Note to Gaddafi: “Beware: The Ides of March.”
by Randall Ruyle
The astrological birth chart for Muammar al-Gaddafi is set for Sirte Libya on Sunday June 7th 1942. Birth time is unknown. In light of his public profile a time of 12 Noon has been selected.
Since we are most likely to find aspects for an event related to the ongoing revolt in Libya, the focus is naturally towards that warrior of a planet Mars and the Moon to rule the public’s emotions. Normally in a twenty-four hour time frame a combination of aspects such as a transiting Mars square natal Sun along with transiting Moon conjunct natal Mars may bring with it a domestic dispute with angry overtones. However when these aspects are showing up in a dictator’s chart at a time when ‘The People’ are in revolt they can take on a much more determinant meaning: Especially when the determined dictator has stated he will die before giving up his title.
Add to the transits of the natal chart the progressed chart and you see confirmation of a sobering reality setting in on Gaddafi’s delusional dictatorship. That is the progressed chart for him shows the Moon in conjunction to Neptune. The conjunction becomes exact on March 11th and quickly falls away leaving Gaddafi to the stark reality of the day.
Most notable in Gaddafi’s upcoming astrological future is the combination of transiting Mars in square aspect to his natal Sun along with the transiting Moon conjunct his natal Mars. Transiting Sun also adds to the mixture as it forms a square aspect to his natal Mercury.
If you make a schedule of the exact aspects made in this combination you find that on March 15th Mercury makes its square aspect to the natal Sun shortly after midnight Libyan time. Transiting Mars then squares his natal Sun later that morning before noon. Finally the transiting Moon conjuncts his natal Mars in the early afternoon.
So, what does it all mean?
Well, if the house placement is anywhere near correct one potential astrological scenario is this: Shortly after midnight the transiting Sun square Mercury “the messenger” brings Gaddafi challenging information regarding (7th house) “open enemies” that could affect his (10th house) “public standing”. By that morning as transiting Mars (6th house) “his health” squares his natal Sun “his life force”. Gaddafi is met with aggression and in this case quite possibly death. When the transiting Moon ” the public”(11th house) “rebel movement” conjuncts his natal Mars, by that afternoon, his demise is announced to the public. What a day!
So, should funeral arrangements be made for Maummar soon? I don’t know…Maybe not…You know we all have free will…The stars may impel, but don’t compel…and Gaddafi could convert from a delusional despotic dictator that is massacring his own citizenry by the hundreds to a sober peace loving statesman over the next few days…couldn’t he?
Or the “free world” could come to his aid.
Nah! Time to build a pyre.
By the way: How do you really spell his last name? http://tinyurl.com/nbemwl )

Egypt
by Gene Johnson

There are several charts for Egypt. There is an AFA chart by Marc Penfield – March 15, 1922 @ 12:43 AM, Cairo. I don’t know what historical event that is supposed to correspond to. On February 28, 1922 Egypt was given its independence from Britain by the Declaration to Egypt by His Britannic Majesty’s Government. A chart could be set-up for that event.
On June 18, 1953, King Farouk was removed from power of a military coup led by Colonel Nasser. According to a chart published by Glenn Malec the time of that chart is 10:05 PM, and set for Cairo. This seems to be the best chart. It certainly is reactive to the current situation.
This chart shows 17 AQU 32 ASC, with Saturn in 20 LIB 34 in the 8th, CONJ Neptune at 21 LIB, and these SQU to Mercury at 20 CAN. Mercury rules the 8th ( 29 VIR). So, this is a strong indicator for sudden eruptions of violence/chaos/transformation. The pairing Saturn and Neptune are interesting – too much caution/pessimism/rigidity repression meets too much vagueness/evasion/inefficiency/corruption. One of the major beefs of the protestors was the corrupt government. Mubarek had millions of Egyptians on his “payroll”, who of course supported him, they were each others’ meal ticket, and he himself is reported to be richer than Bill Gates, so was a very effective robber of the public treasury. Uranus is CONJ Mercury and also SQU the Neptune/Saturn, so this four planet configuration is a key to this chart.
On January 25, noon, the transiting Moon was 20 LIB and Saturn 17 LIB, and CONJ the radix Neptune & Saturn and SQU to radix Uranus. Transiting Sun & Mars were CONJ the NNode of the radix chart. And the transiting Pluto, NNode are OPP to the radix Sun and Mars, which added fuel to the fire. Also, transiting Jupiter & Uranus were SQU the radix Sun. So, this was a very hot transiting alignment on the first day of the demonstrations.
In the progressions: Sun ℗ in CONJ Pluto®. Moon ℗ 25 LIB is SQU MC ℗. Mars ℗ is SQU ASC ℗. Mercury. And a biggie, Uranus ℗ is SQU Saturn ®
The Total Lunar Eclipse ( 29 GEM) of December 21, fell across the ASC/DSC at Cairo, and was OPP the Egyptian Sun (27 SAG). Also, transiting Pluto at 4 CAP was OPP radix Mars. Could we speculate that this presaged a national identity crisis?
The Solar Eclipse chart for January 4, set for Cairo, is also interesting. The N Node, Pluto, Sun/Moon, & Mars, all in CAP are in the 10th, and the Uranus, Jupiter CONJ in PIS is just past the ASC. A clear signature of possible “shake-up” in the government (10th) as the people ( 1st) rise up.
Probably the most important thing to watch over the coming months is the movement of Saturn as it approaches its Return. It only makes one pass by radix Saturn On October 17, this year. And, then, there is Uranus moving through Aries SQU radix Mars, which will keep things stirred up.
