All couples will now be allowed to have two
children, the state-run news agency said, citing a statement from the Communist
Party. The controversial policy was introduced nationally in 1979, to reduce
the country's birth rate and slow the population growth rate. However, concerns
at China's ageing population led to pressure for change. The one-child policy
is estimated to have prevented about 400 million births since it began. Couples
who violated the policy faced a variety of punishments, from fines and the loss
of employment to forced abortions. Over time, the policy was relaxed in some
provinces, as demographers and sociologists raised concerns about rising social
costs and falling worker numbers. The Communist Party began formally relaxing
national rules two years ago, allowing couples in which at least one of the
pair is an only child to have a second child. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34665539
The
cardinal ingresses of the Sun have a traditional reputation as important mundane events. Among these the Capricorn ingress (Capsolar)
is the “master chart” of the year. The
chart for the current Capricorn Ingress drawn for Beijing is shown here. Notice
that a powerful Grand Cross straddles the meridian axis. The five planets along with the TNP Cupido in
the first house form a stellium that becomes one of the legs of the Grand Cross
opposite the TNPs Kronos-Hades. Using key phrases provided by Martha Wescott and Ebertin we have following interpretations:
Cupido-Kronos:
Laws and regulations that apply to families
Hades-Kronos:
Mistakes have been made in connection with laws or authoritative action; laws
that have caused a decline or just made
things worse or are felt as demeaning or
humiliating.
Uranus-Pluto:
Transformation; the collapse of an old order and the beginning of a new one.
One of the
planets in the stellium is Venus isthe ruler of the 5th house, which
in mundane astrology rules “children” [2] so that it is laws concerning
children that are being transformed. If we now progress the Capricorn Ingress
chart to October 29, the date of the news, we find that the progressed
Ascendant conjoins Pluto, thereby triggering the Cross.
