter inconjunct Neptune, in aspect with the Sun is one of the  indications for this. People all over France (and in the USA) are making selfies with the quenelle, on spots related to Jews. 

 This is his chart, with today's transits and progressions.

URANUS-PLUTO

His natal chart is very Uranus-Pluto:

• 1.     Sun Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) with Moon in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) for a rather radical character
• 2.     Uranus is conjunct Pluto in his natal chart

Right now there is Uranus square Pluto and Mars is adding some fuel to this aspect. This combination hits his Progressed Sun and Mercury. In the progressed chart that you see here, Mars is inconjunct Uranus-Pluto. That is a sign of crisis (see the links for more examples).

Also, the Progressed Sun is conjunct Eris (the symbol of discord). 

LINKS

1. The exact square between Sun and Neptune in his natal chart really causes confusion. People like Woody Allen seriously think that M’bala M’bala is just joking (http://www.legorafi.fr/2013/05/15/woody-allen-dieudonne-est-le-plus-grand-humoriste-juif-de-tous-les-temps/ )

Is it an act? Then who is the real M’bala M’bala? For more on Sun-Neptune and being 'double': http://astromarkt.net/sun-neptune.html

2. I checked what happened when Uranus hit Pluto in history (here: http://www.astromarkt.net/uranus-pluto-history.html ). The mid sixties, when Mao had his cultural revolution, in the time of the beat-generation.
