Back in early 2011 the Arab Spring began in Egypt with the resignation of Hosni Mubarak following weeks of protests during which transiting Uranus was completing its passage through Pisces and making the final square aspect to the Sun in the chart for Egypt as I wrote in this earlier article. One chart factor that I did not include in my earlier research was that the Egyptian progressed Sun and Pluto were also aligned at that time, facilitating the complete destruction and regeneration of a new identity for the nation. Over the past few days as the Sun translated the Uranus/Pluto dynamic by aspecting first Pluto and then Uranus, linking the two together to increase the force of their pressure for revolutionary (Uranus) transformation (Pluto), the first duly elected president, Mohamed Morsi, was ousted by the Egyptian military. With Mercury retrograde and communication not going altogether as it should, there is some dispute as to whether or not he has been ousted. He claims he is still in power, as of this writing the military claims that they have taken over. The Full Moon on June 23rd was exactly opposite Mars in the Egyptian national chart and appears to have inflamed the military (governed by Mars) to take action. Most disturbing are reports of gang rapes among the protests in Tahrir Square that are reflected in the transit of the Black Moon Lilith (sexual assault and feminine rage) over the Sun (national identity) in the Egyptian national chart. The BML was tied in with the Full Moon chart that served as the trigger for these events, and it’s not surprising that women’s issues are coming to the surface now. The Black Moon Lilith conjoins the Moon in the Egyptian chart (which dates from the inception of modern Egypt in 1953), suggesting that the struggle of women in the country is a part of the national identity.

My opinion is that a strong man isn’t afraid to have a strong woman by his side. I wish Egypt and it’s people, especially the girls and women, a safe passage through this trauma and upheaval to the human rights they deserve.

CAIRO—Their faces painted with the red, white and black of the Egyptian flag, many women led marches and fierce chants Monday, defying one of the dark realities of more than two years of protests in Egypt—the widespread sexual violence against women who are participating in, or simply present at, antigovernment rallies.
On Sunday, roughly 50 women, among them a foreign female journalist, were sexually assaulted in Tahrir Square, according to three human-rights groups focusing on violence against women in Egypt.
Howdy. Have you ever considered a zero hour chart for the natal chart of the U.S.A. ? [12:00:01 July 4, 1776 Philadelphia, Penn.]
As an astrologer whom places heavy emphasis on the Sabian Symbols, as revealed by Elsie Wheeler and defined and explained by the late Dane Rudhyar with a certain obsession for Astrological Parts, I find it utterly fascinating and the most logical solution to the age old controversy surrounding the true natal chart of the U.S.A.
If you will use the astrodienst computerized ephemeris you will find that what is known to some as the Part of Transformation [Asc. +Uranus – Mars] is derived to be 09* Aries 29′ 25″, the Part of Liberty aka Part of Personal Liberty [Asc. + Sun – Mercury] to be at 09* Aries 37′ 25″, the Part of Love and Appreciation [Asc. + Venus – Sun] to be at 11* Aries 04′ 48″ and the Part of Increa$e and Benefit$ [Asc. + Jupiter – Sun] at 14* Aries 37′ 23″.
A timeline study of these Parts being conjuncted by Uranus recently and in the past is a real ‘eye opener’, imho. There is also a Part known as the Part of Race aka Part of Racial Consciousness aka Part of Galvanization [Asc. + Moon – Pluto] that is at 10* Taurus 45′ 14″ which Pluto itself was all over [direct and retrograde] during the U.S. Civil War and, by the Way, Neptune exactly conj. the, aforementioned, Part of Liberty just a few days after the formal surrender of the C.S.A. to the Union in May of 1865.
There’s much, much more, but I don’t wish to inundate you or your subscribers with a lot of data here.
A composite chart of the POTUS and this ‘zero hour’ chart is also very interesting. [and I have found it to be of particular interest that Obama’s Part of Catastrophe {Asc. + Uranus – Sun} to be in the 1st deg. of Pisces, defined by Rudhyar to represent “Commerce”. also of particular interest is a progressed natal for Obama for March 2015, if one pays special attention to the progressed M.C. and I.C. and Obamas Part of Sudden Parting {Asc. + Saturn – Uranus} and Part of Exile {Asc. – Uranus – Saturn}… it would seem that the U.S.A. is particularly affected by Uranus.}
I do urge you to take a look at a chart cast for the time and place submitted and give it consideration for purposes of national interest.
I should have mentioned, that Richard Nixon’s natal chart progressed to the day He resigned shows His natal Part of Sudden Change [Asc. + Pluto – Uranus] to be conj. His progressed natal I.C. …as a ref. to Obama’s prog. natal chart for March 2015 and for further understanding.
Thanks for the opportunity to share this.
Peace, D.M.
