Sarkozy detained over influence peddling



French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy has been detained for questioning over alleged influence peddling. Mr Sarkozy is being held at Nanterre, near Paris, in an unprecedented step against a former president. Mr Sarkozy is being questioned about whether he sought inside information from a judge concerning an investigation into campaign funding. The latest developments are seen as a blow to Mr Sarkozy's attempts to challenge for the presidency in 2017. BBC; Jul 1

To explain this event we will look at the last solar eclipse [8ta52] of April 29, 2014 at Paris. It was square the MC [10aq] and Sarkozy’s radix Sun [8aq].  The current New Moon of June 27  highlights the eclipse  by placing it on the MC at Paris.






Traditionally, the influence of an eclipse considered as a malefic brings troubles through affairs governed by the house in which the eclipse falls. In this case it fell in the 12th house about which H.S. Green writes:

Liable to bring some misfortune, sorrow, discredit or drawback to the country, the Monarch, the upper classes or the Government.




Progressing the eclipse to July 1, the date of the news, aligns the Cardinal Grand Cross with the meridian axis. If we incorporate the two TNPs Kronos and Hades in the Grand Cross we have the following delineations from Martha Wescott:

Kronos-Hades: To see links between “fame” and “shame”

Pluto-Hades: To recognize pressures that play on a sense of shame or the veiled threat of humiliation; to see ugliness rooted in resentment or a desire for revenge or power; problems and decline through loss of integrity; to hear of bribes and coercions to do mean things.

Pluto-Kronos: to be aware that prominent people (including leaders in government) are under substantial pressure; to see abuses of power through misuse of office, position, laws or procedures.


To complete our analysis, let us look at the horoscope of  the French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy. Astrodienst [1] provides a very accurate horoscope with a Lois Rodden rating of AA.

*** END REPORT ***

The table above gives the current solar arc progressions for Sarkozy. Notice that the MC is now within orb of a conjunction to radix Pluto and square Kronos. (delineated above). Martha Wescott’s interpretationfor  MC conjunct Pluto is:

To be “called on the carpet” by life, authorities or career situations; to have others test your position or credibility through confrontation, “dirty tricks” or attempts to manipulate.


Finally, progressing Sarkozy’s solar return chart (precessed) to July 1  brings the troublesome T-square of Pluto-Jupiter-Uranus-Kronos-Hades to the meridian triggering the event!
