Giant ‘Freedom Protest’ Underway in Hong Kong




A civil disobedience pro-democracy movement aiming to paralyse parts of Hong Kong with a massive sit-in has issued its demands. Occupy Central says it wants the Chinese government to scrap rules outlining the election of the next chief executive in 2017. It also wants the resumption of public consultation on democratic reforms. Thousands of protesters are camped outside government headquarters in central Hong Kong. Occupy Central leader Benny Tai announced the launch of the campaign to the cheers of supporters on Saturday (Sept.27). BBC





We are now in the shadow of a powerful Lunar Eclipse about to take place on October 8. In Hong Kong the eclipse Moon is placed in 12th house that deals with “human rights” [1]


The eclipse Moon is conjunct Uranus. The Uranus-Full Moon conjoining stars include Alderamin of  Cepheus and Alpheratz of Andromeda [2]. Uranus  reveals where and how we wish to break from the conformity of the past.

Alderamin, the Alpha star of Cepheus, is the right shoulder of King Cepheus, father of the Royal Family and Princess Andromeda, often portraying one in an authoritative position. Alderamin imparts a quality of authoritative responsibility. With afflicted alignments, Alderamin can expresses as denial, avoidance, or turning one's head from dealing with the manipulative power plays causing our or other people's entrapment with a flippant attitude to do anything about them.

Alpheratz is one of four stars of the Great Square of Pegasus and is part of Andromeda and Pegasus both. As Alpha Andromeda, it is the head (psyche) of the princess in chains. Although the stage setting in which Andromeda is trapped (chained to rocks about to be devoured by Cetus) seems complex, there is a prerequisite for her freedom—an inner metamorphosis, an emotional maturing into the readiness to receive aid. Often time, we are ready to change only when in the chains of the human struggle. And our inner readiness precedes receiving support to change. Forceful attempts to break free before we are ready only tighten the chain of bondage. Here lies our need to break free from the human mold, from the genetic, cultural, and personal pattering forming our lives. The stars of Andromeda articulate the struggle for freedom from the collective and tormenting forces of the psycho-emotional human world, to claim our true galactic birthright and evolutionary destiny. Alpheratz's fortuitous position ultimately brings success and reward in this worthy pursuit.


Alignments with Alpheratz can also express as being caught in the power plays created by the arrogance or denials of others. Alpheratz can also indicate our vulnerability to the emotional and psychic delusions of others, especially those in our genealogical line or karmic past—often manifesting as elaborate emotional dramatics. Alpheratz asks us to get un-entangled from the human psycho-emotional drama, or accept a sentence of bondage not rightfully ours. [3]


In our context, Alderamin of King Cepheus is an obvious reference to the Chinese leadership while Alpheratz of the Princess Andromeda is the populace of Hongkong demanding their freedom.

In this post we will use the concept of Converse Progressions. Readers unfamiliar with the subject are referred to Reference [4]. Using solar quotidian (daily angles) converse progression on the eclipse chart we can see the Grand Cross containing the eclipse axis aligns with the angles on September 27 when Occupy Central leader Benny Tai announced the launch of the campaign.

 Uranus-Pluto in the Grand Cross symbolizes the archetypal clash: courageous/warrior-like actions of individuals on behalf of the people's liberties (Uranus in Aries) vs. an intensification/consolidation of power by institutional structures facing threats to their authority (Pluto in Capricorn).
